[0011] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the configuration of a 3D integrated logistics management system according to one embodiment.

[0012] Server 1 collects, processes, and stores various information necessary for logistics management within the logistics center, and, as a response to requests such as searches and inquiries from the administrator terminal 2 and / or the operator terminal 3, collects and processes relevant data from the stored data to generate logistics data and transmits it to the administrator terminal 2 and / or the operator terminal 3. The various information necessary for logistics management can include information about the goods within the logistics center. The operator can equip the operator terminal 3 such as a smartphone, PDA, or tablet. The administrator can instruct commands necessary for integrated management and inquire about necessary information through the administrator terminal 2 such as an administrator terminal connected to the web. The administrator terminal 2 is not limited to the administrator terminal and may be a smartphone, PDA, tablet, etc. A wireless network is constructed between the server 1, the administrator terminal 2, and the operator terminal 3, and data transmission and reception through the wireless network with each other is possible. The wireless network method is not limited.

[0013] Server 1 can include a cloud server, a streaming server, an RTLS (Real Time Location System) server, and an IOT CORE. The database 10 can include cloud storage, an RDS (Relational Database Service) DB, and a DYNAMO DB. In FIG. 1, the server 1 and the database 10 are shown separated, but the server 1 can include the database 10. Server 1 stores various information necessary for logistics center management in the database 10, collects data requested by the request from the database 10, and can provide the collected data to the plurality of interfaces 21-26 and the operator terminal 3.

[0014] Administrator terminal 2 can display logistics data provided to administrator terminal 2 from server 1 and / or worker terminal 3 on a 3D screen through multiple interfaces provided by the Virtual Management System (VMS). The VMS can provide various interfaces necessary for managing goods in the logistics center. The VMS can be built on server 1 or administrator terminal 2.

[0015] Logistics management information entered through various interfaces provided by the VMS can be transmitted to Server 1 and / or Operator Terminal 3. Operator Terminal 3 is equipped with an operator application, which allows it to display logistics data provided by Server 1 and / or Administrator Terminal 2 on a 3D screen. Logistics management information entered through Operator Terminal 3 can be transmitted to Server 1 or Administrator Terminal 2 via the operator application. The 3D screen displays a 3D model that embodies the structure and interior of the logistics center, and the 3D modeling of the logistics center can be based on WebGL.

[0016] Server 1 includes a database in which work details, inventory lists, etc. can be stored. IoT Server 4 can collect real-time audio / video data from CCTV via RTSP through IoT and provide it to Server 1. IoT Server 4 can determine the location of personnel performing work using RTLS and provide it to Server 1. IoT Server 4 can continuously publish-write, subscribe-read, store, and process event streams from transport equipment, automation equipment, and fire safety equipment via MQTT (Message Queueing Telemetry Transport) and Kafka.

[0017] The administrator can perform inventory management, human resource management, equipment management, asset management, center management, message management, etc., through administrator terminal 2. Inventory management can include inventory search, tracking of incoming / outgoing and return / acceptance status, and work list generation. Human resource management can include management of employee attendance and work schedules. Equipment management can include management of transportation equipment, CCTV, automated equipment, fire safety equipment, etc. Asset management can include management of sales, profit and loss, orders, etc. Center management can include management of center transfers and center registrations. Message management can include management of message sending and message breakdowns, etc.

[0018] The administrator can query Server 1 via Administrator Terminal 2 for the location of equipment and various information about the equipment provided from IoT Server 4 to Server 1 for equipment management. The administrator can query Server 1 for relevant data to manage the status of incoming / outgoing goods and returns / acceptance. The administrator can transmit a query to Server 1 for the inventory they wish to search for in order to find stored inventory, and Server 1 can transmit information about that inventory to Administrator Terminal 2 as a response to the query. The administrator can query Server 1 for the information they need for asset management. The administrator can generate a work list via Administrator Terminal 2 and transmit it to the worker's terminal 3. The work list can include information about items that are the subject of receiving, outgoing goods, returns, and acceptances performed by the worker. The information about items can include information about the item name, item location, and item quantity.

[0019] The worker can transmit and receive messages to and from Server 1 via Terminal 3. Upon receiving a work list from Administrator Terminal 2, the worker scans the QR code recorded in the work list, and the location to be moved based on the scan result is received from Server 1 to Terminal 3. Server 1 can derive the location of the item closest to the worker's location among the items corresponding to the QR code received via the worker terminal 3, and recommend the location for the worker to move to. The worker can move to the location provided via the worker terminal 3 and authenticate (location authentication) that they have arrived at the location received from Server 1 via the worker terminal 3. The worker can use the worker terminal 3 to read the QR code, barcode, etc. attached to the rack where the item is located, and transmit the read information to Server 1. Server 1 can perform location authentication by comparing the location based on the received read information with the location transmitted to the worker terminal 3. If location authentication is completed, Server 1 can generate and upload a log record of work completion. If location authentication fails, Server 1 can generate and upload a log record of incomplete work.

[0020] Server 1 can generate work breakdowns and inventory lists and update them with new information. The information required for the work breakdowns and inventory lists can be provided from the worker terminal 3, IoT server 4, etc. Message transmission and reception are provided between Server 1 and the worker terminal 3, and various information can be sent and received from Server 1 to the worker terminal 3 or from the worker terminal 3 to Server 1.

[0021] Administrators can perform various management tasks through administrator terminal 2. Inventory management, human resource management, equipment management, asset management, center management, and message management can all be provided through administrator terminal 2.

[0022] The administrator terminal 2 can be provided with interfaces for inventory management, human resource management, equipment management, asset management, center management, and message management. For example, when an administrator selects buttons, icons, etc., on the screen of the administrator terminal 2 that indicate inventory management, human resource management, equipment management, asset management, center management, and message management, the interface for performing the selected management task can be provided on the screen of the administrator terminal 2. In one embodiment, the inventory management interface 21, human resource management interface 22, equipment management interface 23, asset management interface 24, center management interface 25, and message management interface 26 can be provided to the administrator terminal 2 from the server 1 via the web, or can be built and operated on the administrator terminal 2. Each interface can recognize information input from the outside, request information from the outside, process the recognized information or information received as a response to the request, and display the processing results to the outside. Each interface may include software, which is a set of command words for performing the configured operation, and communication hardware that transmits information requests to the outside and receives information from the outside.

