[0020] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0021] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] The main solutions of the embodiments of this application are: Currently, inventory updates after goods are sold rely on regular manual inventory counts, which results in inventory information not being updated in real time. As a result, the goods sales backend server cannot trigger replenishment reminders based on inventory information in real time, resulting in low replenishment efficiency.

[0023] This application determines the inventory warning threshold more accurately by counting the historical sales data and historical replenishment time of the goods, determines the sales quantity of the goods in real time by receiving the sales signal of the commodity pusher, and calculates the real-time inventory level to ensure the timely update of the inventory data, thereby improving the accuracy and real-time nature of the data. When the real-time inventory level drops to the inventory warning threshold, the replenishment reminder information is automatically triggered to ensure timely replenishment and improve the efficiency of replenishment.

[0024] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a goods replenishment reminder system based on electronic price tags, or a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or a control device of a goods replenishment reminder system based on electronic price tags that can realize the above functions, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this. The following takes the goods replenishment reminder system based on electronic price tags as an example of the execution subject to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1 Based on this, this application proposes a first embodiment of a method for reminding goods to replenish goods based on electronic price tags, please refer to Figure 1 The method for prompting replenishment of goods based on electronic price tags includes: Step S10, determining the inventory warning threshold corresponding to each commodity pusher according to the historical sales data and historical replenishment time corresponding to each commodity pusher.

[0026] Use historical data to predict the inventory needs of commodity boosters, so as to set a reasonable inventory level. When the inventory drops to that level, replenishment reminders will be automatically triggered to avoid out-of-stock situations and ensure a smooth and efficient supply chain.

[0027] In this embodiment, historical sales data is a record of the sales volume of goods in each commodity pusher in the past period of time, including information such as sales quantity and sales time, which is an important basis for analyzing sales trends and formulating inventory management strategies. The historical replenishment time is the time taken to replenish goods when the inventory of the commodity pusher is insufficient. The inventory warning threshold is a set inventory level. When the inventory drops below this level, a replenishment reminder will be issued.

[0028] As an optional implementation, historical sales data, including sales quantity and sales time, are exported from the historical logs of each commodity pusher to calculate the average sales volume, and historical replenishment time data is collected from the replenishment records of the commodity pushers to determine the replenishment cycle, clean and organize the data, and remove abnormal values ​​and duplicate data. According to the average sales volume, combined with the replenishment cycle and the safety inventory level of the goods corresponding to each commodity pusher, the inventory warning threshold of each commodity pusher is set.

[0029] As another optional implementation, time series analysis technology is used to fit historical sales data to predict sales trends in the future, and inventory warning thresholds are set based on the prediction results.

[0030] Optionally, step S10 includes: Step S11, calculating the sales speed of the goods in each of the commodity pushers according to the historical sales data corresponding to each of the commodity pushers.

[0031] By quantifying the sales trend of goods, it provides key data support for inventory management, sales forecasting and supply chain optimization. Sales velocity reflects the popularity and sales efficiency of goods in the commodity booster in the market, and is an important reference for formulating inventory strategies and replenishment plans.

[0032] As an optional implementation, export the historical sales data of the goods from the commodity pusher and ensure the data is complete, select a time unit as a calculation cycle, summarize the sales quantity within the calculation cycle, divide the total sales volume within the calculation cycle by the time length of the cycle, and obtain the sales speed.

[0033] As another optional implementation, the historical sales data is cleaned to remove outliers and duplicate data, and statistical tools are used to perform trend fitting on the historical sales data to identify the linear characteristics of the sales trend. Based on the fitted sales trend, the sales speed within a future calculation cycle is predicted.

[0034] Step S12, obtaining the safety inventory corresponding to the goods associated with each of the commodity pushers.

[0035] In this embodiment, the safety stock is an additional amount of inventory retained to cope with uncertainties such as sales fluctuations, replenishment delays, and supply chain disruptions. It is higher than the inventory level required for normal operations to ensure that a certain service level can be maintained in the face of these uncertainties.

