Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of warehouse management, and in particular to a store floor plan rapid display management system. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional warehouse management model, core decision-making and operation processes are overly dependent on manual experience. Managers rely solely on subjective assumptions when placing goods, and lack systematic planning. When staff actually place goods, they usually do not fully consider key factors such as the frequency of goods circulation and relevance.

[0003] In terms of logistics route optimization, there has long been a lack of effective methods and tools. The traditional operation method can only rely on a large number of manpower to repeatedly try different routes for placing and transporting goods. The staff needs to spend a long time on trial and error and adjustment. However, even with so much effort, the final effect is often difficult to achieve as expected.

[0004] The unreasonable placement of goods and the poor logistics routes have brought great troubles to the picking process. When performing picking tasks, pickers have to spend a lot of time shuttling back and forth in the warehouse, struggling to find the target goods, which consumes a lot of their energy. At the same time, due to the lack of effective analysis methods for the frequency of picking goods, warehouse managers cannot accurately identify high-frequency picking goods. Since they cannot be identified, it is naturally impossible to place such goods in the warehouse in the best location that is easy to access and can improve picking efficiency. This situation undoubtedly further exacerbates the problem of low picking efficiency.

[0005] The low efficiency of picking and the congestion of logistics routes have triggered a series of chain reactions. The walking distance of pickers in the warehouse has increased significantly, and the use time of handling equipment has been significantly extended due to frequent start-stop and long-term continuous operation. This not only leads to an increase in labor costs due to increased working hours, but also the handling equipment is overused and wears out faster, and the maintenance cost increases accordingly. Ultimately, the overall logistics cost has increased significantly, which has a serious negative impact on the economic benefits and operational efficiency of warehouse management. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a store floor plan rapid display management system to solve the problem that in the existing warehouse management process, the layout of goods cannot be scientifically optimized according to the actual operating conditions, resulting in difficulty in improving warehouse management efficiency and benefits.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the inventor provides a store floor plan rapid display management system, which includes: A visualization module is used to display a store floor plan; the store floor plan includes roads, shelves, and goods on the shelves; the road grade, shelf grade, and product grade are updated and displayed in real time according to the grade evaluation module; The information collection module is used to monitor the data of the goods on several shelves in the store to obtain the parameter information of the goods; The data interaction module is used to receive the parameter information of the goods from the information collection module in real time, analyze and organize it, and transmit it to the grade evaluation module; The grade evaluation module adjusts the road grade, shelf grade and product grade; transmits the road grade, shelf grade and product grade to the visualization module, and drives the visualization module to update the product grade in real time; the product grade is adjusted based on the parameter information of the product transmitted by the data interaction module; the product grade is adjusted according to the picking frequency in the parameter information of the product; The data analysis module is used to evaluate whether the product grade of each product is consistent with the road grade and the shelf grade. If not, a reference shelf is provided for the product.

[0008] Furthermore, providing a reference shelf for the goods is displayed in a visualization module.

[0009] Furthermore, in the visualization module, road levels, shelf levels and product levels are displayed using different colors.

[0010] Furthermore, the parameter information of the goods includes name, size, inventory quantity, and picking frequency.

[0011] Further, in the grade assessment module, the adjustment of the road grade includes the following steps: Get the data parameters of the store floor plan; According to the road size data in the data parameters of the store floor plan, the road is divided into main roads and branch roads, where the road grade of the main road is greater than that of the branch road; The main roads and branch roads are arranged in road grades according to the frequency of traffic.

[0012] Further, in the grade evaluation module, the shelf grade is adjusted according to the road grade.

[0013] Furthermore, the data interaction module updates and displays product parameter information of the products in real time.

[0014] Different from the existing technology, the above technical solution mainly uses the grade evaluation module to dynamically adjust the road grade, shelf grade, and product grade, combined with the intuitive display of the visualization module, so as to adjust the placement of goods based on this information and optimize the placement of goods. For example, high-grade goods are placed on high-grade shelves and close to high-grade roads, which shortens the picking time, improves the picking efficiency, reduces logistics costs, and improves the overall efficiency and benefits of warehouse management.

[0027] See also Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a store floor plan rapid display management system is designed to solve the problem that it is difficult to accurately obtain the parameter information of goods in the previous warehouse management process, and it is impossible to scientifically optimize the layout of goods according to the actual operation situation, which makes it difficult to improve the efficiency and benefits of warehouse management. It mainly uses the grade evaluation module to dynamically adjust the road grade, shelf grade, and product grade, combined with the intuitive display of the visualization module, so as to adjust the goods based on this information and optimize the placement of goods, such as placing high-grade goods on high-grade shelves and close to high-grade roads, shortening the picking time, improving the picking efficiency, reducing logistics costs, and improving the overall efficiency and benefits of warehouse management.

