Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart logistics technology, and in particular to a parcel handling method and apparatus, electronic device and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce and global trade, cross-border e-commerce business is booming, and the volume of international parcel business is experiencing explosive growth. Faced with massive and continuously growing cross-border logistics demands, modern warehousing and sorting centers are placing higher demands on their parcel handling capabilities.

[0003] Due to the high time requirements and complex customs procedures involved in international parcel processing, modern logistics transshipment centers cannot complete the entire parcel handling process independently of a single site. They require collaborative processing through multiple sorting nodes with different functions, such as consolidation sites, transit sites, and departure sites. During the actual circulation process, parcels need to be transferred orderly between these multiple nodes, and data exchange between each node is used to match their respective sorting plans and routing trajectories, thereby ensuring the efficient export of international parcels.

[0004] However, in the relevant technologies, the systems of each sorting site operate independently and in isolation, lacking cross-site collaborative sorting control logic. When packages are transferred in complex logistics transfer centers, problems such as chaotic transfer paths are easily generated during cross-site handover, increasing the risk of package missorting and rework, ultimately resulting in low package processing accuracy and transfer efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this application is to propose a parcel processing method and apparatus, electronic device and storage medium, which aims to establish a collaborative sorting control logic across sites, standardize the flow path of parcels when they are handed over across sites, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of parcel processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this application proposes a parcel processing method applied to a target control system. The target control system is used for sorting and scheduling a target logistics center, which includes an international shipment consolidation area and a departure area. The method includes: Obtain the package attributes of the target package, including the association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier, package type, cross-border identifier, origin site type, and sorting control attributes; The association data is matched with the manifest data in the pre-declaration system. When the match is successful, the verification declaration information corresponding to the target package is generated based on the association data and the manifest data. The declaration information to be verified is pushed to the declaration verification system for information verification. When the verification is successful, the sorting system is scheduled to sort the target package to the international shipment collection site according to the sorting control attribute and the origin site type. Based on the origin site type, the parcel type, and the cross-border identification, transshipment route data is generated, and the sorting system is scheduled according to the transshipment route data to sort the target parcel from the international shipment consolidation site to the departure site; The target parcel in the departure area is loaded onto a vehicle for departure based on the master waybill identifier.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of this application provides a parcel handling apparatus applied to a target control system. The target control system is used for sorting and scheduling a target logistics center, which includes an international shipment consolidation area and a departure area. The apparatus includes: The acquisition unit is used to acquire the package attributes of the target package, including the association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier, the package type, the cross-border identifier, the origin site type, and the sorting control attributes. The generation unit is used to match the association data with the manifest data in the pre-declaration system. When the match is successful, it generates the declaration information to be verified for the target package based on the association data and the manifest data. The first scheduling unit is used to push the declaration information to be verified to the declaration verification system for information verification. When the verification is passed, the sorting system is scheduled to sort the target package to the international shipment collection site according to the sorting control attribute and the origin site type. The second scheduling unit is used to generate transshipment route data based on the origination site type, the parcel type, and the cross-border identification, and to schedule the sorting system to sort the target parcel from the international shipment collection site to the departure site according to the transshipment route data. The loading and departure unit is used to load the target parcel in the departure area onto a vehicle for departure based on the master waybill identifier.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, a third aspect of this application provides an electronic device, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, a fourth aspect of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect.

[0010] The parcel processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium proposed in this application acquire multi-dimensional parcel attributes of the target parcel, generate verification declaration information based on the matched correlation data and manifest data in the pre-declaration system, and push the declaration information to the declaration verification system for information verification. This achieves automated and accurate information pre-declaration, ensuring the compliance of parcels before sorting. Upon successful verification, the target consolidation mode is matched based on sorting control attributes and origin site type to achieve differentiated consolidation of parcels from different origins and types, ensuring the standardization and accuracy of parcel consolidation. Then, transshipment routing data is generated by combining origin site type, parcel type, and cross-border identification, achieving accurate matching between transshipment routing data and parcel business characteristics and cross-site transfer scenarios. Based on the transshipment routing data, the sorting system is scheduled to sort the parcels to be sorted from the consolidation site to the departure site. Finally, based on the master waybill identification, the parcels to be sorted in the departure site are loaded onto trucks for departure, ultimately realizing the overall scheduling and closed-loop control of multiple sites by the target control system. Compared to related technologies where each sorting site operates independently and in isolation, lacking unified, cross-site collaborative sorting control logic, which easily leads to problems such as chaotic flow paths when packages are handed over across sites, this application breaks down the system islands and logical barriers between sites by using a target control system to coordinate and control multiple sites in a closed loop. This achieves collaborative control across logistics sites, improving the sorting accuracy and end-to-end flow efficiency of packages in the target logistics network. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0013] It should be noted that although functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0014] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0015] With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce and global trade, cross-border e-commerce business has experienced explosive growth, and the volume of international parcel business has increased exponentially. Faced with massive and continuously growing cross-border logistics demands, modern warehousing and sorting centers have placed higher requirements on parcel handling capacity, throughput, and sorting efficiency.

[0016] Due to the high time sensitivity of international parcels and the complex customs and logistics processes involved in cross-border transportation, such as security pre-declaration, customs declaration, inspection, and flight loading, modern logistics transfer centers cannot rely solely on the independent operation of a single site to complete the entire parcel processing chain.

[0017] In actual operations, parcels often need to be processed collaboratively by multiple sorting nodes with different functions, such as collection sites, transit sites, and departure sites. During the actual circulation process, parcels need to be transferred in an orderly manner between the above-mentioned nodes, and the sorting plans and routing trajectories of each node are matched in real time through data interaction between the nodes, so as to ensure the efficient export of international parcels.

[0018] In related technologies, the sorting logic of logistics transfer centers is mainly based on the barcode information on the express waybill or the RFID tag information bound to small packages. After the packages enter the main sorting line from the unloading port, the package information is automatically read by a six-sided scanner or RFID channel machine, and sorted according to the pre-configured sorting plan. The systems of each sorting site are usually built independently, mainly including basic modules such as package information collection, sorting plan matching, and route trajectory generation. Each site operates independently, and only exchanges basic data through a high-level control system (HLCS).

[0019] However, in complex logistics transfer centers, the systems at each sorting site operate in isolation, lacking cross-site collaborative sorting control logic. Due to the lack of unified scheduling of sorting logic across sites, parcels are prone to problems such as chaotic flow paths, incomplete or mismatched transfer routes during cross-site handover, increasing the risk of missorting and rework, ultimately leading to low parcel processing accuracy and overall flow efficiency. Simultaneously, existing sorting systems struggle to address the challenge of sorting mixed international and domestic parcels. International parcels involve unique customs declaration, inspection, and shipping procedures, and existing systems cannot accurately identify and differentiate between international and domestic parcels within the same logistics center. Relying solely on traditional waybill routing information and fixed sorting plans cannot meet the customized sorting and outbound processing needs of international parcels in various scenarios.

[0020] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a parcel processing method and apparatus, electronic device and storage medium, which aim to establish cross-site collaborative sorting control logic, standardize the flow path of parcels when they are handed over across sites, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of parcel processing.

