Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an intelligent and efficient logistics system and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the efficiency of material transportation and transfer within shipyards severely impacts overall production progress. Shipyard logistics relies primarily on manual task statistics and scheduling, with operations arranged only through a single communication line. This hinders the effective coordination of all shipyard transportation resources. Shipyards employ a wide variety of engineering vehicles and cranes, requiring multiple vehicles and cranes to assist in a single transport task. Task completion necessitates cooperation from various resources, and manual communication suffers from slow response times and communication breakdowns, resulting in low task completion efficiency and significant resource consumption. Furthermore, dockside crane tasks rely on the previous day's forecasts of crane resource usage by engineering personnel—a planned management approach. Due to the numerous uncertainties in the ship repair industry, including weather, project schedules, and project progress, planned crane usage durations are inaccurate, and planned tasks fluctuate significantly, leading to low actual operational efficiency. Moreover, dockside cranes, shipyard forklifts, and shipyard truck cranes operate independently from transport vehicles, resulting in low task correlation. Currently available logistics systems primarily target cold chain transportation and express delivery, and in the specific application scenarios of shipbuilding, repair, and conversion plants, these logistics systems cannot be readily transferred to other areas. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a smart and efficient logistics system for shipyard logistics and transportation.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to achieve the above objectives is: a smart and efficient logistics system, comprising a basic layer, an application data layer, an application management layer, and a presentation layer. The system is connected to an asset management system, a comprehensive management system, a ship construction management system, and a ship repair management system via API interfaces. The basic layer consists of an MRSQL database, a cloud server, an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, an AI camera, a 5G communication system, and a positioning system. The application data layer consists of a log data storage system, a document data storage system, a business data storage system, and a cache data storage system. The application management layer consists of a task application system, an intelligent scheduling system, a transportation engineering equipment positioning system, and a transportation security system. The presentation layer consists of a PC terminal, WeChat Work, and a vehicle PAD terminal.
[0005] The task application system is used by departments to report planned tasks and temporary tasks based on production tasks.
[0006] The intelligent scheduling system is used to allocate temporary tasks according to rules. It requires the cooperation of various transportation engineering equipment to coordinate and prioritize tasks.
[0007] The transportation engineering equipment positioning system is used for real-time positioning of transportation engineering equipment within the resource pool, providing location information for the intelligent scheduling system.
[0008] The transportation security system is used for security monitoring of transport vehicles during the transportation of goods. It automatically alarms and can play back videos when security incidents occur.
[0009] The asset management system provides the material system with information on the safe operation status and scheduled maintenance of the equipment. When the equipment is damaged or under maintenance, it is removed from the resource pool and does not participate in the task dispatching of the scheduling system.
[0010] The integrated management system binds operator information to various types of transportation equipment. If any violations occur during the operation of the equipment, the bound operators can be subject to performance rewards and penalties.
[0011] The ship construction management system and ship repair management system can provide planned tasks for the logistics system.
[0012] Another technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above objectives is: a method of using an intelligent and efficient logistics system, comprising the following steps: a. Establish a transportation engineering equipment resource pool, which includes dock cranes, forklifts, transport vehicles, and truck cranes that participate in the scheduling system calculations; b. Establish a transportation task pool, which consists of planned tasks and temporary tasks. Planned tasks are transportation tasks with planned attributes submitted in advance based on on-site needs. Temporary tasks are applied for on-site after the ship repair management system and ship construction management system have the necessary transportation conditions. c. The main transportation task pool operates according to the planned tasks; d. The scheduling algorithm allocates tasks based on the reported transportation application tasks. When a temporary task is submitted by the user department, the system automatically generates it. Tasks that require multiple transportation engineering equipment are subject to strong correlation scheduling. e. If a request is made to use a dock crane, the user department selects the dock crane to be used, the start time of the operation, the items to be transported, and the estimated operation time in the task application system. After submission, the task arrives in the intelligent scheduling system. The intelligent scheduling system prioritizes planned tasks. After the planned tasks are completed, temporary tasks are carried out in the order they were submitted. On-site production management personnel and schedulers can manually prioritize tasks based on their urgency and intervene in temporary tasks on-site. f. If a forklift or truck crane is requested, the user department submits a task request in the task request system. After selecting the work start point and cargo information, the intelligent dispatch system allocates the available forklift or truck crane closest to the work start point in the area for task allocation, thus ensuring the planned tasks are completed. After the planned tasks are completed, temporary tasks are carried out in the order they were submitted. On-site production management personnel and dispatchers can manually prioritize tasks based on their urgency and intervene in temporary tasks on-site. g. If a transport vehicle is requested for long-distance material transfer, a task request is made in the task request system. The task request selects the task start point, task end point, task start time, transport duration, and whether dock cranes, nearby forklifts, and truck docks are needed for unloading. This temporary task is generated by the task request system. The intelligent scheduling system allocates tasks based on the available transport vehicles in the resource pool, ensuring the planned tasks are also completed. After the planned tasks are completed, the temporary tasks are carried out in the order they were submitted. On-site production management personnel and schedulers can manually prioritize the tasks based on their urgency and intervene in the temporary tasks on-site. h. After the transport vehicle begins its task, the intelligent dispatch system will remind the person responsible for receiving the goods in advance via mobile terminal, and automatically distribute the task to the task equipment according to the unloading status of other auxiliary engineering equipment. This task is of the highest priority, ensuring the unloading work of the transport vehicle and reducing the ineffective occupancy rate of the transport vehicle. If the transport vehicle does not perform unloading actions for a long time after arriving at the location, the intelligent dispatch system will automatically alarm.
