[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2According to the first aspect of the present application, the warehouse management method comprises the following steps:

[0057] S100, obtaining characteristic information of materials to be put into storage;

[0058] S200, searching the defined storage location 110, and searching for the storage location 110 with characteristic information in the definition; if the storage location 110 with characteristic information is found, executing step S300; if the storage location 110 with characteristic information is not found, executing step S400;

[0059] S300, confirm whether the storage location 110 with characteristic information is full; if there is an unfilled storage location 110, place the material in the storage location 110; if all storage locations 110 are full, execute step S400;

[0060] S400, searching for undefined storage locations 110. If at least one undefined storage location 110 is found, defining the storage location 110 so that the definition of the storage location 110 includes characteristic information, and placing the material in the storage location 110; if no undefined storage location 110 is found, executing step S500;

[0061] S500, search for a defined, empty storage location 110; if a defined, empty storage location 110 exists, redefine the storage location 110 so that the definition of the storage location 110 includes characteristic information, and place the material in the storage location 110; if there is no defined, empty storage location 110, issue an alarm to indicate that the warehouse 100 is full.

[0062] The warehouse management method according to the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects: by dividing the storage locations 110 into storage locations 110 with characteristic information of the material, undefined storage locations 110, and defined and empty storage locations 110, the warehousing of materials has a priority order, that is, the storage locations 110 with the characteristic information of the material are used first, then the undefined storage locations 110 are used, and finally the storage locations 110 that have stored other materials and are vacant are used, thereby materials with the same characteristic information can be placed together, the undefined storage locations 110 and the defined and empty storage locations 110 can be fully utilized, and the utilization rate of the storage locations 110 is higher.

[0063] It should be noted that the characteristic information of a material generally includes the material name (or material code) and the size of the material.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the warehouse management method further includes the step of: S90, numbering each storage location 110 of the warehouse 100, and each storage location 110 has a unique number;

[0065] In steps S200 , S400 and S500 , when searching or finding the storage location 110 , the storage locations 110 are searched or found one by one in the order of the numbers.

[0066] Each storage location 110 is numbered, and each storage location 110 has a unique number, which is conducive to searching or finding the storage location 110 one by one. The storage location 110 is not easily searched or found repeatedly, and the storage location 110 is not easily missed or found, and the search or search efficiency is higher.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an improved solution of the above embodiment, the storage locations 110 are searched or found one by one in the order of numbers from small to large; or, the storage locations 110 are searched or found one by one in the order of numbers from large to small.

[0068] The method of searching or finding the storage locations 110 one by one in order of size is simple and effective, and is conducive to improving the efficiency of searching or finding.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, step S100 includes: acquiring characteristic information by scanning an information code on the material to be stored.

[0070] The characteristic information is obtained through the information code on the material. The solution is simple and the cost is low, which is conducive to reducing the cost of implementing the warehouse management method.

[0071] Specifically, the information code may be a barcode or a QR code.

[0072] In an improved solution of the above embodiment, the information code is generated on the material by laser printing; or, the information code is generated on the material by inkjet printing; or, the information code is pasted on the material.

[0073] Laser printing, inkjet printing and pasting are all processes with stable processing quality, which is conducive to obtaining information codes with a higher yield rate.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the warehouse management method further includes the steps of:

[0075] Obtain characteristic information of materials to be shipped out;

[0076] Find the storage location 110 with characteristic information in the definition; if there is material in the storage location 110 with characteristic information, the material is shipped out; if there is no material in the storage location 110 with characteristic information, an alarm is issued, indicating that there is no material in the warehouse 100.

[0077] By searching for the storage location 110 with characteristic information in the definition, the material to be shipped out can be accurately found, thereby improving the shipping efficiency.

[0078] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the following specifically describes a warehouse management method according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0079] A warehouse management method according to an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps.

[0080] Step 1. Number the storage location 110.

[0081] To facilitate subsequent operations, each storage location 110 of the warehouse 100 needs to be numbered first, such as Figure 2 As shown, the storage locations 110 are numbered R1 to R50, each storage location 110 has a unique number, and the number corresponds to the storage location 110 one by one.

[0082] Step 2: Scan the material code.

[0083] Each material has a QR code that carries the characteristic information of the material. The warehousing system needs to automatically read the QR code and parse its meaning.