[0023] The inventory management interface 21 can provide functions for searching for items within the logistics center, checking the status of incoming / outgoing goods and returns / acceptance, and confirming work lists. The status of incoming / outgoing goods and returns / acceptance for items within the logistics center includes the status of items being received into and / or received from the logistics center, items being outgoing and / or outgoing from the logistics center, items being returned to and / or returned to the logistics center, and items being inspected and / or inspected at the logistics center. The inventory management interface 21 can provide a search window through which the administrator can search for information about items. Information about items can include information about items received into the logistics warehouse, items being outgoing, items being returned, items undergoing inspection, etc. The inventory management interface 21 can generate a query requesting information about the item to be searched from the server 1, based on the information entered through the search window, and transmit it to the server 1. The server 1 can derive information about the item to be searched from the database as a response to the query and transmit it to the inventory management interface 21. The inventory management interface 21 can display information about received items on the administrator terminal 2. The inventory management interface 21 can provide a status inquiry window, through which the administrator can inquire about incoming / outgoing and returned / accepted status. The inventory management interface 21 transmits status inquiry requests entered by the administrator to the server 1, and the server 1 can collect status information for the items corresponding to the received status inquiry from the database and transmit it to the inventory management interface 21. The inventory management interface 21 can display the status information received by the administrator terminal 2 on the administrator terminal 2.

[0024] The inventory management interface 21 can display work lists for each of several practitioners on the administrator terminal 2. The administrator can modify and finalize multiple work lists for multiple practitioners through the inventory management interface 21. That is, the inventory management interface 21 can display work lists provided by the server 1 and receive input of information for modification or finalization of the work lists. Work lists finalized through the inventory management interface 21 can be transmitted to the practitioner terminal 3 of the corresponding practitioner. Work lists for each of several practitioners can be generated by the server 1 and provided from the server 1 to the administrator terminal 2. The inventory management interface 21 provides the finalized work lists to the administrator terminal 2, and the administrator terminal 2 can transmit the work lists for each of the multiple practitioners to the practitioner terminal 3. The administrator terminal 2 and the practitioner terminal 3 can be connected via a wireless network. As described above, the server 1 generates the work lists, but the invention is not limited to this. A VMS driven by the server 1 can generate work lists, but if the VMS is driven by the administrator terminal 2, the administrator terminal 2 can generate the work lists.

[0025] The Human Resource Management Interface 22 can provide an interface for managing human resource management information related to the attendance and work schedules of workers employed at the logistics center. When a request for human resource information regarding a specific worker is entered by an administrator, the Human Resource Management Interface 22 can request human resource management information for that specific worker from Server 1. In response to the request, Server 1 can collect human resource management information for the specific worker from the database and transmit it to the Human Resource Management Interface 22. The Human Resource Management Interface 22 can request Server 1 to save information in the database, modify information stored in the database, or query information stored in the database. Certain information may include attendance information such as clock-in and clock-out times for each worker, as well as information regarding their work schedule for a specific period. Server 1 can save the human resource management information in the database.

[0026] The equipment management interface 23 can provide an interface for managing equipment information related to transportation equipment, CCTV, automation equipment, fire protection equipment, etc., located in the logistics center. The equipment management interface 23 can request information such as the location and type of equipment from server 1 and display the equipment information received from server 1. Server 1 can store the equipment information in a database.

[0027] The asset management interface 24 can provide an interface for managing asset information related to sales, profit and loss, orders, etc., of the logistics center. The asset management interface 24 can request asset information from server 1 and display the asset information received from server 1. Server 1 generates and stores information such as sales, profit and loss, and orders of the logistics center in a database, and can collect the information requested from the database in response to the request from the asset management interface 24 and transmit the collected information to the asset management interface 24.

[0028] The center management interface 25 can provide an interface for managing center information related to center registration, center transfer, etc. Center registration means registering information for a new logistics center with server 1, and center transfer can mean changing the logistics center displayed through the administrator terminal 2. Server 1 can store center information for each of multiple logistics centers in a database.

[0029] The message management interface 26 can provide an interface for managing message information, such as the breakdown of messages sent and received, between the administrator terminal 2 and the user terminal 3 via the server 1. The message management interface 26 can request the server 1 to transmit messages to the user terminal 3, and can receive messages transmitted from the user terminal 3 to the server 1. The message management interface 26 can request message information from the server 1 and display the message information received from the server 1. The server 1 can store information about messages sent and received between the administrator terminal 2 and the user terminal 3 in a database.

[0030] Within the logistics center, multiple pieces of equipment are located that are connected to the IoT (Internet of Things) server 4 via wireless communication. For example, CCTV, transportation equipment, automation equipment, fire-fighting equipment, and equipment carried by human workers can send and receive information wirelessly with the IoT server 4. The IoT server 4 sends and receives information with CCTV using RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), transportation equipment, automation equipment, and fire-fighting equipment send and receive information using the MQTT (Message Queueing Telemetry Transport) protocol or the Kafka protocol, and portable equipment can send and receive information using RTLS (Real-time locating system).

[0031] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a partial configuration of a logistics integrated management system according to one embodiment.

[0032] The 3D logistics integrated management system 100 may include a cloud server 110, cloud storage 120, a WebGL engine 130, a streaming server 140, an RTLS server 150, an IoT server 160, an RDS DB 170, and a Dynamo DB 175.

[0033] The cloud server 110 can collect and process information from its database to be provided as a response to each of the requests from the multiple interfaces 21 to 26 described above, and provide it to the multiple interfaces 21 to 26. The cloud server 110 can also collect and process information provided as a response to requests from the user terminal 3 from its database and provide it to the user terminal 3. The cloud server 110 can receive multiple requests from Clients (Web) 101, Clients (App) 102, PDA (App) 103, etc., through the firewall, and transmit multiple responses to multiple requests to Clients (Web) 101, Clients (App) 102, PDA (App) 103, etc. A firewall 104 can be applied to the network between the cloud server 110 and Clients (Web) 101, Clients (App) 102, and PDA (App) 103.