[0036] As an optional implementation, based on the sales records of the goods associated with the commodity pusher over a period of time, the volatility of the sales data, such as the standard deviation and coefficient of variation, is analyzed, a service level target is set, and a statistical method is used to combine the sales fluctuations and the service level target to calculate the required safety stock.

[0037] As another optional implementation, the setting of the safety stock quantity of the goods associated with the industry standard commodity pusher is obtained, and the historical setting of the safety stock quantity of the goods is obtained, and a comparative analysis is performed, and the safety stock quantity setting is adjusted according to the comparative analysis results.

[0038] Step S13, calculating the inventory warning threshold corresponding to each of the commodity pushers according to the historical replenishment time, combined with the sales speed and the safety stock amount.

[0039] The inventory warning threshold is calculated based on sales velocity, historical replenishment time and safety stock level to ensure that customer needs can be met while inventory costs can be effectively controlled during operations.

[0040] In this embodiment, the inventory warning threshold is a key inventory management indicator, which sets a critical point for the inventory level. When the inventory level drops below the critical point, replenishment action is required to avoid out-of-stock, and the system will issue a replenishment reminder.

[0041] As an optional implementation method, the historical replenishment time of the goods is derived from the product pusher, the sales speed is multiplied by the historical replenishment time, and the demand sales volume within the replenishment cycle is obtained. The demand sales volume within the replenishment cycle is then added to the safety inventory to obtain the inventory warning threshold of each product pusher.

[0042] Exemplarily, the calculation formula for the inventory warning threshold of each commodity booster is "inventory warning threshold = sales speed × historical replenishment time + safety inventory amount".

[0043] As another optional implementation, mathematical or statistical methods are used to establish an inventory optimization model, with sales velocity, historical replenishment time, and safety inventory as input parameters of the model. An objective function that maximizes the service level is set, and an algorithm is used to solve the model to obtain the optimal inventory warning threshold.

[0044] Step S20: If a pulse signal of the commodity pusher is received, the sales quantity of the commodity pusher is determined according to the pulse signal.

[0045] After receiving the pulse signal from the commodity pusher, the sales quantity of the relevant goods can be accurately determined, which can better grasp the market demand and improve the efficiency of replenishment.

[0046] In this embodiment, the commodity pusher is a device in a sales box used to push the goods to consumers for easy access, including components such as a roller sensor, a push plate, and a spring rope. The sales box is used to store and display the goods. The pulse signal is a signal emitted by the commodity pusher, including the size of the sold goods, etc.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, when a consumer takes goods out of a sales box, the push plate of the commodity pusher moves with the movement of the goods, and at the same time the spring rope is retracted under the guidance of a roller sensor. The roller sensor generates a corresponding pulse signal according to the length of the retracted spring rope, and the signal is sent to a background server and converted into digital data for determining the quantity of goods taken out.

[0048] As another optional embodiment, when the goods are taken away, the weight sensor installed under the goods pusher detects the weight change and sends a pulse signal. The number of goods taken away is calculated based on the preset goods weight and the weight change in the pulse signal.

[0049] Optionally, step S20 includes: Step S21, receiving and analyzing the pulse signal of the commodity pusher, and determining the total length of the goods sold by the commodity pusher.

[0050] Receives pulse signals from the merchandise pusher and analyzes the signal to determine the total length of the merchandise sold, and then calculates the sales quantity of the merchandise by length.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pulse signal is a signal sent by the commodity pusher containing the physical length of the sold goods.

[0052] As an optional implementation, when the user takes away the goods, the push plate of the commodity pusher moves toward the direction of the electronic price tag due to the tension of the spring rope, and at the same time, the roller sensor retracts the spring rope to generate a pulse signal corresponding to the length of the spring rope. The pulse signal of the commodity pusher is received to determine the length of the sold goods.

[0053] As another optional implementation, an infrared sensor installed on the commodity pusher detects the position change of the commodity and generates a corresponding infrared signal. The infrared signal is received, and according to the information such as the type of commodity and the position change of the commodity contained in the signal, the signal is analyzed to determine the length of the sold commodity.

[0054] Step S22, determining the sales quantity of the commodity pusher according to the length of a single commodity associated with the commodity pusher and the total length of the commodities sold by the commodity pusher.

