Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to a monitoring and management method and system for medicine inventory. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, the complexity of pharmaceutical inventory management is increasing. Traditional inventory management systems mainly rely on manual records and regular inventory checks, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors, resulting in frequent problems of expired drugs or substandard storage conditions. In recent years, with the development of Internet of Things technology and artificial intelligence, more and more companies have begun to try to use sensor networks and data analysis technologies to improve inventory management. However, most existing solutions are limited to a single function, such as only monitoring temperature and humidity or only focusing on changes in inventory quantity, lacking the ability to comprehensively analyze multi-source data and intelligent decision support.

[0003] The existing technology has significant deficiencies in dealing with drug inventory management and expiration date prediction. On the one hand, traditional inventory management systems cannot monitor the specific status of drugs and their storage environment parameters in real time, making it difficult to detect potential risks in a timely manner. On the other hand, existing expiration date prediction methods are usually based on simple regression analysis of historical data, and fail to fully utilize the advantages of advanced algorithms such as federated learning, resulting in low prediction accuracy and difficulty in adapting to the different needs of different warehouses. The present invention deploys multi-source sensors and combines advanced technologies such as graph neural networks, reinforcement learning, and federated learning to achieve comprehensive monitoring and intelligent management of drug inventory status, significantly improving inventory management efficiency and safety.

[0020] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0023] Example 1, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for monitoring and managing drug inventory, comprising the following steps: S1. Deploy multi-source sensors to monitor the status of drug inventory in real time and analyze it to extract key feature information.

[0024] S1.1. Determine the location of the sensor nodes based on the warehouse layout and drug storage area division.

[0025] Specifically, temperature and humidity sensors are evenly distributed at different heights and areas in the warehouse to avoid local environmental deviations, gas sensors are close to volatile medicine storage areas, and optical sensors are installed near medicine packaging lines or shelves to capture the appearance characteristics of medicines.

[0026] S1.2 collects drug inventory, storage environment parameters, physical properties and expiration dates through deployed sensors; denoises, normalizes and timestamps the status of drug inventory; directly obtains the quantity and location information of each drug from the processed drug inventory; measures the temperature and humidity, gas composition and lighting conditions in the storage environment; detects color changes, odor concentration and morphological changes in the physical properties of drugs; and for expiration dates, uses RFID tag technology to automatically read the production date and batch number of each batch of drugs.

[0027] Specifically, denoising is to remove data fluctuations caused by equipment noise, normalization is to convert data from different sources to a unified dimension for subsequent analysis, and timestamp marking is to add precise time information to each record.

[0028] S2. Performing real-time fusion analysis on the extracted key feature information to generate a dynamic inventory status map for each drug includes the following steps: Use graph neural networks to build an association model to identify the association between the number of medicines, storage environment parameters, and physical properties of medicines; define nodes as each medicine and its related attributes (including but not limited to quantity, location, batch information, production date, etc.), and edges represent potential relationships between different attributes (such as the impact of temperature on color change, the impact of humidity on odor concentration, etc.); build a graph structure based on the defined nodes and edges; select a GNN variant that processes heterogeneous graph data, use the constructed graph structure as input, and update the node embedding vector; determine the location coordinates of each storage unit based on the actual layout of the warehouse; associate each updated node embedding vector with its corresponding location coordinates to generate a dynamic inventory status map for each medicine.

[0029] Specifically, the dynamic inventory status map is formed by constructing a three-dimensional space coordinate system based on the node embedding vectors output by the GNN model, combined with warehouse layout information, and using a three-dimensional graphics library (such as Three.js or Unity3D) to convert these vectors into a visual three-dimensional model. For each drug, its position in three-dimensional space is determined by its actual storage location, while attributes such as color and size are dynamically adjusted according to its current state (such as temperature, humidity, remaining validity period, etc.), and interactive functions are added to the three-dimensional view, allowing users to click on any drug to view detailed information, including but not limited to the drug name, quantity, most recent test results, predicted expiration date, etc.

[0030] It should be noted that by real-time fusion analysis of extracted key feature information, managers can quickly understand the inventory status and respond. The dynamic inventory status map provides a visualization tool for warehouse management, which helps to optimize the use of storage space and logistics scheduling, timely monitor the physical properties and expiration dates of drugs, and effectively prevent quality problems caused by improper storage.