[0034] The cloud server 110 can transmit multiple requests to the streaming server 140, RTLS server 150, RDS DB 170, Dynamo DB 175, etc., and receive multiple responses corresponding to the multiple requests from the streaming server 140, RTLS server 150, RDS DB 170, Dynamo DB 175, etc. The cloud server 110 can transmit information requests to the logistics center's WMS system 105, the shopping mall's order system 106, the delivery company's TMS (Transportation Management System) 107, etc., and receive information transmitted from each system via the API (Application Programming Interface) 111. In response to the information requests from the cloud server 110, the logistics center's WMS system 105, the shopping mall's order system 106, the delivery company's TMS 107, etc., can derive the corresponding information and transmit the response to the cloud server 110. The API 115 can be implemented in a separate communication device outside the cloud server 110 or implemented within the cloud server 110. API 115 can determine the appropriate system from among the WMS system 105 of the logistics center, the order system 106 of the shopping mall, and the TMS 107 of the delivery company based on an information request from the cloud server 110, transmit the request, and transmit the data received from the corresponding system to the cloud server 110 in response to the request.

[0035] Cloud storage 120 can store 3D modeling data 121 related to a 3D model of the logistics center and photographs / videos 122 of the logistics center. The 3D model can include 3D objects that represent multiple racks constituting the logistics warehouse, goods placed on multiple racks, equipment such as transportation equipment located in the logistics warehouse, fire safety equipment, and workers. The 3D modeling data 121 can include 3D video data of such 3D objects. The 3D video data refers to video data for displaying 3D objects in 3D on the display device of the administrator terminal 2 or the worker terminal 3. Photographs / videos 122 of the logistics center can include multiple photographs taken of multiple areas divided into predetermined size units within the logistics center, photographs of various types of goods located in the logistics center, and video footage acquired by CCTV. The cloud server 110 can store the photographs / videos 122 in cloud storage 120 and request necessary photographs and videos from cloud storage 120. In response to the request, cloud storage 120 can read the photographs and videos and provide them to the cloud server 110. The 3D logistics integrated management system 100 can store large-capacity 3D modeling data using cloud storage 120.

[0036] The WebGL engine 130 can 3D model the interior of the logistics center and various objects located within it, generate 3D modeling data to embody the 3D model, and upload it to the cloud storage 120.

[0037] The cloud server 110 can transmit a request for CCTV video to the streaming server 140, and the streaming server 140 can transmit CCTV video in response to the request. The streaming server 140 can transmit a request in accordance with RTSP to the local server, the CCTV server 145, and the CCTV server 145 can transmit CCTV video data in accordance with RTSP to the streaming server 140. The CCTV server 145 can be connected to multiple CCTVs and control multiple CCTVs to collect video acquired by multiple CCTVs. The streaming server 140 can convert the CCTV video data acquired from the CCTV server 145 into FFMPEG format and transmit it to the cloud server 110.

[0038] The RTLS server 160 can track the location of tags attached to personnel such as workers located in the logistics center, as well as tags attached to transportation equipment, using technologies such as UWB (Ultra-wideband), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), GPS (Global-Positioning-System), and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The RTLS server 160 can collect location data of personnel and transportation equipment in the logistics center and transmit it to the Dynamo DB 175. The Dynamo DB 175 can store the received location data in big data units in the cloud storage 120. When the client server 110 receives a request from a client for the real-time location of personnel or transportation equipment, it can request the location information of said personnel or transportation equipment from the Dynamo DB 175. In response to the request, the Dynamo DB 175 can request and obtain the real-time location of said personnel or transportation equipment from the RTLS server 150.

[0039] The RTLS server 150 can periodically collect the movement of objects within a logistics center, such as personnel or transport equipment. This collected location data is stored in cloud storage 120 in big data units and can be used by the RTLS server 150 for machine running to predict object locations. The RTLS server 150 can build location prediction models through machine running using this location data. Such location prediction models can be used to develop solutions that provide object location prediction, movement analysis, or optimal rack placement. Since storing data that occupies Dynamo DB 175 for extended periods is costly, location data can be stored in big data units in the relatively low-cost cloud storage 120. This stored data can then be used to develop various solutions.

[0040] The IoT server 160 can transmit information to IoT devices in response to requests from the Dynamo DB 175. The IoT server 160 can be implemented through an IoT management service provided by AWS (Amazon Web Services). IoT devices may include temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc. The IoT server 160 can send and receive information with IoT devices via the MQTT protocol or Kafka. The IoT server 160 can receive messages from IoT devices and send messages to IoT devices, and can transmit the IoT information received from IoT devices to the Dynamo DB 175. Kafka and MQTT are communication protocols used to send and receive messages. Kafka is applied between an automated device, which is one of the IoT devices in a logistics center, and the IoT server 160, allowing status information about the automated device to be transmitted from the automated device to the IoT server 160, and control information for controlling the automated device to be transmitted from the IoT server 160 to the automated device. The status information of the automated device may include whether the automated device is operating and information about the actions performed by the automated device.

[0041] RDS DB170 and Dynamo DB175 can provide the cloud server 110 with data corresponding to requests in response to requests from the cloud server 110. RDS DB170 can store data related to the operation of the logistics center, such as inventory, inbound and outbound shipments, and orders. Dynamo DB175 can store and manage non-routine data provided by the RTLS server 150 and the IoT server 160. The IoT server 160 can transmit IoT information to Dynamo DB175 at regular intervals. Dynamo DB175 stores the IoT information for a certain period of time and can transmit the IoT information corresponding to requests to the client server 110 in response to requests from the client server 110. Dynamo DB175 can auto-scale based on the amount of IoT data and can be a suitable database for managing messages generated from various IoT devices.

