Abstract
Description
A method for managing the location of electricity meters, a terminal and its storage medium Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of warehouse management technology, and in particular to a method for managing the location of electricity meters, a terminal and its storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] In the scenario of power asset storage management, electricity meters need to be densely shelved and stored in a "single row, multiple columns, double-sided storage" manner.
[0003] Currently, electricity meter management mainly relies on RFID technology, coupled with manual static location binding. However, RFID technology is susceptible to interference from metal shelving. When scanning meters with RFID, signal fluctuations can occur due to shelving, leading to missed readings or misjudged locations. Furthermore, static location binding requires manual relocation when meters are returned to the warehouse or changed. Therefore, this management model cannot meet the needs of lean management.
[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main purpose of this application is to provide a method, terminal and storage medium for electricity meter location management, which aims to solve the technical problem that the existing technology cannot meet the needs of lean management of electricity meter storage.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a method for electricity meter location management. The method includes: after receiving an anchor signal broadcast by a radio frequency row anchor point configured on a shelf, locking the target row corresponding to the anchor signal; controlling an electricity meter turnover vehicle to move to a preset column position corresponding to the target row to perform synchronous scanning of both sides of the shelf to obtain the corresponding electricity meter information and shelf information; and performing real-time location management of the electricity meters based on the electricity meter information, the shelf information, and an electricity meter-store location mapping table, wherein the electricity meter-store location mapping table is updated in real time when the correspondence between the electricity meters to be received and the store locations changes.
[0007] In one embodiment, the step of performing real-time location management of the electricity meter based on the electricity meter information, the shelf information, and the electricity meter-shelf location mapping table includes: matching the electricity meter information with the shelf information from the electricity meter-shelf location mapping table, and determining whether there is an anomaly in the electricity meter information and the shelf information; if there is an anomaly, determining the cause of the anomaly, and performing real-time location management of the electricity meter based on the cause of the anomaly.
[0008] In one embodiment, the real-time positioning management includes adding a preset time to the scanning time of the meter turnover cart on both sides of the shelves, and rescanning after position correction of the meter turnover cart; the step of determining the cause of the anomaly and performing real-time positioning management of the meters based on the cause of the anomaly includes: if an anomaly exists, analyzing the target storage location and the number of meters stored in the target storage location from the shelf information; comparing the number of meters with the number of meters stored, where the number of meters stored is the number of meters already stored in the target storage location recorded in the meter-storage location mapping table; if the number of meters is less than the number of meters stored, adding a preset time to the scanning time of the meter turnover cart on the target shelf; if the number of meters is greater than the number of meters stored, rescanning after position correction of the meter turnover cart.
[0009] In one embodiment, after comparing the number of electricity meters with the number of stored meters, where the number of stored meters is the number of electricity meters already stored in the target storage location as recorded in the electricity meter-storage location mapping table, the method includes: if the number of electricity meters is the same as the number of stored meters, then determining that the electricity meter information does not match the electricity meter-storage location mapping table; analyzing the reason for the mismatch between the electricity meter information and the electricity meter-storage location mapping table; if the reason for the mismatch is a missed reading of an electricity meter, then adjusting the reader power of the transceiver antenna required for scanning the target storage location, and scanning the target storage location again.
[0010] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the meter turnover cart to move to a preset column position corresponding to the target row to perform synchronous scanning of the shelves on both sides and obtain the corresponding meter information and shelf information includes: controlling the meter turnover cart to move to a preset column position corresponding to the target row to perform synchronous scanning of the shelves on both sides and obtaining the signal strength of the scanning signal; based on the signal strength, determining whether there is an abnormality in the scanning of the shelves on both sides; if there is no abnormality, then obtaining the corresponding meter information and shelf information.
[0011] In one embodiment, after the step of determining whether there is an anomaly in the scanning of the shelves on both sides based on the signal strength, the method further includes: if the signal strength is zero, determining whether the target storage location number of the currently scanned storage location is recorded in the meter-storage location mapping table; if the target storage location number is not recorded, controlling the meter turnover vehicle to move to the next target storage location; if the target storage location number is recorded, adjusting the reader power of the transceiver antenna required for scanning the currently scanned storage location, and scanning the currently scanned storage location again.
[0012] In one embodiment, after the step of determining whether there is an anomaly in the scanning of the shelves on both sides based on the signal strength, the method further includes: if the signal strength is within a preset missed reading signal range, then increasing the scanning time of the meter turnover vehicle on the target shelf by a preset time.
