DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, this application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present application belongs. "Include" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0026] The existing unmanned warehouse material warehousing / exit method usually determines the material storage location after entering an instruction, and then searches for the corresponding shelves one by one according to the storage location, such as the shelf number, to store / take the material. It takes a certain amount of time for staff to find the shelves, especially for those who are not familiar with the internal environment of the unmanned warehouse. The search process is even slower, which will greatly reduce the efficiency of warehousing / exit, and also reduce the accuracy and safety of material warehousing.

[0027] Furthermore, as materials enter and leave the warehouse, unattended inventory changes, requiring regular inventory checks to prevent errors and omissions. Existing inventory methods require staff to count each item individually by type and quantity, which is inefficient and prone to errors.

[0028] Below, through specific embodiments and combined Figures 1 to 4 To describe the technical solution of this application in detail.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, a material warehousing method for an unmanned warehouse is provided, wherein the unmanned warehouse includes a host 3 and a movable door 1, an operating table 2 and a plurality of storage cabinets 4 that are communicatively connected to the host 3, each storage cabinet 4 is provided with a plurality of storage baskets 5, and a first indicator light 4-1 is provided corresponding to each storage cabinet 4, and a second indicator light 5-1 is provided corresponding to each storage basket 5.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the unmanned warehouse includes a host computer 3, a movable door 1, an operating console 2, and a storage cabinet 4. The host computer 3 is, for example, an integrated control cabinet, which is the core component of the warehouse and enables interconnection and interoperability among the various components within the unmanned warehouse. The movable door 1 is set on one side of the unmanned warehouse for users and materials to enter and exit. It can be used in conjunction with an access control system 1-1 to open or close the movable door 1 after the user meets the permission requirements. The operating console 2 is, for example, an intelligent terminal, including a keyboard, mouse, display, and a code scanning device. The code scanning device is, for example, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag scanner, which can scan the RFID tag of the material to confirm the information. The keyboard and mouse can control the display interface of the display and input various commands. The storage cabinet 4 is, for example, an intelligent shelf, with a first indicator light 4-1, such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode), provided on the side wall to indicate the storage cabinet 4. The storage cabinet 4 has multiple shelves, each shelf of which can be equipped with multiple storage baskets 5. Each storage basket 5 is used to store a single material to avoid storage errors. A second indicator light 5-1, such as an LED light, is provided on the side of each shelf corresponding to the storage basket 5 to indicate the storage basket 5. A small ink screen can also be provided next to each second indicator light 5-1 to display information such as the name of the material in the storage basket 5.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the material warehousing method includes the following steps:

[0032] S1. Open the movable door 1 and close the movable door 1 after confirming that a user has entered the unmanned warehouse.

[0033] After a user obtains authorization through access control 1-1, host 3 can automatically open mobile door 1. Once the user enters the unmanned warehouse, mobile door 1 automatically closes, ensuring the safety of both materials and users. Determining whether a user has entered the unmanned warehouse can be accomplished by, for example, setting up sensors to detect the user's location or by using a surveillance system to identify the user's location through image recognition. This is not discussed further here.

[0034] S2. Input the material storage instruction through the operation console 2, and match the radio frequency identification information and storage location information of each material to be stored one by one.

[0035] The materials to be put into storage can be one or more, each affixed with a unique RFID tag containing its RFID information. Material entry instructions are entered through console 2, and each material is associated with a unique RFID information and storage location. This allows for precise mapping of materials and storage locations, preventing confusion. RFID information, representing the material's identity code, includes information such as the material's type and code, such as "Part A - Code 312b." Storage location information, representing the specific storage location of the material, includes the corresponding storage cabinet 4 and storage basket 5 locations, such as "Storage cabinet 43 - Storage basket 55."

[0036] S3. Identify the first radio frequency identification information of the first material through the code scanning device of the operating table 2, and determine the first storage location information corresponding to the first material according to the first radio frequency identification information.

[0037] The first material is any material that is about to be put into storage, and the scanning device scans the radio frequency identification tag of the first material to identify the corresponding first radio frequency identification information, and obtains the first storage location information corresponding to the first material according to the first radio frequency identification information.