[0028] The following provides an implementation of a store floor plan rapid display management system, which includes: A visualization module is used to display a store floor plan; the store floor plan includes roads, shelves, and goods on the shelves; the road grade, shelf grade, and product grade are updated and displayed in real time according to the grade evaluation module; The information collection module is used to monitor the data of the goods on several shelves in the store to obtain the parameter information of the goods; The data interaction module is used to receive the parameter information of the goods from the information collection module in real time, analyze and organize it, and transmit it to the grade evaluation module; The grade assessment module adjusts the road grade, shelf grade and product grade; transmits the road grade, shelf grade and product grade to the visualization module, and drives the visualization module to update the product grade in real time.

[0029] The above-mentioned visualization module presents the store floor plan in an intuitive image. It is preferred that the store floor plan is an editable store floor plan so that the store floor plan can be adjusted at any time according to the actual adjustment of the store. The above-mentioned information collection module is used for all-round data monitoring of the goods on the shelf to obtain the parameter information of the goods. The parameter information of the goods may include but is not limited to the name, size, inventory quantity, picking frequency, etc. It can use IoT devices, such as weight sensors, to monitor the weight changes of the goods in real time, so as to accurately infer the changes in the inventory quantity of the goods, etc., and provide the latest and most accurate data support for the efficient operation of the entire system. The above-mentioned data interaction module (the data collected by the information collection module is usually presented in a certain specific coding form, which is difficult for other modules to directly understand and use) is used to convert the data received by the collection module into a format that can be recognized and processed by other modules for transmission to other modules.

[0030] In the implementation process of the above-mentioned embodiments, the road grade, shelf grade, and product grade are dynamically adjusted by the grade evaluation module, combined with the intuitive display of the visualization module, so as to adjust the goods based on this information and optimize the placement of the goods. When the location where the goods are placed does not match the road grade and shelf grade, find the road grade and shelf grade that match the grade of the goods, and place the goods on the matching shelves. In some embodiments, it is also necessary to screen out shelves that can be placed from the shelves that match the shelf grade according to the size in the parameter information of the goods to ensure that the shelves can accommodate the goods. Of course, it is also possible to give priority to placing goods of the same or similar grades and used in conjunction on the same shelf or adjacent shelves in order to improve picking efficiency.

[0031] In the above visualization module, the road level, shelf level and product level can be displayed by adding specific marks, such as different quantities or different color marks (such as asterisks), or directly using different colors, that is, directly using different colors of roads, shelves and products for intuitive presentation. By adding specific marks, administrators can quickly identify the road level, shelf level and product level at a glance when browsing the store floor plan, without spending time to interpret complex text descriptions or digital codes, which greatly improves the efficiency of information acquisition. Through the visual level presentation, the current distribution of roads, shelves and product levels can be clearly seen. For example, it is found that some high-level goods are placed in low-level shelf areas, and the surrounding road levels are also low, resulting in low picking efficiency. Based on this, managers can quickly make decisions to transfer these goods to more suitable locations, optimize the overall layout of the store, and improve operational efficiency.

[0032] In order to improve the automation and intelligence level of the system, human intervention is reduced and the probability of human adjustment errors is reduced. In some embodiments, a data analysis module is also included, which is used to evaluate whether the product grade of each product is consistent with the road grade and shelf grade. If not, a reference shelf is provided for the product.

[0033] The above evaluation of whether the product grade of each product is consistent with the road grade and shelf grade is to compare the product grade of each product with the current road grade and shelf grade to determine whether the product grade is consistent with the road grade and shelf grade. If not, the product is a product that needs to be adjusted. For the products that need to be adjusted, find the shelves that meet the road grade and shelf grade that match the product grade, and combine the product conditions on the matching shelves (the product grade of the products on the matching shelves does not match the shelf grade, there are no products on the matching shelves, or there is enough remaining space on the shelves to place the products), and then obtain the reference shelves. The above provision of reference shelves for the products can be by generating reports, charts and / or displaying them in a visualization module. Taking the display in the visualization module as an example, the shelves where the products can be placed can be marked in the visualization module.

[0034] Usually, the width of roads connecting main areas with large traffic flow in physical stores is relatively wide, and vice versa. Therefore, the width of the road setting can reflect the road grade in the physical store. For this reason, in the above-mentioned grade evaluation module, the adjustment of the road grade may include the following steps: Get the data parameters of the store floor plan; According to the road size data in the data parameters of the store floor plan, the road is divided into main roads and branch roads, where the road grade of the main road is greater than that of the branch road; The main roads and branch roads are arranged in road grades according to the frequency of traffic.