[0013] In one embodiment, before the step of controlling the meter turnover vehicle to move to a preset column position corresponding to the target row to perform synchronous scanning of the shelves on both sides and obtain the corresponding meter information and shelf information, the method further includes: after locking the target row corresponding to the anchor point signal and receiving the infrared signal, determining the column position information to be scanned based on the infrared signal, wherein the infrared signal is emitted by the infrared column point set at each column position; and determining the preset column position corresponding to the target row based on the column position information.
[0014] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes an electricity meter location management device, the device comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the computer program being configured to implement the steps of the electricity meter location management method as described above.
[0015] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a storage medium, which is a computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the electricity meter location management method described above.
[0016] The one or more technical solutions proposed in this application have at least the following technical effects: By locking the target row after receiving the anchor signal broadcast by the radio frequency row anchor points configured on the shelf, and controlling the meter turnover cart to move to the corresponding preset column position for synchronous scanning of the shelves on both sides, coarse positioning can be achieved by using the row anchor points, reducing the scanning range and reducing invalid reads. Moreover, since the metal shelves have a strong reflection and shielding effect on radio frequency signals, synchronous scanning on both sides ensures that each meter can be effectively illuminated by at least one reader. Even if there is metal obstruction on its side, the other side may still be able to complete the identification, thereby improving the success rate of tag reading. The mechanism of updating the meter-location mapping table in real time when the correspondence between the meter to be put into storage and the storage location changes can dynamically maintain the association between the meter and the storage location based on the actual scanning results. Therefore, in scenarios such as meter entry, return to warehouse, change of type, or storage location adjustment, the storage location information can be automatically synchronized without manual intervention. In other words, this application, through the collaborative design of "anchor point guidance + two-sided scanning + dynamic mapping update", achieves real-time and automatic management of the relationship between electricity meter locations while ensuring the reliability of radio frequency identification, thereby improving the accuracy of lean management of electricity meter storage.

[0020] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0022] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0023] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the warehouse control platform will be used as the execution subject in the following description.
[0024] Current technology for managing electricity meters primarily relies on RFID technology, coupled with manual static location binding. However, RFID is susceptible to interference from metal shelving. Scanning meters with RFID can cause signal fluctuations due to shelving, leading to missed readings or misjudged locations. Furthermore, static location binding requires manual relocation when meters are returned or changed. Therefore, this management model cannot meet the needs of lean management.
[0025] This application provides a solution that, upon receiving anchor point signals broadcast from RF row anchor points configured on the shelf, locks onto the target row and controls the meter turnover cart to move to the corresponding preset column for simultaneous scanning of both sides of the shelf. This utilizes row anchor points for coarse positioning, reducing the scanning range and minimizing invalid reads. Furthermore, because metal shelves strongly reflect and shield RF signals, simultaneous scanning from both sides ensures that each meter is effectively illuminated by at least one reader, even if there is metal obstruction on one side, identification can still be completed on the other side, thus improving the tag reading success rate. A mechanism that updates the meter-location mapping table in real time when the correspondence between meters to be received and their locations changes dynamically maintains the association between meters and locations based on actual scanning results. Therefore, in scenarios such as meter warehousing, return to warehouse, model change, or location adjustment, location information synchronization can be automatically completed without manual intervention. In other words, this application, through a collaborative design of "anchor point guidance + two-sided scanning + dynamic mapping update," achieves real-time and automatic management of meter-location relationships while ensuring the reliability of RF identification, thereby improving the accuracy of lean management of meter warehousing.
[0026] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or warehouse control platform capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a warehouse control platform as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.
[0027] Based on this, the present application provides a method for managing the location of electricity meters. Referring to Figure 1, Figure 1 is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the method for managing the location of electricity meters in this application.
[0028] In this embodiment, the meter positioning management method includes steps S10 to S30: Step S10, after receiving the anchor signal broadcast by the radio frequency row anchor points configured on the shelf, the target row corresponding to the anchor signal is locked; it should be noted that the radio frequency row anchor points are fixed radio frequency signal transmitting devices deployed at the beginning and end positions of each row of the storage shelf. The periodic broadcast of the radio frequency row anchor points contains anchor signals with unique row identification information. The anchor signal is a wireless radio frequency signal emitted by the radio frequency row anchor points, carrying the target row identification, and has low power consumption, high recognition rate and anti-interference capability. In this embodiment, it is used to guide the meter turnover vehicle to accurately identify the shelf row to be operated on. The target row is the specific shelf row that the meter turnover vehicle determines based on the received anchor signal, and is about to perform scanning and positioning operations.
