Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hospital box logistics management systems, and more specifically to a 3D model real-time display system for a box logistics system. Background Art
[0002] In modern hospitals, the efficient transportation of drugs, medical devices, and other supplies is crucial for ensuring the quality of medical services. Traditional hospital logistics systems mostly rely on manual handling and simple conveyor belts, which have problems such as low efficiency, easy errors, and difficulty in real-time monitoring. With the expansion of hospital scale and the increase in medical needs, traditional logistics methods have been difficult to meet the requirements of efficient, accurate, and safe material transportation. Therefore, box logistics and pneumatic logistics have emerged; however, the box logistics system still has the following problems:
[0003] 1. Lack of real-time monitoring and visualization
[0004] Inaccurate location information: Existing systems usually rely on RFID or sensors for positioning, but these technologies may not provide high-precision location information in complex environments (such as multi-floor and multi-channel).
[0005] No intuitive display: Most systems lack intuitive display means such as 3D topology maps, resulting in managers having difficulty comprehensively understanding the real-time location and operating status of turnover boxes.
[0006] 2. Single and insufficient monitoring means
[0007] Lack of video monitoring: There is a lack of camera monitoring at key positions. Even if there is video monitoring, it is not integrated with the logistics system, making it impossible to view and trace in real time.
[0008] Insufficient anomaly detection: Existing anomaly detection means are relatively limited, mainly relying on sensor alarms, and it is impossible to detect and handle some complex anomalies (such as equipment failures and path blockages) in a timely manner.
[0009] 3. Imperfect anomaly handling mechanism
[0010] Single alarm method: Most systems only notify anomalies through a display screen or text message, lacking more intuitive reminder methods such as voice alarms and box flashing, resulting in a slow response speed.
[0011] Irregular handling process: When an anomaly occurs, there is a lack of standardized operating procedures, which easily causes chaos and affects the overall logistics efficiency.
[0012] 4. Poor data recording and traceability capabilities
[0013] Incomplete sending and receiving confirmation: The existing system has incomplete records of the sending and receiving times of the turnover boxes, making it difficult to achieve full traceability and increasing the risk of material loss or delay.
[0014] Scattered data management: The data management in different links is relatively independent, lacking a unified platform for centralized management and analysis, which affects the scientificity and accuracy of decision-making.
[0015] 5. Poor user experience
[0016] Complicated operation: The user interface of the existing system is not friendly enough, and the operation steps are cumbersome, increasing the workload of medical staff.
[0017] Unprompted feedback: The system feedback mechanism is not perfect, and users cannot quickly obtain support and solutions when encountering problems.
[0018] Therefore, in view of the above problems existing in the hospital box logistics, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to solve them. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0062] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a 3D model real-time display system for a box-type logistics system, which adopts a hierarchical architecture design and includes a perception layer, a data layer, a service layer, and an application layer, as Figure 1 shown:
[0063] Perception layer: Deploy sensors such as RFID tags, lidar, UWB base stations, and cameras in the hardware structure of the hospital box-type logistics to collect environmental and equipment data of the logistics track and nodes in real time.
[0064] Data layer: Implement data preprocessing and fusion through edge computing devices, and combine blockchain nodes to implement data storage and certification. By deploying edge computing units at key monitoring nodes, low-latency data processing and preliminary anomaly determination are realized to ensure the system response speed and stability.
[0065] Service layer: Build a digital twin model based on the Unity3D engine, and combine a deep learning model for anomaly detection and prediction.
[0066] Application layer: Provide 3D visualization interfaces, multi-modal interaction interfaces, and data analysis report functions.
[0067] Referring to Figure 2 shown, the 3D model real-time display system of the box-type logistics system includes the following modules:
[0068] 1. Data acquisition module, which is used to collect the position, motion state and environmental information of the turnover box in real time through a variety of sensors set on the logistics track and nodes; the variety of sensors include: RFID, lidar, UWB and cameras.