[0055] In this embodiment, the total length of the goods for sale refers to the total length of the goods for sale in the commodity pusher, which is obtained by analyzing the pulse signal of the commodity pusher.

[0056] Optionally, for each cargo type, a length is set for each cargo based on factors such as the physical characteristics of the cargo, packaging method, storage conditions, etc.

[0057] Exemplarily, according to the type of goods in the commodity pusher, the corresponding number of goods per unit length is determined, and the formula for calculating the sales quantity is "sales quantity = length of goods / length of a single piece of goods".

[0058] Step S30, calculating the real-time inventory of the commodity pusher according to the sales quantity of the goods, and displaying the real-time inventory on the electronic price tag corresponding to the commodity pusher.

[0059] Based on the known sales quantity of goods, the inventory of goods in the product pusher is calculated in real time, and the updated inventory information is displayed on the electronic price tag corresponding to the product pusher to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the inventory data so that the inventory status can be understood in time and replenishment can be carried out.

[0060] In this embodiment, the real-time inventory refers to the number of goods remaining in the commodity pusher at the current moment, which is dynamically calculated based on factors such as the initial inventory and sales quantity. The electronic price tag is an electronic display device that can display commodity information. It uses an ink screen display and is powered by a button battery. The electronic price tag will only connect to the battery and update the information displayed on the ink screen when it receives a signal. Therefore, it consumes very little power and a button battery can be used for a long time. Each commodity pusher corresponds to an electronic price tag, and the display information of the electronic price tag is updated in real time according to the inventory of the goods in the commodity pusher.

[0061] As an optional implementation, after receiving the sales quantity data, the inventory of the remaining goods is calculated in real time based on the initial inventory of the goods in the product pusher, and the calculated real-time inventory data is sent to the electronic price tag corresponding to the product pusher. The data is received through the electronic price tag, and the display content is immediately updated to present the latest inventory information.

[0062] Optionally, step S30 includes: Step S31, determining the real-time inventory of the goods according to the initial inventory of the commodity pusher and the sales quantity of the goods.

[0063] In this embodiment, the initial inventory is the inventory quantity of the goods updated by the commodity pusher after the last replenishment. The real-time inventory is the current inventory quantity of the goods dynamically calculated based on the initial inventory and the sales quantity.

[0064] Exemplarily, after receiving the sales data, the sales quantity is automatically subtracted from the initial inventory to calculate the real-time inventory.

[0065] Step S32, adjusting the preset goods display template according to the real-time inventory quantity, and performing rendering processing to determine the goods display information.

[0066] By adjusting the preset goods display template according to the real-time inventory quantity and rendering it, the goods display content containing the latest inventory information is generated, which is then applied to the electronic price tag so that sales staff or replenishment staff can understand the inventory status of the required goods.

[0067] In this embodiment, the product display template is a preset template suitable for the ink screen of the electronic price tag to display product information, including key fields such as product name, price, inventory, etc., as well as corresponding layout and style design. Rendering processing is the process of filling the data containing the product information into the display template, and applying the corresponding layout, style and logic rules to generate the product information content that is finally displayed on the electronic price tag.

[0068] Exemplarily, the real-time inventory quantity and other goods information that need to be displayed are obtained, the information is filled into the template, the filled template is rendered, and the final goods display content is generated.

[0069] Step S33, transmitting the goods display information to the electronic price tag corresponding to the commodity pusher and displaying it, so as to update the electronic price tag in real time.

[0070] As an optional implementation method, a wired communication method such as a network cable or serial port cable is used to establish a link between the electronic price tag and the backend server, and the product display information is transmitted to the electronic price tag through a wired communication protocol. The display content of the electronic price tag is updated according to preset rules and logic to display the latest product information.

[0071] As another optional implementation, a wireless network environment is established to ensure that the electronic price tag can communicate wirelessly with the backend server, and the goods display information is pushed to the electronic price tag using wireless communication technology, and the display content of the electronic price tag is updated according to preset rules and logic to display the latest goods information.

[0072] Step S40: if the real-time inventory quantity drops to the inventory warning threshold corresponding to the commodity recommender, a replenishment prompt message is output.