[0035] The above-mentioned store floor plan not only presents the graphic appearance, but also has detailed attributes and size information of each graphic element. The data parameters of the store floor plan refer to the graphic element data in all layers of the store floor plan. The graphic elements include roads, shelves, etc.; taking roads as an example, they include length, width and other dimensions. The above-mentioned road size data in the data parameters of the store floor plan are divided into main roads and branch roads, which means that the roads with larger widths are regarded as main roads, such as roads with 4-6 meters are regarded as main roads. Roads with smaller widths are regarded as branch roads, such as roads with 2-4 meters are regarded as branch roads.

[0036] In the above-mentioned ranking of the main roads and branch roads according to the frequency of traffic, the above-mentioned frequency of traffic refers to the number of times the road is passed when picking goods, which is an indicator used to measure the traffic flow of the road, that is, the road with a higher frequency of traffic is rated as a higher level. For example, when several main roads are ranked, the main roads connecting the entrance and exit, or the main roads where multiple main roads intersect, are ranked higher than general main roads. For example, when several branch roads are ranked, the branch roads connecting the main roads or the intersection of multiple branch roads are ranked higher than general branch roads. On the contrary, those branch roads that are rarely used by pickers may be connected to the storage area of ​​​​uncommon goods, or serve as backup channels, and their levels are lower. That is, the road levels are ranked as follows: the main road connecting the entrance and exit or the main road where multiple main roads intersect> general main roads> branch roads connecting the main roads or the intersection of multiple branch roads> general branch roads> storage areas for uncommon goods or branch roads used as backup channels.

[0037] Similarly, in the above-mentioned grade assessment module, the shelf grade is adjusted according to the road grade. The above-mentioned adjustment of the shelf grade according to the road grade means that the shelf grade of the shelf on the road side (one side or both sides) corresponds to the road grade. Associating the shelf grade with the road grade allows the layout of the goods to match the traffic efficiency. Even if the shelves around the high-grade roads are high-grade shelves, it can reduce the walking distance and time of the pickers and improve the overall operational efficiency. For example, next to the main road connecting the entrance and exit, shelves of best-selling goods are placed to enable rapid shipment; and shelves of infrequently used goods are arranged next to low-grade roads, which will not affect the main logistics channels.

[0038] In the above-mentioned grade evaluation module, the grade of the goods is adjusted based on the parameter information of the goods transmitted by the data interaction module. The parameter information of the above-mentioned goods may be sales volume, picking frequency, etc. Specifically, it may be the sales volume, picking frequency, etc. of the previous month, or the sales volume, picking frequency, etc. of the previous quarter, or the sales volume, picking frequency, etc. of last year, or the sales volume, picking frequency, etc. for certain holidays. Taking the picking frequency as an example, the grade of the goods is adjusted according to the picking frequency in the parameter information of the goods. The specific steps include the following: First, the goods on the shelves are graded according to the picking frequency. The higher the picking frequency, the higher the grade of the goods. The goods are placed on shelves that match the grade of the goods according to the grade of the goods. For example, high-grade goods are concentrated on shelves next to the main roads. Since high-grade goods are easier to pick and sell, the goods on the shelves are updated faster, and the shelf turnover rate is improved. When picking tasks, pickers do not need to walk or search for a long time in the warehouse, and can quickly find the required goods along the main roads, which greatly shortens the picking path and reduces the picking time, so that stores can process orders faster. For example, the top 20% of sales are placed on shelves next to the main roads; the bottom 20% of sales are placed on shelves next to the branch roads connecting the storage area for less frequently used goods.

[0039] Of course, in order to make the information displayed by the visualization module more comprehensive, in some embodiments, the visualization module updates and displays the product parameter information of the goods in real time according to the data interaction module. At this time, the data interaction module receives the data of the information acquisition module in real time, performs preliminary analysis and sorting, converts it into a format that the visualization module can recognize and process, and transmits it to the visualization module, driving the visualization module to update the product parameter information in real time. The visualization module updates and displays the product parameter information of the goods in real time, so that the administrator can understand the store storage management in more detail. For example, the inventory status of the goods in the store, so as to issue an early warning of insufficient inventory based on the inventory quantity, prompting the administrator to replenish the goods in time.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. All technical solutions generated by replacing or modifying equivalent structures or equivalent processes based on the essential concept of this application using the contents recorded in the specification and drawings of this application, as well as directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