[0031] S3. Based on the dynamic inventory status map of each medicine, a reinforcement learning-driven adaptive inventory allocation model is constructed to obtain the optimal inventory allocation and scheduling strategy and update the inventory status, including the following steps: Select a deep Q model that can handle continuous action space as the reinforcement learning algorithm; define the state vector based on the quantity of each medicine in the dynamic inventory state map, the remaining validity period of the medicine, the physical characteristics of the medicine, and the storage environment parameters; define the action vector based on the inventory adjustment decision of each medicine; design a reward function to minimize inventory waste, maximize demand satisfaction rate and reduce risks; collect historical sales data, market demand fluctuations and upstream and downstream information of the supply chain; define simulation scenarios based on the collected data; run the deep Q model in each scenario to explore the environment and perform actions; record the state vector for each action execution result. The deep Q model is used to store the experience tuples, including the state vector, action vector, reward function and new state vector. The experience tuples are stored in the experience replay pool, and samples are regularly extracted from it for training. Based on the trained deep Q model, the remaining time to expiration, storage environment parameters and physical properties of the drugs are prioritized. For high-priority drugs, transfer instructions are generated and sent to the automated equipment to execute the transfer operations. For medium-priority drugs, inventory optimization operations are performed to adjust the storage location and optimize the storage environment. For low-priority drugs, routine inventory management is performed, with regular inspections and recording of inventory status. After the scheduling is completed, the inventory status is updated.

[0032] Furthermore, the simulation scenario is defined as follows: Emergency allocation of medicines with expiration dates approaching: simulate the allocation of medicines with less than 7 days remaining before expiration. Isolation storage of high-risk medicines: simulate the isolation operation of medicines with high-risk risk levels of storage environment parameters. Demand fluctuation scenario: simulate the sudden increase or decrease in market demand.

[0033] Specifically, the priority scoring includes the evaluation of the remaining time to expiration, the evaluation of storage environment parameters, and the evaluation of the physical characteristics of the drug, as follows: For each medicine, the number of days remaining before its expiration date is calculated, and a remaining validity threshold (such as 30 days, 60 days, etc.) is set. Medicines that are about to expire are classified and scored. For example, medicines with a remaining validity period of less than 30 days receive a high priority score.

[0034] Monitor key environmental indicators such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition in the storage area. For areas or medicines that do not meet ideal storage conditions, give corresponding priority scores based on the degree of deviation. For example, medicines with temperatures exceeding the appropriate range by more than 5 degrees will receive a higher priority score.

[0035] Consider factors such as changes in the potion's color, odor concentration, changes in morphology, etc. Any changes that indicate the potion's quality may be compromised will result in a higher priority score.

[0036] Based on the evaluation of the remaining time to expiration, the storage environment parameters and the physical properties of the agent, a comprehensive priority score is calculated using a weighted summation method.

[0037] It should be noted that automated processes reduce the need for manual operations, improve processing speed and accuracy, and promptly identify and address potential problems, such as medicines approaching their expiration dates or in poor storage conditions. This effectively reduces quality and safety risks, rationally allocates limited storage space and resources, maximizes the use of existing facilities, and reduces costs.

[0038] S4. According to the updated inventory status and expiration date status, a distributed expiration date prediction model based on federated learning is constructed to generate expiration date prediction results and perform collaborative optimization across warehouses.

[0039] S4.1. Deploy a long short-term memory network as a prediction model locally in each warehouse.

[0040] Further explanation: LSTM was chosen because it can effectively process time series data, which is particularly important for expiration date prediction. Each warehouse should adjust the architecture of the LSTM model (such as the number of layers, number of units, etc.) according to its own inventory characteristics and historical data to achieve the best prediction effect.

[0041] S4.2. Use local inventory data and storage environment parameters as input features and input them into the prediction model to predict the expiration date of each drug.

[0042] Specifically, the input features are a feature set constructed based on the characteristics of the medicine (such as type, production date, batch, etc.), inventory status (quantity, location, etc.), and storage conditions (temperature and humidity change trends, etc.).

[0043] S4.3. The aggregation algorithm is used as the federated learning framework to perform weighted averaging on the LSTM model parameters to form a global prediction model.

[0044] It is further explained that the aggregation algorithm is chosen as the basis of federated learning because it is simple and effective. The aggregation algorithm protects data privacy by synchronizing model weights among multiple parties instead of directly exchanging raw data.

[0045] S4.4. Send the global prediction model parameters to each warehouse, replace the local LSTM model parameters, and use the updated global prediction model to predict the expiration date of each drug.

[0046] To further explain, the purpose of replacing the local LSTM model parameters is to ensure the security and integrity of the transmission process. After receiving the global prediction model, each warehouse can choose to use some local data to fine-tune the global prediction model to improve its accuracy in a specific environment.