[0042] The configuration of the 3D logistics integrated management system 100 shown in Figure 2 is an example to illustrate the invention, and the invention is not limited thereto. The server 1 shown in Figure 1 may include a cloud server 110, cloud storage 120, and a WebGL engine 130. Additionally, the server 1 may further include at least one of the following: a streaming server 140, an RTLS server 150, an IoT server 160, an RDS DB 170, and a Dynamo DB 175.

[0043] One embodiment of the 3D logistics integrated management system 100 can utilize a 3D model of a logistics warehouse. The 3D model can be used by managers to monitor the logistics warehouse and generate work lists. When generating the 3D model, the 3D modeling must be optimized for lightweight design. Based on inbound and outbound data, the 3D logistics integrated management system can automatically generate and delete 3D boxes in the 3D racks of the 3D model in real time. This allows inventory generation and deletion to be visualized in 3D in real time. Furthermore, the 3D logistics integrated management system can implement the addition and deletion of 3D assets by adding or deleting 3D racks and 3D modeling data to the 3D model. The 3D logistics integrated management system can place 3D assets corresponding to people, various equipment, etc., within the logistics warehouse into the 3D model, map them with database data, and display information queries and real-time locations in the 3D model.

[0044] The cloud server 110 may include a VMS 111. The VMS 111 can be embodied in software that collects data as multiple requests and responses to those requests that arise in logistics management, processes the collected data, and generates output. The VMS 111 may be installed on the administrator terminal 2 instead of the cloud server 110. Either the cloud server 110 or the administrator terminal 2 can run the VMS 111 and provide various functions necessary for logistics management. If the VMS 111 is installed on the cloud server 110, the administrator can connect to the VMS 111 on the web by entering their administrator ID and password on an internet page. A VMS driven on the web can be called a Web VMS. If the VMS is installed on the administrator terminal 2, the administrator can use the VMS on the administrator terminal 2. In Figure 2, client 101 may be the administrator terminal 2. The management operations provided by the VMS 111 may include inventory management, human resource management, equipment management, asset management, center management, message management, and productivity functions. Productivity functions include inbound / outbound location recommendation, current status monitoring, work history, and search functions. VMS111 is driven by a cloud server 110 or an administrator terminal 2, and VMS111 can provide the administrator terminal 2 with an inventory management interface 21, a human resources management interface 22, an equipment management interface 23, an asset management interface 24, a center management interface 25, and a message management interface 26.

[0048] The 3D screen shown in Figure 4 can be provided by the inventory management interface 21.

[0049] In the 3D screen shown in Figure 4, the search term input field 41 can be located. The screen shown in Figure 4 is a search results window that displays the search results for the search term "Model3". As shown in Figure 4, the product search results, i.e., the inventory box corresponding to "Model3", can be displayed on the 3D screen which is a 3D model of the inside of the logistics center, with a different color from other boxes. For example, the area labeled "43" in Figure 4 is distinguished from the color of other areas, and the "Model3" inventory box is located in this area 43. The inventory management interface 21 can list item catalogs corresponding to the search results in the right-hand area 42 of the 3D screen. When one of the item catalogs listed in area 42 is selected, the inventory management interface 21 can move the 3D screen to the box corresponding to the selected item. Subsequently, an item information window pop-up displaying the item information can be activated.

[0050] The inventory management interface 21 can display items on a 3D screen using different colored boxes to indicate the item's current status (receiving, receiving, shipping, shipping, returned, accepted). The inventory management interface 21 can also change the color of the box corresponding to the search result on the 3D screen. When an item in the listed item catalog 42 is clicked, the 3D screen moves to the location of that item and the item information window opens. Because inventory searches can be performed on the 3D screen in this way, intuitive and rapid item location confirmation and item information acquisition become possible.

[0051] Figure 5 is a diagram showing the current status monitoring results via Web VMS.

[0052] The 3D screen shown in Figure 5 can be provided by the inventory management interface.

[0053] As shown in Figure 5, the inventory management interface 21 provides an inventory status window 51, which is a 3D screen, and can provide a selection area in the area 52 of the inventory status window 51 where one of the following can be selected: receiving, issuing, inspection, and return. In Figure 5, "receiving" is selected, and the inventory status window 51 showing the current status of received goods is open. The inventory status window 51 displays the location of the received goods. For example, in Figure 5, the received goods may be displayed as a box labeled "53". The inventory management interface 21 can provide different colored boxes in the inventory status window 51 depending on the current status of the goods, such as receiving, receiving completed, issuing, issuing completed, return, and inspection.

[0054] Because the current situation can be monitored on a 3D screen in this way, administrators can intuitively grasp the real-time work situation. This can improve the efficiency of operations.

[0055] Figure 6 is a diagram showing an item tooltip provided via Web VMS.

[0056] The 3D screen shown in Figure 6 can be provided by the inventory management interface.

[0057] As shown in Figure 6, when the cursor is placed over box 61, the photo, information, and location of the item corresponding to that box can be accessed. Subsequently, when a click is registered on the box where the cursor is placed, the product information window 62 opens and the photo, information, and location of the accessed item can be displayed in the item information window 62. In this way, inquiries about items located in the logistics center can be made in real time, thus reducing the time required for item inquiries.

[0058] Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating the item inquiry service provided through Web VMS.

[0059] The 3D screen shown in Figure 7 can be provided by the inventory management interface 21.

[0061] Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating product registration provided via Web VMS.

[0062] The 3D screen shown in Figure 8 can be provided by the inventory management interface 21.

[0063] Newly received products can be registered through the screen shown in Figure 8. Area 74 shown in Figure 7 contains areas for selecting "Product Registration," "Product Modification," "Product Deletion," and "Product Movement." When the administrator selects "Product Registration," the product registration window 81 shown in Figure 8 can be displayed. Information such as product manufacturer, supplier, classification, product name, product number, management number, loading quantity, purchase price, selling price, receiving location, specification information (size), and special notes can be entered into the product registration window 81.

[0064] Figure 9 is a diagram illustrating equipment monitoring provided via Web VMS.