[0029] It should be noted that the turnover box of the electricity meter turnover cart is equipped with a reader and dual-sided transceiver antennas, and the turnover box can be moved up and down as needed to correspond to any row of the shelf.
[0030] Understandably, by introducing a mechanism that allows radio frequency row anchors to work in conjunction with meter turnover vehicles, row-level precise positioning and automated scanning of the storage location of meters in the warehouse can be achieved, avoiding the inefficiency of traditional manual inventory or full warehouse traversal scanning.
[0031] Understandably, since the anchor point signal is actively broadcast by the fixed radio frequency row anchor point, the meter turnover vehicle only needs to passively receive and parse it. Its communication link is unidirectional, low bandwidth, low power consumption, strong anti-interference ability, and is not affected by network latency or server response. Therefore, it can achieve real-time, stable, and blind-spot-free row-level positioning guidance during vehicle movement, ensuring that the target row can be quickly and unambiguously determined each time it enters a new work area.
[0032] Understandably, compared to global positioning systems that rely on LiDAR mapping, visual feature matching, or ultra-wideband multi-base station ranging, using radio frequency row anchors to simplify the positioning granularity from centimeter-level absolute coordinates to row-level area identification perfectly matches the business logic of row-based operations in electricity meter storage management. This avoids high-cost hardware investment and avoids the serious interference of metal shelves on optical and / or ultra-wideband signals, thereby improving the response speed, environmental adaptability, and engineering feasibility of electricity meter positioning management while ensuring the accuracy of row identification.
[0033] In the specific implementation, each electricity meter is equipped with a passive RFID tag. The active RFID tag records meter information and is used for scanning and confirming meter information during the meter receiving phase, allocating shelf spaces for the meters to be received, and updating the meter-shelf mapping table. It controls the vertical movement of the turnover box in the meter turnover cart, locking the current scanned row upon receiving an RFID row anchor signal. The reader antenna power is passively adjusted to the scanning power of the passive RFID tag on the meter. That is, after entering the warehouse operation area, the meter turnover cart continuously listens for anchor signals broadcast from each RFID row anchor point. When the signal strength of a certain anchor point exceeds a preset threshold and the signal content is valid, the target row corresponding to that signal is locked, and receiving anchor signals from other rows stops to avoid misjudgment.
[0034] Each electricity meter is affixed with a unique passive RFID tag upon leaving the factory or upon its first entry into the warehouse. This tag contains meter information, including a unique meter number and model number. This tag does not contain any location information. The passive RFID tag is an UHF tag with a frequency of 860-960MHz, a storage capacity of ≥128 bits (enough to store meter number, model number, and other information), and a reading distance of 0.5-1.5m (adapting to the distance between the turnover box and the shelf). In step S20, the meter turnover vehicle is controlled to move to the preset column corresponding to the target row to simultaneously scan the shelves on both sides, obtaining the corresponding meter and shelf information. It should be noted that the meter turnover vehicle is an intelligent mobile vehicle with autonomous navigation, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reading and writing, data communication, and control functions. It is used to travel along a preset path within the warehouse and perform non-contact information collection and location management of the electricity meters on both sides of the shelves. The meter turnover vehicle is equipped with a turnover box that can move up and down. The preset column position is a horizontal docking position that is precisely aligned with the target row in space. This position is pre-marked by the warehouse layout to ensure that after the electricity meter turnover cart stops, the dual transceiver antennas on the turnover box can simultaneously cover all the storage locations on both sides of the target row's shelves.
[0035] It should be noted that meter information is unique identification data read from the meter's electronic tag using RFID or other automatic identification technologies. This includes, but is not limited to, the meter number, model, serial number, and verification code, used to uniquely identify each individual meter device. Shelf information is the physical location identification information corresponding to the currently scanned area, including row number, column number, layer number, and location code, used to describe the meter's three-dimensional spatial location in the warehouse.
[0036] Understandably, since the electricity meter-warehouse location mapping table is updated in real time when the relationship between the electricity meter and the warehouse location changes, combined with the ability of the electricity meter turnover vehicle to synchronously scan the shelves on both sides in the preset column, the system can obtain the largest range of inventory snapshots with minimal movement cost, significantly improving the real-time performance and data consistency of location management.
[0037] In practice, the electricity meter turnover cart automatically plans its route and moves to a preset column that is strictly aligned with the target row, based on a built-in map and positioning system (such as SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), QR code navigation, or magnetic strip navigation). Upon arrival, it activates the RFID read / write antenna arrays on the left and right sides of the turnover box to simultaneously scan all the electricity meter tags on the shelves on both sides of the target row, obtaining complete electricity meter information and corresponding shelf information in one go.
