Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics management, and in particular to a method for storing and accessing express delivery by classification. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate customers to pick up parcels at the courier pickup station, it is necessary to classify and manage the parcels, mainly based on the size of the package, the type of goods, etc. After classification, the shelf number and location of each courier are coded and associated with the information on the courier itself. In this way, when the customer picks up the parcel, he can quickly find the storage location information of the courier by providing the courier's own pickup information or the station's coding information, making it convenient for the customer to pick up the parcel.

[0003] When a courier station receives a package, it needs to print or write a code of the storage location after sorting it, paste it on the package, place the package at the coded location, and then enter the courier code into the handheld terminal to associate it with the original information of the package. In this way, the courier storage location, the station code information, and the original information of the package are associated with each other. This method is very time-consuming and prone to errors when entering the associated information, causing customers to be unable to find the package temporarily when picking it up. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to create a method for classified storage and retrieval of express delivery, which improves the efficiency of picking and placing express delivery by classifying the sizes of express delivery and matching them to shelves, and performs automatic coding and inkjet coding, and avoids the occurrence of associated information errors.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution created by the present invention is implemented as follows: a method for storing and accessing express delivery by classification is implemented based on a warehouse management system. The warehouse management system includes: a warehouse management platform and a handheld terminal. The warehouse management platform is built into the handheld terminal. The warehouse management platform is used to number and classify shelves, manage express delivery information, and record express delivery in and out of the warehouse to maintain inventory accuracy. The method for storing and accessing express delivery by classification includes the following steps: S1. The staff classifies the express according to its size, and when the express is put into storage, the classification information of the express is input into the mobile terminal.

[0006] S2. The staff uses a handheld terminal to scan the express to obtain the item information of the express, and the mobile terminal sends the item information and classification information to the warehouse management platform.

[0007] S3. The warehouse management platform receives and stores item information and classification information. Based on the classification information, the warehouse management platform matches the express to the shelf, generates the corresponding shelf code, and registers the express into the warehouse.

[0008] S4. The mobile terminal automatically generates a sequence code for the express delivery based on the item information and the shelf code.

[0009] S5. The mobile terminal associates the item information with the sequence code and uploads it to the express delivery system; at the same time, the mobile terminal prints the sequence code on the express delivery.

[0010] S6. The staff will place the express on the matching shelf according to the sequence code displayed on the handheld terminal.

[0011] S7. When the customer picks up the express, the staff will query the corresponding sequence code on the handheld terminal according to the express information provided by the customer. The staff will confirm the item information through the mobile terminal and issue the item.

[0012] S8. The staff registers the outbound shipment through the handheld terminal.

[0013] Furthermore, the warehouse management platform determines whether the sequence code generated in step S4 is occupied. When the express sequence code is occupied, the handheld terminal re-matches a new sequence code.

[0014] Furthermore, the item information includes the shipping date, item type, item quantity, logistics process information, and recipient information.

[0015] Furthermore, after the staff completes the outbound registration, the warehouse management platform releases the shelf's vacant location information and capacity information.

[0016] Furthermore, the handheld terminal includes a data processing module, a barcode recognition module, a keyboard input module, a wireless communication module, a coding module, a display module and a power module.

[0017] The data processing module receives and processes the information from the barcode recognition module, keyboard input module, inkjet coding module, display module and power module; the data processing module interacts and transmits data with the express delivery system through the wireless communication module.

[0018] The barcode recognition module scans and photographs the express code for recognition, and transmits the recognized information to the data processing module.

[0019] The keyboard input module provides a quick input method. The staff inputs the express information through the keyboard input module, and the input express information is directly transmitted to the data processing module.

[0020] The coding module codes the items and transmits the coding information to the data processing module.

[0021] The display module displays the operation interface and express information, and provides operations and instructions to the staff.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: the invention classifies the express delivery by utilizing its own data information and matches it with the shelves, and automatically encodes and sprays the codes on it, thereby improving the efficiency of picking and placing the express delivery and preventing errors in the associated information.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for storing and accessing express delivery by classification is implemented based on a warehouse management system. The warehouse management system includes: a warehouse management platform and a handheld terminal. The warehouse management platform is built into the handheld terminal. The warehouse management platform is used to number and classify shelves, manage express delivery information, and record express delivery in and out of the warehouse to maintain inventory accuracy. The method is characterized in that the method includes the following steps: S1. The staff classifies the express according to its size, and when the express is put into storage, the classification information of the express is input into the mobile terminal.

[0030] First, classify the express according to the packaging form, such as cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and wooden boxes, and then classify them according to the size of the express.

[0031] S2. The staff uses a handheld terminal to scan the express to obtain the item information of the express, and the mobile terminal sends the item information and classification information to the warehouse management platform.

[0032] S3. The warehouse management platform receives and stores item information and classification information. Based on the classification information, the warehouse management platform matches the express to the shelf, generates the corresponding shelf code, and registers the express into the warehouse.