[0069] Sensor layout and installation:
[0070] Install RFID readers at the logistics track and key nodes (such as turns, sorting stations, buffer areas, transplant machines, hoist entrances and exits, etc.) to achieve identity identification and location punching of each turnover box. For example: The RFID tag adopts a dual-frequency design (125kHz low-frequency wake-up + 920MHz high-frequency communication), and the reader is deployed every 5 meters at the track nodes to achieve accurate identification of the turnover box ID.
[0071] Deploy lidar (LiDAR), Velodyne VLP-16, with an installation height of 2.5m and a horizontal scanning angle of 270°, to generate a point cloud map (resolution 5cm), which is used to scan the surrounding environment and static obstacles such as track racks and walls to ensure high-precision positioning within complex geometric structures.
[0072] Use ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning equipment for high-precision distance measurement, which is suitable for multi-floor and multi-channel scenarios. The UWB positioning base stations are arranged according to the TDoA principle, and 4 base stations are deployed at the corridor intersections to form a positioning grid, with a time synchronization accuracy of ±10ns, achieving a three-dimensional space positioning error < 15cm.
[0073] Install high-definition cameras at the nodes (hoist entrances and exits) and corridors, which are used for video surveillance and can also assist in visual positioning to extract environmental image information. The camera uses Hikvision DS-2CD3326D double-ball cameras, and a fish-eye lens (horizontal field of view 180°) is deployed in the sorting area, and H.265 coding is used to reduce the bandwidth.
[0074] Data acquisition communication: All sensor data is uploaded to the edge computing device through a low-power wireless network (such as ZigBee, LoRa or an Internet of Things gateway based on the MQTT protocol) to ensure low latency and stability of data transmission.
[0075] The synchronization mechanism uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) or the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to stamp a unified timestamp on each sensor based on the server system, which is convenient for subsequent data fusion.
[0076] 2. Data fusion processing module, which uses the edge computing device to preprocess the collected data and realizes multi-sensor data fusion based on Kalman filtering, particle filtering and deep learning algorithms, which can improve the positioning accuracy and robustness in complex environments.
[0077] Refer to Figure 3Specifically, it includes:
[0078] Edge preprocessing unit: First, filter the original data (such as mean filtering and Kalman filtering preprocessing) and remove outliers to reduce the impact of noise. Data normalization ensures that different sensor data have a unified dimension, facilitating the input of subsequent deep learning models.
[0079] Multi-sensor data fusion unit: Use the Kalman filter to achieve continuous state estimation and smoothly predict the movement trajectory of the turnover box; combine the particle filter method to process non-Gaussian distributed noise data and adapt to dynamic environmental changes; for example, the data of each channel can be further fused by deploying a deep learning model (such as the combination of a convolutional neural network and a time series model) to output high-precision position information and state judgment results.
[0080] Among them, the Kalman filter algorithm for the smooth prediction of the movement trajectory of the turnover box is as follows:
[0081] (1) Model definition: Assume that the turnover box moves in a uniform straight line on the horizontal plane (X-Y plane), and the state vector is defined as:
[0082]
[0083] Where: p x , p y represent the positions on the X and Y axes (unit: meter); v x , v y represent the velocities on the X and Y axes (unit: meter per second).
[0084] Adopt a uniform motion model, and the state transition equation is:
[0085] x k = F·x k-1 + w k w k represents the process noise.
[0086] The state transition matrix F is:
[0087]
[0088] Among them, Δt is the sensor sampling interval (example value: Δt = 0.1 second).
[0089] Process noise: Assume that the acceleration perturbation follows a Gaussian distribution, and the process noise covariance matrix Q is:
[0090]
[0091] Where, σ a is the standard deviation of the acceleration noise (example value: σ a = 0.2m / s2 )。
[0092] (2) Measurement model
[0093] Observed variable: Assume that the UWB sensor is used to measure the position, and the observation vector is:
[0094]
[0095] Observation matrix H: Only observe the position and ignore the speed:
[0096]
[0097] Measurement noise covariance R: According to the UWB positioning accuracy (example error: ±0.15 m):
[0098]
[0099] (3) Kalman filtering process
[0100] Initialization: Initial state : Set p according to the first measurement value x , p y , speed v x , v y = 0.