[0021] The package processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium provided in this application are specifically described through the following embodiments. First, the package processing method in this application is described.

[0022] The parcel processing method provided in this application relates to the field of smart logistics technology. The parcel processing method provided in this application can be applied to a terminal, a server, or software running on either a terminal or a server. In some embodiments, the terminal can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, etc.; the server can be configured as an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms; the software can be an application implementing the parcel processing method, but is not limited to the above forms.

[0023] This application can be used in a wide variety of general-purpose or special-purpose computer system environments or configurations. Examples include: personal computers, server computers, handheld or portable devices, tablet devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set-top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and distributed computing environments including any of the above systems or devices. This application can be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions executed by a computer, such as program modules. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc., that perform specific tasks or implement specific abstract data types. This application can also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices connected via a communication network. In distributed computing environments, program modules can reside in local and remote computer storage media, including storage devices.

[0024] Figure 1 This is an optional flowchart of the package processing method provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 The method may include, but is not limited to, steps S101 to S105.

[0025] Step S101: Obtain the package attributes of the target package. The package attributes include the association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier, the package type, the cross-border identifier, the origin site type, and the sorting control attributes. Step S102: Match the correlation data with the manifest data in the pre-declaration system. When the match is successful, generate the declaration information to be verified for the target package based on the correlation data and the manifest data. Step S103: Push the declaration information to be verified to the declaration verification system for information verification. When the verification is passed, the sorting system is scheduled to sort the target package to the international shipment collection site according to the sorting control attributes and the origin site type. Step S104: Generate transfer route data based on origin site type, parcel type and cross-border identification, and schedule the sorting system to sort the target parcel from the international parcel consolidation site to the departure site according to the transfer route data. Step S105: Load the target parcel in the departure area onto a vehicle for departure according to the master waybill identifier.

[0026] The parcel processing method provided in this application is applied to a target control system. In actual scheduling and operation, the target control system can be a high-level control system responsible for data interaction, scheduling logic calculation, and sorting instruction issuance, performing global sorting and scheduling for the target logistics center. The target logistics center is a comprehensive logistics system undertaking cross-border parcel delivery tasks. It includes an international parcel consolidation area and a departure area. The international parcel consolidation area is used to centrally receive and temporarily store parcels from different regions or channels awaiting export, and to perform pre-processing such as sorting, counting, consolidation, or boxing. The departure area is where parcels, after completing consolidation and other processes, await loading onto cross-border transport vehicles (such as cargo planes, container ships, or cross-border trucks) and leave the border. This application integrates the international parcel consolidation area and the departure area into a unified target logistics center, and through collaborative sorting and scheduling via the target control system, effectively connects the consolidation and departure stages, eliminates scheduling barriers between different areas, and thus improves the processing efficiency of international parcels.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This demonstrates the overall topology and system interaction architecture of the international parcel consolidation area within the multi-site collaborative sorting system of the target logistics center. At the target logistics center, the international parcel consolidation area, serving as the international small parcel center (site code 711VZ), is located on the third floor of the landside (i.e., the third-floor small parcel steel platform area), undertaking the tasks of centralized reception, sorting, and processing of international small parcels. Figure 2 The demonstration showcased parcels from various sources scattered across the ground floor of the park: express parcels from landside unloading area A, landside final section L, landside pre-section B, domestic airside final section R, and airside pre-section D. This embodiment efficiently and smoothly aggregates international parcels to the international parcel collection site through automated multi-line transmission and cross-system collaborative scheduling, effectively solving the problems of chaotic flow paths and difficulty in coordinating the mixed sorting of international and domestic parcels when multiple sites operate in parallel.

[0028] Figure 2The system comprises a bottom-level functional work area, a middle-level transmission and control line, and a top-level target processing area. The bottom-level area includes multiple nodes such as the landside unloading line (Area A), land-side final sorting (Area L), land-side pre-sorting (Area B), civil aviation security screening machine (Area C), air pre-sorting (Area D), domestic air final sorting (Area R), ZB international cargo handling area, and G international island. After parcels are unloaded from the landside or airside and enter the assembly line, they are sorted by the 104 / 204 line controlled by the target control system and the new line controlled by the sorting system (specifically, the Automated Sorting Control System (ASCS)) to the international consolidation area and the third-floor small parcel steel platform. The target control system is responsible for intelligent matching of cross-site sorting plans and business rule determination, while the ASCS system is responsible for the adaptation and accurate distribution of the new line equipment at the bottom level. Working closely together, the two systems precisely guide parcels with different attributes from the landside and airside along the lifting tracks to the third-floor international consolidation area and the third-floor small parcel steel platform.

[0029] In step S101, after the target package arrives at the target logistics center, the target control system can receive the sorting request for the target package and obtain the package attributes. The target package includes ordinary packages (non-international / non-domestic packages) and packages awaiting export (international packages). This application can accommodate the mixed processing of ordinary packages and packages awaiting export. By reading package attributes such as cross-border identification and origin site type, the package is diverted to ensure that both types of packages can complete the entire chain of flow from collection to departure according to their respective business requirements.

[0030] Package attributes can be read by automated identification devices (such as dual-sided scanners or RFID channel machines) or obtained from upstream data nodes. Package attributes include the association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier, package type, cross-border identifier, origin site type, and sorting control attributes. The master waybill identifier represents the bill of lading number or master order number for the entire batch of cross-border packages or packages within the same batch. The package identifier is the barcode code or package number of a single package or container. The association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier is centrally maintained by the Key Tracking System (KTS) and can be sent to the target control system in real time via message queues such as Kafka. Package type reflects the packaging form of the target package during its flow, such as single shipment (a single package in a loose state, not yet packaged or caged, flowing independently on the assembly line) and small package (i.e., UNPACK package, the package identifier is prefixed with UNPACK, indicating that although the package is managed as a package, it contains a collection of unpackaged packages). Cross-border identification is used to identify whether the target package involves cross-border logistics business and whether it belongs to international cross-border shipments that require customs declaration or clearance procedures. For example, it is marked with a 9610 cross-border e-commerce product code (such as T60, T4, or T6 products). The origin site type is used to clarify the original place of origin of the target package before it enters the target logistics center. The target control system determines the origin site type by reading the cage-building site field. The value of the cage-building site field is determined based on the site to which the employee who performed the cage-building action belongs when the container is generated. For example, when the cage-building site field value is 711VZ, the target package is determined to have originated from the 711VZ International Parcel Center. Sorting control attributes include destination codes (such as destination field K1=711VZ) used to guide sorting equipment to place the package, UNPACK prefix identifiers, and no-shipment-task identifiers (such as LPGJ009PACK) that are defaulted to by the key tracking system when the package is built.