[0038] S4. Turn on the first indicator light 4-1 on the storage cabinet 4 where the first material will be stored according to the first storage location information, turn on the second indicator light 5-1 on the storage basket 5 where the first material will be stored, and store the first material.

[0039] The host 3 turns on the first indicator light 4-1 of the target storage cabinet 4 and the second indicator light 5-1 of the target storage basket 5 according to the first storage location information, so that the user can quickly locate the material storage location through the dual-level lights, reducing the search time and improving efficiency.

[0040] S5. Input the first material storage completion instruction through the operation console 2, and turn off the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1.

[0041] After the user deposits the materials, he can send a completion instruction through the operating console 2, and the host 3 can turn off the corresponding indicator light to prevent the light from interfering with subsequent operations.

[0042] By setting the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1, it is convenient for users to confirm the location where the materials will be stored in the warehouse, thereby improving storage efficiency; after inputting the material storage instruction, the radio frequency identification information and storage location information are matched one by one for each material, and the first radio frequency identification information of any first material is identified by the code scanning device, and the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1 corresponding to the first storage location information are turned on. The user determines the corresponding storage cabinet 4 and storage basket 5 according to the light position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of material storage and avoiding accidental entry into other areas and causing safety problems.

[0043] The material warehousing method of this unmanned warehouse is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the material warehousing efficiency, has high accuracy and strong security.

[0044] In some embodiments, the material warehousing method further includes:

[0045] S201 . Input the material storage instruction through the operating console 2 and lock the movable door 1 .

[0046] After the user enters the warehousing instruction, the host 3 can immediately lock the movable door 1 to prevent the user from leaving midway, causing process interruption or material loss, thereby ensuring the safety of the user and materials.

[0047] S501. Input the instruction for completing the storage of all materials through the operation console 2 and unlock the movable door 1.

[0048] After the user has finished storing all materials, he can input the instruction of completing the storage of all materials. The host 3 can unlock the movable door 1 so that the user can leave and complete the storage process. The door lock control forces the user to complete the current task, avoiding misoperation or safety hazards.

[0049] In some embodiments, the movable door is provided with an emergency door opening switch. If a dangerous situation occurs, the emergency door opening switch can be triggered to release the lock and open the door.

[0050] In some embodiments, a first radio frequency identification sensor 6 is provided in the unattended warehouse. The first radio frequency identification sensor 6 is located above the movable door 1 , and its identification range covers a portion of the space inside the movable door 1 .

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, a first radio frequency identification sensor 6 is provided above the movable door 1, and its recognition range is shown by the dotted line in the figure, which can cover the area inside the movable door 1 and the area inside part of the unmanned warehouse. The recognition range is spaced apart from the operating table 2 and the storage cabinet 4 to avoid interfering with material access.

[0052] In some embodiments, step S501 unlocks the movable door 1, and then includes:

[0053] S6. When the first RFID sensor 6 recognizes RFID information within its recognition range, the sliding door 1 is locked.

[0054] After unlocking the mobile door 1, the user will leave the unattended warehouse through the mobile door 1. At this time, if the first RFID sensor 6 recognizes the RFID information, it means that the user may be carrying unauthorized materials. The host 3 can re-lock the mobile door 1 to prevent the user from mistakenly taking out materials, thereby enhancing the safety management of warehouse materials.

[0055] After locking the movable door 1, the user checks the materials that he or she has mistakenly brought, scans the materials through the operation console 2, determines the location information, and then stores the materials. After entering a completion instruction on the operation console 2, the movable door 1 is unlocked again.

[0056] In some embodiments, a display terminal 10 is provided in the unmanned warehouse, and the display terminal 10 is in communication with the host 3. Figure 3 As shown, a display terminal 10 is provided near the movable door 1 and the operating table 2 in the unmanned warehouse, which can display information such as the material storage status, temperature, humidity, and material changes in the warehouse to facilitate user reminders.

[0057] In some embodiments, the material warehousing method further includes:

[0058] S7 . When the first RFID sensor 6 identifies RFID information within its identification range, the display terminal 10 displays the first alarm information.

[0059] When the first RFID sensor 6 detects unauthorized materials, the display terminal 10 may pop up a first alarm message, which may include a material error prompt text and display abnormal material information, thereby improving the efficiency of abnormality handling through a visual interface.