[0101] Initial covariance P0:
[0102]
[0103] (Assume the initial position uncertainty is 10 m and the speed uncertainty is 1 m / s).
[0104] Iterative steps:
[0105] 1) Prediction stage:
[0106] State prediction:
[0107]
[0108] Covariance prediction:
[0109]
[0110] 2) Update stage:
[0111] Calculate the Kalman gain:
[0112]
[0113] State correction:
[0114]
[0115] Covariance Update:
[0116]
[0117] (4) Physical Meaning and Tuning of Parameters
[0118] 4.1 Process Noise Covariance Q: Reflects the tolerance of the model to acceleration disturbances. If the turnover box moves with frequent speed changes (such as sudden stops and accelerations), it is necessary to increase σ a . Tuning method: The standard deviation of acceleration can be calculated through historical data.
[0119] 4.2 Measurement Noise Covariance R: Directly depends on the sensor accuracy. When fusing lidar (error ±0.05 meters), it is necessary to adjust R to:
[0120]
[0121] 4.3 Covariance Initialization P0: When the initial uncertainty is large (such as cold start), it is necessary to increase the diagonal values of P0 to accelerate convergence.
[0122] (5) Extension of Multi-Sensor Fusion
[0123] If UWB and lidar are used simultaneously:
[0124] Observation Vector Extension:
[0125]
[0126] Observation Matrix:
[0127]
[0128] Measurement Noise R:
[0129]
[0130] (6) Output Results
[0131] Smoothing Position: : The position after filtering, with noise suppression.
[0132] Velocity Estimation: : Used to predict future trajectories.
[0133] Uncertainty Measure: Covariance Matrix P k The diagonal elements reflect the estimation errors of position and velocity.
[0134] Finally, through Kalman filtering, the measurement noise is effectively suppressed, the trajectory is smoothed, and the velocity estimation is stable, meeting the requirements of the hospital logistics system for high-precision real-time monitoring.
[0135] Particle Filtering Process:
[0136] 1) Particle initialization: Generate N = 1000 particles, and the initial positions follow a Gaussian distribution N(μ0, ∑0), where μ0 is the initial measurement value, and ∑0 = diag([0.5 2 , 0.5 2 ).
[0137] 2) State prediction: Each particle propagates according to the motion model, and process noise w k ~N(0, Q k ) is added.
[0138] 3) Weight calculation: Calculate the particle weights according to the observation value z k and normalize them.
[0139] 4) Resampling: Use systematic resampling to retain high-weight particles and avoid degeneracy.
[0140] 5) State estimation: Output the particle mean as the final position estimate.
[0141] Particle filtering is used to handle non-Gaussian noise (such as multipath interference), runs in parallel with Kalman filtering, and the results are weighted and fused.
[0142] The dynamic perception unit combines lidar and visual positioning cameras to collect environmental change data in real time, ensuring that the 3D model can be updated in a timely manner, such as new obstacles, channel changes, etc.;
[0143] Use image recognition algorithms to identify target objects in the environment and map their geometric positions into the 3D model to achieve dynamic environmental updates.
[0144] The video surveillance and analysis unit applies machine vision algorithms (such as convolutional neural networks) to analyze the video stream collected by the camera to detect abnormalities such as damage and deformation of the appearance of the turnover box. In addition, regarding the protection of personnel privacy, YOLOv5s is used to detect the face area, and the differential privacy algorithm is used to perform Gaussian blur (σ = 3.0) on the ROI area to occlude the real-time facial information of unauthorized viewers to ensure privacy protection.
[0145] 1) YOLOv5s face detection
[0146] Model configuration:
[0147] Input resolution: 640×640, and the anchor boxes are optimized for faces (size 16×16 to 64×64).
[0148] Training dataset: WIDER FACE (annotate the face area, and data augmentation includes random cropping and rotation).
[0149] Inference parameters:
[0150] Confidence threshold: 0.6, NMS threshold: 0.4.
[0151] After detecting a human face, the ROI area is cropped to 64×64 pixels.
[0152] 2) Differential privacy blurring
[0153] Gaussian blur parameter: kernel size
[0154] 15×15, standard deviation σ = 3.0.
