Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of product traceability management, and in particular to an electronic traceability method, system, equipment and medium for export cigarettes. Background Art

[0002] In the field of cigarette production and sales, especially in the management of export cigarettes, the application of traceability systems is particularly important. Since cigarette products involve multiple levels from production to sales, including boxes, strips, pieces, pallets and other packaging units, ensuring the accurate association between traceability codes and product information at each level is the key to ensuring product traceability. At present, domestic cigarette manufacturers must strictly follow the regulations on traceability code assignment when facing the export market to ensure the traceability of product sources, destinations and authenticity.

[0003] However, in actual operation, due to the large number and complexity of traceability codes, manual inspection is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure accuracy. Specifically, manual methods cannot effectively determine the validity of each traceability code, that is, it is impossible to confirm whether the traceability code is authentic and uniquely corresponds to a specific product. In addition, manual methods cannot efficiently complete the information association between the traceability code and packaging units at all levels (such as boxes, strips, pieces, and pallets), which may lead to information fragmentation or confusion during the traceability process.

[0004] Therefore, the main problem in the existing technology is the inefficiency and inaccuracy of traceability code management, which not only increases production costs, but also may affect the market reputation of products and consumers' purchasing confidence. In view of the above situation, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can automatically, efficiently and accurately handle traceability code assignment, verification and information association to improve the traceability management level of exported cigarettes. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an electronic traceability method, system, device and medium for exported cigarettes, which solves the technical problems of inefficient and inaccurate traceability code management in export management in the field of cigarette production and sales.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0085] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0086] like Figure 1As shown, an electronic traceability method for export cigarettes proposed in an embodiment of the present invention includes: submitting an export cigarette demand plan to the approval department system, and receiving the export cigarette plan issued by the approval department system after verification; docking with corresponding agents according to the export cigarette plan, and automatically applying for territorial code data corresponding to the cigarette packaging level; generating a territorial code plan according to the export cigarette plan, automatically synchronizing the territorial code plan to production equipment, guiding the production equipment to code, automatically box and automatically page cigarette products of different cigarette packaging levels, and automatically executing the association and binding operation between cigarette products of different cigarette packaging levels based on the territorial code read in real time; intelligently storing, scanning and warehousing, and tracking the shipment of cigarette products to be exported until the cigarette products arrive at the destination port and receive confirmation of receipt information.

[0087] First, by submitting the export cigarette demand plan to the approval department system and receiving the approved export cigarette plan, this method not only simplifies the traditional application process, but also greatly improves the accuracy of the plan and the efficiency of approval.

[0088] Secondly, the present invention can automatically connect with the agent's code issuing agency and quickly apply for the territorial code data corresponding to the cigarette packaging level, thereby effectively avoiding problems such as data leakage and printing errors that may occur in traditional methods, and ensuring the security and accuracy of the data.

[0089] Furthermore, the present invention automatically synchronizes the local code plan to the production equipment, guiding the production equipment to perform accurate coding, automatic box separation and automatic paging. This not only improves production efficiency, but also can automatically perform the association and binding operations between different cigarette packaging levels based on the local code read in real time, greatly improving the automation of the production process and significantly improving the convenience and timeliness of product traceability.

[0090] It should be emphasized that the present invention does not need to rely on the printing factory for coding, which not only effectively prevents the risk of data leakage outside the system, but also avoids the mistakes such as duplicate codes and wrong codes that may occur during the printing process. More importantly, it solves the problem of short validity of the traceability QR code, and the problem of timeout and failure of printing by a third party no longer exists.

[0091] In addition, the present invention adopts offline coding technology, which shows higher flexibility and adaptability compared with the commonly used online coding method. It can be adjusted at any time according to the production plan, production line, and production equipment, easily supporting one-to-many production tasks, and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0092] Furthermore, the present invention also has functions such as intelligent storage, code scanning and delivery tracking, ensuring that every link of cigarette products from production to export is traceable and controllable. Until the cigarette products arrive safely at the destination port and receive confirmation of receipt, this method provides all-round and no-dead-angle supervision and guarantee for export cigarettes, greatly enhancing the market competitiveness of products and reducing potential risks, thereby greatly improving the supply chain transparency and management efficiency of export cigarettes.