[0060] In some embodiments, a weight sensor can be added to the bottom of each storage basket 5, corresponding to each material, and linked to the RFID verification method. For example, when matching the RFID information and storage location information of each material to be stored, the RFID information also includes the material's weight information. This weight information can be pre-stored or entered on-site. An electronic scale can be installed at the operating console 2 to measure the actual weight of the material. After the first RFID information of the first material is identified by the barcode scanning device of the operating console 2 and the first storage location information corresponding to the first material is determined, the first weight of the storage basket 5 is first measured using the weight sensor corresponding to the first storage location information, and then the first material is stored. After the first material storage completion instruction is input, the second weight of the storage basket 5 is measured. The difference between the second weight and the first weight is the change weight. If the change weight is not equal to the measured weight of the first material, or the deviation exceeds a threshold, it indicates that the material has been stored incorrectly or the RFID tag has been affixed incorrectly. A fourth alarm message can be issued to remind the user to re-deposit the first material until the first material is stored correctly, thereby resolving the alarm and improving storage accuracy. The threshold value is, for example, ±10% of the measured weight of the first material, which is not specifically limited.

[0061] Some embodiments of the present application provide a method for unmanned warehouse material delivery, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0062] S1′, opening the movable door 1 and closing the movable door 1 after confirming that a user has entered the unattended warehouse.

[0063] After the user passes the authorization verification, host 3 controls the opening of mobile door 1. After the user enters the warehouse, mobile door 1 automatically closes. The opening and closing of mobile door 1 is controlled by host 3, ensuring that the warehouse remains closed after the user enters, preventing unauthorized access and improving security.

[0064] S2', inputting the material outbound instruction through the operation console 2, and determining the list of materials to be outbound.

[0065] The user enters the material outbound instruction through the operation console 2, selects the materials to be outbound, generates a material list and displays it on the operation console 2 interface.

[0066] S3', inputting a second material delivery instruction corresponding to the second material in the material list through the operation console 2, and determining the stored second RFID information and second storage location information of the second material.

[0067] The second material is any material in the bill of materials. The user inputs a second material delivery instruction to determine the corresponding second radio frequency identification information and second storage location information.

[0068] S4', turning on the first indicator light 4-1 on the storage cabinet 4 storing the second material and turning on the second indicator light 5-1 on the storage basket 5 storing the second material according to the second storage location information, and obtaining the second material.

[0069] Based on the second storage location information, the host 3 controls the first indicator light 4-1 of the corresponding storage cabinet 4 and the second indicator light 5-1 of the storage basket 5 to turn on. The dual-level indicator lights guide the user to quickly locate the target storage cabinet 4 and storage basket 5, shortening the search time and improving the efficiency of outbound delivery.

[0070] S5', verifying the actual second RFID information of the second material obtained by the code scanning device of the operating table 2, and turning off the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1 after the verification is passed.

[0071] After the user obtains the second material, he needs to take it to the operating table 2 for radio frequency identification, determine the actual second radio frequency identification information and compare it with the stored second radio frequency identification information to avoid taking the wrong second material. After verification, turn off the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1 to avoid light interference with subsequent operations.

[0072] By setting the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1, it is convenient for users to confirm the storage location of the materials to be shipped out, thereby improving the efficiency of picking up. After inputting the material shipping instruction, the material list is determined, and the corresponding RFID information and storage location information of each material are clarified. The second RFID information of the second material in any material list is identified by the scanning device, and the first indicator light 4-1 and the second indicator light 5-1 corresponding to the second storage location information are turned on. The user determines the corresponding storage cabinet 4 and storage basket 5 according to the light position, ensuring the accuracy of picking up materials and avoiding entering other areas by mistake and causing safety problems. After the user takes the second material, the actual second RFID information of the second material obtained by the scanning device of the operating console 2 is also required to be verified to avoid taking the wrong material.

[0073] The material outbound method of this unmanned warehouse is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the efficiency of material outbound delivery, and has high accuracy and strong security.

[0074] In some embodiments, performing verification includes:

[0075] S501′: When the actual second RFID information is identical to the stored second RFID information, the verification is successful.