[0155] Permission control: Based on the RBAC model, blurring is automatically triggered when unauthorized personnel view.
[0156] 3. 3D digital twin display module, which constructs a high-precision 3D model of the hospital interior or logistics scenario based on the Unity3D engine, and realizes the dynamic rendering of the real-time position, movement trajectory and status of the turnover box according to the data fusion information; the display effect is as Figure 4 shown. Based on the basic models of each ward and pharmacy in the hospital, by constructing a virtual model of the logistics system, it realizes real-time data interaction with the actual equipment and environment, forming a closed-loop monitoring and management mode of virtual-real interconnection; among them, DT represents the transfer machine and LT represents the elevator; the upper area in the figure is a clickable button for displaying the corresponding data information or display effect.
[0157] Refer to Figure 5 shown, the 3D digital twin display module specifically includes:

Apply particle effects or custom Shaders to visually highlight abnormal states.
[0160] Viewpoint switching unit, used for multi-angle dynamic display, supporting interactive switching of zooming, rotation, and free viewpoints (including horizontal view, top view, and oblique view); for example, users can adjust the viewpoint by dragging the mouse or gesture operation to observe the dynamic distribution and path planning effect of the transfer box in real time; the server dynamically loads 3D model data with the corresponding resolution according to the current viewpoint to ensure smooth rendering.
[0161] Node identification unit, which accesses the video surveillance footage into the 3D model, embeds camera graphic identifiers at key nodes (such as sorting stations, buffer areas, and elevator entrances and exits), and the identification unit is connected to the corresponding cameras in real time; after the user clicks on the identifier, the real-time video stream is called through the interface (for example, transmitted via the RTSP protocol), and the surveillance video is displayed in a pop-up window to achieve the linkage between the video and the 3D scene. And when the transport box passes through the camera surveillance range, the corresponding camera graphic identifier is highlighted or prominently displayed in a distinguishable color.
[0162] Path prediction visualization unit, which highlights the planned path of the transfer box, and based on historical transport data and real-time status, predicts the expected arrival time of the transfer box through regression analysis or machine learning models (such as random forest, neural network) and displays it on one side of the transfer box model; in addition, at the same time, it identifies potential congestion risk areas according to real-time load data and intuitively marks them on the 3D model using color gradients (such as red indicating high risk); this unit is dynamically updated based on data to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the displayed information.
[0163] 4.

[0166] Path deviation detection unit, which is used to detect whether the transfer box deviates from the planned transmission path; the system generates a standard transmission path during the planning stage, and obtains the actual path through real-time data collection, and uses the Euclidean distance and trajectory similarity algorithm to judge the deviation degree; when the deviation degree exceeds the tolerance range, it is regarded as an anomaly.
[0167] Equipment failure prediction unit, which uses a trained LSTM model to predict equipment failures for real-time data. Key operating parameters (such as vibration, temperature, current, etc.) of the equipment (such as transmission machinery, conveyor belts, lifting equipment) are collected to form time series data;
[0168] Using a deep learning model based on Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM), train the device operation data. The input layer of the model receives multi-dimensional sensor data, and the hidden layer adopts a multi-layer LSTM structure (which can be combined with Dropout to prevent overfitting), and the output predicts the failure probability within a future period of time;

[0182] Alarm unit, used to trigger local edge alarms and global early warnings when there are transmission delays and / or path deviations; alarm methods include voice prompts, flashing of relevant boxes in the 3D interface, text messages, and APP push. Early warning method: The system has a built-in preset alarm strategy: when the anomaly score exceeds the set threshold, immediately trigger an early warning through the following methods:
[0183] Path deviation detection algorithm process:
[0184] 1) Trajectory similarity calculation:
[0185] Use Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to compare the difference between the planned path P and the actual path Q.
[0186] Similarity score: Threshold S th = 0.7.
[0187] 2) Euclidean distance threshold: A vertical distance greater than 0.5 m between the real-time position and the planned path is regarded as deviation.

Ensure the authenticity and immutability of the data, and the whole process is traceable.