[0093] Therefore, the present invention can smoothly connect the traceability code data with the code issuing agency or distributor outside the country of origin by implementing the control of laser coding, automatic paging, four-code association and other software and hardware equipment, combined with manual offline coding and associated manual operations. This not only meets the requirements of the country of origin for the printing and association of traceability codes for export cigarette products, but also provides great convenience for the production and export process of export cigarettes. This not only optimizes the production and circulation process of export cigarettes, but also shows significant advantages in ensuring data security, improving production efficiency, enhancing product traceability and reducing risks.

[0094] In order to better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0095] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic tracing method for exported cigarettes, comprising:

[0096] S1. Submit the export cigarette demand plan to the approval department system, and receive the export cigarette plan issued by the approval department system after verification.

[0097] S2. Connect with the corresponding agents according to the export cigarette plan and automatically apply for the territorial code data corresponding to the cigarette packaging level.

[0098] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, step S2 includes:

[0099] S21. Determine the cigarette demand of the destination market and the level of cigarette packaging required by analyzing the received export cigarette plans.

[0100] S22. Based on the cigarette demand of the target market and the level of cigarette packaging required, combined with the geographical distribution, historical cooperation records and code package allocation capabilities of the agents obtained from the pre-set agent database, multiple agent systems to be connected are automatically identified and sorted.

[0101] This step focuses on screening suitable agents from the pre-set agent database. The screening criteria include the agent's geographical distribution (to ensure that the agent covers the target market), historical cooperation records (to evaluate the agent's reliability and cooperation results), and code pack distribution capabilities (to examine the agent's efficiency in cigarette distribution and logistics). Based on these criteria, multiple potential agent systems to be connected are automatically identified and sorted according to the comprehensive evaluation results so that they can be connected in sequence later.

[0102] S23. Send the application request to the first agent system to be connected in sequence, and wait for the agent system to respond. If the response times out or fails, automatically try other agent systems to be connected in sequence until the agent system returns the territorial code data; wherein the request includes the type and quantity of the required territorial code and the corresponding cigarette product information.

[0103] S24. The territorial code data returned by the agent system is verified for data integrity and accuracy through the built-in data verification module. If there is a problem with the verification, the application request will be resent or manual intervention will be requested.

[0104] In this step, the received territorial code data is first checked for completeness, that is, whether the data entries are complete and there are no missing items; then, the accuracy of the territorial code data is verified. This includes checking whether the territorial code conforms to the expected format and encoding rules, such as the specific structure of a barcode or QR code. It is also verified whether the information in the territorial code matches the cigarette product information provided in the request.

[0105] During the verification process, a variety of algorithms are used to ensure the correctness of the data, such as parity check, XOR check or more complex CRC check. These algorithms perform specific calculations on the data to generate a check value, which is then compared with the check value provided by the sender. If the check values ​​are consistent, it means that the data has not been tampered with or damaged during transmission.

[0106] S3. Generate a territorial code plan based on the export cigarette plan, automatically synchronize the territorial code plan to the production equipment, guide the production equipment to code, automatically box and paginate cigarette products at different cigarette packaging levels, and automatically perform the association and binding operations between cigarette products at different cigarette packaging levels based on the territorial codes read in real time.

[0107] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, step S3 includes:

[0108] S31. Automatically generate a corresponding territorial code plan based on the received export cigarette plan; wherein the territorial code plan includes the territorial code allocation principle and quantity of each cigarette product.

[0109] S32. Automatically synchronize the generated territorial code plan to the production equipment of the manufacturing enterprise.

[0110] S33. Through a synchronized territorial code plan, guide production equipment to code cigarette products at different cigarette packaging levels to ensure that each cigarette product is assigned a unique and correct territorial code.

[0111] S34. During the coding process, guide the production equipment to automatically separate the stacked cigarette boxes, automatically separate the box skins or strip skins on the conveyor belt, and correct the position of the box skins or strip skins.