[0031] In step S102, the Global Handling System (GHS) can send pre-opened manifest data containing the master air waybill number, flight number, and basic declaration data to the pre-declaration system. The Global Handling System provides security pre-declaration data and pre-opened manifest information. The manifest data refers to the electronic bill of lading message pre-generated by the air or logistics carrier during the booking and flight planning stages, containing customs declaration data such as the master air waybill identifier, flight number, shipper and consignee names, addresses, contact numbers, and cargo names. The target control system compares and verifies the master air waybill identifier with the master air waybill identifier in the manifest data. When the master air waybill identifier matches successfully, the target control system uses the master air waybill identifier as a linking bridge to assemble and match the corresponding parcel identifier with the flight number, consignor / consignee information, and cargo name in the manifest data, thereby generating a pending verification declaration information containing complete detailed data of the target parcel. This pending verification declaration information is the pre-declaration information. The pending verification declaration information is a structured electronic data package used for subsequent security checks and customs pre-declaration review.

[0032] This embodiment uses a distributed message queue as a data transmission channel, which enables data decoupling and low-latency interaction between the key tracking system, sorting support system and high-level control system in high-concurrency business scenarios. This allows international parcels to complete the automatic association and pre-declaration data construction of master waybill identifier, parcel identifier and manifest data before arriving at the physical sorting site, providing accurate data support for subsequent rapid security inspection and differentiated sorting.

[0033] In step S103, the target control system pushes the declaration information to be verified in batches to a third-party or dedicated declaration verification system (such as the security check pre-declaration verification system of the First Public Security Bureau) for compliance and security verification via a Kafka message queue or standard interface. After the declaration verification system reports that the verification has passed, the target control system, in conjunction with the origin site type and sorting control attributes of the target package, schedules the sorting system to sort the target package to the designated international parcel collection area (such as the 711VZ International Small Parcel Center on the third floor of the landside) via a conveyor line. The sorting system can be an ASCS (Automatic Standards and Control System).

[0034] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3This demonstrates the process of a target parcel being consolidated at the international consolidation yard and then shipped from the 711Z departure yard as loose cargo. The process involves data collaboration and interaction between four systems: the Key Tracking System (KTS), the Global Handling System (GHS, which provides pre-declaration data for security checks), the sorting system, and the Public Security Bureau's First Division (declaration and verification system). The process begins with the KTS creating a parcel, establishing the association between the master manifest number, cage number, and parcel number. After booking, the GHS generates pre-shipment data, which includes the master manifest number and the corresponding flight number. Subsequently, the sorting system uses the master manifest number as a matching bridge, comparing the parcel or item number pushed by the KTS with the manifest data pushed by the GHS. Matching dimensions include key fields such as product name, shipper information, and consignee information. After matching, the sorting system processes the successfully matched pre-declaration information, performing a de-recursive operation to resolve the master manifest number into the corresponding parcel identifier. Next, the sorting system, using the master waybill as the dimension, pushes the parsed package number or piece number along with the master waybill number to the First Public Security Bureau through the information sharing layer in batches, thereby completing the verification process for the pre-declaration of security checks. For bulk cargo flights, this process is not currently included in the processing scope; that is, the current solution mainly applies to scheduled flight scenarios, and the pre-declaration process for bulk cargo flights is not currently involved. It should be noted that "information sharing" in the diagram refers to the specific module or interface identifier in the information sharing layer responsible for data forwarding, used to receive data pushed by KTS and forward it to the sorting system.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The sorting system is scheduled to sort target packages to international consolidation areas based on sorting control attributes and origination site type, including: Step S401: When the sorting control attribute represents a single shipment mode and the originating site type represents an international shipment consolidation site type, skip the consolidation compliance verification logic of the target package and schedule the sorting system to sort the target package to the international shipment consolidation site. Step S402: When there is a preset uncollected package identifier in the package identifier, determine the sorting control attribute characterizing the bulk package collection mode, and schedule the sorting system to sort the target package to the international shipment collection site according to the bulk package collection mode. Step S403: When a preset no-shipment-task label exists in the package identifier, determine the sorting control attribute characterizing the no-shipment-task mode, and schedule the sorting system to sort the target package to the international shipment consolidation site according to the no-shipment-task mode.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the cage construction site field value corresponds to an international parcel consolidation site (e.g., 711VZ International Parcel Center), the target control system determines the origin site type of the target parcel as an international parcel consolidation site type.

[0037] In step S401, when the destination code field in the sorting control attribute is an international parcel consolidation site (e.g., 711VZ International Parcel Center) and the sorting control attribute represents a single-shipment mode, the target control system activates the sorting control strategy for the specific scenario described above. The single-shipment mode refers to the target parcel being in a scattered state without being consolidated. The consolidation compliance verification logic, also known as the "should-be-consolidated" verification logic, is a review rule set by the logistics sorting process to standardize parcel loading. It determines whether the target parcel should be placed in a container bag, cage, or pallet for consolidation and transportation, including verification of the target parcel's length, width, height, weight, and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) label matching. In this embodiment, the target control system skips the consolidation compliance verification logic for the target parcel and directly issues sorting scheduling instructions, thereby avoiding the situation where single-shipments fail to meet consolidation conditions and are mistakenly intercepted or abnormally processed on the sorting line, ensuring the smooth sorting of specific types of parcels.

[0038] After bypassing the package compliance verification logic, the target control system sends a control message to the sorting system, scheduling the conveyor lines and sorting execution mechanisms within the sorting system to accurately sort the target packages to the international shipment consolidation area. During the sorting and transport process, if the on-site scanning equipment (such as the OBR2404 dual-sided scanner that supports left and right-side acquisition) fails to successfully read the package barcode information, the target control system can trigger the preset abnormality containment control logic, scheduling the conveyor lines to sort the corresponding target packages to the corresponding international shipment consolidation area, so that operators can perform subsequent manual verification and containment processing.

[0039] In step S402, the target control system performs keyword retrieval on the package identifier of the target package. When a preset unpacked identifier is detected in the package identifier, such as an unpacked type identifier with text prefixes like UNPACK, UNPACK1, or UNPACK2, the target control system can determine the sorting control attribute of the target package to characterize the bulk cargo collection mode. The unpacked identifier is a data tag used to indicate that the package is in a bulk cargo state and has not been packaged in a standard container; the bulk cargo collection mode is the collection mode configured by the target control system for unpacked bulk cargo.

[0040] The target control system matches the corresponding bulk cargo collection and sorting plan based on the bulk cargo collection mode, and sends drive control signals to the sorting system according to the bulk cargo collection and sorting plan. The sorting system schedules the conveyor line and sorting equipment according to the drive control signals, and directly sorts the target packages with uncollected packages to the international shipment collection area, without going through a complicated disassembly process, so that the bulk cargo packages can be gathered to the designated international shipment collection area.

[0041] In step S403, the target control system retrieves the control tags assigned to the target package by the key tracking system during the package creation or data initialization phase. When a preset no-fly-assignment task tag (e.g., LPGJ009PACK tag) is detected in the package identifier or additional control attributes, the target control system can determine that the sorting control attribute of the target package represents the no-fly-assignment task mode. The no-fly-assignment task tag is a logical status identifier indicating that the international package has not yet completed capacity resource matching and lacks a corresponding air flight allocation plan. The no-fly-assignment task mode is a control mode used to guide the temporary storage and dynamic status tracking of unassigned packages.