[0073] When the inventory level reaches the inventory warning threshold, the inventory management personnel are promptly reminded to automatically perform replenishment operations to prevent sales interruptions caused by inventory depletion. By triggering replenishment reminder information, inventory can be managed more effectively to ensure a continuous supply of goods.

[0074] In this embodiment, the replenishment reminder information is information used to inform the inventory management personnel to perform a replenishment operation, and includes key information such as the name and quantity of the goods that need to be replenished.

[0075] As an optional implementation, when the real-time inventory level drops to the inventory warning threshold, a replenishment reminder message is sent to the inventory management personnel, and the inventory management personnel sends the replenishment reminder message to the corresponding replenishment personnel to remind the replenishment personnel to perform the replenishment operation of the corresponding product recommender.

[0076] As another optional implementation, when the real-time inventory level drops below the inventory warning threshold, the system automatically triggers a replenishment reminder message to the corresponding replenishment personnel to remind the replenishment personnel to perform the replenishment operation of the corresponding product recommender.

[0077] The present embodiment provides a method for prompting replenishment of goods based on electronic price tags. The present embodiment firstly determines the inventory warning threshold more accurately by counting the historical sales data and historical replenishment time of the goods in the commodity pusher, determines the sales quantity of the goods in real time by receiving the pulse signal of the commodity pusher, and calculates the real-time inventory quantity to ensure the timely update of the inventory data, thereby improving the accuracy and real-time nature of the data. When the real-time inventory quantity drops to the inventory warning threshold, the replenishment prompt information is automatically triggered to ensure timely replenishment and improve the efficiency of replenishment.

[0078] Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present application proposes a method for prompting replenishment of goods based on an electronic price tag, referring to Figure 2 , after step S30, comprising: Step S50, receiving the goods information input by the user on the terminal device, and adjusting the goods display template according to the goods information.

[0079] By receiving the goods information entered by the user on the terminal device, it can capture the latest data about the goods in real time and automatically adjust the goods display template to ensure that the goods information is accurately displayed in the electronic price tag.

[0080] In this embodiment, the goods information refers to various data related to the goods, including but not limited to price, inventory, promotion information, goods description, new product listing status, barcode / QR code, etc. The terminal device is a device used by the user to input goods information, which can be a smart phone, tablet computer, personal computer, or a dedicated terminal configured in the store.

[0081] As an optional implementation, the user inputs or updates the cargo information on the terminal device, and the preset cargo display template is automatically matched according to the input cargo information, and the selected cargo display template is automatically adjusted according to the matching result.

[0082] Optionally, if the provided template does not meet user needs, the user can make customized adjustments based on the selected template.

[0083] Step S60: Rendering the product display template to determine product display information for displaying the electronic price tag.

[0084] The purpose of rendering the goods display template is to convert the goods information into a format suitable for electronic price tag display in a clear manner, thereby ensuring that the electronic price tag can accurately display the latest goods information while maintaining the readability of the information.

[0085] In this embodiment, rendering is a process of combining a product display template with product information using computer graphics technology to generate an image or text that is ultimately displayed on an electronic price tag. Product display information is product information that is rendered and used to display on an electronic price tag, including price, promotional information, inventory status, etc.

[0086] Exemplarily, a graphics rendering engine is used to convert the filled template into an image or text format suitable for display on an electronic price tag.

[0087] Step S70: transmitting the goods display information to the electronic price tag corresponding to the commodity pusher for updating, and receiving update success information of the electronic price tag.

[0088] The rendered display information of the goods is transmitted to the electronic price tag corresponding to the product pusher to update the display content on the electronic price tag. At the same time, receiving the update success information of the electronic price tag can confirm that the information has been correctly transmitted and displayed on the electronic price tag, avoiding information update failure.

[0089] In this embodiment, the update success information is confirmation information sent by the electronic price tag to the system after receiving new goods display information and completing the update, indicating that the update operation has been successfully completed.

[0090] As an optional implementation, wireless networks such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, and Zigbee are used to transmit the rendered product display information to the electronic price tag. After receiving the new product display information, the electronic price tag automatically updates and displays the new information on the screen. After the update is completed, the electronic price tag sends an update success message to the background server to confirm that the information has been correctly updated. After receiving the update success message, it is confirmed that the update process is complete.

