Inventory method for supporting inventory in business based on RFID

Abstract

In the inventory management business of a retail sales system, inventory operation is often carried out, and most of inventory operation must be carried out in a closed store, so that the accuracy of the inventory can be ensured. In this way, inventory management personnel or shop assistants need to wait for a very night to complete inventory checking operation. Therefore, the inventorying system supporting the inventorying in the operation based on the RFID system is developed to solve the inventorying problem of RFID controlled commodities, convenience is provided for business personnel, the inventorying operation can be carried out while normal sales and inventory operation are carried out, the working efficiency is improved, and the employee investment time is reduced. And meanwhile, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) is used for checking, so that the advantages are realized, and the accuracy and the reliability are higher. Due to the fact that the RFID tag has a unique identification code and a data storage function, the RFID tag can accurately identify and track the position and the state of each article, human errors and deviation are reduced, and the accuracy of inventory management is improved. The RFID checking technology eliminates the tedious process of traditional manual checking. According to the technical scheme, manual one-by-one scanning and recording of commodity information are not needed any more, the RFID tags can automatically read data on a plurality of tags, the checking time is greatly shortened, and the working efficiency is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to Internet retail, and specifically to inventory management, commodity management, RFID supplementary recording, and RFID inventory functions. The present invention is an inventory counting method for performing inventory counting during business operations through RFID. Background Art

[0002] In the inventory management business of retail sales systems, inventory counting is often required, and most inventory counting must be done after the store is closed to ensure the accuracy of the inventory. This results in inventory management personnel or store clerks having to wait until very late to complete the inventory counting operation. For this reason, we have developed an inventory counting system based on RFID system to support inventory counting in operation, in order to solve the inventory counting problem of RFID-controlled goods, provide convenience for sales staff, and conduct inventory counting operations while performing normal sales and inventory operations, improve work efficiency, and reduce employee time investment.

[0003] At the same time, using RFID for inventory counting also has its advantages, with higher accuracy and reliability. Because RFID tags have unique identification codes and data storage functions, they can accurately identify and track the location and status of each item, reduce human errors and deviations, and improve the accuracy of inventory management. RFID inventory counting technology eliminates the tedious process of traditional manual inventory counting. There is no need to manually scan and record product information one by one. RFID tags can automatically read data on multiple tags, greatly shortening inventory counting time and improving work efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is a system based on RFID, which identifies commodity data through RFID scanning, submits inventory data, generates inventory snapshots during inventory, and analyzes the actual inventory situation and snapshot data, thus realizing an inventory system that can support business operations. At the same time, the system can be used to perform RFID supplementary recording maintenance, and provide inventory inventory situation reports and inventory inventory difference reports, so as to help retail stores understand inventory inventory situations, assist store business management, understand store inventory situations, and improve the precise control of store inventory.

[0005] 1. Product Management RFID Management Capabilities Configure the basic information of the product, the product serial number, and the RFID control status.

[0006] 2. RFID & SN Supplementary Recording Capability The supplementary entry function can be used to supplement the relevant information for products that are missing RFID and SN information in the system.

[0007] 3. Inventory of information management capabilities It includes the management of inventory plan, creation, submission for review, and inventory entry. Inventory sheet management, multiple inventory sheets can be created in the inventory plan, and inventory sheets can be added and deleted. After the inventory plan is entered, inventory analysis, surplus, and shortage sheets are generated.

[0008] IV. Inventory Analysis Report For store inventory, there are inventory statistics reports and reports on inventory changes and differences after inventory.

[0009] 5. RFID Inventory APP You can create an inventory list in the inventory plan, identify the RFID code through the App, submit the inventory data, operate and review the inventory plan, and view the current inventory analysis and differences. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Figure 1 A topological diagram of the RFID inventory counting system involved in the present invention.

[0011] Figure 2 The present invention relates to a business operation process for performing RFID inventory counting. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] 1. Configure RFID control status in commodity management Add product attributes such as RFID control and SN control to store products, and configure products for RFID control for products that need RFID control. Attach RFID tags to all physical RFID-controlled products.

[0013] 2. For products with missing RFID, re-enter In the RFID supplementary query, check which inventory items are missing RFID coding information, and perform supplementary operations on the items that are missing RIFD barcode information.

[0014] 3. Specific RFID inventory operation process The specific inventory process of the RFID inventory system is as follows: a. Create a new inventory plan on the inventory app, select the inventory category, and choose to enable RFID for inventory.

[0015] b. Enter the newly created inventory plan, click Start Inventory Plan, and begin the inventory.

[0016] c. After starting the inventory count, the background will automatically generate an inventory snapshot of the current inventory category for comparison with subsequent inventory counts.

[0017] d. Add a new inventory count sheet. Add a new inventory count sheet to the inventory count plan. Create multiple inventory count sheets under one inventory count plan. Finally, the results of multiple inventory count sheets are summarized to generate an inventory analysis of the entire inventory count plan.

[0018] e. Enter and select a certain inventory list, then start the RFID inventory scan. The RFID scanner will submit the identified RFID data to the system.

[0019] f. After scanning all products in this category, click Submit Inventory Review.

[0020] g. Personnel with inventory review authority can review the inventory results based on the inventory analysis and click on the inventory entry operation.

[0021] h. After inventory entry, calculate the current profit and loss situation based on the snapshot and generate an inventory surplus and loss order. If there is a surplus, enter the RFID into the warehouse and call the RFID system for RFID entry.

[0022] J. If there is a shortage, check whether the current RFID is outbound due to other means. If so, ignore the shortage adjustment. If so, perform RFID outbound and call the RFID system to perform RFID outbound operation.

[0023] 4. Generate analysis reports based on inventory data and provide inventory statistics The inventory status report should include the store where the inventory was taken and the time of the most recent inventory, as well as the number of inventory counts in the past month.

[0024] Provide store, time period filtering query.

[0025] The inventory difference report includes the profit and loss of each inventory. The specific data rows include store, product name, number of surpluses, number of shortages, actual number of items, etc.