[0112] Furthermore, in step S34, guiding the production equipment to automatically sort the stacked cigarette boxes includes: controlling the production equipment to start an automatic sorting program, which is configured to be able to identify and separate the stacked cigarette boxes one by one; in the automatic sorting process, guiding the cigarette boxes to pass through the first barcode scanner one by one in sequence through the transmission equipment in the production equipment, triggering the first barcode scanning detection; judging whether the cigarette box has been coded according to the detection result of the first barcode scanner; if it is detected that the cigarette box has been coded, controlling the coding machine to remain in a closed state to avoid repeated coding; if it is detected that the cigarette box has been coded, If the cigarette box is not coded, the transmission equipment in the production equipment will guide the cigarette box to move forward, and then the coding machine in the production equipment will be controlled to start and laser code the cigarette box; after the cigarette box is coded, the transmission equipment in the production equipment will guide the cigarette box through the second barcode scanner again to trigger automatic detection of the coded content; according to the detection results of the second barcode scanner, if unqualified cigarette boxes containing uncoded, crooked or fuzzy codes are found, the air blowing rejection equipment in the production equipment will be controlled to automatically reject the unqualified products to ensure that only qualified cigarette boxes can enter the next process.

[0113] In a specific embodiment, reference Figure 4 The laser offline coding equipment for formed boxes includes a display 1, a laser machine and a nozzle 2, a barcode scanner 3, an alarm light 4, a waste bin 5, a box separation head 6, and a cabinet 7. Among them: the display is used to display the code reading results; the laser machine is used to laser code the formed small boxes; the barcode scanner is used to detect whether the printed code is compliant and collect data for subsequent association; the alarm light is used to alarm when the rejection is triggered; the waste bin is used to store cigarette boxes that are rejected due to unqualified coding; the box separation head is used to automatically separate the small boxes for laser coding in sequence; the cabinet is used to store the industrial computer to control the coding software and related machinery.

[0114] The embodiment of the present invention uses a forming box laser offline coding device to code cigarette products of different cigarette packaging levels. During the coding process, the forming box laser offline coding device first automatically separates the stacked cigarette boxes. This step is achieved by controlling the production equipment to start a special automatic box separation program. The program has an intelligent recognition function and can separate the stacked cigarette boxes one by one, ensuring that each cigarette box can enter the subsequent processing flow individually and orderly.

[0115] After the packing is completed, the cigarette boxes will be guided by the transmission equipment in the production equipment and pass through the first barcode scanner 3-1 one by one in order. This link triggers the first barcode scanning detection, the purpose of which is to quickly determine whether the cigarette box has been coded. This step is crucial to avoid repeated coding, because repeated coding not only wastes resources, but also may affect product tracking and management.

[0116] If the first scanner 3-1 detects that the cigarette box has been coded, it intelligently controls the coder to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the cigarette box will not be coded repeatedly. This instant feedback and control mechanism greatly improves production efficiency and coding accuracy.

[0117] On the contrary, if it is detected that the cigarette box is not coded, the conveyor will guide the cigarette box to continue moving forward. Then, the control coder starts to accurately laser code the cigarette box. Laser coding can ensure that each cigarette box is given a clear and readable code mark.

[0118] After the coding is completed, the cigarette box will be guided by the transmission device to pass through the second barcode scanner 3-2 again. This link triggers the second barcode scanner 3-2 to automatically detect the coded content. The purpose of this step is to identify and eliminate any unqualified cigarette boxes containing uncoded, crooked or fuzzy codes. Through strict quality inspection, it can be ensured that only qualified cigarette boxes that fully meet the standards can enter the next process.

[0119] For unqualified products detected, the built-in air blowing rejection device is controlled to automatically reject them. This efficient rejection mechanism not only reduces the burden of manual quality inspection, but also further improves the overall quality level of the production line.

[0120] In short, the embodiment of the present invention realizes efficient and accurate coding of cigarette products by using the offline laser coding equipment for forming boxes, combined with advanced technologies such as automatic box separation, intelligent code scanning detection and automatic rejection. This not only improves production efficiency, but also significantly improves product quality and market competitiveness.