[0038] In a specific implementation, the generation method of the preset column position can also include: when the kth column is successfully triggered, the (k+1)th column is triggered within a future time window. If the trolley enters the (k+1)th column and successfully triggers the signal, then a scan is performed; if the (k+1)th column is not triggered, then the future time window is defined as a signal loss window, and the signal loss of the (k+1)th column is recorded. The meter data is then scanned again, and the current position of the (k+1)th column is recorded as a virtual column position. After the trolley completes the scan of a row, a data integrity analysis is performed. Based on the continuity of the column position and the meter data, as well as the correspondence of signals on both sides, the meter data collected within the signal loss window is associated with the most relevant column position.
[0039] Optionally, in a specific implementation, a column-time mapping table can be calculated based on the trolley's displacement speed, the dimensions of the rows and columns of the shelf, and the pre-configured dwell scanning time. Starting from the starting position, the meter information received Δt1 before and Δt2 after the time of reaching the corresponding column position is the current shelf meter information. If no meter signal is received within Δt1 before and Δt2 after the time of reaching the corresponding column position, the corresponding column position is determined to be empty.
[0040] Optionally, before step S20, the method further includes: after locking the target row corresponding to the anchor point signal and receiving the infrared signal, determining the column position information to be scanned based on the infrared signal, wherein the infrared signal is emitted by an infrared column point set at each column position; and determining the preset column position corresponding to the target row based on the column position information.
[0041] It should be noted that column position information is data extracted from infrared signals to uniquely identify the position of a specific vertical column, and typically includes the column number or global coordinates.
[0042] It is understandable that, since there are various ways to install infrared transmitters, this embodiment mainly relies on the reception triggering of infrared signals rather than the blocking triggering. In order to achieve the technical purpose and save costs, the underside of the storage partition can be used as the channel for infrared column points. In this way, only one set of infrared transmitters needs to be configured in the storage space. The infrared light passes through all the shelves arranged along the channel and can still achieve the function of reception triggering.
[0043] Understandably, because infrared signals are highly directional and not easily interfered with, they can effectively avoid confusion between adjacent position signals, ensuring the uniqueness and accuracy of position determination. At the same time, infrared signals are not affected by UHF radio frequency identification or radio frequency devices such as Wi-Fi, thus ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of the positioning system.
[0044] Step S30: Real-time location management of the electricity meters is performed based on the meter information, the shelf information, and the meter-warehouse location mapping table. The meter-warehouse location mapping table is updated in real time when the correspondence between the electricity meters to be put into storage and the warehouse locations changes.
[0045] It should be noted that the electricity meter-warehouse location mapping table is a dynamically maintained data structure stored in a local database or cloud server, recording the correspondence between each electricity meter and its current warehouse location. During the process of electricity meter entry, exit, transfer, or inventory counting, the electricity meter-warehouse location mapping table is updated in real time once the correspondence changes to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of inventory status.
[0046] Understandably, by designing the electricity meter-warehouse location mapping table as a data structure that updates in real time when the correspondence between electricity meters and warehouse locations changes, and by dynamically comparing it with the on-site scanning results of the electricity meter turnover vehicle, a high degree of consistency between the "digital ledger" and "physical reality" can be maintained, fundamentally avoiding discrepancies between the ledger and the actual situation caused by information lag in warehouse management.
[0047] In practical implementation, the meter-location mapping table can not only record the correspondence between meter numbers and location codes, but also associate metadata such as timestamps, operation types (inbound / outbound / transfer), operator or equipment IDs, and historical scan confidence levels. Whenever the meter turnover vehicle completes a scan operation, or the warehouse management system receives a new inbound / outbound instruction, the warehouse control platform immediately compares the current physical status with the mapping table records, and atomically updates the mapping table after confirming the change, ensuring that it always reflects the latest real status of the warehouse.
[0048] In practical implementation, the process of real-time location management of electricity meters may also include: combining the electricity meter information obtained from this scan with the shelf information into an observation pair (electricity meter ID, storage location ID), and matching it item by item with the expected records in the electricity meter-storage location mapping table; if an electricity meter is found to be in an unexpected storage location, or a storage location is missing the electricity meter that should be stored, an abnormal event is triggered, and the deviation is intelligently determined by combining historical operation logs and environmental context (such as whether it is in the inventory window period, whether there is a scheduling task being executed) to determine whether the deviation is a real misplacement or temporary storage, thereby deciding whether to immediately issue an alarm or delay correction.
