[0025] Specifically, the user opens the user ordering module composed of Meituan, Ele.me and self-developed applet to select goods and place an order, after the system background module receives the order of the user, it immediately generates a unique number for the order by using its own function, this number is like an "identity card" throughout the subsequent whole process, which is convenient for accurate tracking and management, the background analyzes the order in depth according to the preset algorithm, on the one hand, it analyzes the types and quantities of the goods in the order in detail, on the other hand, it closely combines the inventory in the current warehouse module to comprehensively judge whether the order has normal performance conditions;
[0026] If the inventory is full, the order information is transmitted to the warehouse module at a high speed through the data transmission module, if there is a shortage of some goods, the system notifies the user to push the shortage reminder and the carefully selected alternative goods suggestion in time, the user is patiently waited for feedback whether to accept the alternative scheme, at the same time, the data statistical analysis submodule in the system background module is activated to record the order related data comprehensively, which is used for subsequent detailed sales data analysis such as daily sales statistical analysis, monthly sales statistical analysis, hot-selling bestsellers and cold commodity analysis and sorting, to help the merchant optimize the goods configuration and inventory management strategy, after the controller group submodule of the warehouse module receives the order number and the goods information transmitted by the system background module through the data transmission module, the truss mechanical arm mechanism moves to the corresponding shelf position flexibly according to the instruction of the controller group submodule, and sorts the goods strictly according to the order requirements;
[0027] In the sorting process, the information verification sub-module compares the commodity information in real time, uses multiple verification methods to ensure accurate sorting, and sends the sorted commodities to the packaging area smoothly. The packaging sub-module selects appropriate packaging materials according to the size and characteristics of the commodities, packages the commodities neatly, and firmly pastes labels containing order numbers, commodity details, and delivery addresses on the packages, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent delivery process. The rider arrives at the pickup window module connected to the warehouse module, scans the dedicated two-dimensional code at the window using the delivery terminal, which maintains real-time communication with the system background module. The warehouse module accurately sends the packaged commodities to the pickup window upon scanning the code.
[0028] The whole process monitoring module runs all the time from the moment the user places an order, and monitors all aspects of the system without dead angles. At the inventory management level, the inventory monitoring sub-module continuously and dynamically monitors the inventory quantity of various commodities on the warehouse shelves. Once it detects that the inventory is below the preset threshold, it replenishes the goods on the shelves through the gantry mechanical arm mechanism and immediately sends a replenishment reminder to the merchant through the system notification function. The reminder content includes not only the commodity name and inventory quantity, but also detailed information such as the recommended replenishment quantity based on big data analysis, solving the problem of existing unmanned automatic vending systems, which are relatively simple in inventory management. When the inventory is insufficient, manual replenishment is required, making it difficult to achieve intelligent inventory monitoring and automatic replenishment functions. The equipment monitoring sub-module constantly monitors the running parameters of the controller group sub-module, gantry mechanical arm mechanism, packaging sub-module, and other equipment. Once it detects equipment failure or abnormality, such as mechanical arm jamming or insufficient packaging materials, it quickly issues a fault warning and an abnormal warning and notifies professional maintenance personnel to arrive at the scene for processing, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the system.