[0076] S502′: When the actual second RFID information is different from the stored second RFID information, the verification fails.

[0077] When the user places the material in the scanning area, the host 3 compares the actually scanned second RFID information with the stored second RFID information. If the information is the same, it means that the verification is passed, and "Successful outbound delivery" can be displayed on the operating console 2. If the information is different, it means that the verification fails, and "Error: Material Mismatch" can be displayed on the operating console 2, and the indicator light is continuously on, so that the user can get the correct material again to prevent human operation errors or material mixing problems.

[0078] This process can compare only the type of RFID information, rather than the specific number. This means that if the type is the same, the information is identical. Furthermore, if other information in the RFID information differs, the material list on console 2 will replace the previously selected second material of the same type with the second material to improve delivery efficiency. In pumped-storage power plants, users often retrieve materials for emergency purposes, such as emergency repairs. In these situations, users are more concerned with the specific performance of the material, namely the type, rather than the specific number. Determining only the type can improve subsequent work efficiency and ensure power plant safety.

[0079] In some embodiments, the material delivery method further includes:

[0080] S201 ′, input the material outbound instruction through the operating console 2 and lock the movable door 1 .

[0081] After the user inputs the material outbound instruction, the host 3 can immediately lock the movable door 1 to prevent the user from leaving midway, causing process interruption or material loss, thereby ensuring the safety of the user and the materials.

[0082] S503 ′: input the instruction of completing the delivery of all materials through the operation console 2 , and unlock the movable door 1 .

[0083] After the user has completed the delivery of all materials, he can enter the complete delivery command, and the host 3 can unlock the movable door 1 to allow the user to leave, completing the delivery process. The door lock control forces the user to complete the current task, avoiding misoperation or safety hazards.

[0084] In some embodiments, step S503′ unlocks the movable door 1, and then includes:

[0085] S6′, obtaining, by the first RFID sensor 6, RFID information identified within its identification range.

[0086] After the movable door 1 is unlocked, the user will leave the warehouse with the materials he has taken. The first RFID sensor 6 above the movable door 1 is activated to scan the RFID tag of the materials carried by the user to obtain RFID information.

[0087] S7′: When the identified RFID information is inconsistent with the second RFID information of all the second materials in the bill of materials, locking the movable door 1 .

[0088] If the recognized RFID information is inconsistent with all the second RFID information in the bill of materials, for example, the number of recognized RFID information is different from the number of all the second RFID information in the bill of materials, and / or the type of recognized RFID information is different from the type of all the second RFID information in the bill of materials, it means that the user has taken the wrong material, taken too much or too little material, etc. At this time, the movable door 1 needs to be locked again to remind the user to check the materials to be shipped out and make timely adjustments. After the recognized RFID information is completely consistent with all the second RFID information in the bill of materials, the movable door 1 is unlocked again to ensure the accuracy of shipping out and the safety of materials and users.

[0089] In some embodiments, a smart recycling bin can be added next to the movable door 1. Generally, the situation where the identified RFID information is inconsistent with all the second RFID information in the bill of materials is that the user has taken extra materials by mistake. At this time, the user can put the extra materials into the smart recycling bin, the smart recycling bin is locked, and then the user performs RFID again. After the verification is passed, the movable door 1 is unlocked so that the materials can be quickly shipped out for power station maintenance.

[0090] In some embodiments, the material delivery method further includes:

[0091] S8′: when the actual second RFID information is different from the stored second RFID information, display the second alarm information via the display terminal 10 .

[0092] During the process of the second material being shipped out of the warehouse, if the actual second RFID information is different from the stored second RFID information, it means that the second material has been taken incorrectly. A second alarm message, such as "Error: Please confirm whether the material is correct", can be popped up on the display terminal 10 to prompt the user to check and adjust until the information is consistent and the alarm is lifted.

[0093] S9′: when the identified RFID information is inconsistent with the second RFID information of all the second materials in the bill of materials, display a third alarm message through the display terminal 10.

