[0012] The updated device monitoring map is displayed, comprising:

[0013] The updated device monitoring map is displayed in the browser page.

[0014] Beneficial effects: in the embodiment of the application, the user edits the map of the stereoscopic warehouse device in the browser page and uses the map to draw the device monitoring map, and the updated device monitoring map is displayed in the browser page, so that only one deployment of the website is required to realize the effect of multiple users using the browser in a large stereoscopic warehouse system.

[0054] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0055] At present, the operation of WCS devices is often monitored by using video monitoring, but there are many stereoscopic warehouse devices in the logistics industry, and video monitoring cannot display the running states of all devices on a limited screen interface, so that some problematic devices cannot be observed in time, and cannot be maintained in time, thereby affecting the working efficiency of the devices.

[0056] In addition, the WCS device monitoring map based on the form software is a map application implemented in a form application program and used for monitoring and managing WCS devices in real time, but this method can only be displayed on a single computer. The stereoscopic warehouse in the logistics industry is often very large, and there is a need to display the device monitoring map on multiple computers, and the device monitoring map often needs to be displayed on a webpage.

[0057] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a stereoscopic warehouse device monitoring method, which draws a device monitoring map by using a corresponding map of a physical stereoscopic warehouse device, and monitors the current state signal of the stereoscopic warehouse device in real time, and then adjusts the shape, position and color of the corresponding map for representing the working state of the device, so as to display the running states of all stereoscopic warehouse devices, facilitate real-time viewing by relevant staff, facilitate timely discovery of the running problems of the devices and maintenance, and improve the working efficiency of the devices and user experience.

[0058] According to the embodiments of the present application, a stereoscopic warehouse device monitoring method embodiment is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a group of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0059] In the present embodiment, a stereoscopic warehouse device monitoring method is provided, which can be used for a computer device for device monitoring, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. Figure 1 The flowchart of the stereoscopic warehouse device monitoring method according to the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, which includes the following steps: Figure 1

[0060] In step S101, a device monitoring map is obtained, and the device monitoring map includes a map corresponding to each type of stereoscopic warehouse device. The stereoscopic warehouse device includes a stacker, a conveying line and a warehouse area.​

[0061] Specifically, the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is a general term for a series of equipment used in an automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS), which is a warehouse that uses high-level shelves to store goods and uses computer control and automated equipment for goods storage and retrieval operations. These stereoscopic warehouse equipment can make full use of the space of the warehouse, improve the storage and handling efficiency of the goods, and realize the automation and intelligentization of the warehousing operation. Exemplarily, the stereoscopic warehouse equipment can include a stacker, a conveying line, and a warehouse area, but the equipment used by the warehouse can be adjusted according to the actual scene.

[0062] In step S102, in response to the current state signal sent by the stereoscopic warehouse equipment, the attribute information of the corresponding map is adjusted according to the current state signal to obtain an updated equipment monitoring map; wherein the attribute information includes the shape of the map, the position of the map, and / or the color of the map representing the working state of the equipment.

[0063] Specifically, the communication mode between the stereoscopic warehouse equipment and the monitoring equipment can be a network protocol (such as TCP, UDP, etc.) or a serial communication (such as RS232, RS485, etc.), if it is network communication, a socket library can be used to create a socket to establish a connection between the monitoring equipment and the stereoscopic warehouse equipment. The stereoscopic warehouse equipment sends a state signal according to the agreed format, and the monitoring equipment parses the state signal according to the corresponding format to obtain the working state, position, and other key information of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment.

[0064] Further, the stereoscopic warehouse equipment and the corresponding map on the equipment monitoring map have an association relationship, so that the map to be adjusted can be quickly located according to the received state signal. All the state signals of the received devices are traversed, the corresponding map object is found according to the device identifier, and then the shape, position, and color of the map are adjusted according to the parsed key information, wherein the color of the map is used to represent the working state of the equipment, for example, if the equipment is running normally, it can display green, if it fails, it can display red, etc.

[0065] In step S103, the updated equipment monitoring map is displayed to monitor the stereoscopic warehouse equipment.

[0066] Specifically, the equipment monitoring map is updated in real time with the state signal of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment, so that as soon as the state of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment changes, the corresponding map of the equipment monitoring map will change accordingly. The relevant staff can know the current state of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment by checking the shape, position, and color of the map in the equipment monitoring map.

[0067] The stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method provided in the embodiment can show the running states of all stereoscopic warehouse equipment, facilitate relevant staff to check in real time, enable the relevant personnel to find the running problems of the equipment in time and perform maintenance, and improve the equipment working efficiency and user experience.