[0013] This invention discloses a smart and efficient logistics system and its usage method, which is geared towards shipyard logistics operations. It unifies the scheduling of various engineering equipment involved in logistics operations in the shipyard, ensuring the efficient completion of temporary tasks while ensuring necessary planned tasks. Furthermore, the system unifies the scheduling of tasks that require the cooperation of multiple engineering equipment, reducing the occupancy rate of transport vehicles and improving transportation efficiency. Moreover, by implementing a composite management method of planned and temporary tasks through this system, the shortcomings of the original single planned task of dock cranes are solved, thereby improving the utilization rate of cranes.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the intelligent and efficient logistics system comprises a foundation layer, an application data layer, an application management layer, and a presentation layer. The system connects to the asset management system, comprehensive management system, shipbuilding management system, and ship repair management system via API interfaces. The foundation layer consists of an MRSQL database, cloud servers, an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, AI cameras, a 5G communication system, and a positioning system. The application data layer consists of a log data storage system, a document data storage system, a business data storage system, and a cache data storage system. The application management layer consists of a task application system, an intelligent scheduling system, a transportation engineering equipment positioning system, and a transportation security system. The presentation layer consists of a PC client, WeChat Work, and vehicle PADs. The task application system is used by user departments to report planned and temporary tasks based on production tasks. The intelligent scheduling system is used to process temporary tasks... Task allocation according to rules requires the cooperation of various transportation engineering equipment to coordinate transportation tasks and associate them as top-level tasks. The transportation engineering equipment positioning system is used for real-time positioning of transportation engineering equipment in the resource pool, providing location information for the intelligent scheduling system. The transportation security system is used for security monitoring of transport vehicles during the transportation of goods, automatically alarming and replaying videos in the event of security incidents. The asset management system provides the material system with the safe operation status and scheduled maintenance information of the equipment. When the equipment is damaged or under repair, the equipment is removed from the resource pool and does not participate in the task assignment of the scheduling system. The comprehensive management system binds operator information to various transportation equipment. When personnel operate the equipment, violations can be punished by setting performance rewards and penalties for the bound operators. The ship construction management system and the ship repair management system can provide planned tasks for the logistics system.
[0017] The usage method of the intelligent and efficient logistics system includes the following steps: a) Establish a transportation engineering equipment resource pool, which includes dock cranes, forklifts, transport vehicles, and truck cranes participating in the scheduling system calculations; b) Establish a transportation task pool, which consists of planned tasks and temporary tasks. Planned tasks are submitted in advance based on on-site needs, while temporary tasks are requested on-site by the ship repair management system and ship construction management system once transportation conditions are met; c) The main line of the transportation task pool executes according to the planned tasks; d) The scheduling algorithm allocates tasks based on the transportation requests submitted by users. When a temporary task is submitted by the user department, the system automatically generates it, requiring multiple transportation... e. For example, if a request is made to use a dock crane, the user department selects the dock crane, start time, transported items, and estimated operation time in the task request system. After submission, the task arrives in the intelligent scheduling system. The intelligent scheduling system prioritizes planned tasks. After planned tasks are completed, temporary tasks are carried out sequentially according to the order of submission. On-site production management personnel and schedulers can manually prioritize tasks based on their urgency and intervene in temporary tasks on-site. f. For example, if a request is made to use a forklift or truck crane, the user department submits a task request in the task request system, selects the start point and cargo information, and the intelligent scheduling system allocates the area accordingly. Tasks are assigned to the nearest available forklift or truck crane within the area, ensuring planned tasks are completed. Temporary tasks are then assigned sequentially according to the order they were submitted. On-site production managers and dispatchers can manually prioritize tasks based on their urgency and intervene in temporary tasks. g. If a transport vehicle is requested for long-distance material transfer, a task request is submitted through the task request system. The request includes the task start point, end point, start time, transport duration, and whether dock cranes, nearby forklifts, or truck cranes are needed for unloading. This temporary task is generated by the task request system, and the intelligent dispatch system allocates resources based on available available vehicles in the resource pool. Task allocation for transport vehicles ensures planned tasks are completed. Temporary tasks are assigned sequentially according to the order they were submitted. On-site production management personnel and dispatchers can manually prioritize tasks based on their urgency and intervene in temporary tasks. h. After the transport vehicle begins its task, the intelligent dispatch system will remind the person responsible for receiving the goods via mobile device in advance and automatically distribute the task to the task equipment based on the unloading status of other auxiliary engineering equipment. This task is the highest priority, ensuring the unloading of the transport vehicle and reducing the ineffective occupancy rate of the transport vehicle. If the transport vehicle does not unload for an extended period after arriving at its location, the intelligent dispatch system will automatically issue an alarm.
[0018] This invention relates to an intelligent and efficient logistics system and its usage method, which is geared towards shipyard logistics operations. It unifies the scheduling of various engineering equipment involved in logistics operations in shipyards, ensuring the efficient completion of temporary tasks while guaranteeing necessary planned tasks. Furthermore, the system unifies the scheduling of tasks that require the cooperation of multiple engineering equipment, reducing the occupancy rate of transport vehicles and improving transportation efficiency. Moreover, by implementing a composite management approach that combines planned and temporary tasks, this system solves the shortcomings of the original single planned task approach for dock cranes, improves crane utilization, and effectively overcomes various deficiencies in existing technologies, thus possessing high industrial application value.
