Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart logistics, and more particularly to an automated distribution system for smart logistics. Background Technology
[0002] Logistics, originally meaning "physical distribution" or "goods delivery," is a part of supply chain activities. It involves the planning, implementation, and control of the efficient and low-cost flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from production to consumption to meet customer needs. Logistics comprises the transportation of goods, services, distribution, warehousing, packaging, handling and loading / unloading, distribution processing, and related logistics information. Specific aspects of logistics activities include: customer service, demand forecasting, order processing, distribution, inventory control, transportation, warehouse management, factory and warehouse layout and location, handling and loading / unloading, procurement, packaging, and information management.
[0003] In the existing technology, when storing the items to be stored in the honeycomb storage cabinet at the logistics receiving end, since the honeycomb storage cabinet has multiple storage units of different sizes, it is necessary to manually judge the size of the items to be stored and the maximum capacity size of the multiple storage units. Based on the results of these two judgments, the storage units are manually numbered and selected, which makes the storage process cumbersome and the storage time too long. Summary of the Invention
[0004] According to the present invention, an automated distribution system for smart logistics is provided, the system comprising:
[0005] A data storage device is installed inside a honeycomb storage cabinet, which includes multiple storage units of different volumes. The data storage device is used to store multiple copies of the storage volume corresponding to each of the multiple storage units.
[0006] A status notification device, connected to the data storage device, is used to execute a status notification for rejecting an object when the received on-site analysis volume is greater than each of the multiple storage volumes, and is also used to execute a status notification for allowing the acceptance of an object when the received on-site analysis volume is less than or equal to one or more of the multiple storage volumes, and to broadcast the storage unit corresponding to the storage volume among the multiple storage volumes that is closest to the received on-site analysis volume value as a reference storage unit.
[0007] A visualization camera is positioned directly above the object to be stored, used to perform camera processing on the scene where the object is located, in order to obtain and output the corresponding scene image;
[0008] The successive mapping mechanism, connected to the visualization camera, includes an artifact removal device, a data sharpening device, and a recursive filtering device. It is used to sequentially perform artifact removal processing, spatial domain differential sharpening processing, and adaptive recursive filtering processing on the received scene image to obtain and output the corresponding successive mapping image.
[0009] An information application device, connected to the successive mapping mechanism, includes a component recognition unit, a region processing unit, and a volume estimation unit. The region processing unit is connected to both the component recognition unit and the volume estimation unit. The information application device is used to take the R component values, G component values, and B component values in the received successive mapping image as target pixels in the R component value interval, G component value interval, and B component value interval corresponding to the current object to be stored, respectively. It fits each target pixel in the image to be processed to obtain a target region. Based on the total number of pixels occupied by the target region, the overall depth value of the target region, and the position information corresponding to each target pixel, it uses a feedforward neural network value after multiple learning operations to parse the 3D entity volume corresponding to the current object to be stored.
[0010] The information application device is also connected to the status notification device and is used to send the 3D entity volume corresponding to the object to be stored as the on-site resolution volume to the status notification device.
[0011] This invention solves the technical problems in the prior art. Based on the total number of pixels occupied by the target area where the object to be stored is located in the successively mapped image, the overall depth value of the target area, and the positional information corresponding to each target pixel, a feedforward neural network value after multiple learning iterations is used to analyze the 3D entity volume corresponding to the object to be stored. This 3D entity volume is sent as the on-site analyzed volume to a status notification device. The status notification device is used to reject the object's status notification when the on-site analyzed volume is greater than each of the multiple storage volumes corresponding to the multiple storage units of the honeycomb storage cabinet; and to allow the object's status notification when the on-site analyzed volume is less than or equal to one or more of the multiple storage volumes. The storage unit corresponding to the storage volume closest to the on-site analyzed volume among the multiple storage volumes is used as a reference storage unit, and its storage number is broadcast on-site. This achieves intelligent management of the honeycomb storage cabinet, reducing a significant amount of manual operation. Attached Figure Description

[0058] This invention has at least the following three important technical features:
[0059] 1. An information application device with a customized structure, including a component recognition unit, a region processing unit, and a volume estimation unit, is used to complete the screening of basic data for intelligent analysis of the volume of the 3D entity corresponding to the object to be stored.
[0060] 2. Based on the total number of pixels occupied by the target region where the object to be stored is located in the successively mapped image, the overall depth value of the target region, and the position information corresponding to each target pixel, the 3D solid volume corresponding to the object to be stored is analyzed using the feedforward neural network value after multiple learnings.
[0061] 3. The 3D solid volume corresponding to the object to be stored is sent as the on-site resolution volume to the status notification device. The status notification device is used to execute an on-site status notification to reject the object when the on-site resolution volume is greater than each of the multiple storage volumes corresponding to the multiple storage units of the honeycomb storage cabinet. When the on-site resolution volume is less than or equal to one or more of the multiple storage volumes, it executes an on-site status notification to allow the object to be received.