[0094] When the aforementioned user completes the shipment of all materials and leaves the warehouse, if the identified RFID information is inconsistent with all the second RFID information in the bill of materials, it means that the shipment is wrong. A third alarm message, such as "Warning: Wrong material carried", can be popped up on the display terminal 10 to prompt the user to check and adjust until the information is consistent and the alarm is lifted.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, a method for counting materials after entering / exiting an unmanned warehouse is provided. A second radio frequency identification sensor 7 is provided in the unmanned warehouse. The second radio frequency identification sensor 7 is located above the operating table 2, and its recognition range covers the entire space in the unmanned warehouse.

[0096] like Figure 3 As shown, a second RFID sensor 7 is also provided in the warehouse, which can identify RFID tags within the entire warehouse to facilitate material inventory.

[0097] In some embodiments, the material inventory method includes:

[0098] S8. Acquire all actual RFID information of the unmanned warehouse through the second RFID sensor 7.

[0099] After the inventory command is input, the second RFID sensor 7 can obtain all actual RFID information in the warehouse.

[0100] S9. Obtain the stored radio frequency identification information of all the stored materials through the operating platform 2.

[0101] The stored RFID information of all stored materials, that is, the RFID information of the materials currently in the warehouse that has been recorded in the system.

[0102] S10. Perform material inventory based on the actual RFID information and the stored RFID information.

[0103] The host 3 compares the actual RFID information with the stored RFID information and can generate an inventory record, such as an inventory accuracy record or an inventory difference record, etc., to achieve automated inventory management through full library scanning and reduce manual inventory errors.

[0104] In some embodiments, the performing of material inventory based on the actual RFID information and the stored RFID information includes:

[0105] S1001. When the actual RFID information is completely consistent with the stored RFID information, an inventory accuracy record is generated.

[0106] Verify that system records are consistent with actual materials to ensure the reliability of inventory data.

[0107] S1002: When the actual RFID information is inconsistent with the stored RFID information, an inventory difference record is generated.

[0108] If the actual RFID information is inconsistent with the stored RFID information, for example, the material type and / or material quantity are inconsistent, an inventory difference record is generated and can be displayed on the display terminal 10 .

[0109] In some embodiments, the inventory difference records mainly include inventory error records, inventory shortage records and inventory surplus records, and the specific details are as follows.

[0110] S1003: When the actual RFID information and the stored RFID information are consistent in quantity but inconsistent in type, an inventory error record is generated.

[0111] The actual material quantity is consistent with that in the system, but the type is inconsistent. This may be caused by an error in the material tag binding. At this time, an inventory error record is generated, and the display terminal 10 can display the erroneous material information for adjustment.

[0112] S1004: When the quantity of the actual RFID information is less than the quantity of the stored RFID information, and the types of all the actual RFID information are included in the types of the stored RFID information, a shortage record is generated.

[0113] The actual material quantity is less than the system material quantity, while the actual material types all belong to the system material types, which may be caused by material loss. This generates a shortage record, and the display terminal 10 can display the missing material information for adjustment.

[0114] S1005: When the quantity of the actual RFID information is greater than the quantity of the stored RFID information, and the types of the actual RFID information include all the types of the stored RFID information, an inventory surplus record is generated.

[0115] The actual material quantity is greater than the system material quantity, and the system material types all belong to the actual material types. This may be caused by abnormal entry of unauthorized materials. This generates an inventory surplus record, and the display terminal 10 can display the excess material information for adjustment.

[0116] In some embodiments, after generating the inventory error record, the method further includes:

[0117] S10031. Check whether the material corresponding to the actual RFID information and the stored RFID information that differ is located in the unattended warehouse.

[0118] Users can check whether the materials are located in the unmanned warehouse by themselves, or use the monitoring system to identify the materials. I will not go into details here.

[0119] S10032. When the material corresponding to the actual RFID information is located in the unattended warehouse, the stored RFID information with the discrepancy is invalidated and updated to the actual RFID information corresponding to the material.

[0120] This situation may be due to errors in the RFID information already entered into the system. It is necessary to invalidate the stored RFID information with differences and update it to the actual RFID information corresponding to the material to make the information consistent.

[0121] S10033. When the material corresponding to the stored RFID information is located in the unattended warehouse, the actual RFID information and the stored RFID information that are different are invalidated, and the corresponding actual RFID information and stored RFID information are added to the material.