[0121] And, the automatic paging of the box skins or strip skins on the conveyor belt and the correction of the position of the box skins or strip skins in step S34 include: controlling the production equipment to start the automatic paging program, the automatic paging program is configured to be able to identify and separate the stacked box skins or strip skins one by one, to ensure that only a single box skin or strip skin is conveyed each time; in the automatic paging process, the position of the box skins or strip skins on the conveyor belt is adjusted by adjusting the direction and angle of the box skins or strip skins using a laser offline coding device to ensure that the box skins or strip skins are in the best position for coding; after coding the surface of the box skins or strip skins, the coding content is automatically detected using a barcode scanner, and if unqualified box skins or strip skins including uncoded, crooked and fuzzy codes are found, the pressing device in the production equipment is controlled to automatically remove the unqualified box skins or strip skins, and the qualified box skins or strip skins are automatically sorted and collected.

[0122] In a specific embodiment, reference Figure 5 The laser off-line coding equipment for box skins includes a paging component 8, a deflection correction component 9, a double sheet detection component 10, a coding conveying component 11, a code reading conveying component 12, a high-speed rejection component 13, a transition conveying component 14, a suction conveying component 15, and a material sorting component 16. Among them: the paging module is used to separate the stacked box skins or strip skins into single sheets for subsequent coding operations; the deflection correction module is used to correct the box skins or strip skins that are fixed and deviated from the conveyor belt; the double sheet detection is used to detect whether there are double sheets; the coding conveying is used to transport a single box skin or strip skin to the coding position and laser code it; the code reading conveying is used to read and detect the coded materials, and collect them at the same time for subsequent association; the high-speed rejection is used to reject unqualified materials; the transition conveying module is used to transport the materials that have passed the printing; the suction conveying module and the material sorting module are used to sort the qualified materials into piles.

[0123] This embodiment uses advanced laser off-line coding equipment for cigarette cases to automatically sort the stacked cigarette cases. This step is achieved by starting the automatic paging program, which can intelligently identify and separate the stacked cigarette cases or strips one by one, ensuring that only a single cigarette case or strip is conveyed on the conveyor belt at a time. This function greatly improves production efficiency and avoids coding errors caused by overlapping multiple cigarette cases or strips.

[0124] During the automatic paging process, the laser offline coding equipment is used to correct the position of the box skin or strip skin on the conveyor belt. By accurately adjusting the direction and angle of the box skin or strip skin, it is ensured that each box skin or strip skin is in the most favorable position for coding. This step is crucial to improving the quality and accuracy of coding because it ensures that the laser beam can accurately print on the predetermined position of the box skin or strip skin.

[0125] In order to ensure that a single box cover or strip of paper is being conveyed, a double sheet detection is performed. This step uses a special sensor to detect whether there are multiple overlapping box covers or strips on the conveyor belt. Only when it is confirmed that a single box cover or strip of paper is being conveyed, the coding device will start to dynamically code the surface of the box cover or strip. This mechanism effectively avoids coding errors and waste caused by double sheets.

[0126] After the coding is completed, the coded content is automatically inspected using advanced visual technology. This step can quickly identify unqualified box skins or strip skins, including those without coding, crooked coding, and fuzzy coding. Once unqualified products are found, the pressing device in the production equipment will automatically remove these box skins or strip skins, ensuring that only qualified box skins or strip skins can enter the next process.

[0127] Finally, qualified box skins or strip skins will be automatically sorted and collected. This step is achieved by using special sorting and collecting equipment, which can ensure that qualified box skins or strip skins are collected and stored in an orderly manner, ready for subsequent packaging and transportation.

[0128] In short, this embodiment achieves efficient and accurate coding of cigarette boxes by adopting advanced laser offline coding equipment and automated processing technology. The entire process is highly automated, which not only improves production efficiency, but also significantly improves product quality and market competitiveness.

[0129] It should be understood that the laser coding equipment in the present invention adopts an ultraviolet laser module. The ultraviolet laser equipment is dominated by low output power, stable characteristics, small size, low functional loss, and small thermal hazard area. It will not cause open flames or burns during printing, and supports printing through thin films. And through-film printing will not destroy the structure of the film or break through the film to cause air leakage. The two-dimensional code printed by ultraviolet laser is clear and neat, supports ultra-fine laser marking, and is easy to read by PDA or mobile phone.