[0042] Based on the no-shipment-assignment task mode, the target control system generates corresponding receiving and sorting instructions and sends these instructions to the sorting system. The conveyor line is then scheduled to sort the target parcels to the temporary storage area of ​​the international parcel consolidation yard. While the target parcels are stored in the international parcel consolidation yard, the target control system monitors their shipment status. Once capacity scheduling is complete, the Sorting Support System (SSS) or critical tracking system receives a request to cancel the no-shipment-assignment task tag and removes the tag from the background dataset, making the target parcels ready for subsequent transfer and outbound sorting.

[0043] This embodiment automatically skips the package consolidation compliance verification logic in the single-shipment mode, reducing the risk of false interception of single shipments due to physical parameters or SOP rules in the consolidation and sorting process. By identifying the "unconsolidated package" identifier, it initiates the bulk cargo consolidation mode, enabling direct sorting and rapid consolidation of unpackaged bulk cargo to the international shipment consolidation site. Furthermore, by identifying the "no-shipment-task" tag, it initiates the "no-shipment-task" mode, achieving orderly reception and status tracking of unshipped parcels. Thus, this embodiment reduces sorting obstacles and system anomaly rates when parcels of different shapes and statuses enter the international shipment consolidation site, improving the automation level and multi-mode collaborative processing capabilities of consolidation and sorting.

[0044] In step S104, after the target parcel is processed or handled as loose cargo at the international consolidation site, the target control system comprehensively considers multiple factors such as the origin site type, parcel type, and cross-border identification (e.g., product codes T60, T4, T6, or international export identification) to generate corresponding transfer routing data. This transfer routing data includes loading and unloading route trajectory messages of the target parcel's movement between different sites (e.g., FVP30 format route trajectory messages, explicitly recording loading route nodes at the origin site and unloading route nodes at the destination site). Based on the transfer routing data, the target control system schedules the sorting system to control the sorting line and scanning nodes (e.g., OBR5611 or OBR5501 scanner nodes) to sort and transfer the target parcel from the international consolidation site to the corresponding departure site (e.g., departure site 711Z, which includes departure sorting areas such as G International Island). For LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments departing from the international consolidation yard, the target control system incorporates the master waybill identifier from the correlation data as a sorting tag into the sorting plan (e.g., configured in the additional info field), forming LCL sorting constraints based on the master waybill identifier (e.g., a precise sorting rule where one master waybill identifier corresponds to one pallet and one slot, where one pallet represents one flight's pallet / container). For specific types of cross-border shipments (e.g., express shipments exempt from inspection under the 9610 customs supervision code), the target control system, based on its attribute of not requiring customs declaration and inspection, directly schedules the sorting system according to the transfer routing data to guide it to a dedicated sorting channel in the departure yard (e.g., the dedicated sorting area for inspection-exempt shipments on Island 2 within the G International Island area), achieving efficient transfer sorting.

[0045] In some embodiments, transshipment routing data is generated based on the origin site type, parcel type, and cross-border identification, including: When the originating site type represents the international shipment consolidation site type, transfer route data from the international shipment consolidation site to the departure site is generated based on the cross-border identification and diversion type. When the originating site type represents a general cargo collection site type, transfer routing data connecting the transit site and the departure site is generated based on the parcel type.

[0046] In this embodiment, the originating site type also includes a general consolidation site type, the parcel attributes also include a diversion type, and the target logistics center also includes a transit site. The general consolidation site type corresponds to the general consolidation site with the identification code 711H. The general consolidation site can include a land-side general consolidation site and an air-side general consolidation site. The land-side general consolidation site is used to receive and process various parcels arriving via land transport trunk lines, while the air-side general consolidation site is used to receive and process various parcels arriving via air transport trunk lines. Furthermore, in the originating site identification logic, 711H is also defined as the default originating site. When the value of the cage-building site field maintained by the key tracking system is not equal to 711VZ or is empty, the parcel is determined to have originated from site 711H. Simultaneously, in the outbound scenario of air-side transfer to other ports, 711H also serves as the unloading destination node after leaving 711VZ (generating a transfer route from 711VZ to 711H). The transit site is mapped to the international cargo handling and transit area with the identification code 711ZB. It is used to handle the intermediate sorting process of parcels between consolidation and departure. The diversion type is a structured business parameter that represents the flow direction and sorting strategy of parcels between different functional areas or sorting areas within the target logistics center.

[0047] Specifically, when the originating site type is determined to represent the international shipment consolidation site type, the target control system reads the parcel data maintained by the key tracking system, extracts the cross-border identification and diversion type, and generates transfer route data from the international shipment consolidation site directly to the departure site based on the cross-border identification and diversion type. The transfer route data refers to structured link information used to guide and record the cross-site transfer, loading, and unloading operations of parcels between different physical sites, including loading route nodes, unloading route nodes, and corresponding trajectory messages (e.g., FVP30 format routing messages).

[0048] When a target parcel carries a cross-border identification mark indicating cross-border export and its diversion type corresponds to departure transfer, the target control system can automatically cancel the original multi-level transit nodes (such as the transit path between transit site 711ZB and general consolidation site 711H), and trigger the generation of a transfer route from the international consolidation site (such as site 711VZ) directly to the departure site (such as departure site 711Z and international island checkpoint) by a designated scanning node (such as OBR5611 scanner), thereby reducing the repeated loading, unloading and dwell time of parcels in intermediate sites.

[0049] When the originating site type represents a general consolidation site type, the target control system can obtain the parcel type of the target parcel to determine the corresponding transshipment route planning strategy. The general consolidation site type mainly corresponds to the receiving and sorting area that connects to the land transport trunk network and accepts express shipments arriving by road transport (e.g., the 711H general consolidation site). The parcel type is a classification identifier based on the parcel's service product attributes, cargo form, or transportation timeliness requirements, such as logistics product codes (e.g., T60, T4, T6) or type characteristics like loose cargo or packaged goods.

[0050] Then, the target control system can generate transfer route data connecting the transit site and the departure site based on the parcel type. The transfer route data is automatically generated after being triggered by an associated scanning node (such as the OBR5501 scanner). Parcels arriving at the general collection site are introduced into the transit site for unified sorting and filtering, and transfer trajectories to the departure site are established for parcels that meet the criteria. This achieves efficient connection and cross-site collaborative scheduling between land-side (or air-side) collection, transit sorting and departure.

[0051] This embodiment accurately generates transfer routes based on multi-dimensional business characteristics such as origin site type, cross-border identification, diversion type, and parcel type, breaking the limitations of traditional single-site independent operation and static route scheduling. On the one hand, for cross-border parcels originating from international consolidation sites, by generating transfer routes directly to the departure site, the cross-site flow link is shortened, reducing repeated loading, unloading, and handling losses at intermediate sites. On the other hand, for parcels originating from general consolidation sites, by combining parcel types to construct collaborative routes connecting transit sites and departure sites, the effective connection of express parcels arriving at the logistics center from the air or land side during transit sorting and departure is ensured. Thus, this embodiment can improve the automation level of multi-site collaborative sorting and the flexibility and accuracy of route allocation, prevent parcel flow chaos and route trajectory interruption problems, and improve the efficiency of cross-site parcel sorting and transfer in the logistics center.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the originating site type represents the international shipment consolidation site type, transshipment route data from the international shipment consolidation site directly to the departure site is generated based on the cross-border identification and diversion type, including: When the originating site type represents the type of international shipment consolidation site, the cross-border identification represents the target package as a non-international shipment, and the diversion type represents airside diversion, transfer route data from the international shipment consolidation site directly to the departure site is generated. Correspondingly, when the originating site type represents a general consolidation site type, transfer routing data connecting the transit site and the departure site is generated based on the parcel type, including: When the originating site type represents a general consolidation site type and the parcel type is a high-time-sensitive parcel type, transfer route data from the general consolidation site directly to the departure site is generated. When the originating site type represents a general consolidation site type and the parcel type is a low-time-sensitivity parcel type, transfer route data connecting the general consolidation site, transit site, and departure site is generated.