[0122] This situation may be caused by the wrong label on the material. It is necessary to update the stored RFID information and the actual RFID information to make the information consistent overall.

[0123] In some embodiments, after generating the inventory loss record, the process includes:

[0124] S10041. Check whether the material corresponding to the different stored RFID information is located in the unattended warehouse.

[0125] Users can check whether the materials are located in the unmanned warehouse by themselves, or use the monitoring system to identify the materials. I will not go into details here.

[0126] S10042. When the material is located in the unmanned warehouse, the stored radio frequency identification information corresponding to the material is updated.

[0127] This situation may be caused by a malfunction of the material tag. A new RFID tag will need to be provided and the stored RFID information corresponding to the material will be updated to ensure consistency. If the material is not in the warehouse, it may be lost and the material's movement records or monitoring system will need to be retrieved for verification.

[0128] In some embodiments, after generating the inventory overage record, the process includes:

[0129] S10051. Check whether the material corresponding to the actual RFID information with differences is located in the unattended warehouse.

[0130] Users can check whether the materials are located in the unmanned warehouse by themselves, or use the monitoring system to identify the materials. I will not go into details here.

[0131] S10052. When the material is not located in the unmanned warehouse, the actual radio frequency identification information corresponding to the material is invalidated.

[0132] This situation may be caused by the material label being left on site, and the actual RFID information corresponding to the material needs to be invalidated to make the information consistent. If the material is located in the warehouse, it may have been forgotten to be recorded in the system when the material was put into the warehouse, and the material entry operation needs to be supplemented.

[0133] In some embodiments, the material inventory method further includes:

[0134] S11 . When the actual RFID information is inconsistent with the stored RFID information, the display terminal 10 displays inventory difference information.

[0135] When a discrepancy occurs during inventory, the display terminal 10 may display specific discrepancy information, such as the type of material, storage location, etc., so that the user can make adjustments.

[0136] In some embodiments, a machine learning module can be added to the host 3 to record the actual frequency of each material entering or leaving the warehouse over a period of time. The storage location information and actual storage location of materials with an actual frequency greater than or equal to a preset frequency are adjusted, and the materials are adjusted to a storage cabinet 4 with a distance less than a preset distance from the operating table 2. At the same time, the storage location information and actual storage location of materials with an actual frequency less than the preset frequency are also adjusted, and the materials are adjusted to a storage cabinet 4 with a distance greater than or equal to a preset distance from the operating table 2, so as to improve the overall efficiency of material entry and exit. The period of time may be, for example, one month, the preset frequency may be, for example, five times / month, and the preset distance may be, for example, 5 meters, etc., without specific limitation.

[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, a method for controlling the entry / exit of materials in an unmanned warehouse is provided, wherein a plurality of somatosensory sensors 8 are provided in the unmanned warehouse, and the recognition range of the somatosensory sensors 8 covers part of the unmanned warehouse. The unmanned warehouse is also provided with lighting lamps 9 corresponding to the somatosensory sensors 8, and both the lighting lamps 9 and the somatosensory sensors 8 are communicatively connected to the host 3.

[0138] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of somatosensory sensors 8 and lighting lamps 9 are also provided in the warehouse. The recognition range of the somatosensory sensor 8 is, for example, a circular space formed with itself as the center and a radius of 1m. When the somatosensory sensor 8 detects that a user has entered the recognition range, the corresponding lighting lamp 9 will be turned on to facilitate the user's operation and avoid user errors in dim environments.

[0139] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0140] S12: Acquire user location information through the body sensor 8, and turn on the lighting lamp 9 according to the user location information.

[0141] The lighting 9 can be gradually turned on as the user moves, and turned off after a certain period of time when the user leaves the recognition range of the body sensor 8, to ensure safety and reduce energy consumption. The certain period of time is, for example, 30 seconds, which is not specifically limited.

[0142] In some embodiments, the unmanned warehouse may be equipped with a monitoring system, such as Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of cameras 11 are provided in the unmanned warehouse, which are in communication with the host 3. The cameras 11 can be set near the operating table 2 and between the storage cabinets 4 to monitor the entry and exit of materials to ensure safety.