[0130] S35. Use sensors and barcode scanners on production equipment to read the territorial codes of cigarette products in real time.

[0131] S36. Based on the coded territorial code information read in real time, guide the production equipment to automatically perform the association and binding operation between different cigarette packaging levels, and upload the associated data to the data repository; wherein the association and binding operation includes the association between boxes of cigarettes and cartons of cigarettes and / or the association between cartons of cigarettes and pieces of cigarettes, and each level of cigarette products corresponds to the products of the previous level or the next level.

[0132] like Figure 6As shown, the box-strip association integrated machine is used by the operator to manually bind and associate the finished small boxes of cigarettes and bar boxes of cigarettes for verification and traceability of later production, transportation, sales, and marketing. The box condition offline manual association device adopted by the present invention includes a chassis 17, a limit trigger component 18, a box code collection component 19, a barcode collection component 20, and a display screen, etc., which are integrated into a chassis through an integrated association design. This design allows the tobacco products to be conveniently placed on a movable trolley when moving, greatly improving the flexibility and portability of the equipment. When in use, only a simple power-saving startup operation is required to quickly enter the working state.

[0133] Photoelectric switch sensors are used to accurately trigger different scanners, including scanners for reading QR codes on cigarette cartons and scanners for reading QR codes on cigarette boxes or individual cigarettes. This design enables the device to efficiently perform association operations between cigarette cartons and cigarette boxes, and between individual cigarette codes and cigarette cartons. Specifically, when a cigarette cartons pass through the manual association device, a cigarette cartons QR code is read, and the reading device reads the QR codes of 10 cigarette boxes at a time, thereby quickly associating cigarette cartons with cigarette boxes. Similarly, in the association operation of individual cigarettes with cigarette cartons, the device reads a single cigarette QR code and reads the QR codes of 50 cigarette cartons at the same time.

[0134] In addition, the host computer program will display the current operation status in real time on the device screen, including the number of QR codes read, the number of successful associations, and other information. This function provides intuitive operation feedback to operators, helping them to better monitor the progress of operations and find problems in a timely manner. At the same time, the manual association device also supports "box condition" manual association operations, that is, the association binding between cigarette packaging levels is completed with the assistance of operators.

[0135] Furthermore, step S36 includes two specific implementation steps of box strip association and / or condition association.

[0136] Box-carton association refers to the information binding and correspondence between a single pack of cigarettes and a carton of cigarettes containing multiple packs of cigarettes. This step is the key to ensuring that information consistency and traceability can be maintained during the production, circulation and final sales of cigarette products. Through box-carton association, we can accurately know which specific packs of cigarettes are contained in each carton of cigarettes, which is of great significance for quality management, product traceability and market regulation.

[0137] Conditional association refers to the information binding and integration of a certain number of cigarette cartons with the cigarette cases containing these cigarette cartons. This link is the key to ensuring the information consistency and queryability of cigarette products in the entire supply chain, from production to sales. Through conditional association, it is possible to clearly track which specific cigarette cartons are contained in each cigarette case, which plays a vital role in inventory management, logistics monitoring, and sales data analysis.

[0138] Specifically, the association between cigarette cartons and cigarette strips is as follows: when a cigarette carton is delivered to the designated code reading area, the barcode scanner is triggered to read the QR code of the cigarette cartons, and the QR code data of the cigarette cartons is cached in the upper computer of the production equipment; when a pack of cigarettes is delivered to the designated code reading area, the barcode scanner is triggered to read the QR code of the pack of cigarettes. After the upper computer receives the code reading data of the two stations corresponding to the cigarette cartons and packs, it will initially summarize and eliminate duplicates of the code reading data of the two stations corresponding to the cigarette cartons and packs, and determine whether the order of the previous and next code scanning is correct based on the code value; if the scanning order is correct, continue Use the barcode scanner to read the QR code of the cigarette box; use the host computer to perform secondary aggregation and de-duplication processing on the received QR code data of the cigarette carton and the cigarette box; based on the secondary aggregation and de-duplication processing results of the cigarette carton and the cigarette box, determine whether there is a missed scan according to the pre-configured association between the number of scanned boxes and the number of scanned strips; if there is no missed scan, use the host computer to automatically associate the QR code data of the cigarette carton and the cigarette box with the box-strip, and at the same time echo the reading status and number of read codes of this round to the device screen, to assist the operator to complete the current box-strip association operation and automatically perform the next round of box-strip association operation.