[0053] In this embodiment, parcel types are classified based on the service product level and transportation timeliness requirements of the parcels. These include high-timeliness parcel types (e.g., air express or high-priority products, parcels with product code T60) and low-timeliness parcel types (e.g., parcels with product codes T6 or T4) that represent high sorting and transfer timeliness requirements, and low-timeliness parcel types that represent regular timeliness requirements. Diversion types include airside diversion, which is a structured control parameter used by the target control system to guide and allocate sorting paths for target parcels to airside air transport nodes or air departure areas. The target logistics center also includes general-purpose collection areas (e.g., the 711H area, which covers both landside and airside collection functions) for centralized reception and initial screening of various arriving parcels. By subdividing parcel types into high-timeliness and low-timeliness categories and combining them with airside diversion strategies, the target control system can differentiate and route parcels with different timeliness requirements in the general-purpose collection area, prioritizing the rapid flow of high-timeliness parcels to airside transfer channels. This achieves precise multi-site collaborative sorting and reasonable matching of transportation resources within the target logistics center based on service timeliness.

[0054] Specifically, when the originating site type represents an international shipment consolidation site, the cross-border identifier represents a non-international shipment, and the diversion type represents airside diversion, transfer route data is generated for direct transport from the international shipment consolidation site to the departure site. The originating site type is an international shipment consolidation site, corresponding to the physical site identifier code 711VZ (i.e., International Parcel Center). When the cross-border identifier indicates a non-international shipment, it means that although the target package is in the 711VZ consolidation area, it is actually a domestic shipment or a package intended for domestic airside transshipment to other ports of departure, and therefore does not require complex customs declaration or inspection procedures at the current site. The diversion type represents airside diversion, indicating the path control strategy issued by the target control system to guide the package to the air transport channel or airside departure area. The departure site, corresponding to the physical site identifier code 711Z, is the operational site used for final air loading and outbound shipment. The target control system, combining the aforementioned originating site (711VZ), parcel business attributes (non-international shipments), and diversion strategy (airside diversion), automatically matches and generates direct transfer route data (e.g., loading and unloading vehicle route trajectory messages in FVP30 format) connecting 711VZ and 711Z. This routing data allows non-international shipments to bypass intermediate cargo handling or transfer sites (such as 711ZB) and directly flow to the 711Z departure site via a cross-site direct channel, thereby simplifying the flow steps of non-international parcels within the international consolidation area and improving the cross-site scheduling efficiency of airside departing parcels.

[0055] When the originating site type represents a general consolidation site type and the parcel type is a high-time-sensitivity parcel type, transfer route data from the general consolidation site directly to the departure site is generated. The originating site type is a general consolidation site type, corresponding to the physical site identification code 711H. Site 711H includes landside and airside general consolidation sites, which are used for centralized reception and initial screening of various general parcels arriving from landside or airside trunk lines, respectively. When the target control system identifies that a parcel originates from the 711H general consolidation site and belongs to the high-time-sensitivity parcel type, it can skip the intermediate secondary sorting and buffering process at the transit site (711ZB) and directly generate direct transfer route data connecting the 711H general consolidation site and the 711Z departure site. This direct transfer route data directly guides the automated sorting equipment to allocate high-time-sensitivity parcels to direct loading or dedicated transfer channels, achieving rapid connection from the consolidation origin to the departure destination and effectively ensuring the fulfillment timeliness of high-time-sensitivity parcels.

[0056] When the originating site type represents a general consolidation site type and the parcel type is a low-time-sensitivity parcel type, the target control system can generate transfer route data connecting the general consolidation site, transit site, and departure site. The parcel type being a low-time-sensitivity parcel type indicates that the target parcel has relatively relaxed requirements for transportation timeliness and prioritizes loading rate and transportation cost; these are ordinary or economy parcels (such as express parcels with product code T6). The transit site corresponds to the physical site identification code 711ZB, indicating a site within the target logistics center used for secondary parcel consolidation, refined sorting by destination, and transitional buffering. When the target control system determines that the parcel originated from the 711H general consolidation site and belongs to the low-time-sensitivity parcel type, it can generate three-level transfer route data including the 711H general consolidation site, the 711ZB transit site, and the 711Z departure site. In the aforementioned route, low-time-sensitivity parcels are first transferred from the 711H general consolidation area to the 711ZB transit area for temporary storage and sorting. After consolidation, they are further transferred to the 711Z departure area for shipment. Thus, this embodiment effectively utilizes the buffering and storage functions of the 711ZB transit area, balancing the operational load of various areas within the target logistics center and improving the overall intensive utilization rate of transportation resources while meeting the timeliness requirements of ordinary express shipments.

[0057] This embodiment comprehensively considers multi-dimensional characteristics such as origin site type (e.g., 711VZ international parcel consolidation site, 711H general consolidation site), parcel business attributes (e.g., high / low time-sensitivity parcel types, non-international cross-border identification), and diversion type (e.g., airside diversion), achieving dynamic generation and accurate matching of transfer route data. Thus, this embodiment avoids unnecessary stagnation of non-international parcels and high-time-sensitivity parcels at transit sites, improving the cross-site flow efficiency of high-priority express parcels; at the same time, it fully leverages the transit site's role in regulating and consolidating low-time-sensitivity parcels, reducing site operation pressure during peak hours, thereby improving the collaborative sorting capabilities and data interaction consistency between multi-functional sites within the logistics center.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5A and 5B , Figure 5A This demonstrates the entire sorting process and routing rule change requirements for landside cargo collection, from initial online processing to final sorting at the port. Figure 5B This demonstrates the entire sorting process and routing rule change requirements in an airside cargo consolidation scenario, from initial online processing to final sorting at the port of departure. Figure 5A As shown, the target package is loaded onto the 711H landside system, undergoes the corresponding pre-sorting process, and then either merges into the landside pre-sorting system or flows into the 711VZ site via newly added equipment. During the collection and transfer process, the package needs to be inspected by the RAY5601 / 5602 / 5603 / 5604 civil aviation security scanners, and then the routing is triggered by the OBR5611 scanner. For example... Figure 5BAs shown, the target package is loaded onto the 711H airside and, after passing through the corresponding pre-sorting stage, is either incorporated into the airside pre-sorting or flows into the 711VZ site via newly added equipment. During the collection and transfer process, the package needs to undergo security checks through the RAY5601 / 5602 / 5603 / 5604 civil aviation security inspection machines, and then triggers the route upload via the OBR5611 scanner. The core requirement for both scenarios is the same: new transfer routes need to be added from 711H to 711VZ and from 711VZ to 711Z. Specifically, this involves adding a loading route 711H-FPV30 at 711H and an unloading route 711VZ-FPV31 at 711VZ; adding a loading route 711VZ-FPV30 at 711VZ and an unloading route 711Z-FPV31 at 711Z; and finally, adding a loading route 711Z-FPV30 at 711Z. This creates the transfer route data for 711H-711VZ-711Z (e.g., ...). Figure 5A and Figure 5B The content shown in the light gray box is as shown.