[0047] S4.5. When the global prediction model predicts that the expiration date of a drug in a certain warehouse is approaching and the inventory is insufficient, a cross-warehouse collaborative optimization instruction is triggered; candidate warehouses are screened according to the global inventory status; candidate warehouses are sorted based on a dynamic priority scoring system, and the warehouse with the highest total score is selected as the target warehouse; when multiple candidate warehouses are tied for the highest score, the target warehouse is selected for transfer based on the distance priority principle; an inventory safety threshold is set, and when there is only one candidate warehouse and its inventory after transfer is lower than the safety threshold, the maximum transferable quantity is automatically calculated and a partial transfer instruction is generated; the transfer instruction is sent to the automated equipment for execution, and the inventory status of the source warehouse and target warehouse and the global prediction model are updated synchronously; if the transfer fails, the supply chain collaborative response process is triggered to generate a purchase application and production scheduling instructions.

[0048] It is further explained that the triggering conditions for cross-warehouse collaborative optimization instructions include high-risk warnings, sudden demands, and storage environment abnormalities.

[0049] A high-risk warning means that the remaining time of the drug expiration date is ≤7 days and the inventory level is less than the safety inventory level; sudden demand means that a surge in market demand causes the inventory level to drop sharply to a critical value; storage environment abnormality means that it is detected that the environmental parameters of the storage unit are out of the safe range, and the drug needs to be transferred urgently.

[0050] The screening of candidate warehouses includes excluding warehouses with substandard storage environments (such as the risk of accelerated expiration), filtering warehouses with inventory quantities less than the minimum transfer quantity, and giving priority to warehouses with the same pharmaceutical storage qualifications.

[0051] The dynamic priority score is based on the allocation of weight factors and the setting of scoring rules. For example, inventory adequacy rate (30%), transportation cost (20%), storage stability (25%), historical collaborative efficiency (15%), and response time (10%). The total score of the candidate warehouses is calculated by weighting the weight factors, and the warehouse with the highest total score is selected as the preferred target warehouse.

[0052] If multiple warehouses meet the transfer conditions and there is an inventory conflict, the urgency level is graded into level one and level two.

[0053] Among them, the first-level emergency (such as life-saving drugs with an expiration date of ≤3 days) is mandatory to prioritize the allocation to the nearest warehouse, ignoring the difference in inventory; the second-level emergency (such as ordinary drugs with an expiration date of ≤14 days) is to select the best warehouse based on the score ranking; When there is an inventory conflict, before the transfer instruction is issued, the target warehouse automatically reserves storage space corresponding to the transfer quantity to avoid repeated scheduling failures; if the reservation fails (such as being occupied by other tasks during the reservation period), a secondary priority reordering is triggered.

[0054] If there is only one candidate warehouse and its inventory after transfer is less than the safety threshold, the linkage strategy of partial transfer mechanism and supply chain collaborative response is implemented; The specific operation of the partial transfer mechanism is as follows: Calculate the maximum amount that can be transferred = min (remaining capacity of the target warehouse - safety threshold, requested transfer amount); If the available allocation amount is ≥ 50% of the requested amount, partial allocation is performed and the safety threshold is updated; If the available transfer amount is less than 50%, the transfer will be abandoned and a purchase requisition will be generated instead.

[0055] Supply chain collaboration refers to automatically triggering supplier warnings, pushing electronic purchase orders (including drug specifications, quantities, and urgency), and simultaneously notifying the production department to adjust production schedules and give priority to the production of short-supply drugs.

[0056] S4.6. After the transfer is completed, the inventory status of the source warehouse and the target warehouse is updated in real time.

[0057] S5. Based on the failure period prediction results, a dynamic evaluation system for the risk factor of the digital twin is constructed. The calculation of the risk factor of each storage unit includes the following steps: Select a digital twin platform, create a digital twin instance, and configure computing resources and storage resources; use 3D modeling tools to build a physical warehouse layout including storage units, shelves, channels, and equipment, and import the modeling results into the digital twin platform to generate a digital twin model of the virtual warehouse; associate the inventory status of medicines monitored in real time by multi-source sensors with the storage units in the digital twin model of the virtual warehouse, and update the environmental parameters and physical properties of medicines in the digital twin model of the virtual warehouse in real time; define the static and dynamic properties of the digital twin model, build simulation scenarios in the digital twin platform, set simulation parameters, and simulate risks under different conditions; based on the simulation results, calculate the risk factor of each storage unit .

[0058] Furthermore, static properties include location, size and capacity, and structural characteristics.