[0139] In a specific embodiment, a specific system control principle is adopted, that is, the box-strip association operation is performed in the scanning order of "strip first, then box". The following are the detailed steps of this embodiment:

[0140] When the photoelectric switch sensor at the bottom of the box condition offline manual association device senses that the operator pushes the cigarette carton to the designated code reading area, it will trigger the scanner (strip) to read the QR code of the cigarette carton. Once the code reading is successful, the host computer program will immediately cache the QR code data of the code reading station (strip), and then wait for the QR code reading data of the box cigarette code reading station.

[0141] Next, when the operator pushes the cigarette pack to the designated code reading area, the scanner (box) will be triggered to read the QR code of the cigarette pack. After the host computer receives the code reading data from the two stations, it will summarize and remove duplicates from the code reading data of the two stations to ensure the accuracy and uniqueness of the data. At the same time, based on the read code value, the host computer will determine whether the operator's code scanning order is correct to ensure the standardization of the operation process.

[0142] After the barcode is read successfully, the operator continues to scan the QR code of the cigarette pack. Similarly, the photoelectric switch triggers the code reading operation, and the host computer is responsible for data aggregation and duplicate elimination. Then, according to the number of boxes scanned at a time currently configured by the operator (for example, 10 codes), the host computer will calculate and determine whether there is any missed scan.

[0143] When all the cigarette pack codes are read successfully, the host computer will automatically associate the previously read barcodes and the box code read this time with the "box-strip" operation. This means that the system will establish a corresponding relationship between the cigarette cartons and the cigarette packs for subsequent tracking and management. At the same time, the host computer will also echo the status and number of codes read on the device screen, providing intuitive feedback and auxiliary information for the operator to help them better complete the current box-strip association operation and automatically enter the next round of box-strip association operation process.

[0144] The conditional association is as follows: when a cigarette carton is delivered to the designated code reading area, the barcode scanner is triggered to read the QR code of the cigarette carton, and the QR code data of the cigarette carton is cached in the upper computer of the production equipment; when a cigarette package is delivered to the designated code reading area, the barcode scanner is triggered to read the QR code of the cigarette package. After the upper computer receives the code reading data of the two stations corresponding to the cigarette carton and the cigarette package, the code reading data of the two stations corresponding to the cigarette carton and the cigarette package are initially summarized and deduplicated, and the code value is used to determine whether the scanning order is correct; if the scanning order is correct, the scanner is continued to be used. The code reader reads the QR code of the cigarette package; the host computer performs secondary aggregation and de-duplication processing on the received QR code data of the cigarette carton and the cigarette package; based on the secondary aggregation and de-duplication processing results of the cigarette carton and the cigarette package, it is judged whether there is a missed scan according to the pre-configured association between the number of scanned carton and the number of scanned packages; if there is no missed scan, the host computer automatically performs conditional association on the QR code data of the cigarette carton and the cigarette package, and at the same time, the reading status and number of codes read in this round are echoed to the device screen, so as to assist the operator to complete the current conditional association operation and automatically perform the next round of conditional association operation.

[0145] In another specific embodiment, the conditional association relationship is 1 item corresponds to 50 items, and its operating principle is similar to the box item association. The following are the detailed steps of this embodiment:

[0146] When a cigarette carton is delivered to the designated code reading area, the scanner will be triggered to read the QR code. Once the code is read successfully, the upper computer of the production equipment will immediately cache the QR code data of the cigarette carton and wait for the subsequent code reading data of the cigarette carton.

[0147] Afterwards, when the cigarette case is delivered to the designated code reading area, the scanner will also be triggered to read the QR code. After receiving the code reading data from the two stations of the cigarette carton and the cigarette case, the host computer will perform the initial aggregation and duplicate elimination to ensure the accuracy and uniqueness of the data. At the same time, based on the read code value, the host computer will determine whether the code scanning sequence is correct, thereby ensuring the standardization of the operation process.