[0065] The 3D screen 90 shown in Figure 9 can be provided by the equipment management interface 23.

[0066] The Web VMS-based equipment management interface 23 can provide a window (hereinafter referred to as the "equipment status window") 91 on the right side of the 3D screen 90 that shows the equipment currently in operation at the logistics center. The equipment management interface 23 lists the equipment in the equipment status window 91, displays the location of the equipment selected by the administrator on the 3D screen 90 within the 3D-realized logistics center, and allows the 3D screen 90 to be moved to the location of the selected equipment. For example, if the administrator selects "LGV01", that equipment can be represented on the 3D screen 90 as shown in area 92. Area 92 can display the average monthly operating rate of the equipment, the year of manufacture of the equipment (2020 model), the administrator (Moon Sung-ju in charge), the battery status (74%), etc. The equipment status window 91 can display the equipment name (LGV 3ton), manufacturer (Skilled), year of manufacture 2020.03.15, administrator (Moon Sung-ju Manager), battery status (74%), etc. In addition, repair history and other information can be displayed in the equipment status window 91 or area 92. This allows administrators to grasp and monitor the equipment operation status within the logistics center in real time. This enables the development of accident prevention plans and equipment operation plans.

[0067] Figure 10 shows CCTV monitoring provided via Web VMS. 。

[0068] The 3D screen shown in Figure 10 can be provided by the equipment management interface 23.

[0069] The Web VMS-based equipment management interface 23 can provide an area 102 where the user can select one of the equipment locations at the logistics center, such as CCTV, transportation equipment, automated equipment, and fire protection equipment. When CCTV is selected in area 102, the equipment management interface 23 can display the locations of multiple CCTVs installed at the logistics center on a 3D screen and display the 3D images of the areas covered by each of the multiple CCTVs in the CCTV list window 101. The equipment management interface 23 can display the captured images of the CCTVs selected by the administrator from the CCTVs listed in the CCTV list window 101. For example, when the administrator selects a CCTV in the list window 101, the equipment management interface 23 can request CCTV video data captured by the selected CCTV from the cloud server 110. When CCTV video data is received from the cloud server 110 in response to the request, the equipment management interface 23 can display the received CCTV video data. The administrator can specify the CCTV recording period through the equipment management interface 23. The equipment management interface 23 can transmit information about the selected CCTV and recording period to the cloud server 110. The cloud server 110 can request video data from the streaming server 140 along with the received information about the CCTV and recording period. The streaming server 140 can request video from the CCTV server 145 for the selected CCTV during its recording period. In response to the request, the CCTV server 145 transmits the video from the selected CCTV during its recording period to the streaming server 140, which can then convert the video to FFMPEG format and transmit it to the cloud server 110. The cloud server 110 provides the received video data to the VMS 111, which can then display the video on the administrator terminal 2 via the equipment management interface 23.

[0070] Figure 11 is a diagram showing CCTV footage provided through the administrator terminal.

[0071] The administrator can select "CCTV2" in the CCTV list window 101 or directly select "CCTV2" 104 on the 3D screen. As shown in Figure 11 below, the equipment management interface 23 can display the "CCTV2" video data provided by the cloud server 110 on screen 113.

[0072] The equipment management interface 23 can provide administrators with monitoring information for automated equipment, fire safety equipment, etc., via the administrator terminal 2. The equipment management interface 23 can display a window showing an inventory of automated equipment provided within the center for automated equipment monitoring on the administrator terminal 2 in a manner similar to the CCTV list window 101 shown in Figure 10. The equipment management interface 23 can display the real-time operating rate and current status of automated equipment in this window. From the automated equipment displayed in this window, administrators can select automated equipment. Subsequently, the equipment management interface 23 displays the location corresponding to the selected automated equipment on a 3D screen and allows the 3D screen to be moved to that location. By using the equipment management interface 23 to monitor logistics automation equipment, administrators can manage the real-time operational status of each logistics stage and predict the operational status.

[0073] The equipment management interface 23 can display a window showing the IoT fire equipment inventory, which is installed in the center for fire equipment monitoring, on the administrator terminal 2 in a manner similar to the CCTV list window 101 shown in Figure 10. The equipment management interface 23 enables the normal execution of fire equipment activation commands in the event of a fire through real-time inspection of the fire equipment. From the fire equipment displayed in the window showing the fire equipment inventory, the administrator can select a fire equipment. Subsequently, the equipment management interface 23 displays the location corresponding to the selected fire equipment on a 3D screen and allows the 3D screen to be moved to that location. By using the equipment management interface 23 to monitor the fire equipment in real time, the administrator can respond to the initial stages of a fire incident.

[0074] Figure 12 is a diagram showing the message catalog and message sending window that Web VMS displays through the administrator terminal.

[0075] The screen shown in Figure 12 can be provided by the message management interface 26.

[0076] JPEG2026515611000028.jpg65159

[0077] Figure 13 is a diagram showing the task registration window and task allocation window that Web VMS displays through the administrator terminal.

[0078] The screen shown in Figure 13 can be provided by the human resource management interface 22.

[0079] The Web VMS111 can collect and process the information necessary for task registration and task allocation, and provide a human resource management interface 22 that allows administrators to register and allocate tasks through the administrator terminal 2. For example, the human resource management interface 22 can display a task registration window 131 on the administrator terminal 2 where tasks that need to be processed can be registered. Administrators can register tasks that need to be processed on a specific date (for example, the day after the task registration date) based on purchase orders. Administrators can select the task to register from among "receiving," "shipping," "inspection," and "movement" displayed in area 133.

[0080] The human resource management interface 22 can display a task list window 132 showing a registered task list via the administrator terminal 2. The administrator can select a task in the task list window 132 and then select a specific worker from among several workers to perform the selected task. The human resource management interface 22 can provide a sector (e.g., 134) for selecting one of the multiple tasks arranged in the task list window 132. The human resource management interface 22 can provide information for each task in the task list window 132, such as the type of work (receiving, shipping, etc.), person in charge, quantity, management number, and location. When sector 134 is checked in the task list window 132 and "Assign" 135 is selected, the human resource management interface 22 transmits information about the selected task to the Web VMS 111, and the Web VMS 111 can assign the checked task to the person in charge of the selected task (Mun Sung-ju).