[0059] Among them, location refers to the fixed coordinate position of each storage unit, shelf, channel and equipment in the warehouse, which is the basis for establishing a digital twin model to ensure that the virtual environment is consistent with the actual warehouse layout. Size and capacity are to clarify the maximum capacity limit of each storage unit, including the number and type of medicines that can be accommodated, which helps to optimize inventory management and prevent overloading. Structural characteristics such as shelf materials and strength are crucial for evaluating the safety and stability of storage units.

[0060] Dynamic properties include changes in state, environmental parameters, and physical characteristics.

[0061] Status changes include changes in the quantity of medicines, storage time, and approaching expiration dates. By updating these data in real time, you can keep up to date with inventory status. Environmental parameters refer to temperature, humidity, lighting conditions, etc. These factors directly affect the quality and safety of medicines. It is necessary to set up a sensor network for continuous monitoring and feed the data back to the digital twin model. Changes in physical properties refer to changes in color, odor concentration, shape, etc., which are important indicators of changes in medicine quality.

[0062] The simulation setting refers to the analysis of the impact of extreme weather conditions (such as high / low temperature simulation, flood / heavy rain simulation, and strong wind / typhoon simulation), evacuation route planning in emergency situations (such as fire escape routes, earthquake emergency response, and chemical leak handling), and the adjustment of relevant parameters to test the system's ability to respond to emergencies (for example, simulating a sudden power outage to see whether the backup power supply can be quickly switched to ensure the normal operation of important equipment, creating a variety of hypothetical scenarios, such as a surge in demand during holiday sales peaks, supply chain disruptions leading to raw material shortages, etc., to test the flexibility and adaptability of the supply chain management system).

[0063] Based on the simulation results, the calculation of the risk factor of each storage unit includes the following steps: Extract extreme weather, emergency events and supply chain pressure data from the simulation results; calculate static attribute risk scores, dynamic attribute risk scores and simulation result scores based on the extracted data; and perform weighted aggregation on the calculated scores to obtain the risk factor of each storage unit.

[0064] S6. Based on the calculated risk factor of each storage unit, the risk level is divided, and the risk factor assessment result includes the following steps: According to the physical characteristics of the medicine and the storage environment parameters, set is a high risk threshold. is the warning threshold; when > When the high-risk storage unit is in a high-risk state, it is marked as a high-risk state, a first-level response measure is generated, a No. 1 sound and light alarm is issued, the addition of drugs to the high-risk storage unit is automatically stopped, and the warehouse management personnel are notified to conduct manual inspection and processing; < ≤ When , it is marked as an alert state, generates a secondary response measure, issues a second sound and light alarm, automatically stops adding medicine to the alert storage unit, and increases the inspection frequency of the storage unit; when ≤ When the storage unit is in a safe state, it is marked as safe, the environmental parameters and drug status of the storage unit are continuously monitored, and the storage unit is inspected according to the standard inspection plan.

[0065] It should be noted that the dynamic hazard factor assessment system based on digital twin technology can not only reflect the current situation in real time, but also predict future risks. Combined with the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and artificial intelligence algorithms, it realizes intelligent risk warning, making management more flexible and efficient. Different from the traditional single response mode, this solution provides a complete set of hierarchical response strategies, with corresponding processing procedures from minor warnings to emergency shutdowns, strong adaptability and wide coverage.

[0066] This embodiment also provides a monitoring and management system for drug inventory, including: The perception network module deploys multi-source sensors to monitor the status of drug inventory in real time and analyze and extract key features; The status mapping module performs real-time fusion analysis on the extracted key features and generates a dynamic inventory status map; The adaptive allocation module builds a reinforcement learning-driven adaptive inventory allocation model based on the dynamic inventory status map, obtains the optimal inventory allocation and scheduling strategy, and updates the inventory status; The expiration date prediction module builds a distributed expiration date prediction model based on federated learning according to the updated inventory status and expiration date status, generates expiration date prediction results, and performs collaborative optimization across warehouses. The hazard assessment module builds a dynamic hazard factor assessment system for the digital twin based on the failure period prediction results to obtain the hazard factor assessment results.

[0067] This embodiment also provides a computer device suitable for the case of a monitoring and management method for drug inventory, comprising: a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store computer executable instructions, and the processor is used to execute computer executable instructions to implement the monitoring and management method for drug inventory proposed in the above embodiment.

Among them, the processor of the computer device is used to provide computing and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device includes a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system and a computer program.

[0069] The present embodiment also provides a storage medium on which a computer program is stored.