[0049] In practical implementation, to reduce the overhead caused by frequent full table updates, the electricity meter-cargo location mapping table can also be maintained using an incremental snapshot + version number mechanism. That is, each change only updates the affected record entries and increments the global version number. The electricity meter turnover vehicle synchronizes the latest version number before each scan. If the local cache version is lagging behind, it actively pulls the incremental change data to achieve lightweight and efficient mapping consistency guarantee.
[0050] Understandably, metadata dimensions including timestamps, operation types, and confidence levels can be further introduced, enabling the warehouse control platform not only to identify "what's wrong" but also to reason "why it's wrong." For example, it can distinguish whether the error is due to human error, scheduling missynchronization, or tag expiration, thereby supporting differentiated anomaly response strategies, avoiding false alarms or missed alarms, and improving the accuracy of management decisions.
[0051] Understandably, using incremental snapshots and version number mechanisms to maintain the mapping table ensures both the real-time and atomic nature of data updates, while avoiding the network bandwidth consumption and processing delays caused by full synchronization, thus effectively balancing system performance and data consistency requirements.
[0052] This embodiment provides a method for managing the location of electricity meters. After receiving the anchor signal broadcast by the radio frequency row anchor points configured on the shelf, the target row is locked, and the electricity meter turnover cart is controlled to move to the corresponding preset column position for synchronous scanning of the shelves on both sides. The row anchor points can be used to achieve coarse positioning, reduce the scanning range, and reduce invalid reads. Since the metal shelves have a strong reflection and shielding effect on radio frequency signals, the synchronous scanning on both sides ensures that each electricity meter can be effectively illuminated by the reader on at least one side. Even if there is metal obstruction on its side, the other side may still be able to complete the identification, thereby improving the success rate of tag reading. The mechanism of updating the electricity meter-warehouse mapping table in real time when the correspondence between the electricity meter to be put into storage and the warehouse location changes can dynamically maintain the association between the electricity meter and the warehouse location based on the actual scanning results. Therefore, in scenarios such as electricity meter entry, return to the warehouse, change of type, or warehouse location adjustment, the warehouse location information can be automatically synchronized without manual intervention. In other words, this application, through the collaborative design of "anchor point guidance + two-sided scanning + dynamic mapping update", achieves real-time and automatic management of the relationship between electricity meter locations while ensuring the reliability of radio frequency identification, thereby improving the accuracy of lean management of electricity meter storage.
[0053] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to Figure 2, step S30 also includes steps S31~S32: step S31, matching the electricity meter information with the shelf information from the electricity meter-shelf location mapping table, and determining whether there is any abnormality in the electricity meter information and the shelf information; step S32, if there is an abnormality, determining the cause of the abnormality, and performing real-time location management of the electricity meter based on the cause of the abnormality.
[0054] It should be noted that anomalies refer to situations where the combined information obtained from scanning the electricity meters and shelves does not match the expected correspondence recorded in the electricity meter-location mapping table. These anomalies include, but are not limited to: electricity meters appearing in unregistered locations, missing meters in designated locations, the same meter being identified multiple times in multiple locations, or unregistered meters being detected. The underlying causes of these anomalies may include: meters being manually misplaced or moved, RFID tags malfunctioning or obstructed leading to missed readings, misidentification of locations due to meter turnover vehicle positioning deviation, failure to synchronize inbound / outbound operations to the mapping table in a timely manner, or data inconsistencies caused by system communication delays. Matching is the process of logically comparing the (meter ID, location ID) observations obtained from this scan with the (meter ID, expected location ID) records in the electricity meter-location mapping table to verify whether the physical storage status matches the records. Real-time location management not only refers to determining the current location of the electricity meters but can also include automatically triggering corresponding correction, alarm, or rescan strategies based on the anomaly type to restore consistency between the system data of the warehouse control platform and physical reality.
[0055] Understandably, by matching meter information with shelf information from the meter-shelf mapping table and actively judging whether there are any anomalies, the system does not simply report an error after detecting an anomaly, but rather analyzes the cause of the anomaly in depth and takes targeted management measures accordingly. This effectively distinguishes between "real misplacement" and "perception error," avoids frequent false alarms caused by the inherent missed reading characteristics of RFID, and thus improves the reliability and practicality of the detection.
[0056] Understandably, implementing differentiated response strategies based on the causes of anomalies enables the warehouse control platform to quickly correct human operational errors while tolerating reasonable fluctuations in sensor readings, thus achieving an organic balance between robustness and sensitivity.