[0194] Query unit: Provide a Web-based query interface for authorized users, and use encryption authentication technology (such as OAuth2) to ensure secure access; users can retrieve the corresponding blockchain storage records according to conditions such as time, node, operator, etc., to realize the whole-process data audit. Authorized users can obtain historical logistics data and corresponding storage records through the query unit and generate reports to assist decision-making.

[0199] In addition, gesture recognition and touch input can be integrated to enable intuitive interaction on different terminals.
[0200] 7. Voice Assistant Module, by deploying speech recognition and natural language processing modules, supports users to input query instructions through Mandarin speech, such as "Query the status of the box in Channel 3" or "Locate the position of a certain box"; after the backend parses the instructions, it automatically calls the database and real-time data interface, returns the corresponding status information, and marks the positioning result on the 3D interface.
[0201] 8. Site Status Information Display Module, which integrates the site information database and obtains the site name, number, box position status, and remarks information in real time; in the 3D digital twin model, the status of each site is displayed using an overlay, and normal and abnormal statuses are distinguished by different colors and icons.
[0202] Global load visualization, generates a heat map based on real-time traffic data, and intuitively displays the logistics load in each area using color gradients (such as blue to red); uses a traffic curve graph to show the historical and current traffic change trends to assist managers in optimizing resource scheduling.
[0203] For example:
[0204] Taking the in-hospital box logistics system of a certain hospital as an example, the implementation process and key technology realization of each module are described in detail:
[0205] 1. Overall System Architecture
[0206] Hardware Deployment:
[0207] Install RFID readers, lidar, UWB locators, and high-definition cameras at each key logistics node within the hospital;
[0208] Configure edge computing devices (with GPU acceleration capabilities) in corridors and sorting areas for preprocessing and real-time data analysis;
[0209] Deploy cloud platform servers in the data center to build data fusion, deep learning model training, and blockchain networks;
[0210] Configure local speakers, display terminals, and mobile terminals to form an omni-channel early warning system.
[0211] Software platform:
[0212] The front-end uses the Unity3D engine to develop a 3D digital twin display platform, integrating VR / AR interaction modules and perspective switching functions;
[0213] The back-end adopts a microservices architecture to achieve data collection, fusion, anomaly detection, alarm, and blockchain data storage and proof. Services communicate with each other through RESTful API or MQTT;
[0214] The database and the blockchain network jointly store and manage logistics data, and provide Web query and report generation interfaces.
[0215] 2. Implementation of data collection and fusion
[0216] The data collected by sensors is transmitted to edge computing devices in an encrypted manner through a dedicated gateway;
[0217] Edge devices use pre-deployed Kalman filtering and particle filtering algorithms to smooth the data and normalize the data at the same time;
[0218] The processed data is uploaded to the cloud platform through a secure channel. The deep learning model (deployed in the cloud or at the edge) fuses the information of each sensor in real time and outputs the accurate position information and status judgment of the turnover box.
[0219] 3. Implementation of 3D digital twin and interaction
[0220] Use Unity3D combined with laser scanning data to build a 3D model of the hospital interior, and pre-calibrate all stations and paths; the front-end program calls the cloud platform interface in real time to map the data fusion results into the 3D model to realize the dynamic update of the turnover box movement trajectory;
[0221] Users can view real-time monitoring videos, station status, and path prediction information through the PC side, tablet, or VR / AR terminal, using the perspective switching unit and node identification unit.
[0222] 4. Implementation of intelligent anomaly detection and early warning
[0223] The deep learning module uses trained CNN and LSTM networks to perform anomaly scoring on the collected data in real time; when transportation delays, path deviations, or equipment anomalies are detected, the edge device immediately triggers a local alarm and notifies the cloud platform for global early warning;
[0224] The system selects the corresponding alarm method according to the exception level: voice prompts are played by on-site speakers; the target box in the 3D interface flashes or highlights; at the same time, alarm information is notified to the duty personnel through text messages and APP push;
[0225] The fault prediction module outputs a prediction value according to the LSTM model, and pushes a fault risk warning to the equipment maintenance personnel in advance to ensure that maintenance measures are taken in advance.
