Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of warehouse safety monitoring technology, specifically relating to an intelligent monitoring and early warning method and system for warehouse environment based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), sensor technology, and artificial intelligence (AI), modern warehouse environment monitoring systems have evolved from traditional single-sensor alarms to multi-sensor fusion and intelligent analysis. Existing technologies mainly include independent sensor alarm systems based on fixed threshold triggers, simple status monitoring platforms based on data fusion, and rudimentary intelligent systems utilizing machine learning for anomaly detection. However, these methods still have significant shortcomings: First, most systems can only provide anomaly alarms and cannot accurately locate and trace the source of the anomaly, especially in complex warehouse environments where the coupling of multiple physical fields makes it difficult for a single sensor to distinguish the cause of the anomaly. Second, existing risk assessments largely rely on human experience or static rules, lacking dynamic comprehensive assessment of multi-dimensional information such as cargo value, environmental vulnerability, and time factors, leading to delayed or overreacting risk responses. Third, contingency plan execution often relies on fixed procedures, lacking rapid simulation and optimization mechanisms in digital twin environments, making it difficult to make scientific decisions in emergency situations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent warehouse environment monitoring system capable of achieving a closed-loop end-to-end system to improve the foresight, accuracy, and automation level of warehouse safety management. Summary of the Invention

It should also be understood that, unless expressly stated herein, terms defined in common dictionaries shall be interpreted as having the meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and not in an idealized or overly formalized sense.
[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this invention can be combined with each other. The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1: Please see Figure 1A method for intelligent monitoring and early warning of warehouse environment based on the Internet of Things, comprising: Step S1: Collect raw data packets of the storage environment and detect and extract disturbance signals; Step S2: Construct a physical field backpropagation model based on the disturbance signal to isolate the anomaly source; Step S3: Construct a risk assessment model based on the anomaly source and generate a dynamic risk heat map; Step S4: Based on the dynamic risk heat map, perform contingency plan simulation and output the optimal contingency plan instruction set.
[0020] In this embodiment, the detection and extraction of the disturbance signal specifically involves: S101: Various sensors (temperature, humidity, smoke, VOC, etc.) are deployed in the warehouse. Each sensor sends a raw data packet to the central server every few seconds. The raw data packet contains the sensor ID, timestamp, and measurement value. For example, temperature sensor T-001 measured 25.3℃ at 14:00:00 on 2025-1-1. S102: The server aligns data from different sensors and timestamps to a unified time grid and removes obviously erroneous data (such as instantaneous jumps to extreme values). S103: Learn the behavior patterns of each sensor under historical normal conditions, including typical values, range of change, and rate of change at different times of the day. For example, the temperature sensor on the east side of the warehouse is usually between 24-26°C at 2 pm and changes slowly. S104: Monitor in real time whether the data in the original data packet deviates from the behavior pattern under the historical normal conditions. For data marked as abnormal changes, extract a time series signal containing the time from the beginning of the change to the current moment as the disturbance signal. Each disturbance signal contains the signal source (which sensor it comes from), signal type (temperature, humidity or other), signal strength (the degree of deviation from the normal pattern at present) and time range. For example, signal 1: Sensor T-001 (located in the southeast corner of the warehouse) temperature abnormally increased by 0.3℃ (in the past 10 minutes).
[0021] In this embodiment, the construction of the physical field backpropagation model is specifically as follows: S201: Establish a physical model of the warehouse, which involves inputting the physical structure of the warehouse (walls, shelves, ventilation duct layout), the thermal properties of building materials (such as thermal conductivity), and the airflow pattern of the ventilation system into the system (or obtaining it through inversion from sensor data); the physical model of the warehouse describes how heat, humidity, smoke, etc., spread within the warehouse; S202: Reverse source tracing is performed using a reverse source tracing equation (simultaneously processing the tracing of multiple abnormal signals such as temperature, humidity, smoke concentration, and VOC concentration), and the source of the anomaly is obtained by solving the equation. The mathematical description is as follows: ,in, Let be a normalized source term vector, representing the release intensity of the j-th type of source per unit volume and per unit time. It has a dimension of m×1, where m is the number of possible source types. This is a normalized observation vector (derived from the disturbance signal), with dimensions n×1, where n is the number of monitored physical quantities. The normalized Green's tensor has dimensions n×m, and the elements in the matrix are... Characterized at position x, time Release unit intensity of type j source, for location The dimensionless influence of the i-th type of observation at time t For regularization terms, The regularization coefficient is . For tracing the time window, The spatial integration region is represented; each of the aforementioned anomaly sources includes the source location (three-dimensional coordinates within the warehouse), source type (which may be equipment failure, external heat intrusion, initial stage of fire, etc.), source intensity (heating rate, release rate, etc.), and confidence level (confidence score calculated based on the model fit).
[0022] In this embodiment, the risk assessment model is constructed as follows: S301: Construct a dynamic risk quantification index based on the aforementioned anomaly source, mathematically described as follows: ,in, It is a dynamic risk quantification indicator (the higher the value, the higher the risk). Weighting is based on the value of the goods (valuable goods have higher weighting). Let be the cargo vulnerability function, to reflect the non-linear increase in vulnerability with the degree of deviation. This is due to deviations in environmental parameters (originating from disturbance signals). The safety deviation threshold for environmental parameters, Time-weighted, for example, the risk cost is higher when there is no one on duty at night; S302: Generate the dynamic risk heat map based on the dynamic risk quantification index.
[0023] In this embodiment, the simulation of the contingency plan specifically refers to: S401: Generate early warning information based on the level and diffusion speed of the dynamic risk quantification indicators in the dynamic risk heat map; for example, Level 1 early warning information: low risk value, reminding the administrator to pay attention to changes in a certain area; Level 2 early warning information: medium risk value, requiring manual or automatic intervention; Level 3 early warning information: high risk value, requiring immediate automatic handling and notification to multiple parties; S402: Pre-set multiple contingency plans and quickly simulate the net effect of each plan in a digital twin (a virtual model of the warehouse). Mathematically described as follows: ,in, For the net effect of plan P, To determine the risk value at position x before implementing the contingency plan P, To determine the risk value at position x after implementing contingency plan P, This is the penalty coefficient for side effects. The side effects of contingency plan P at position k are defined as the new risk value caused by the execution of the contingency plan. S403: Output the optimal contingency plan instruction set based on the net effect.
[0024] Example 2: An intelligent monitoring and early warning system for warehouse environment based on the Internet of Things includes a disturbance extraction module, a reverse tracing module, a risk assessment module, and a contingency plan simulation module; The disturbance extraction module is used to collect raw data packets of the storage environment and detect and extract disturbance signals; The reverse tracing module is used to construct a physical field back propagation model based on the disturbance signal and separate the source of the anomaly. The risk assessment module is used to construct a risk assessment model based on the anomaly source and generate a dynamic risk heat map.