[0033] The shelf code is coded according to the order in which the shelves are arranged in the warehouse, such as shelf 1, shelf 2, and shelf 3, and then each layer of the shelf is coded separately, such as the first layer of shelf 1 is shelf 1-1, and the second layer is shelf 1-2. Usually, the code of the shelf remains unchanged.

[0034] S4. The mobile terminal automatically generates a sequence code for the express delivery based on the item information and the shelf code.

[0035] The sequence code consists of shelf code + natural code, such as 1-1-001, 1-1-002, etc. The storage location is the first layer of shelf 1.

[0036] S5. The mobile terminal uses the warehouse management platform to associate the item information and the sequence code, and uploads them to the express delivery system; at the same time, the mobile terminal prints the sequence code for the express delivery.

[0037] S5. The mobile terminal associates the item information with the sequence code and uploads it to the express delivery system; at the same time, the mobile terminal prints the sequence code on the express delivery.

[0038] S6. The staff will place the express on the matching shelf according to the sequence code displayed on the handheld terminal.

[0039] S7. When the customer picks up the express, the staff will query the corresponding sequence code on the handheld terminal according to the express information provided by the customer. The staff will confirm the item information through the mobile terminal and issue the item.

[0040] S8. The staff registers the outbound shipment through the handheld terminal.

[0041] Furthermore, the warehouse management platform determines whether the sequence code generated in step S4 is occupied. When the express sequence code is occupied, the handheld terminal re-matches a new sequence code.

[0042] Furthermore, the item information includes the shipping date, item type, item quantity, logistics process information, and recipient information.

[0043] Furthermore, after the staff completes the outbound registration, the warehouse management platform releases the shelf's vacant location information and capacity information.

[0044] Furthermore, the handheld terminal includes a data processing module, a barcode recognition module, a keyboard input module, a wireless communication module, a coding module, a display module and a power module.

[0045] The data processing module receives and processes the information from the barcode recognition module, keyboard input module, inkjet coding module, display module and power module; the data processing module interacts and transmits data with the express delivery system through the wireless communication module.

[0046] The barcode recognition module scans and photographs the express code for recognition, and transmits the recognized information to the data processing module.

[0047] The keyboard input module provides a quick input method. The staff inputs the express information through the keyboard input module, and the input express information is directly transmitted to the data processing module.

[0048] The coding module codes the items and transmits the coding information to the data processing module.

[0049] The display module displays the operation interface and express information, and provides operations and instructions to the staff.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the modules of the handheld terminal can be selected as follows: the barcode recognition module can be selected as the IMX258 USB camera of the DECXIN brand; the keyboard input module can be selected as the universal 4*4TTL level keyboard module; the battery module can be selected as the 5V2000ma rechargeable lithium battery; the wireless communication module can be selected as the E33V module of the Tashi brand; the display module can be selected as the 2.4-inch TFT LCD display module of the Jinyichen brand; the inkjet module can be selected as the mini type of the Fapsun brand, and the data processing module can be selected as the STM32 development board STM32F103ZET6 of Zhengdian Atom. The above modules can realize the functions. If you want to design it beautifully, you need to design a new system. The battery provides power.

[0051] When entering the warehouse, when the handheld terminal scans the express barcode, the barcode information is identified by the barcode recognition module, and the data is transmitted to the data processing module through the USB interface. The data processing module transmits it to the wireless communication module through the UART interface. The wireless communication module interacts with the corresponding express system through WiFi, obtains the corresponding express information, and transmits it to the data processing module through the USB interface, and the data processing module stores the information. The courier uses the keyboard to input the shelf number where the express needs to be stored, and uses the I / O port to transmit the information to the data processing module. The data processing module uses the coding rules to automatically generate the sequence code of the express according to the received shelf code, and merges the sequence code with the stored express information and re-stores it (the specific fusion method is to add the sequence code to the express information and regenerate new express information). At this time, the inkjet module sprays the express. When spraying, the spray module is placed on the express as required, and the keyboard is used to input the spraying instruction to the data processing module. The data processing module transmits the sequence code information to the inkjet module using the USB module, and the inkjet module sprays the sequence code on the express. At the same time, when the data processing module receives the coding instruction, it transmits the fused express information to the wireless communication module through the UART interface, and the wireless communication module uploads the fused express information to the express system. During the operation, the data processing module transmits it to the display module through the SPI interface, and the display screen displays the corresponding information. Then the express is stored in the corresponding shelf position to complete the warehousing.

[0052] When the customer provides information such as mobile phone number and sequence code, the information is inputted using the keyboard and transmitted to the data processing module using the I / O interface, and then transmitted to the wireless communication module through the UART interface. The wireless communication module interacts with the corresponding express system through WiFi to obtain the corresponding express information, and transmits it to the data processing module through the UART interface. The data processing module transmits it to the display module through the SPI interface, which displays the corresponding express information. The corresponding express can be found quickly according to the express sequence code. The keyboard is used to give the order to leave the warehouse, and it is transmitted to the data processing module using the I / O interface. The data processing module transmits it to the wireless communication module through the UART interface. The wireless communication module communicates with the corresponding express system through WiFi, uploads the order information, and releases the sequence code for the next express to use. The warehouse is completed.