[0084] Step 3: Define storage location 110.

[0085] The materials identified by scanning the code need to be automatically classified and loaded into the storage location 110. Since there are many types of materials, but the number of storage locations 110 is limited, it is necessary to dynamically define the storage locations 110 to maximize the utilization rate of the warehouse 100 and save site and equipment costs.

[0086] The method for dynamically defining location 110 is as follows:

[0087] Step 3.1: The controller extracts feature information, such as A, from the QR code.

[0088] Step 3.2: The controller starts searching for the existing definition of the storage location 110 from the storage location 110 numbered R1. If at least one A is finally found, step 3.2.1 is executed; if no A is finally found, step 3.2.2 is executed.

[0089] Step 3.2.1: If at least one A is finally found, that is, there is A in the definition information of the defined storage location 110, for example, R6=A and R8=A are found, then first check whether R6 is full. If not, it means that the material can be loaded into R6, and there is no need to open a new storage location 110 and there is no need to continue to check whether R8 is full; if R6 is full, then continue to check whether R8 is full. If R8 is not full, it means that the new material A can be loaded into R8, and there is no need to open a new storage location 110. If R8 is also full, that is, all the existing A are full and the material cannot be loaded, then execute step 3.2.3.

[0090] Step 3.2.2: If A is not found in the end, that is, there is no A in the definition information of the defined storage location 110, then start from R1 to search for undefined storage locations 110 one by one (that is, the storage location 110 has not been used yet). If at least one undefined storage location 110 can be found, for example, R5 = undefined, then immediately define R5 as A, that is, R5 = A, and then put the materials to be stored into R5; if the undefined storage location 110 is not found in the end, execute step 3.2.3.

[0091] Step 3.2.3: If no storage location 110 with definition information containing A is found, and there is no undefined storage location 110; or, the storage locations 110 with definition information containing A are all full, and there is no undefined storage location 110. In both cases, it means that all storage locations 110 have been used at least once. At this time, it is necessary to automatically clean up the storage locations 110 and find storage locations 110 that have been defined but temporarily do not store materials, that is, the materials in the storage location 110 are just emptied, and it becomes an empty storage location 110 with a definition but no materials.

[0092] If it is found that, for example, the definition information of the storage location 110 numbered R10 contains B, but there is no material in the storage location 110 numbered R10 at this time, the definition information of R10 is immediately modified to A, that is, R10 = A, so that the material can be loaded into the storage location 110 numbered R10. If there is at least one material in each storage location 110 in the end, that is, all storage locations 110 are in use, there are no undefined storage locations 110 that can be defined, and there are no empty storage locations 110 that can be redefined, then an alarm prompt is issued to inform the operator that the warehouse 100 is full and new material A cannot be loaded temporarily, and it is necessary to wait for unloading until a position for loading A is vacated or a new empty storage location 110 is generated.

[0093] In other words, if the same definition already exists, the storage locations 110 with the same definition are given priority and searched one by one. If the storage locations 110 with the same definition are full, the storage locations 110 that have not been defined are considered. If there are no undefined storage locations 110, redefining empty storage locations 110 is considered. If all storage locations 110 are occupied, an alarm is issued and the system waits. In this way, the storage locations 110 can be used to the maximum extent, the utilization rate of the storage locations 110 can be greatly improved, the turnover of materials can be reduced, the occupation of the site can be reduced, the cost of the equipment can be reduced, and the equipment can be developed towards unmanned and intelligent.

[0094] Step 4: Loading.

[0095] After the storage location 110 is dynamically defined, materials can be loaded into the designated storage location 110 using handling equipment.

[0096] Furthermore, each storage location 110 may include several bins, and multiple identical materials may be placed in one storage location 110 by moving the positions of the materials in the storage location 110. For example, the storage location 110 numbered R1 includes 3 bins, and if R1=A, then the R1 storage location 110 may contain at most 3 materials A. When loading material A, the position of material A will be adjusted by the handling equipment, thereby ensuring that the materials do not interfere with each other when loaded.

[0097] Step 5: Cutting the materials.

[0098] When the controller receives information about materials to be shipped out, such as A, it executes the following steps in sequence.