[0226] 5. Implementation of data evidence preservation, analysis and report generation
[0227] After each piece of logistics data processed by fusion is calculated by digest, it is written into the blockchain through the blockchain unit to form an immutable evidence record;
[0228] Authorized users can retrieve blockchain data through the query unit to achieve full-process data auditing;
[0229] The data analysis module regularly extracts evidence data and background logs, generates heat maps, traffic curves, and statistical reports, providing data support for management to optimize scheduling and decision-making.
[0230] 6. Implementation of terminal display and user interaction
[0231] The site status information display module reads the site status data from the database in real time and superimposes it on the 3D model for display;
[0232] Users can not only adjust the viewing angle through touch and mouse operations through the multi-modal interaction module, but also use the voice assistant module to achieve quick query and positioning;
[0233] The system supports cross-platform synchronization to ensure that consistent real-time logistics status displays can be obtained on PC terminals, mobile terminals, and VR / AR terminals.
[0234] The usage scenario is described as follows: emergency drug transportation in the hospital operating room:
[0235] A certain tertiary hospital operating room suddenly needs to call a special anticoagulant drug. The pharmacy loads the drug into a turnover box (number BX-202503108001) and transports it from the 3rd floor pharmacy to the 8th floor operating room through the box-type logistics system. The full process of the system is as follows:
[0236] (1) Data acquisition stage
[0237] RFID trigger: When the turnover box is placed on the track, the Impinj R420 reader (operating frequency 902-928 MHz) at the pharmacy exit reads the RFID tag (NTAG 216) of the box and records the shipping time (2025-03-10 14:05:23.456)
[0238] UWB Positioning: After the box enters the track, four Decawave TREK1000 base stations deployed in the corridor calculate the three-dimensional coordinates in real time through the TDoA algorithm (X = 32.15m, Y = 15.78m, Z = 3.2m ± 0.1m).
[0239] LiDAR Synchronization: The SICK TIM571 LiDAR scans the track area at a frequency of 25Hz.
[0240] (2) Data Fusion Processing
[0241] Technical Implementation:
[0242] Multi-Sensor Calibration: The edge computing node (NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier) runs the following algorithm:
[0243] Time Alignment: Synchronize the clocks of each sensor through the PTP protocol (error < 1ms);
[0244] Kalman Filtering: Fuse the UWB coordinates and the LiDAR point cloud data to correct the UWB multipath interference caused by metal shelves;
[0245] Privacy Processing: When passing by the nurse station, the Hikvision camera triggers face blurring processing: YOLOv5 detects 3 face regions; apply Gaussian blur with σ = 3.0 to the ROI region;
[0246] (3) 3D Digital Twin Display
[0247] Dynamic Rendering: The Unity3D engine displays the moving trajectory of the turnover box (blue light band effect) in the floor model according to the fused coordinate data; automatic perspective switching: when the box approaches the elevator, you can click on the camera icon to display the real-time monitoring screen;
[0248] Congestion Warning: When the system detects that 3 boxes are queuing in the transfer area on the 5th floor, trigger:
[0249] Mark the red warning area in the 3D model; display that the estimated arrival time changes from 2 minutes to 3 minutes and 15 seconds;
[0250] (4) Anomaly Detection and Handling
[0251] Anomaly Event: When the turnover box stalls on the 4th floor track for more than 90 seconds (preset threshold):
[0252] LSTM Prediction: Analyze the motor current fluctuation data (sampling frequency 10kHz) to judge possible blockage of the conveyor belt;
[0253] Multi-Level Alarm:
[0254] Local alarm: The stagnant position flashes frequently on the 3D interface (Shader to achieve the Glow effect);
[0255] Global early warning: Push to the maintenance team via text message (Content: "4F_East_Conveyor is suspected of jamming, Priority: High");
[0256] Emergency handling: For example, update the recommended path in the 3D model (guided by green dashed arrows);
[0257] (5) Blockchain evidence storage
[0258] When the turnover box arrives at the operating room, generate an evidence storage data packet and call the smart contract to write it into the blockchain; Auditors can query the complete transportation record through the hospital intranet to verify whether the data hash values match.
[0259] Technical effect comparison