[0057] In the specific implementation, the scanning results uploaded by the meter turnover vehicle are first parsed into multiple (meter ID, actual storage location ID) tuples, and the corresponding expected storage location ID is queried in the meter-storage location mapping table one by one. If the actual storage location ID is not equal to the expected storage location ID, or a meter ID is scanned even though it has no record in the mapping table, or an expected meter ID is not scanned, an anomaly is determined. Based on the determined cause of the anomaly, a differentiated real-time location management strategy is executed. That is, for suspected missed readings, a partial rescan or power adjustment is triggered; for confirmed misplacement, a misplacement alarm is generated and pushed to the operation and maintenance terminal; for "false anomalies" caused by scheduling non-synchronization, the verification is automatically delayed until the task is completed to avoid erroneous intervention.
[0058] Optionally, to further determine the cause of the anomaly, multi-source contextual information can be retrieved for comprehensive analysis, specifically: the recent operation logs of the storage location (whether there are any transfer tasks), the signal quality indicators (RSSI, bit error rate) of the meter turnover vehicle during this scan, the historical recognition success rate of the storage location, and the current task queue of the warehouse scheduling system; for example, if a meter is not recognized but there has been no recent operation in its storage location and the historical recognition rate is higher than 99%, it may be due to temporary tag failure; if the same meter appears in two adjacent storage locations at the same time, it may be due to antenna crosstalk caused by vehicle parking deviation.
[0059] Furthermore, the real-time positioning management also includes adding a preset time to the scanning time of the meter turnover cart on both sides of the shelves, and rescanning after position correction of the meter turnover cart; step S32 also includes: if there is an anomaly, analyzing the target storage location and the number of meters stored in the target storage location from the shelf information; comparing the number of meters with the number of meters stored, where the number of meters stored is the number of meters already stored in the target storage location recorded in the meter-storage location mapping table; if the number of meters is less than the number of meters stored, adding a preset time to the scanning time of the meter turnover cart on the target shelf; if the number of meters is greater than the number of meters stored, rescanning after position correction of the meter turnover cart.
[0060] It should be noted that the target storage location is a specific physical storage location identified during the anomaly detection process as potentially having inconsistent status. It is uniquely determined by the row number, column number, and shelf number in the shelving information. The storage quantity is the total number of electricity meters recorded in the meter-storage location mapping table that should currently be stored in the target storage location. This value is derived from the results of the most recent confirmed inbound, relocation, or inventory count operation.
[0061] It should be noted that the increased scanning time preset duration is a fixed extension (e.g., 500ms or 1s) on top of the original scanning cycle. This allows the RFID reader more opportunities to capture meter tags that have not been read on the first attempt due to momentary interference or tag dormancy, thereby improving identification integrity. Position correction involves the meter transport vehicle fine-tuning its lateral or longitudinal parking position based on an estimate of the current position deviation (e.g., through anchor point signal strength gradient, visual assistance, or inertial navigation feedback). This realigns the dual transceiver antennas with the center of the target storage location, eliminating mis-scanning or missed scanning caused by vehicle parking deviation.
[0062] Understandably, by quantitatively comparing the number of meters actually scanned with the number recorded in the mapping table, it is possible to accurately distinguish between the two typical anomalies of "missed reading" and "misplacement," avoiding the crude logic of relying solely on "whether a meter is identified" for binary judgment, thereby improving the accuracy of anomaly diagnosis.
[0063] Understandably, extending the scanning time for situations with insufficient quantity is essentially a redundant sampling strategy in the time dimension. This can effectively overcome the problem of instantaneous communication failure in UHF RFID in dense metal environments and improve the recognition rate without increasing hardware costs.
[0064] Understandably, performing a rescan after location correction in the case of "excessive quantity" eliminates the source of perception error in the spatial dimension, solves the problem of ambiguous cargo location boundaries caused by insufficient parking accuracy of the electricity meter turnover vehicle, ensures that each electricity meter is accurately assigned to its physical cargo location, and guarantees the spatial fidelity of the positioning results.
[0065] In the specific implementation, when an anomaly is determined in a target storage location, the shelf information corresponding to that location is first parsed to extract its physical coordinates and capacity configuration. All valid meter IDs belonging to that location in this scan are then counted to obtain the actual number of meters. Simultaneously, the meter-storage location mapping table is queried to obtain the registered storage quantity for that target storage location. If the number of meters is less than the storage quantity, it indicates a possible missed scan. In this case, the "extended scan" strategy is automatically triggered, meaning the RFID reader is kept active in the storage location area for an additional preset time (e.g., 800ms), and the tag response is continuously polled during this period. If the number of meters is greater than the storage quantity, it may be due to the meter turnover vehicle's parking position being offset, causing both transceiver antennas to simultaneously cover adjacent storage locations, resulting in cross-storage location misreads. In this case, the positioning correction module needs to be called, combining the anchor point signal strength distribution or a pre-stored storage location boundary model to calculate the optimal parking offset, and drive the meter turnover vehicle to perform millimeter-level position fine-tuning before re-initiating the scan. The preset duration is not a fixed value, but is dynamically set according to the historical missed reading rate of the storage location. For example, for storage locations with a historical missed reading rate higher than 10%, the preset duration is automatically increased to 1.5 seconds to achieve intelligent allocation of resources.
