Description

A blockchain-based warehouse management system and its method Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of warehouse management technology, and specifically to a blockchain-based warehouse management system and method. Background Technology

[0002] A blockchain is a chain of blocks, each containing a specific piece of information. These blocks are linked together in chronological order of their creation and stored on servers. As long as one server in the entire system is operational, the entire blockchain is secure. These servers are called nodes in the blockchain system, and they provide storage space and computing power support for the entire blockchain system.

[0003] Warehouse management is the management of warehouses and the materials stored in them. Goods are stored and kept safe through warehouses. A "warehouse" is a building or site for storing goods. It can be a building, a large container, a cave, or a specific site. It has the function of storing and protecting goods. "Storage" means to collect and store for use. It has the meaning of collecting, storing, and delivering for use. When applied to tangible goods, it is also called storage. Warehousing is the act of using a warehouse to store and store goods that are not used immediately. In short, warehousing is the act of storing goods in a specific place.

[0004] Currently, in order to understand the warehouse situation, it is necessary to regularly inventory the stock of materials during the warehouse management process. However, with the large variety and quantity of goods, warehouse management is relatively chaotic. Warehouse managers find it difficult to keep track of the quantity of various goods in a timely manner, and their management foresight is weak. When goods are in short supply, they need to use materials urgently, which leads to an increase in procurement costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a blockchain-based warehouse management system and method to solve problems such as chaotic warehouse management, difficulty for warehouse managers to keep track of the quantity of various goods in a timely manner, poor management foresight, and the need to increase procurement costs due to the need to add emergency materials when goods are in short supply.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a blockchain-based warehouse management system, including a central processing system. The central processing system is bidirectionally connected to an inbound management unit, an outbound management unit, a database, a warehouse information management unit, an environmental monitoring unit, a human interaction unit, and a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module is also bidirectionally connected to a mobile terminal.

[0008] Furthermore, the warehouse management unit includes an order information receiving module, an order information entry module, and a location allocation module.

[0009] Furthermore, the outbound management unit includes a shipment request receiving module and an outbound record module, and the environmental monitoring unit includes a temperature sensing module, a humidity sensing module, an infrared sensing module, and a camera acquisition module.

[0010] Furthermore, the human interaction unit includes a face recognition module, a display module, and a query module.

[0011] Furthermore, the warehouse information management unit includes a real-time quantity monitoring module, a comparison module, and an early warning module.

[0012] Furthermore, the database includes a storage module, the input end of which is electrically connected to the output end of the information receiving module, and the storage module is bidirectionally connected to the update module via wireless connection.

[0013] Furthermore, the storage module is bidirectionally connected to the classification module via wireless communication, and the storage module is bidirectionally connected to the feedback module via wireless communication.

[0014] A blockchain-based warehouse management method specifically includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. The order information receiving module receives goods entry order information, the order information entry module enters the goods type, quantity, entry date, etc. into the management system, the location allocation module allocates the placement location of the goods in the warehouse, and the information of the entry management unit is uploaded to the central processing system.

[0016] S2. The outbound management unit receives the outbound order request through the outbound request receiving module, the outbound record module records the outbound goods information, and uploads the outbound information to the central processing system.

[0017] S3. The information receiving module in the database receives inbound and outbound goods information in real time. The storage module saves the inbound and outbound goods information. The classification module classifies the goods information according to the type of goods. The update module continuously updates the real-time inventory status of goods. The feedback module provides feedback on the information in the storage module.

[0018] S4. The real-time quantity monitoring module monitors the inventory of goods based on the information fed back by the feedback module. The comparison module compares the real-time detected inventory with the original storage quantity of goods. When the inventory of goods is less than the threshold, the early warning module issues an alarm message. The alarm message is transmitted to the mobile terminal of the warehouse management personnel through the wireless communication module.

[0019] S5. The temperature, humidity, and smoke / gas levels inside the warehouse are monitored in real time by the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and infrared sensor in the environmental monitoring unit. The camera acquisition module captures real-time images of the goods inside the warehouse. Warehouse management personnel verify their identity through the facial recognition module. After successful verification, the environmental information inside the warehouse can be visualized through the display module, and the specific information of the goods inside the warehouse can be queried through the query module.

[0020] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0021] 1. This invention stores the types and quantities of goods in a database. The warehouse information management unit monitors the quantity of each type of goods in real time and compares it with the original storage quantity. When the inventory of goods is less than the threshold, the warning module sends information to the mobile terminal of the warehouse manager, notifying him to purchase the goods in time. This facilitates the control of inventory, reasonable storage of materials, and more orderly management.

[0022] 2. This invention monitors the temperature, humidity, smoke and gas, and real-time images in the warehouse through an environmental monitoring unit, enabling safe management of goods and facilitating remote control of the warehouse environment to prevent accidents during the storage of goods.

[0023] 3. This invention achieves bidirectional connection between the central processing system and the human interaction unit via wireless communication. The human interaction unit includes a facial recognition module, a display module, and a query module. When warehouse management personnel enter the management system, they can verify their identity through facial recognition, thereby improving the security of the system. Attached Figure Description