[0081] Web VMS111 can send push notifications about selected tasks to the user terminals corresponding to the person in charge of those tasks. In this way, tasks are pre-registered through the human resource management interface 22, and selected tasks are assigned to users, thereby increasing work efficiency.

[0082] Figure 14 is a diagram showing the personnel management window displayed by Web VMS through the administrator terminal.

[0083] The screen shown in Figure 14 can be provided by the human resource management interface 22.

[0084] The Web VMS111 can collect and process information necessary for personnel management and provide a human resources management interface 22 to the administrator terminal 2 so that the administrator can perform personnel management. The human resources management interface 22 can display a personnel management window 140 through the administrator terminal 2. The administrator can register, modify, and delete workers working at the logistics center through the personnel management window 140. The administrator can query worker information in the personnel management window 140 to inquire about the list of tasks performed by the worker during a specified period and can change the system privileges of the worker. The human resources management interface 22 can provide a personnel status list 141 showing the current status of workers working at the logistics center. When the administrator selects a worker in the personnel status list 141, the human resources management interface 22 can provide a personnel information window 142 containing information about the selected worker. The personnel information window 142 can display the selected worker's job rank, career history, assigned duties, working hours, and work breakdown. The human resource management interface 22 can move the 3D screen to the location 143 of the selected worker. The window at location 143 can display the worker's name, workload, and remaining workload in a graph. Administrators can perform planned and efficient work management for each worker through the worker-specific work breakdown inquiry.

[0085] Figure 15 is a diagram showing the asset management window that Web VMS displays through the administrator terminal.

[0086] The screen shown in Figure 15 can be provided by the asset management interface 24.

[0087] The Web VMS111 can collect and process information necessary for asset management and provide an asset management interface 24 so that administrators can perform asset management through the administrator terminal 2. The asset management interface 24 can display an asset management window 150 on the administrator terminal 2. The asset management interface 24 can provide at least one of the following: number of orders by period, vacancy rate, number of incoming goods, number of outgoing goods, number of returns, logistics center sales statistics, logistics center profit and loss, and real-time logistics center statistics (orders, incoming goods, outgoing goods, returns). Administrators can query and monitor the various asset statuses provided by the asset management interface 24 through the administrator terminal 2. The asset management window 150 displays an area 155 where the administrator can select one of the following: "Order Status," "Sales Status," "Revenue Status," and "Center Status."

[0088] When the administrator selects "Order Status," the asset management interface 24 can provide an order status window 151 that displays the order status of each product in a graph by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.). The asset management interface 24 can also display information such as the total number of orders, total orders, total shipments, and total receipts by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.) in the order status window 151.

[0089] When the administrator selects "Sales Status," the asset management interface 24 can provide a sales status window 152 that displays information such as incoming goods, outgoing goods, inventory, returns, and available space in a graph by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.). The asset management interface 24 can also display information such as total number of goods, total incoming goods, total outgoing goods, and available space by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.) in the sales status window 152.

[0090] When the administrator selects "Revenue Status" in the Sales Status Window 152, the Asset Management Interface 24 can provide a Revenue Status Window 153 that displays sales prices and costs in a graph by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.). The Asset Management Interface 24 can also display information such as profit / loss difference by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.) and sales location status in the Revenue Status Window 153. The profit / loss difference by period is the value obtained by subtracting the total costs from the total sales for that period, and the sales location status by period is the total sales for that period.

[0091] When the administrator selects "Center Status," the asset management interface 24 can provide a Center Status window 154 that displays the overall status of the logistics center by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.), as well as the current status of incoming goods, outgoing goods, vacancy rate, etc. The asset management interface 24 can also display information such as delivery waiting status, in transit status, return processing status, delay status, exchange status, and refund progress by period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.) in the Center Status window 153.

[0092] Figure 16 is a diagram showing the logistics center management window displayed by Web VMS through the administrator terminal.

[0093] The screen shown in Figure 16 can be provided by the central management interface 25.

[0094] The Web VMS111 can collect and process information necessary for logistics center management and provide a center management interface 25 that allows administrators to manage logistics centers through the administrator terminal 2. The center management interface 25 can display a logistics center status window 160 through the administrator terminal 2. Based on information about multiple logistics centers registered in the 3D logistics integrated management system 100, the center management interface 25 can configure and display the logistics center status window 160 on the administrator terminal 2. The logistics center status window 161 can display the name, address, size, inventory rate, vacancy rate, product type, etc., for each logistics center. The administrator can select one of several logistics centers through the logistics center status window 160. The center management interface 25 can display 3D screens 161 and 162 of the selected logistics center on the administrator terminal 2. The administrator can register new logistics centers or modify information for registered logistics centers through the logistics center status window 160. Through this logistics center management window, it becomes possible to easily manage various logistics centers in one place without having to visit them directly.

[0095] Furthermore, the administrator can request information about other layers of the selected logistics center from the 3D screens 161 and 162 of that logistics center. For example, the layer number (e.g., "1F") is displayed in area 163 on 3D screen 161, and the administrator can change the layer number in area 163. The center management interface 25 can request information about the changed layer number from the cloud server 110. The Web VMS 111 can receive information about other layers from the cloud server 110 and provide it to the administrator terminal 2 through the center management interface 25. The center management interface 25 can display the 3D screens of other layers on the administrator terminal 2. In this way, the administrator can navigate between layers using the 3D screens provided through the administrator terminal 2.

