Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of picking indication systems, and in particular to a parts picking indication system based on a visual tablet computer. Background Art

[0002] The current technical method mainly prints stocking instruction tickets based on the order-requiring system, and then prepares the stock according to the batch number information on the stocking instruction ticket. During the stocking process, different orders need to correspond to different parts, and the stocking is sorted and picked according to the part number. The invention mainly targets the problems of wrong sorting, missing sorting, and low efficiency in sorting and picking. The current technical method mainly instructs the pickers to sort and pick through paper instruction tickets. There is a lack of clear position instructions and part number matching process, which leads to sorting errors in the sorting of parts in the logistics process during production, resulting in production line shutdowns. The error rate is high, and repeated manual verification is required to effectively avoid this risk. In addition to manual picking, there is also a supermarket 2.0 method that relies entirely on AGV to drag parts carts loaded with different part numbers and implement the "goods to person" picking logic. This method has a large overall capital investment and low overall efficiency. Summary of the invention

The picking modes include automatic picking and manual picking. Automatic picking: WMS kanban and instruction tickets are received through the interface. According to the relationship between the user and the logistics template, the instruction tickets are pushed to the stocking task according to the principle of serial number from small to large. When there are multiple consistent serial numbers, they are pushed to the pickers according to the principle of equipment storage from small to large. Use the automatic picking function to display the instruction ticket information recommended by the system, scan the instruction ticket number printed from WMS to confirm picking, scan the equipment code to confirm the picking equipment, and display the equipment model. Manual picking: Receive the WMS board and instruction ticket through the interface, assign the instruction ticket to the designated user according to the relationship between the user and the logistics template, use the manual picking function, display the instruction ticket information recommended by the system, scan the instruction ticket number printed from the WMS to confirm the picking, scan the equipment code to confirm the picking equipment, and display the equipment model. In the above two picking methods, according to the order of the parts in the instruction ticket in the warehouse from small to large (except for multi-layer equipment), the picking part number and part warehouse location are prompted in turn, scan the box label or part warehouse location, confirm the part number, the system prompts the location where the part should be placed, after placement, click Finish or scan the equipment location code, after the stocking list picking is completed, click Finish, and the inspector can conduct the stocking list inspection; through the combination of automation and artificial intelligence technology, the efficiency and accuracy of the picking operation are improved; through the use of visual tablet computers, not only the convenience of operation is improved, but also it helps to reduce the error rate and speed up the operation, and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving the overall warehouse management efficiency.