[0066] Further, after the step of comparing the number of electricity meters with the number of stored meters, where the number of stored meters is the number of electricity meters already stored in the target storage location as recorded in the electricity meter-storage location mapping table, the process includes: if the number of electricity meters is the same as the number of stored meters, then determining that the electricity meter information does not match the electricity meter-storage location mapping table; analyzing the reasons for the mismatch between the electricity meter information and the electricity meter-storage location mapping table; if the mismatch is due to a missed meter reading, then adjusting the reader power of the transceiver antenna required for scanning the target storage location, and scanning the target storage location again.
[0067] It should be noted that the "same number of meters as the number of stored meters" refers to the total number of meters identified in this scan and located in the target storage location, which is numerically equal to the total number of meters that should be stored in that location as recorded in the meter-location mapping table. A mismatch between meter information and the meter-location mapping table occurs when, although the total number of meters is consistent, the actual scanned meter IDs do not completely correspond to the meter IDs registered in the mapping table. For example, meters A, B, and C are registered in this storage location, but the scan result shows A, B, and D, indicating misplacement or label confusion. The potential root causes of this mismatch may include: a meter tag being obscured or damaged and thus not being read (missed reading), while a meter in an adjacent storage location being misread due to antenna crosstalk; meters being misplaced intentionally while maintaining the same total number; or errors in the mapping table update. Missed reading meters refer to meters registered in the meter-location mapping table that exist in the target storage location but were not identified in this scan. Adjusting the reader power dynamically reduces the RFID reader's transmit power level (e.g., from 26dBm to 22dBm) to narrow its effective reading radius, making the electromagnetic field energy more concentrated inside the target storage location, thereby suppressing the excitation of tags in neighboring storage locations and reducing cross-location crosstalk.
[0068] Understandably, by identifying the same amount of mismatched features, accurately locating such misreading anomalies, and actively reducing power to shrink the reading area, the source of interference can be suppressed at the source, thereby improving the spatial isolation and accuracy of warehouse location identification.
[0069] Understandably, by dynamically binding the power adjustment direction (increase / decrease) with the root cause of the anomaly (missed read / misread), intelligent reverse control of the RFID physical layer behavior is achieved. It not only responds to anomalies but also actively shapes an electromagnetic environment conducive to correct identification, demonstrating a high degree of adaptability and engineering wisdom.
[0070] In practical implementation, when the number of meters is the same as the number stored but the ID set is inconsistent, the spatial source of the additional meters (i.e., meters that actually exist but are not registered in the meter-location mapping table) is further analyzed. If the additional meter is registered in the meter-location mapping table to the left or right of the adjacent target location, it is determined to be a misread of the adjacent location caused by excessive reader power. To avoid interference from adjacent locations, the optimal power reduction range (e.g., a reduction of 3dB or 6dB) can be calculated based on the location spacing, shelf metal density, and historical crosstalk records. This parameter is then sent to the reader module of the corresponding transceiver antenna. After reducing the power, the meter turnover vehicle re-triggers the directional scan of the target location. Due to the shrinking electromagnetic field coverage, adjacent location tags are no longer activated, while normal tags in the target location can still be reliably read (because they are closer to the antenna and have a stronger signal), thus obtaining a cleaner scan result. If the mismatch cannot be eliminated after reducing the power, it can be further combined with antenna beam direction adjustment or the use of time diversity scanning (such as staggering the working sequence of the left and right antennas) to achieve multidimensional interference suppression.
[0071] Based on the first and second embodiments of this application, in the third embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to Figure 3. Step S20 further includes steps S1 to S3: Step S1, controlling the meter turnover cart to move to the preset column position corresponding to the target row to perform synchronous scanning of the shelves on both sides, and obtaining the signal strength of the scanning signal; Step S2, based on the signal strength, determining whether there is an abnormality in the scanning of the shelves on both sides; Step S3, if there is no abnormality, obtaining the corresponding meter information and shelf information.
[0072] It should be noted that the signal strength is the received signal strength indication corresponding to the backscattered signal returned from the electronic tags of each electricity meter during the RFID scanning process performed by the electricity meter turnover vehicle.