[0148] If the scanning sequence is correct, the QR code of the cigarette case will continue to be read, and the host computer will perform secondary aggregation and deduplication processing on the received QR code data of the cigarette carton and cigarette case. This step is to further ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data.

[0149] On this basis, the pre-configured correlation between the number of scanned strips and the number of scanned items (in this example, 1 item corresponds to 50 strips) is used to determine whether there is a missed scan. This is achieved by comparing the number of strips and items after the secondary summary.

[0150] If it is confirmed that there is no missed scan, the upper computer will automatically conditionally associate the QR code data of the cigarette carton with the QR code data of the cigarette case. This means that the system will establish a corresponding relationship between the cigarette carton and the cigarette case, which is convenient for subsequent tracking and management.

[0151] Finally, the host computer will display the current round of code reading status and the number of codes read on the device screen, providing intuitive feedback and auxiliary information for the operator. This helps the operator to better monitor and complete the current conditional association operation, and automatically enter the next round of conditional association operation process after completion.

[0152] Furthermore, a territorial code plan is generated according to the export cigarette plan, and the territorial code plan is automatically synchronized to the production equipment, guiding the production equipment to code, automatically box and automatically page cigarette products of different cigarette packaging levels according to the received territorial data, and automatically perform the association and binding operations between cigarette products of different cigarette packaging levels based on the territorial code read in real time. It also includes: when the cigarette pieces are produced and transported to the designated pallet, the receiving operator scans the cigarette piece code entered by the manual operation unit; after all the cigarette pieces on the pallet are placed and the manual entry is completed, the generation and printing process of the pallet code of the manual operation unit is automatically triggered; the automatically generated pallet code is associated with all the entered cigarette piece codes in the pallet; the operator is provided with the function or guidance of attaching the printed pallet code to the corresponding pallet, thereby completing the association operation between the cigarette pieces and the pallet, so that the goods meet the warehousing conditions.

[0153] Specifically, the process of associating cigarette pieces and pallets is as follows: when the cigarette pieces are produced and transported to the designated pallet, the operator operates the manual operation unit to scan the cigarette piece code for entry. After all cigarette pieces on the pallet are placed and the manual entry is completed, the manual operation unit will automatically generate and print out the pallet code, and at the same time associate all the entered cigarette piece codes in the pallet with the pallet code. The operator affixes the pallet code to the pallet, completes the association between pieces and pallets, and meets the storage conditions.

[0154] S4. Intelligently store, scan and track cigarette products for export until they arrive at the destination port and receive confirmation of receipt.

[0155] refer to Figure 7 The solution proposed by the present invention also includes a detailed process of intelligent storage, code scanning and delivery tracking of cigarette products to be exported. In the export cigarette warehouse link, cigarette products are intelligently stored and managed to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of inventory. Subsequently, through the code scanning and delivery operation, the delivery information of each cigarette product is accurately recorded, which is convenient for subsequent tracking and management.

[0156] When cigarette products arrive at the customs declaration port, the arrival date is recorded and the corresponding customs declaration procedures are carried out. After customs declaration is completed, cigarette products are shipped from the customs declaration port. At this time, the shipping date is recorded again to ensure the consistency and integrity of logistics information. During the transportation of cigarette products to the destination port, shipment tracking is continuously carried out to ensure the safety and timely arrival of the products.

[0157] When the cigarette products finally arrive at the destination port and are received, the key logistics information confirmation including the arrival date at the customs declaration port, the shipment date at the customs declaration port, and the receipt date at the destination port is received. The confirmation of these key information not only marks the successful completion of the logistics process, but also provides an important basis for the subsequent summary and analysis of logistics-related data.

[0158] By summarizing and analyzing these logistics-related data, companies can gain a deeper understanding of the export logistics of cigarette products, identify potential problems and optimization points, and further improve logistics efficiency and customer satisfaction. The comprehensiveness and refined management of this process ensures that every link of cigarette products from export to receipt is effectively monitored and guaranteed.