[0096] The administrator can select one of several logistics centers registered in Web VMS111 via the administrator terminal 2. Web VMS111 can provide the selected logistics center with the multiple interfaces described above. The administrator can select one of several logistics centers via the administrator terminal 2 and proceed with logistics center management operations through the multiple interfaces described above at the selected logistics center. After searching for items, the 3D screen can be moved to the location of the searched items. That is, the administrator can request to move the 3D screen to the location of personnel after searching for personnel at the logistics center selected via the administrator terminal 2, to the location of equipment after searching for equipment, or to the location of CCTV after searching for CCTV. Additionally, the administrator can use a certain interface (e.g., the center management interface) to bookmark frequently visited locations, select the bookmark, and then request to move the 3D screen to the frequently visited locations. Each request is transmitted to Web VMS111 via the corresponding interface, and Web VMS111 can collect information from the cloud server 110 to respond to the requests. Web VMS111 processes the collected information and provides the processing results on a 3D screen on the administrator terminal 2 through an interface corresponding to each request. In this way, administrators can easily manage each of multiple logistics centers at any time through the administrator terminal 2.

[0097] Figure 17 is a diagram showing the 3D screen provided to the user's terminal.

[0098] The user terminal 3 may be a smartphone, PDA, tablet, etc. The user terminal 3 may be equipped with an application (hereinafter referred to as the "user application") that collects and processes information provided by the 3D logistics integrated management system 100 and displays it on the user terminal 3, collects and processes information entered into the user terminal 3 and transmits it to the cloud server 110, and displays the information received from the cloud server 110. The 3D screen provided on the user terminal 3 through the user application can be generated through lightweight 3D modeling.

[0099] The user can perform real-time 3D inventory generation / deletion, 3D asset addition / deletion, data mapping, etc., through the 3D screen 170 of the user terminal 3. The user application can generate and delete boxes in 3D racks in real time on the 3D screen 170 based on inbound / outbound data. This is called 3D inventory generation / deletion. The user application can add or delete 3D racks and 3D modeling data on the 3D screen 170 based on changes in the arrangement of internal structures such as structural changes within the logistics center, addition or movement of racks, etc. This is called 3D asset addition / deletion. 3D assets such as people and various equipment are placed in the 3D environment on the 3D screen 170, and database data corresponding to each placed 3D asset can be mapped through the user application. Once data mapping is complete, the user can query the necessary information through the user terminal 3 and view the real-time location of personnel, goods, equipment, etc. The lightweight 3D modeling described in this disclosure can be performed in a Web3D environment using WebGL. The user can perform functions such as panning, rotating, zooming in and out, camera reset, distance measurement, layered movement, and center movement on the 3D screen 170. Camera reset means that the camera's focus on the logistics center returns to the set origin. The 3D screen is constructed by 3D modeling the logistics center as if it were being photographed by a camera, but a virtual focus is set for the camera to photograph the logistics center, and the area corresponding to the set focus is displayed on the 3D screen 170. Camera reset means that the virtual camera's focus returns to the set origin that covers the entire logistics center. Distance measurement means that the distance between any two objects on the 3D screen 170 is displayed as the actual measured distance.

[0100] The 3D screen 170 shown in Figure 17 can display orders, incoming goods, outgoing goods, etc., that must be processed by the operator in the current business status window.

[0101] Figure 18 is a diagram showing the screens provided to the user's terminal for the user's work process.

[0102] In Figure 18, screen 181 is the practical application screen. Screen 181 can display the progress status of the work. The progress status can include a list of incoming / outgoing transactions completed by the user, a list of incoming / outgoing transactions that are currently in progress, etc.

[0103] On screen 181, area 182 displays the currently ongoing tasks, and the user can touch area 182 to check the currently ongoing tasks. On screen 181, area 183 shows the inventory of the logistics center's current operations. Area 183 can display the current progress of the logistics center's operations (receiving, shipping, inspection, returns) for the day. In area 183, the progress of the operations can be displayed as "Registration Complete" or "Registration in Progress".

[0104] Screen 184 can display the task list and progress assigned to the worker today. Screen 184 is the screen displayed when "Receive" is selected. The receiving location and receiving status of the product (e.g., waiting for receiving) can be displayed on screen 184 along with the number of products and the scheduled time for receiving registration (e.g., "2 minutes until receiving registration"). Messages from the administrator via administrator terminal 2 can be displayed as push notifications on screen 185. Screen 185 can display the title of the pushed message, the message content, and the time the push notification was sent. In this way, workers can quickly grasp and execute their tasks through the screens provided by the application, and can proceed with their tasks after receiving messages from the administrator.

[0105] Figure 19 is a diagram showing the inventory management screen provided to the user's terminal.

[0106] As shown in screen 191, the operator can use the operator terminal 3 to scan the QR / barcode / RFID attached to the item. By pressing the "In Store" button on the screen provided through the operator terminal 3 (for example, "181" in Figure 18), the operator can proceed to the QR / barcode / RFID scanning stage, as shown in screen 191.

[0107] As shown in screen 192, the operator terminal 3 can be provided with an inbound route from the cloud server 110. Route determination software that determines the recommended inbound route may be installed in the VMS 111. The route determination software can determine the location of the rack where the goods will be stored and the available space in the rack, as well as the inbound route from the operator's location to the location of the rack where the goods will be stored, based on the operator's location, the location of the empty rack, and the available space in the empty rack. The route determination software can also determine the location of the rack where the goods will be stored by considering the type of goods, importance, and outbound priority. The route determination software can determine the inbound route from among multiple routes between the operator's location and the determined location of the rack where the goods will be stored, based on at least one of the following: shortest time, shortest distance, and least complexity. As shown in screen 192, the operator terminal 3 can display the inbound route 1922 from the operator's location 1921 to the location of the rack where the goods will be stored (C-4) on a diagrammatic map showing the logistics center. Although screen 192 in Figure 19 is based on a 2D map, a 3D map can be provided to screen 192 to display the entry route on the 3D map.