[0068] In the embodiment, a stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method is provided, which can be used for a computer device for performing equipment monitoring, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and the like. Figure 2 The stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in a flowchart as shown in Figure 2 The flowchart includes the following steps:

[0069] In step S201, a device monitoring map is acquired, and the device monitoring map includes a map corresponding to each type of stereoscopic warehouse equipment; wherein the stereoscopic warehouse equipment includes a stacker, a conveying line, and a warehouse area.

[0070] Specifically, in response to an interactive instruction input by a user through a browser page, the map corresponding to each type of stereoscopic warehouse equipment and the attribute information of the map are configured, and a mapping relationship between the attribute information of the map and the state signal of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment is established, thereby generating the device monitoring map.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, for the stereoscopic warehouse equipment, a map needs to be drawn for the stacker, the conveying line, and the warehouse area respectively. The stacker map display has the following requirements: the stacker position needs to be displayed according to the track range of the walking shaft of the stacker and the current walking shaft; the color of the map needs to be changed according to the state signal of the stacker, such as displaying red when an alarm occurs and displaying dark when there is goods. The conveying line map display has the following requirements: the map needs to have an arrow to indicate the transportation direction of the conveying line; the color of the map needs to be changed according to the state signal of the conveying line, such as displaying red when an alarm occurs and displaying dark when there is goods. The warehouse area map only needs to display the number text of the inventory.

[0072] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 3As shown in the figure, for the stacker, five markups need to be specified for the stacker map: 1) the markup with tagName as path and selector as body, used to display the stacker track; 2) the markup with tagName as path and selector as arrowStart, used to display the start position of the stacker track; 3) the markup with tagName as path and selector as arrowEnd, used to display the end arrow of the stacker track; 4) the markup with tagName as text and selector as label, used to display the stacker number; and 4) the markup with tagName as path and selector as srm, used to display the position of the stacker device itself.

[0073] Exemplarily, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 for the conveying line map, three markups need to be specified: 1) the markup with tagName as rect and selector as body, used to display the rectangular shape of the conveying line itself; 2) the markup with tagName as path and selector as arrow, used to display the conveying line direction arrow; and 3) the markup with tagName as text and selector as label, used to display the conveying line number.

[0074] Exemplarily, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 for the warehouse area map, two markups need to be specified: 1) the markup with tagName as rect and selector as body, used to display the rectangular shape of the warehouse area itself; and 2) the markup with tagName as text and selector as label, used to display the warehouse area number.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the user edits the map of the three-dimensional warehouse device in the browser page and draws the device monitoring map using the map, and displays the updated device monitoring map in the browser page, so that only one deployment of the website is needed to realize the effect of using the browser by multiple users, and multiple users can view the device running state in the huge three-dimensional warehouse system.

[0076] In step S202, in response to the current state signal sent by the three-dimensional warehouse device, the attribute information of the corresponding map is adjusted according to the current state signal, and an updated device monitoring map is obtained; wherein the attribute information includes map shape, map position and / or map color used to represent the working state of the device.

[0077] Specifically, the above step S202 includes:

[0078] In step S2021, the current walking axis, the walking axis signal value and the first working state signal of the stacker are obtained according to the current state signal of the stacker.

[0079] Specifically, for the stacker, in order to display the position of the stacker according to the track range of the walking axis and the current walking axis, the track range of the current walking axis, the start value of the walking axis and the end value of the walking axis need to be specified in the attribute information of the stacker map. Exemplarily, the working state of the stacker can include a cargo state, a fault state and the like, and when the working state of the stacker changes, the corresponding working state signal is sent.

[0080] In step S2022, the relative position of the stacker in the current walking axis is calculated according to the walking axis signal value and the track range of the current walking axis, and the first color corresponding to the first working state signal is determined.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the attribute information of the stacker map further includes a walking axis overflow attribute; and the step S2022 includes:

[0082] In step a1, the start value of the walking axis and the end value of the walking axis are obtained according to the track range of the current walking axis.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving track of the stacker can be represented by a plurality of straight walking axes, each of which corresponds to a coordinate value interval, the track start point corresponds to the start value of the walking axis, the track end point corresponds to the end value of the walking axis, and the start value of the walking axis is less than the end value of the walking axis.

[0084] In step a2, the ratio between the difference value and the end value of the walking axis is calculated according to the difference between the walking axis signal value and the start value of the walking axis, and whether the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis is determined according to the ratio.