[0159] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic tracing system for exported cigarettes, comprising:

[0160] The plan receiving module is used to submit the export cigarette demand plan to the approval department system and receive the export cigarette plan issued by the approval department system after verification.

[0161] The territorial code application module is used to connect with the corresponding agent's code issuing agency according to the export cigarette plan, and automatically apply for the territorial code data corresponding to the cigarette packaging level.

[0162] The processing and association module is used to generate a territorial code plan based on the export cigarette plan, automatically synchronize the territorial code plan to the production equipment, guide the production equipment to code, automatically box and paginate cigarette products at different cigarette packaging levels, and automatically perform association and binding operations between cigarette products at different cigarette packaging levels based on the territorial codes read in real time.

[0163] The export management module is used for intelligent storage, code scanning and shipment tracking of cigarette products to be exported until the cigarette products arrive at the destination port and receive confirmation of receipt.

[0164] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic tracing device for export cigarettes, comprising: an intermediate layer, used to interact with the approval department system and the execution layer respectively, and execute the electronic tracing method for export cigarettes as described above; an execution layer, used to code, box and page cigarette products under the guidance of the intermediate layer according to the territorial code plan synchronized with the intermediate layer, and perform associated binding operations; and a database, used to store the export cigarette demand plan, the approved export cigarette plan, the territorial code plan and the traceability information of the cigarette products, wherein the traceability information includes the production information, storage information, territorial code data, outbound information, shipment tracking information and receipt confirmation information of the cigarette products.

[0165] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable medium on which computer-executable instructions are stored. When the executable instructions are executed by a processor, the electronic tracing method for exported cigarettes as described above is implemented.

[0166] When these instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic traceability method for exported cigarettes described above can be implemented. This design not only improves the portability and convenience of the traceability method, but also further strengthens the transparency and traceability of cigarette products throughout the supply chain. Through this computer-readable medium, companies can more efficiently manage and monitor the circulation of cigarettes to ensure product quality and safety.

[0167] The present invention provides a comprehensive solution for electronic traceability of exported cigarettes, covering methods, systems, equipment and media. The solution integrates the electronic traceability system of exported cigarettes at the business level, related servers, and offline coding technology at the production level of cigarette factories. In particular, the corresponding software and hardware systems are designed for the association between "box strips" and "conditions", and are equipped with necessary servers and network facilities. In addition, the solution also takes into account the tax invoice integrated machine, the international Internet connection of the exporting country, foreign data storage, foreign logistics warehousing software and foreign anti-tampering equipment, thus forming a complete and efficient traceability system.

[0168] The operation process of the entire traceability system is as follows: Figure 7As shown. First, the middle layer deployed in the provincial industrial company submits the annual and quarterly plan requirements, and the planning department formulates the production plan for export cigarettes and cigars based on these requirements. After approval and verification by the State Administration of Taxation, the plan is issued to the middle layer of the provincial industrial company. The middle layer receives the plan and decomposes the local code quota, and then issues the local code. When cigarette products are exported abroad, the corresponding code package is applied for according to the specific requirements of the destination market. The middle layer delegates the code package to the execution layer deployed in the production enterprise, so that the execution layer can laser code the formed box cigarettes or unpackaged box skins and strip skins according to the production plan. After completing the coding work of box cigarettes, strip cigarettes, and piece cigarettes, the three specifications of products are manually associated with each other according to the assigned QR code information to ensure that each link can be traced, so as to successfully complete the production task.

[0169] In the production process of cigarette products, the present invention requires printing and associating exclusive traceability codes on the outer packaging of cigarette boxes, strips, and pieces. To this end, the installation of hardware and software such as laser coding machines, automatic paging devices, and four-code association equipment will be implemented, while combining manual offline coding and associated manual operations to ensure the accuracy of traceability. In addition, the present invention also conducts data docking with code issuing agencies or distributors outside the country of origin to ensure that the traceability code data at all levels of "boxes, strips, and pieces" are accurate, thereby meeting the printing and association requirements of traceability codes for export cigarette products, and providing solid protection for the production and export process of export cigarettes.