[0099] Step 5.1, start the query from R1 and find the number of the first storage location 110 whose definition information contains A, such as R20.

[0100] Step 5.2, check whether there is material in R20. If there is material, move the material to the discharge bin of location 110; if there is no material, continue to query from R21 until the next location 110 with definition information containing A is found, and query whether there is material until all locations 110 are queried.

[0101] Step 5.3: If the corresponding material A is found, use the handling equipment to take material A to a specific location to complete the unloading. If material A is not found in the end, it means that material A has been unloaded or material A does not exist in the warehouse temporarily. At this time, an alarm prompts to inform the operator.

[0102] Compared with the related art, the embodiments of the present application have the following advantages.

[0103] First, the warehouse management method of the embodiment of the present application is automated, unmanned, and intelligent, laying the foundation for the construction of intelligent factories.

[0104] Second, the warehouse management method of the embodiment of the present application can realize dynamic optimization of the storage location 110, and the utilization rate of the storage location 110 is very high. The small-capacity warehouse 100 can efficiently store or circulate a large number of types and quantities of materials.

[0105] Third, the warehouse management method of the embodiment of the present application is highly compatible and is compatible with the situation where each storage location 110 has only one storage location or multiple storage locations, as well as the situation where the warehouse 100 has any rows or columns, and is compatible with the situation where a large warehouse 100 is composed of several storage cabinets connected in parallel or in series.

[0106] Fourth, the warehouse management method of the embodiment of the present application is highly applicable, and is applicable to one-to-one (small number or types of materials, one material only uses one storage location 110), one-to-many (large number of materials, one material is automatically allocated to use multiple storage locations 110), and many-to-one (many types of materials, multiple materials are dynamically adjusted to use the same storage location 110).

[0107] Reference Figure 4 According to the second aspect of the present application, the warehouse management system 200 includes an acquisition module 210, a storage location search module 220, a confirmation module 230, a first storage location search module 240, and a second storage location search module 250. The acquisition module 210 is used to obtain characteristic information of materials to be stored. The storage location search module 220 is used to search the defined storage locations 110 and find the storage locations 110 with characteristic information in the definition. If the storage location 110 with characteristic information is found, the confirmation module 230 is turned; if the storage location 110 with characteristic information is not found, the first storage location search module 240 is turned.

[0108] The confirmation module 230 is used to confirm whether the storage location 110 with characteristic information is full; if there is an unfilled storage location 110, the material is placed in the storage location 110. If all the storage locations 110 are full, the process proceeds to the first storage location search module 240. The first storage location search module 240 is used to find undefined storage locations 110. If at least one undefined storage location 110 is found, the storage location 110 is defined so that the definition of the storage location 110 includes the characteristic information, and the material is placed in the storage location 110; if no undefined storage location 110 is found, the process proceeds to the second storage location search module 250.

[0109] The second storage location search module 250 is used to find a defined, empty storage location 110. If there is a defined, empty storage location 110, the storage location 110 is redefined so that the definition of the storage location 110 includes characteristic information, and the material is placed in the storage location 110; if there is no defined, empty storage location 110, an alarm is issued to indicate that the warehouse 100 is full.

[0110] The warehouse management system 200 according to the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects: by dividing the storage locations 110 into storage locations 110 with characteristic information of the material, undefined storage locations 110, and defined and empty storage locations 110, the warehousing of materials has a priority order, that is, the storage locations 110 with the characteristic information of the material are used first, then the undefined storage locations 110 are used, and finally the storage locations 110 that have stored other materials and are empty are used, thereby materials with the same characteristic information can be placed together, and the remaining storage locations 110 can be used to place other materials, and the utilization rate of the storage locations 110 is higher.

In this embodiment, the memory 310 is generally used to store the operating system and various application software installed on the warehouse management device 300, such as the program code of the warehouse management method, etc. In addition, the memory 310 can also be used to temporarily store various types of data that have been output or are to be output.

[0114] The processor 320 may be a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, or other data processing chip in some embodiments. The processor 320 is generally used to control the overall operation of the warehouse management device 300. In this embodiment, the processor 320 is used to run the program code stored in the memory 310 or process data, such as running the program code of the warehouse management method.

[0115] In addition, the warehouse management device 300 generally includes a display, a communication interface and a bus.
