Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial warehouse management technology, specifically to a method and system for intelligent selection, automatic backfilling, and conflict prevention management of industrial warehouse locations based on Microsoft GridView data grid visualization. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial warehouse management, traditional warehouse location management methods primarily rely on simple tables to display location information, which has several technical shortcomings: 1. The displayed location information is disconnected from the actual physical layout of the warehouse, making it impossible for managers to intuitively and quickly grasp the vacancy or occupancy status of all locations, resulting in low scheduling efficiency; 2. Operations such as receiving and transferring require manual keyboard input of location numbers, which is prone to errors and misplacement, leading to incorrect material placement; 3. The lack of a pre-emptive verification mechanism for warehouse location occupancy makes it easy for materials to be placed in the same location repeatedly, causing location conflicts and chaotic material management; 4. There is no linkage between warehouse location information and the business operation interface, requiring manual re-entry after location selection, which is cumbersome and prone to data inconsistencies. Currently, there is a lack of a dedicated warehouse location management solution that combines visualized warehouse location layout, intelligent location selection, and conflict prevention for warehouse location use, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient and accurate warehouse location management on-site. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention This invention provides a method and system for visualized intelligent selection and conflict prevention management of warehouse storage locations, which realizes visualized display of the status of industrial warehouse storage locations, manual input-free selection of storage locations, and conflict prevention of storage location use, thereby improving the intuitiveness, accuracy and efficiency of warehouse storage location management and solving the pain points of traditional management methods. Technical solution

[0004] A method for visualized intelligent selection and conflict prevention management of warehouse storage locations includes the following steps: Construct a warehouse location plan data table: use rows as warehouse area identifiers, use columns as warehouse location number identifiers, and use cells to store the material number of the corresponding warehouse location, and establish a warehouse location data structure that is consistent with the actual physical layout of the warehouse; Storage location visualization rendering: The storage location plan data table is loaded through the Microsoft built-in GridView data grid control, and the data table is transformed into a visual plan corresponding to the actual layout of the warehouse. Empty cells indicate that the storage location is free, and cells storing material numbers indicate that the storage location is occupied. Multi-dimensional warehouse area filtering and display: Supports filtering and viewing by warehouse area identifier character length, adapting to the management needs of different warehouse areas and achieving accurate display of warehouse location information; Intelligent storage location selection and backfilling: When an operator clicks on any storage location cell in the GridView, the system automatically concatenates the storage area identifier and storage location number to generate a complete storage location number and displays it; when an operator double-clicks on an empty storage location cell, the system automatically backfills the complete storage location number into the text box of the corresponding inbound, transfer, or other business operation interface to complete the storage location selection. Warehouse space occupancy pre-emptive conflict prevention: When an operator clicks or double-clicks an already occupied warehouse space cell, the system immediately triggers a prompt and prohibits subsequent location selection and material placement operations, thus preventing duplicate warehouse space occupancy from the source; Business interface linkage and process closed loop: After the storage location number is filled back, you can directly jump to the corresponding business operation interface to continue to complete operations such as storage entry and storage transfer, realizing seamless linkage between storage location selection and business operations, forming a management process closed loop; Real-time warehouse location data refresh: Provides a manual refresh function to reload the warehouse location information in the GridView data grid, ensuring that the warehouse location status displayed on the visual plane is consistent with the actual warehouse location status.

[0005] A warehouse location visualization intelligent selection and conflict prevention management system, characterized in that it includes: Warehouse location plan data module: Used to store warehouse area, warehouse location and material number data corresponding to the physical layout of the warehouse, and to build a standardized warehouse location plan data table; Visualized Grid Rendering Module: Based on Microsoft's built-in GridView data grid control, it transforms the warehouse location planar data table into a visualized planar data grid, enabling an intuitive display of the warehouse location status; Warehouse Area Filtering Module: Used to filter by warehouse area identification features, enabling separate display of warehouse location information for different warehouse areas; The intelligent location selection and backfilling module is used to preview the location number by clicking on a location and automatically backfill the location number to the business operation interface by double-clicking on an empty location. Anti-conflict interception module: used to identify occupied storage locations, intercept the selection operation of occupied storage locations in advance and give a prompt; Business linkage module: used to achieve seamless switching and data linkage between the storage location selection interface and business operation interfaces such as inbound and transfer; Data refresh module: Used to reload the storage location data of the GridView data grid, realize manual refresh of storage location planar data, and ensure the real-time accuracy of storage location status. Beneficial effects

[0006] High level of warehouse location visualization: A visual plane consistent with the actual warehouse layout is constructed through Microsoft GridView data grid, making the idle / occupied status of warehouse locations clear at a glance. Managers can quickly grasp the information of all warehouse locations, greatly improving scheduling efficiency; Storage location selection without manual input: Double-clicking the storage location will automatically fill in the storage location number, completely eliminating the need for manual keyboard input and preventing the problem of incorrect or misplaced storage location numbers from the root. Strong error prevention in warehouse location usage: A pre-emptive interception mechanism for occupied warehouse locations is set up to prohibit repeated material placement operations, completely avoiding conflicts caused by duplicate warehouse location occupation and ensuring the accuracy of warehouse location management; Efficient and convenient operation process: Seamless linkage between storage location selection and business operation interface, eliminating the need for repeated data entry, simplifying operation steps, and improving on-site operation efficiency; Good on-site adaptability: It supports zoned filtering and viewing of warehouses, which fits the actual management needs of industrial warehouses. It is also developed based on Microsoft native controls, which are simple to operate and can be quickly mastered by on-site operators without professional training. Strong data consistency: Storage location data can be refreshed in real time, ensuring that the storage location status on the GridView visualization plane is consistent with the actual status of the warehouse, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of storage location management data. Detailed Implementation

[0007] A warehouse location plan table is created in advance in the database. According to the actual physical layout of the warehouse, the warehouse location is identified by the row field, the warehouse location number is identified by the column field (01~16), and the cell field is used to store the material number of the corresponding warehouse location. After the system starts, it loads the warehouse location visualization management interface, reads the warehouse location plan data through the Microsoft built-in GridView data grid control, renders and generates a visualization grid plan that is consistent with the actual layout of the warehouse, empty cells are vacant storage locations, cells containing material numbers are occupied storage locations, and automatically completes column width adaptation. Operators can choose to view storage location information for single-character storage areas, double-character storage areas, or all storage areas according to management needs. The system executes the corresponding query statement through the storage area filtering module and displays the filtered data in the GridView. When an operator clicks on any storage location cell in the GridView visualization, the system automatically retrieves the storage location and column header of the current row, concatenates them to generate a complete storage location number, and displays it on the interface. If an operator clicks on an already occupied storage location cell, the system will display a pop-up message: "This storage location already contains materials; no more materials may be added!" This will prevent further operations. When an operator double-clicks an empty storage location cell, the system automatically and accurately fills the complete storage location number into the designated text box on the inbound or transfer business operation interface. Then, the system automatically closes the visual interface and jumps to the corresponding business operation interface. If an operator double-clicks an already occupied storage location cell, the system will immediately pop up a prompt window and prohibit the storage location number from being re-entered and the interface from being redirected. When the warehouse location status changes, operators can click the refresh button to re-execute the query statement through the data refresh module to read the latest data of the warehouse location plan and load it into the GridView data grid, thereby realizing real-time updates of the visual warehouse location status.