[0085] Specifically, the walking axis signal value represents the current position of the stacker, and the ratio X of the current position of the stacker to the track range of the walking axis is (walking axis signal value-start value of walking axis) / end value of walking axis.

[0086] In step a3, if the stacker exceeds the track range of the current walking axis, and the walking axis overflow attribute indicates that the ratio is normalized, the relative position of the stacker is obtained according to the normalized ratio.

[0087] Specifically, the travel axis signal value of some stacker cranes when placing goods onto the conveyor line may not fall between the start and end values ​​of the travel axis. Therefore, a travel axis overflow attribute needs to be added to determine whether to ignore overflow. If the ratio X > 1 or X < 0, it indicates that the stacker crane's current position exceeds the track range of the current travel axis. In this case, it is necessary to determine whether standardization is required based on the travel axis overflow attribute. If so, X = 1 or X = 0. That is, if the stacker crane moves out of the track range of the current travel axis, it is considered that the stacker crane has reached the end or start point of the current travel axis. This allows for smoothing of the stacker crane texture, improving its aesthetics and visual presentation.

[0088] Step a4: If the stacker crane has not exceeded the track range of the current travel axis, the ratio is used as the relative position.

[0089] Specifically, if 0 ≤ X ≤ 1, it means the stacker crane has not exceeded the track range of the current traveling axis. See again... Figure 3 Based on the obtained ratio, the stacker crane map is displayed at the corresponding proportional position on the track.

[0090] In this embodiment, the relative position of the stacker crane texture to the travel axis texture is determined by calculating the ratio of the track signal value to the track range of the current travel axis. This facilitates adjusting the stacker crane texture to the corresponding proportional position of the current travel axis, allowing users to intuitively view the stacker crane's loading progress. Furthermore, when the stacker crane exceeds the track range of the current travel axis and the travel axis overflow attribute indicates that standardization is required, the stacker crane texture is directly adjusted to the end or start point of the current travel axis. This smooths the stacker crane texture, improving its aesthetics and visual presentation.

[0091] In some optional implementations, the first working state signal is an array. Each array element in the first working state signal is traversed, and it is checked whether the array conforms to a preset coloring rule. The array element includes the state signal name and the state signal value. If the array conforms to the preset coloring rule, the first color corresponding to the first working state signal is obtained according to the preset coloring rule.

[0092] Specifically, in order to change the fill color of the map according to the electrical signal value, a relatively complex color rule attribute is needed, which is convenient for the developer to customize the color rule, and the color rule can also be represented by an array: colorRule: [string, bool, string, string], wherein the first string element can be used to represent the state signal name; the bool element is a judgment condition, and when the value is true, the corresponding color rule can be applied; the second string element can be used to represent the state signal value; and the third string element represents the color of the color. If the array of the working state signal hits the preset color rule (that is, the array elements are matched with the elements of the corresponding color rule one by one), the color set by the color rule is used as the color that needs to be adjusted for the map of the stacker.

[0093] In the embodiment, the array elements corresponding to the first working state signal are compared with the array elements of the preset color rule one by one to determine whether the first working state signal hits the preset color rule, and if so, the color set by the color rule is used as the first color that needs to be adjusted for the map of the stacker. In this way, the map color of the stacker is consistent with and corresponds to the actual working state of the stacker, and the user can determine the working state of the stacker through the map color, thereby improving the device monitoring efficiency.

[0094] In step S2023, the map shape of the current walking shaft map is adjusted by using the track range, the map position of the stacker map in the current walking shaft map is adjusted by using the relative position, and the map color of the stacker map is adjusted to the first color, to obtain an updated device monitoring map.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the track range of the current walking shaft is determined, the map shape of the current walking shaft is adjusted, the starting point and the ending point of the current travel of the stacker are intuitively presented on the current walking shaft map, the stacker map is adjusted to the corresponding proportional position of the current walking shaft according to the relative position of the stacker relative to the current walking shaft, so that the user can intuitively view the current travel progress of the stacker. In addition, the map color is adjusted by using the color corresponding to the working state, so that the user can determine the working state of the stacker through the map color, thereby improving the device monitoring efficiency.

[0096] In some optional embodiments, when the stereoscopic warehouse device is a conveying line, the conveying line direction, the second working state signal and the second color corresponding to the second working state signal are obtained according to the current state signal of the conveying line. Then, the indication direction of the conveying line map is adjusted by using the conveying line direction, and the map color of the conveying line map is adjusted to the second color, to obtain an updated device monitoring map. The specific implementation process can be referred to the adjustment process of the stacker described above, and will not be described here.