[0091] As another optional implementation, the backend server is connected to the electronic price tag through a wired connection such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) or Ethernet, and the product display information is transmitted from the backend server to the electronic price tag using the wired connection. After receiving the new product display information, the electronic price tag automatically updates and sends an update success message to the backend server after the update is completed. After receiving the update success message, it is recorded to confirm that the update is complete.

[0092] This embodiment provides a method for replenishment reminder of goods based on electronic price tags. This embodiment first automatically adjusts the goods display template according to the goods information input or updated by the user in real time on the terminal device to ensure the accuracy of the information. Through rendering processing, the goods information is converted into a format suitable for electronic price tag display, thereby further enhancing the readability of the information.

[0093] Based on the first embodiment, the third embodiment of the present application proposes a method for prompting replenishment of goods based on an electronic price tag, referring to Figure 3 , after step S40, comprising: Step S80, sending the replenishment reminder information to the replenishment worker terminal.

[0094] Promptly communicating replenishment reminders to replenishment workers so that they can respond quickly and perform replenishment tasks helps reduce inventory shortages.

[0095] In this embodiment, the replenishment reminder information is information used to notify the replenishment workers to perform replenishment operations, including the name, location, and quantity of the goods to be replenished, etc. The replenishment worker terminal is a device used by the replenishment workers to receive the replenishment reminder information and guide them to perform replenishment operations.

[0096] As an optional implementation, the replenishment reminder information is sent to the mobile device of the replenishment worker via a wireless network.

[0097] As another optional implementation, a display screen is provided in the warehouse to display replenishment prompt information, and replenishment workers perform replenishment tasks by viewing the information on the screen.

[0098] Step S90, receiving and analyzing the pulse signal of the commodity pusher, and determining the replenishment quantity of the commodity that the replenishment worker performs the replenishment operation on the commodity pusher.

[0099] By receiving and analyzing the pulse signal of the commodity pusher, the quantity of goods replenished by the replenishment worker is determined, and the initial inventory quantity is updated accordingly, which helps to achieve accurate inventory management.

[0100] In this embodiment, the commodity pusher is a device used to determine the inventory of the goods in the sales box, and includes components such as a roller sensor, a push plate, and a spring rope. The pulse signal is a signal sent by the commodity pusher after the replenishment worker completes the replenishment operation, and is used to calculate and confirm the actual number of goods replenished by the replenishment worker.

[0101] As an optional implementation, when the replenishment worker puts goods into the sales box, the push plate of the commodity pusher moves with the movement of the goods, and at the same time the spring rope is released under the guidance of the roller sensor. The roller sensor generates a corresponding pulse signal according to the length of the released spring rope, and the signal is sent to the background server and converted into digital data for determining the quantity of goods to be replenished.

[0102] Step S100, updating the initial inventory of the commodity pusher according to the cargo replenishment quantity and the real-time inventory.

[0103] Exemplarily, based on the calculated replenishment quantity and the real-time inventory quantity before replenishment, the initial inventory quantity of the commodity pusher is updated and calculated by the formula "initial inventory quantity = replenishment quantity + real-time inventory quantity".

[0104] This embodiment provides a method for replenishment reminder of goods based on electronic price tags. This embodiment first sends replenishment reminder information to the replenishment worker in a timely manner, so that the replenishment worker can respond quickly and perform the replenishment task, thereby reducing the replenishment delay caused by information lag. The replenishment quantity is calculated through the replenishment signal sent by the commodity pusher, and the initial inventory quantity is updated according to the replenishment quantity and the real-time inventory quantity, thereby ensuring the real-time and accuracy of the inventory data.

[0105] Based on the first embodiment, the fourth embodiment of the present application proposes a method for prompting replenishment of goods based on an electronic price tag, referring to Figure 4 , after step S40, further comprising: Step A10, regularly summarizing the sales quantity of the goods associated with each of the commodity pushers to determine the sales quantity of each of the goods.