[0059] At the same time, the original transfer routes and related nodes from 711H to 711ZB and from 711ZB to 711Z after the package passes through 711VZ will be cancelled, that is, all the original 711H and 711ZB scanning nodes after 711VZ will be cancelled. In the original routing rules, the target package still has a 711H scanning node after passing through 711VZ. This is because the original sorting path was designed as a multi-segment route from the landside or airside collection point (711H) to the transit node (711ZB) and then to the departure area (711Z). After introducing 711VZ as the international shipment collection area, the target package needs to go through 711VZ to complete the collection process from the originating area 711H. Then, according to the original logic, it still needs to flow back to the original transit path through the relevant scanning nodes of 711H, i.e., "711H-711VZ-711H-711ZB-711Z". Therefore, the scanning nodes of 711H and 711ZB are still retained after 711VZ. The main purpose of eliminating these nodes in this embodiment is to simplify the transfer route and avoid path redundancy and trajectory confusion caused by packages returning to the origin or transit site after the collection and processing is completed. The original two-stage transit route (711H-711ZB, 711ZB-711Z) is merged into a direct transfer route (711VZ-711Z), so that packages go directly to the departure site 711Z after collection at 711VZ, thereby shortening the flow path and improving sorting efficiency.

[0060] Thus, the original multiple FVP30 and FVP31 routing messages from 711H to 711ZB and from 711ZB to 711Z are replaced by new FVP30 and FVP31 messages from 711VZ to 711Z, thereby simplifying the routing path. The main difference between the two scenarios lies in the starting sorting path: in the landside consolidation scenario, parcels enter the CHU104 channel of landside pre-sorting after being brought online from the 711H landside, while in the airside consolidation scenario, parcels enter the 711H airside, undergo airside pre-sorting, and then enter the landside pre-sorting. After the above process, parcels in both scenarios are finally converged at the international island for sorting.

[0061] In step S105, after the target parcel is sorted and placed into a designated pallet or slot at the departure area (e.g., departure area 711Z), the sorting system aggregates multiple target parcels under the same master waybill identifier. After the parcel falls into the slot from the sorting line and is palletized, it needs to be transferred to the apron for loading by ground transportation (e.g., tractor-trailers or vans) or transferred to the platform for loading by truck. The target control system matches the nearest flight or land transport loading plan within a preset time window (e.g., within 24 hours) based on the capacity routes issued by the capacity system. After loading is completed according to the loading plan, the target control system automatically reports the loading route message and departure route message to the trajectory system, realizing the departure of the target parcel.

[0062] In some embodiments, loading a target parcel in the departure area onto a truck for departure based on the master waybill identifier includes: Based on the master waybill identifier, match the target parcel with the target sorting exit in the departure area, and dispatch the sorting system to sort the target parcel to the target sorting exit; In response to loading instructions, the target parcel is loaded onto the vehicle and shipped out according to the loading instructions.

[0063] In this embodiment, specifically, after the target package enters the departure area (such as the departure shipping area with identification code 711Z) via a transfer route or cross-site cargo consolidation, the target control system, based on the master waybill identifier and combined with the association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier and the loading information maintained by the key tracking system, queries the departure sorting plan pre-loaded in the departure area, matches the master waybill identifier with each compartment or chute in the departure area, thereby accurately determining the target sorting exit (such as the international island compartment or designated departure chute) corresponding to the target package.

[0064] After the target sorting exit is determined, the target control system sends a sorting control command containing the exit identifier of the target sorting exit to the sorting system to schedule the sorting system to sort the target package to the target sorting exit. When the target package is sent into the sorting line from the package feeding station and passes through the scanning node, the sorting system controls the steering device or the drop-off mechanism according to the sent sorting command to accurately guide the target package into the corresponding collection slot when it arrives at the target sorting exit, completing the automated drop-off sorting in the departure area based on the master waybill identifier.

[0065] When the target parcels are gathered at the target sorting exit of the departure area and meet the conditions for loading and shipment, the system responds to the loading instruction and initiates the loading and departure business process. The loading instruction refers to the control task signal issued by the high-level control system or on-site operation terminal to instruct a specific batch or specific loading route of parcels to perform loading and departure operations. Loading and departure refers to the process of loading the parcels gathered at the sorting exit or container (such as container slots or pallets) into the corresponding transport vehicle or air cargo pallet, and completing the update of the departure status and sending of the route trajectory message.

[0066] On-site personnel or automated loading equipment load the target parcels according to the vehicle binding information and loading route in the loading instructions. Upon receiving a loading completion signal or a loading confirmation message triggered by an associated scanning node (such as an OBR5611 scanner), the target control system generates and uploads loading route data (such as an FVP30 format loading trajectory message) in real time and updates the target parcel's status to "loaded and departing." By standardizing and tracking loading actions through loading instructions, this embodiment effectively prevents misloading, omissions, and breaks in the departure trajectory, ensuring the target parcels smoothly enter subsequent air transport or trunk line shipment stages.

[0067] This embodiment improves the accuracy and automation of parcel sorting at the departure stage by using master waybill identifiers to accurately match and schedule target sorting exits at the departure site. Simultaneously, it standardizes loading and departure operations by incorporating loading instructions and triggering real-time departure trajectory updates, ensuring consistency between departure data and physical flow of parcels in multi-site collaborative scenarios. Thus, this embodiment improves the loading and dispatch efficiency of the departure site while enhancing the reliability and traceability integrity of the logistics collaboration system.

[0068] In some embodiments, in response to a loading instruction, loading the target package onto a truck for shipment according to the loading instruction includes: In response to loading instructions, determine the number of parcels associated with the currently assigned vehicle based on the loading instructions; When the number of parcels reaches the preset loading capacity threshold, a vehicle switching instruction is sent to the transportation system so that the transportation system can generate a new vehicle identifier based on the vehicle switching instruction. The target packages whose number exceeds the loading capacity threshold are associated with the new vehicle identifier, while the target packages whose number does not exceed the loading capacity threshold are loaded and shipped out.

[0069] In this embodiment, when a scanning node or collection slot in the departure area (such as the 711Z area) triggers a parcel loading action, the target control system responds to the loading command and initiates real-time counting and monitoring of the current loading workflow. The loading command is a control signal issued by the high-level control system or loading scanning terminal, instructing parcels within a designated area or collection zone to be loaded onto a specific transport vehicle. The currently assigned vehicle refers to a transport vehicle or virtual collection vehicle currently in a loading state and bound to a specific license plate number or vehicle logo. The target control system retrieves the loading database or memory counter, and based on the vehicle identifier and parcel scanning loading records carried in the loading command, it summarizes and accurately determines the number of target parcels associated with the currently assigned vehicle in real time.