[0073] Understandably, by acquiring the signal strength of the scanning signal before formal data acquisition and predicting the scanning quality based on that strength, an intelligent scanning mechanism of evaluation before acquisition can be achieved, avoiding invalid operations or erroneous data entry caused by forcibly reading under obviously abnormal conditions.
[0074] Understandably, using signal strength as a preliminary criterion for scanning anomalies allows for a quantitative assessment of perception reliability at the physical level, rather than relying on whether the application layer reads the ID for post-event remediation. This approach advances anomaly interception to the data generation source, thereby improving the data reliability and process controllability of the entire location management process.
[0075] In practice, after the meter transfer cart arrives at the preset column and completes position fine-tuning, it activates the RFID readers on both sides of the transfer box to initiate a rapid detection scan of all storage locations in the target row. This scan does not aim to read all tag data, but rather focuses on collecting the maximum or average signal strength value returned by each expected storage location area to form a signal strength distribution map. If 0 < signal strength < threshold, it is determined to be a weak signal missed reading, and the power is not adjusted, extending the scanning time of the current column. To achieve accurate positioning of the meters in the storage location, if the initial scan uses conventional power, there may be a signal overflow phenomenon due to excessively high signal, causing the reading range to exceed the current storage location boundary and scan adjacent columns. For example, the power of storage location A-03-05 might scan A-03-06 or the outer layer of the same storage location, masking the signal of the inner layer of meters, resulting in a problem where the signal appears not to be scanned, but is actually submerged by adjacent tags. Therefore, for more accurate positioning, reducing the power is a more ideal improvement technique, while increasing the power may exacerbate interference. Meanwhile, in a dual-antenna operating scenario, increasing the power will cause signal interference on both sides, resulting in signal confusion.
[0076] Furthermore, after step S20, the meter positioning management method further includes: if the signal strength is zero, determining whether the target storage location number of the currently scanned storage location is recorded in the meter-storage location mapping table; if the target storage location number is not recorded, controlling the meter turnover vehicle to move to the next target storage location; if the target storage location number is recorded, adjusting the reader power of the transceiver antenna required for scanning the currently scanned storage location, and scanning the currently scanned storage location again.
[0077] It should be noted that the currently scanned storage location is the specific physical storage location being processed by the meter transfer cart during the synchronous scanning process. This location is determined by the row number, column number, and layer number, and corresponds to a unique target storage location number. The target storage location number is a globally unique identifier assigned to each physical storage location by the warehouse management system (e.g., A05-03-02). It is used to establish a binding relationship with the meter ID in the meter-storage location mapping table and is the basic index for achieving precise location management. Moving to the next target storage location means that the meter transfer cart skips storage locations that are currently unresponsive and have no registration records, and continues along the preset path to the next storage location to be scanned, avoiding wasting operation time in empty storage locations or invalid areas.
[0078] Understandably, when the signal strength is zero, further querying the meter-cargo location mapping table to determine whether the cargo location is the registered location of the meter can intelligently distinguish between legitimate empty cargo locations and abnormal missed reading locations, avoiding invalid rescanning of empty locations and significantly improving operational efficiency.
[0079] In the specific implementation, if the signal strength is 0, the meter-cargo location mapping table is compared. If there is no record, the device is moved to the next cargo location. If there is a record in the meter-cargo location mapping table, the reader power of the antenna on the current side is reduced first, and then a second scan is performed. If the signal strength of the second scan is still 0, an anomaly is marked.
[0080] Furthermore, after step S20, the meter positioning management method further includes: if the signal strength is within a preset missed reading signal range, then the scanning time of the meter turnover vehicle on the target shelf is increased by a preset time.
[0081] It should be noted that the preset missed reading signal range is an empirically or calibrated signal strength range. Within this range, although the tag can be partially activated, it has a high probability of not being fully decoded due to weak signal, noise interference, or momentary obstruction. This is a typical "critically readable" state, which is very likely to lead to missed reading.
[0082] Understandably, by setting a preset range of missed signals and actively extending the scanning time for locations falling within that range, the probability of capturing weak signal tags can be improved in a targeted manner without significantly increasing the overall operation time, effectively overcoming the signal attenuation and momentary obstruction problems common in metal rack environments.
[0083] Understandably, compared to the crude strategy of using a uniform scanning duration for all storage locations, differentiated resource scheduling based on channel quality avoids ineffective delays for strong signal storage locations while ensuring sufficient stimulation for weak signal storage locations, thereby improving time utilization efficiency and identification completeness.