[0106] Collect and organize the sales data of goods in each commodity booster over a period of time, further calculate the total sales quantity of each commodity, and have a clearer understanding of the sales of each type of goods, thereby conducting precise inventory management.

[0107] As an optional implementation, a calculation period is set, the sales quantity of goods associated with all commodity pushers contained in the sales area within the calculation period is summarized, and the sales quantity of each commodity is calculated. Each commodity pusher corresponds to a commodity, and each commodity in the sales area can be sold in one or more commodity pushers.

[0108] Step A20, calculating the sales proportion of the sales quantity of each of the goods in the total sales quantity of all the goods.

[0109] Calculate the ratio of each product's sales volume to the total sales volume of all products to assess the contribution of each product to the overall sales and optimize inventory management.

[0110] In this embodiment, the sales proportion is the ratio of the sales quantity of a certain commodity to the total sales quantity of all commodities, reflecting the contribution of the commodity to the overall sales.

[0111] Exemplarily, the sales share of each product is calculated by the formula “sales share = total sales quantity of a certain product / total sales quantity of all products × 100%”.

[0112] Step A30, determining the storage location of each of the goods in the warehouse according to the sales proportion.

[0113] In order to optimize warehouse management, improve the efficiency and accuracy of goods storage and retrieval, and reasonably allocate storage space according to the sales of goods. By placing goods with high sales ratios in more accessible locations, picking time can be shortened. It also helps to reduce inventory backlog and expiration risks, because hot-selling goods are more likely to be quickly turned around, while slow-moving goods can be placed in secondary locations for promotion or clearance when necessary.

[0114] In this embodiment, the storage location is the specific storage location of the goods in the warehouse.

[0115] As an optional implementation, the sales proportion of each product is calculated based on historical sales data, the products are sorted from high to low according to their sales proportion, and based on the sorting result, the products with high sales proportion are allocated to the most easily accessible location in the warehouse.

[0116] As another optional implementation, the dimensions, weight, fragility, shelf life and other characteristics of each cargo are obtained, the sales share is combined with the cargo characteristics, and a comprehensive evaluation is performed to determine the storage priority of the cargo. Based on the comprehensive sorting results, the storage location is dynamically adjusted to ensure that hot-selling and easy-to-carry cargo is placed in the best location.

[0117] Optionally, step A30 includes: Step A31, sorting each of the goods from high to low according to the sales proportion, and determining the goods sorting result.

[0118] Sort the goods according to their sales percentage to identify which goods are hot-selling and which are slow-moving.

[0119] Exemplarily, sales data within a certain period of time is exported from the sales system, including the sales quantity of each product. The sales proportion of each product is calculated using the formula "sales proportion = sales quantity of a certain product / total sales quantity of all products × 100%". The products are sorted from high to low according to their sales proportion to obtain the product sorting result.

[0120] Step A32, sorting the storage locations of the goods in the warehouse from easy to difficult according to the difficulty of access, and determining the storage location sorting result.

[0121] Sort the storage locations in your warehouse by their accessibility to determine which locations are easier to access and which are more difficult to access.

[0122] For example, each storage location in the warehouse is evaluated, taking into account factors such as the distance from the entrance and exit, the height of the shelf, the width of the aisle, etc. Based on the evaluation results, each storage location is assigned an access difficulty score, with the higher the score, the easier it is to access. The storage locations are sorted from high to low according to the access difficulty, and the storage location sorting result is obtained.

[0123] Step A33, determining the storage location of each of the goods in turn according to the goods sorting results and the storage location sorting results.

[0124] Exemplarily, the goods sorting results are matched with the storage location sorting results, and goods with a high sales ratio are placed in easily accessible storage locations in the warehouse. The matching results are adjusted according to the actual situation of the warehouse to determine the storage location of each type of goods.

[0125] The present embodiment provides a method for reminding customers of replenishment of goods based on electronic price tags. The present embodiment first summarizes sales data on a regular basis to grasp the sales situation of each type of goods in real time, adjusts the storage location according to the sales proportion, and places the hot-selling goods in a more accessible location in the warehouse, thereby shortening the picking time and improving the replenishment efficiency.