[0097] Step S203, display the updated device monitoring map to monitor the stereoscopic warehouse equipment.

[0098] Specifically, the updated device monitoring map is displayed in the browser page. Based on the mapping color of the stereoscopic warehouse equipment mapping in the device monitoring map, it is detected whether the corresponding stereoscopic warehouse equipment fails, and if the corresponding stereoscopic warehouse equipment fails, an alarm is prompted. Illustratively, if it is detected that the mapping color of a device becomes red, an alarm information is issued to prompt the user to timely repair and ensure the normal operation of the warehouse system.

[0099] The stereoscopic warehouse equipment monitoring method of the application will be described in detail below with reference to a specific application example.

[0100] This application example is based on X6 to build a device monitoring map. X6 is an open source engine for editing graphs based on HTML and SVG under the AntV flag, which provides low-cost customization capabilities and built-in extensions out of the box, facilitating developers to quickly build DAG graphs, ER graphs, flowcharts, blood graphs, and other applications, thereby building a WCS device monitoring map that can be used in a browser by a user.

[0101] The application example mainly includes the following steps:

[0102] Step 1, design a mapping shape for the stereoscopic warehouse equipment.

[0103] Specifically, for the stereoscopic warehouse equipment, a shape needs to be drawn for the stacker, the conveying line, and the warehouse area. For the stacker: the stacker position needs to be displayed according to the walking shaft range and the current walking shaft; the shape color needs to be changed according to the stacker signal, such as displaying red when an alarm occurs and displaying dark when there is cargo. For the conveying line: an arrow needs to be added to indicate the conveying direction of the conveying line; the shape color needs to be changed according to the conveying line signal, such as displaying red when an alarm occurs and displaying dark when there is cargo. For the warehouse area, only the inventory number text needs to be displayed.

[0104] Step 2, set business attribute data for the mapping shape.

[0105] Specifically, for the stacker, in order to display the stacker position according to the walking shaft range and the current walking shaft, the walking shaft range and the walking shaft start value and the walking shaft end value need to be specified in the data attribute. The signal value of the walking shaft of some stackers when putting cargo on the conveying line may not be between the walking shaft start value and the walking shaft end value, so an overflow attribute of whether to ignore overflow needs to be added. In order to change the fill color of the shape according to the electrical signal value, a more complex coloring rule attribute is needed to facilitate developers to customize the coloring rule. Illustratively, the data attribute of the stacker mapping is as follows:

[0106] data:{

[0107] colorRule: [string, bool, string, string][]; / / color rule

[0108] walkTarget: string; / / walk axis signal name

[0109] walkMin: null; / / walk axis minimum value

[0110] walkMax: null; / / walk axis maximum value

[0111] walkIgnoreOverflow: boolean; / / ignore walk axis overflow

[0112] }

[0113] Specifically, for the conveyor line map, in order to change the fill color according to the electrical signal value, a more complex color rule attribute is also needed to facilitate developers to customize the color rule. For example, the data attribute of the conveyor line map is as follows:

[0114] data: {

[0115] colorRule: [string, bool, string, string][]; / / color rule

[0116] }

[0117] Specifically, for the warehouse area, no attribute needs to be specified in the data.

[0118] Step 3: Display the device map of the device monitoring.

[0119] As shown in Figure 6 , the backend pushes the current walk axis signal value of the stacker through websocket. If the walk axis signal value is pushed and not empty / non-numeric, the relative position of the stacker device map is calculated, and it is determined whether the relative position of the stacker device map is overflowed. If it is overflowed and the attribute whether to ignore overflow in the data is not true, the relative position is standardized and the position of the stacker device map is smoothly modified.

[0120] Figure 7The shown is the logic of the stacker map shape coloring rule, the coloring rule is an array array, the data type of each item of the array is [string, bool, string, string], wherein the first string element represents the state signal name; the bool element can only be applied to the corresponding coloring rule when it is true; the second string element represents the state signal value; and the third string element represents the color of coloring.

[0121] Referring again to Figure 7 , the backend pushes the signal name list and the signal value list, if the corresponding state signal hits the coloring rule, each item of the coloring rule array is traversed, the signal name and the signal value of the corresponding state signal are ensured to be one-to-one corresponding to the state signal name and the state signal value of the coloring rule array, the color set by the third string element of the coloring rule is taken as the color that needs to be adjusted for the corresponding map, and coloring is performed.