[0070] The target control system compares the number of packages counted with a preset loading capacity threshold. The loading capacity threshold is a limit on the number of packages that can be loaded, which is set in advance based on the vehicle's carrying capacity, safe transportation regulations, or the virtual vehicle tag aggregation limit (e.g., the limit for a single vehicle tag is set to 500 packages). The capacity system is a system or tag management system used to uniformly schedule and manage vehicle number segments, loading routes, and vehicle capacity status. The new vehicle tag is a structured code (such as a new vehicle tag number or a new license plate number) assigned by the capacity system or generated in real time according to the tag rules to represent the next loading batch or a new vehicle.

[0071] When the target control system detects that the number of packages associated with the currently assigned vehicle has reached the loading capacity threshold, it determines that the vehicle is fully loaded and automatically sends a vehicle switching instruction to the capacity system. Upon receiving the vehicle switching instruction, the capacity system generates a new vehicle identifier through the number segment management allocation mechanism or rule engine and sends the new vehicle identifier to the target control system in real time.

[0072] After acquiring a new vehicle identifier, the target control system maintains the mapping relationship between the target parcel and the currently assigned vehicle for parcels whose number of parcels does not exceed the loading capacity threshold. After loading scanning is completed, the system dispatches automated equipment or prompts personnel to complete loading, triggering the generation of a loading route message and loading the parcels normally for shipment. Loading for shipment refers to the process where loading confirmation is completed, and the target control system automatically uploads loading route data (such as an FVP30 format loading trajectory message) to allow the parcel to enter the next transfer or outbound shipment stage. For target parcels whose number of parcels exceeds the loading capacity threshold (i.e., parcels overflowing during loading), the target control system automatically decouples them from the original fully loaded vehicle and binds them to a new vehicle identifier, classifying them for the next batch of loading control, thereby avoiding overloading risks and ensuring data consistency.

[0073] This embodiment monitors the number of associated parcels in real time and automatically triggers the transportation system to generate new vehicle identifiers when the loading capacity threshold is reached. This avoids the inefficiency and misloading / missing issues caused by manual intervention in assigning vehicle identifiers. At the same time, by smoothly loading and dispatching parcels that do not exceed the limit and accurately rebinding oversized parcels to new vehicle identifiers, it ensures the precise matching of parcel data and transportation carriers in multi-site collaboration and high-concurrency loading scenarios at the logistics hub. This maintains the integrity and traceability of routing trajectory messages and improves the level of automated management and overall operational efficiency of hub-level transshipment and dispatch.

[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This demonstrates the entire sorting process for parcels in the 711VZ (711VZ) consolidation scenario, from their initial packaging at the international shipment consolidation area, through security checks and sorting, to their final departure areas. The process begins in the small parcel packaging area (Area F) on the third floor of the landside. Parcels are packaged using NC (Non-Cataloger) machines before entering the international shipment consolidation area (711VZ). Parcels departing from 711VZ first enter the landside pre-sorting area (Area B), then undergo security checks using the civil aviation security scanner (Area C). After security checks, parcels are routed according to their business type: some enter the airside pre-sorting area (Area D), then proceed to the domestic air final sorting area (Area R) for air freight departure; others go directly to the international island (Area G), where they are sorted according to the plan and placed into numbered chutes (203, 202, 201, etc.). Furthermore, Figure 6 The pre-shipment area (Area B) also indicates another route that bypasses civil aviation security screening machines, directly transferring cargo from the pre-shipment area (Area B) to the landside unloading line (Area A) for land-based outbound transport. The ZB node, serving as a connecting node to the international tally area, is located on the path leading to the international island, and the configuration of four international security screening machines directly connected to the landside unloading line is also indicated on the map. In summary, Figure 6The three main diversion directions were demonstrated: land shipments departing the port do not pass through civil aviation security screening machines; air shipments departing the port pass through civil aviation security screening machines and are then sorted by air cargo terminal; and international shipments departing the port pass through civil aviation security screening machines and then directly enter the international island.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The package handling method provided in this application also includes: Step S701: When there are domestic departing parcels destined for the target customs clearance port among the target parcels sorted to the international parcel consolidation site, update the cross-border identification of the domestic departing parcels to the domestic transit identification of the target customs clearance port, cancel the no-shipment-task label in the parcel identification, and determine the shipping method of the domestic departing parcels. Step S702: When the shipping method is air shipment, generate loading routes for loading at the international shipment consolidation yard and unloading routes for unloading at the general consolidation yard, and generate first direct shipment transfer route data for direct shipment at the general consolidation yard. Step S703: When the shipping method is land shipping, filter the routing data containing general consolidation sites and generate second direct shipping transfer routing data for direct shipping to international consolidation sites.

[0076] In step S701, when the target parcel is transferred and sorted to the international parcel consolidation area (used for centralized reception and initial screening of international small parcels), the target control system verifies the business attributes and destination information of the target parcel. Domestic outbound parcels refer to express shipments whose destination is overseas, but which require customs clearance and dispatch procedures at other domestic target customs clearance ports besides the target logistics center; the target customs clearance port refers to the trunk node where the target parcel actually undergoes cross-border customs declaration and outbound dispatch. After the target control system identifies the target parcel as a domestic outbound parcel destined for the target customs clearance port, it updates its original cross-border identifier to a domestic transit identifier destined for the target customs clearance port, enabling the target control system to perform routing planning and scheduling management according to the processing rules for domestic transit parcels.

[0077] While updating domestic transit labels, the target control system simultaneously removes the "no allocation task" tag from parcel labels. Removing this tag prevents the target control system from mistakenly intercepting parcels due to the lack of direct flights to the target logistics center, thus lifting departure restrictions at the current location. Based on this, the target control system combines loading plans and capacity scheduling data to further determine the shipping method for domestic departing parcels. This shipping method can include air transport via trunk air routes or road transport via trunk road routes, providing a basis for subsequent accurate transshipment route data generation.

[0078] In step S702, when it is determined that the shipping method of the domestic outbound parcel is air shipment, the target control system first generates a loading route for loading at the international parcel consolidation yard (711VZ) (e.g., an FVP30 route trajectory message that records the loading status of 711VZ), and instructs the on-site equipment or operators to load the domestic outbound parcels onto the short-haul transfer vehicles inside the hub.

[0079] The target control system synchronously generates unloading routes for unloading at the general consolidation area (711H) (e.g., FVP31 route trajectory messages recording the unloading reception status at 711H), guiding shuttle vehicles to transport parcels to the 711H general consolidation area for unloading and inclusion in the consolidation flow. Subsequently, based on the 711H area's dispatch scheduling strategy, the target control system generates first direct-delivery transfer route data for direct shipment from the general consolidation area (e.g., route tracing guiding parcels directly from 711H to the departure area 711Z to connect with air cargo loading), thereby ensuring the smooth integration of domestic departing parcels into the hub's air shipment process and achieving cross-site collaborative sorting and transfer.

