[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, an embodiment of the present application relates to a warehousing management system 10, including a goods pallet 100, a warehousing robot 200 and a control component. The control component is used to control the warehousing robot 200 so that the warehousing robot 200 transports the goods pallet 100 at a specified storage location. Goods 600 are placed on the goods pallet 100.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, an RFID tag 110 is provided on the goods pallet 100. The warehousing robot 200 is provided with an RFID reader / writer 220, and the RFID reader / writer 220 can read the RFID tag 110. Specifically, the RFID tag 110 is readable and writable, and information about the goods 600 on the goods pallet 100 and operation information about the transportation of the goods 600 can be written into the RFID tag 110 through the RFID reader / writer 220, so as to be placed in the warehouse. When it is necessary to take out the goods, the RFID reader / writer 220 is used to locate the goods pallet 100 to be taken out. Exemplarily, the information about the goods 600 may be an identification number, name, size, quantity, weight, storage location, and the operation information about the transportation of the goods 600 may be the operator, operation time, storage time.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in, the control component includes a control terminal and a processing module 300 provided on the warehousing robot 200. The RFID reader / writer 220 is communicatively connected to the processing module 300, and the control terminal is communicatively connected to the processing module 300. The processing module 300 responds to an instruction sent by the control terminal and controls the movement of the warehousing robot 200. The RFID reader / writer 220 can transmit the read information to the processing module 300, and the processing module 300 transmits the received information to the control terminal. The control terminal can be provided with a display screen, and the information received by the control terminal can be displayed on the display screen.
[0039] By operating the control terminal, instructions can be sent to the processing module 300. The instructions sent by the control terminal include specifying a storage location. In response to the instructions sent by the control terminal, the processing module 300 controls the warehouse robot 200 to move to the specified storage location so that the RFID reader / writer 220 can read the RFID tag 110 at the specified storage location.
[0040] By setting the RFID tag 110, the information of the goods 600 on the goods pallet 100 and the operation information of the handling of the goods 600 can be automatically sorted out, which can improve work efficiency and ensure the accuracy of data. By setting the RFID reader / writer 220 on the warehouse robot 200, instructions can be sent to the processing module 300 through the operation control terminal to drive the warehouse robot 200 to move to the specified position so that the RFID reader / writer 220 reads the RFID tag 110 at the specified storage location, which is convenient for monitoring the information of the goods pallet 100 and accurately positioning the goods pallet 100.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the RFID reader / writer 220 is wirelessly connected to the RFID tag 110.