[0080] In step S703, when it is determined that the domestic outbound parcel is shipped by land, the target control system adopts a simplified route strategy of direct trunk delivery. Since trunk land transport vehicles can directly dock and load at the international parcel consolidation area (711VZ) without entering the general consolidation area (711H) for secondary consolidation or sorting, the target control system can automatically filter routing data containing the general consolidation area (i.e., remove intermediate node messages and sorting logic that transit through or pass through the 711H area), simplifying the parcel's flow path within the hub.

[0081] After filtering out transit nodes that include general consolidation areas, the target control system directly generates secondary direct-delivery transit route data for direct shipment from the international consolidation area (711VZ). This secondary direct-delivery transit route data refers to the routing control data used to instruct the automated sorting system and loading scanning equipment to guide parcels to the trunk land transport loading positions within the 711VZ and to automatically generate loading departure messages (such as FVP30 format trajectory messages). Through this secondary direct-delivery transit route data, domestic outbound parcels shipped by land can be directly loaded from the international consolidation area and dispatched to the target customs clearance port, effectively shortening the parcel's dwell time and handling distance within the hub.

[0082] This embodiment achieves accurate identification and differentiated routing scheduling of off-site customs clearance parcels within international consolidation yards. By updating cross-border identification to domestic transit identification and removing the restriction of no-shipment-task labels, it breaks through the traditional control barriers of international consolidation yards for non-local outbound parcels. Furthermore, based on different shipping methods such as air and land shipments, it flexibly segments the flow paths, generating loading / unloading and direct delivery routes via general consolidation yards for air-shipped parcels, and automatically filtering general consolidation yards for land-shipped parcels and generating direct delivery routes from the original yard. Thus, this embodiment avoids unnecessary transshipment and secondary handling of off-site customs clearance parcels within the hub, reduces yard transshipment costs, and improves the departure efficiency and system routing control accuracy of off-site customs clearance parcels.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This paper outlines the complete business logic for international parcels clearing customs at other ports, covering pre-declaration for security checks and two main transshipment routes: departure from the domestic landside and airside. It involves the parcel center KTS, GHS, SSS, sorting system, the First Public Security Bureau, and the routing tracking message system. The process begins with the parcel center KTS informing other ports of the quantity of 711VZ stockpiled parcels to be shipped. Simultaneously, GHS performs booking operations, the sorting system completes pre-shipment based on the master bill of lading number and flight number (including matching and processing of expected delivery time, product name, and cargo size for individual shipments), the First Public Security Bureau simultaneously enters pre-declaration information, and the FVP system prepares for 711VZ cage setup. Subsequently, the parcel center KTS removes the "no-shipment-task" label applicable to both 711Z and non-711Z departures during the 711VZ cage setup-barcode scanner stage, updates the parcel number and attachment information through the interface provided by SSS, and removes the international parcel identifier and "no-shipment-task" label from HLCS.

[0084] Next, the decision on whether to use air freight is made. If air freight (i.e., domestic air-side departure route) is selected, the parcel center KTS will record the maintenance relationship between the parcel number and the domestic flight master document number, and transmit the data to the SSS system via a Kafka message queue. The SSS system pushes the parcel number and master document number information to the sorting system, which maintains the domestic air-side final distribution plan according to the destination (e.g., 021, LGG, etc.). Under this plan, the sorting plan does not need to maintain the master document number, and the system will automatically complete the 711VZ loading route and 711H unloading route; if the FVP system identifies the existence of the 711H route, it will execute the 711H loading. At the same time, the sorting system sorts and matches the goods, completes palletizing and loading, and arranges flight departure. The First Public Security Bureau completes the final submission at this stage.

[0085] If air freight (i.e., the domestic inland departure route) is not selected, the process switches to the inland shipping logic. The parcel center KTS needs to enter a specific identifier as a virtual master tracking number, specifically used to distinguish international parcels and filter tracks. At the same time, the SSS system (used by HLCS) cancels the identifiers of international parcels destined for other ports. After a 10-minute buffer, the parcels are loaded onto the inland platform on the first floor. Driven by the inland data flow of the SSS system, the sorting system maintains the domestic inland final distribution plan according to the destination. At this time, the sorting plan also does not need to maintain the master tracking number, but as long as the system detects the master tracking number, all 711H tracks will be filtered and not uploaded. If the FVP system determines that there is no 711H route, it directly switches to 711VZ loading, and the sorting system simultaneously performs cargo sorting and matching.

[0086] Regardless of whether the route is air-side or land-side, all cargo ultimately converges at the final cargo collection stage for cage loading (e.g., 711VZ to other ports). At this stage, barcode scanners are used on-site for sequential barcode operation (no changes are needed at this stage), enabling individual loading and affixing of individual vehicle labels. Finally, the FVP system sequentially completes the loading and departure of 711VZ vehicles, thus concluding the entire customs clearance and departure process for shipments to other ports.

[0087] Steps S101 to S105 of this embodiment involve obtaining multi-dimensional package attributes of the target package, generating verification declaration information based on the matched correlation data and manifest data in the pre-declaration system, and pushing the declaration information to the declaration verification system for information verification. This achieves automated and accurate information pre-declaration, ensuring the compliance of packages before sorting. Upon successful verification, the target collection mode is matched based on sorting control attributes and origin site type, enabling differentiated collection of packages from different origins and types, ensuring the standardization and accuracy of package collection. Then, transfer routing data is generated by combining origin site type, package type, and cross-border identification, achieving accurate matching between transfer routing data and package business characteristics and cross-site transfer scenarios. The sorting system is then scheduled to sort packages from the collection site to the departure site based on the transfer routing data. Finally, packages in the departure site are loaded onto trucks for departure based on the master waybill identification, ultimately achieving the overall scheduling and closed-loop control of multiple sites by the target control system. Compared to related technologies where each sorting site operates independently and in isolation, lacking unified, cross-site collaborative sorting control logic, which easily leads to problems such as chaotic flow paths when packages are handed over across sites, this application breaks down the system islands and logical barriers between sites by using a target control system to coordinate and control multiple sites in a closed loop. This achieves collaborative control across logistics sites, improving the sorting accuracy and end-to-end flow efficiency of packages in the target logistics network.

[0088] Please see Figure 9This application also provides a parcel processing device 900, which can implement the above-mentioned parcel processing method and is applied to a target control system. The target control system is used to sort and schedule a target logistics center, which includes an international shipment collection area and a departure area. The device includes: The acquisition unit 910 is used to acquire the package attributes of the target package. The package attributes include the association data between the master waybill identifier and the package identifier, the package type, the cross-border identifier, the origin site type, and the sorting control attributes. The generation unit 920 is used to match the correlation data with the manifest data in the pre-declaration system. When the match is successful, it generates the declaration information to be verified for the target package based on the correlation data and the manifest data. The first scheduling unit 930 is used to push the declaration information to be verified to the declaration verification system for information verification. When the verification is passed, the sorting system is scheduled to sort the target package to the international shipment collection site according to the sorting control attributes and the origin site type. The second scheduling unit 940 is used to generate transshipment route data based on the origin site type, parcel type and cross-border identification, and to schedule the sorting system to sort the target parcel from the international parcel consolidation site to the departure site according to the transshipment route data. Loading and Departure Unit 950 is used to load and depart target parcels in the departure area according to the master waybill identifier.