[0108] JPEG2026515611000029.jpg16155

[0109] A user can perform storage location authentication using user terminal 3. For example, after placing an item in a storage location, the user can use user terminal 3 to scan the QR / barcode / RFID of the rack. The QR / barcode / RFID information of the rack scanned by user terminal 3 is transmitted to VMS 111, and VMS 111 can determine whether a match is possible between the designated storage location and the scanned storage location. While determining whether a match is possible, the storage location authentication screen can be displayed on user terminal 3 as shown in screen 194. If the matching between the designated storage location and the scanned storage location fails, VMS 111 determines that storage location authentication has failed and can push notifications of storage location authentication failure to user terminal 3 and administrator terminal 2. If the matching between the designated storage location and the scanned storage location is successful, VMS 111 can determine that storage location authentication has succeeded. VMS 111 can input special information along with the storage location authentication input into the database. VMS111 can transmit the completion of receiving goods to the operator terminal 3. Upon receiving the completion of receiving goods, the operator terminal 3 can display screen 195.

[0110] In this way, the operator can check the receiving location on a map via the operator terminal 3 and perform receiving operations using the optimal route from their current location. This reduces the time required for receiving. Since items are received in the most optimal location according to their type, importance, and dispatch priority, inventory loading can be automatically optimized. As a result, tasks such as inventory movement and verification become unnecessary.

[0111] Figure 20 is a diagram showing the outbound work progress screen provided to the user's terminal.

[0112] VMS111 can generate scheduled outbound tasks based on outbound orders and assign these tasks to multiple workers. VMS111 can generate outbound lists for the outbound tasks assigned to each of the multiple workers. When generating outbound lists for each worker, VMS111 can determine the optimal outbound route. For example, VMS111 can determine the picking priority for each assigned outbound task based on factors that determine the outbound order, generate outbound lists according to the determined picking priorities, and determine picking routes according to the outbound lists. Factors that determine the outbound order can include the weight of the item, the size of the item, the number of identical items, the distance between items, handling care, first-in, first-out (FIFO), and expiration dates. The heavier the item, the larger the item, the more identical items there are, the shorter the distance between items, the lower the handling care, and the earlier the receiving time, the higher the picking priority. Handling care is higher when there is a greater risk of breakage or damage. At the same time, for items that are frequently received and shipped, that is, items that are ordered frequently and are frequently received and shipped, VMS111 can manage to store them in locations close to all receiving and shipping areas of the logistics center. For example, VMS111 can manage to store frequently received and shipped items in racks close to all receiving and shipping areas using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) system. Subsequently, when a worker ships frequently received and shipped items, they can pick multiple items to be shipped at a specific location. In this way, VMS111 can determine the picking route considering the efficiency of the shipping operation and generate a shipping list based on the determined picking route.

[0113] The VMS111 can transmit corresponding outbound lists to each of the operator terminals of multiple operators. Operators can proceed with outbound operations according to the order in which outbound operations are arranged on the outbound list. Operators can select outbound operations in order on the outbound list.

[0114] The operator terminal 3 can display the outbound list 200. The operator can select one scheduled outbound operation 2001 from the outbound list 200 and proceed with the outbound operation. The selected scheduled outbound operation 2001 is displayed in area 202 on the outbound screen 201, and the outbound status window 203 can display a list of all scheduled outbound operations for the entire logistics center. Area 202 can display the location of the outbound item (outbound location) "C4-4F-2" and item information "DE-EV(IONIQ5)" and "S221122-HS002". The operator can move to the outbound location displayed in area 202 and outbound the item corresponding to the item information displayed in area 202.

[0115] The selected outbound operations are transmitted to VMS111, which can then transmit the picking route determined when generating the outbound list to the worker terminal 3. The worker terminal 3 can receive the picking instructions and picking route from VMS111. The worker can pick the items specified in the picking instructions while moving along the picking route.

[0116] The worker terminal 3 can display the picking route 2041 received from the VMS 111 on a map as shown in screen 204. At the same time, the worker terminal 3 can display that the item to be picked is located at L4_2 in rack C4 as shown in screen 205. In screen 205, the L4_2 area 206 of rack C4 can be displayed in a different way from other areas. After picking the item, the worker can scan the rack's QR / barcode / RFID through the worker terminal 3. The QR / barcode / RFID information of the rack scanned by the worker terminal 3 is transmitted to the VMS 111, and the VMS 111 can determine whether a match is possible between the picking location and the scanned picking location. If a match between the picking location and the scanned picking location fails, the VMS 111 determines that picking location authentication has failed and can push a notification of picking location authentication failure to the worker terminal 3 and the administrator terminal 2. If the VMS111 successfully matches the outbound location with the scanned outbound location, it can determine that the outbound location authentication was successful. The VMS111 can also input special information along with the outbound location authentication input. In this way, the worker can confirm the outbound location on a map and understand its exact location. Picking operations are performed using the optimal route from the worker's current location, thus reducing picking time.

[0117] Through the screen provided via the user terminal 3, not only receiving and shipping operations can be carried out, but also inspection operations, return operations, and other operations can be conducted in a similar manner.

[0118] The user can select an acceptance task from the list of acceptance tasks provided on the user terminal 3. The VMS 111 can provide the user terminal 3 with a route to move to the acceptance location. The user can view the acceptance location on a 2D or 3D screen through the user terminal 3 to confirm the acceptance location where the selected acceptance task will be performed. After acceptance is completed, the user can scan the rack QR / barcode / RFID at the acceptance location through the user terminal 3. The QR / barcode / RFID information of the rack scanned by the user terminal 3 is transmitted to the VMS 111, and the VMS 111 can determine whether a match is possible between the acceptance location and the scanned acceptance location. If a match between the acceptance location and the scanned acceptance location fails, the VMS 111 determines that acceptance location authentication has failed and can send a push notification of acceptance location authentication failure to the user terminal 3 and the administrator terminal 2. If a match between the acceptance location and the scanned acceptance location is successful, the VMS 111 can determine that acceptance location authentication has succeeded. VMS111 allows for the input of specific information along with the acceptance location authentication input. Because the acceptance location is provided to the practitioner on a map in this way, acceptance can be completed quickly.

[0119] The user can select a return operation from the return list provided on user terminal 3. The user scans the QR code / barcode / RFID (hereinafter referred to as the return code) of the item to be returned using user terminal 3. VMS111 determines the location where the return will be stored (hereinafter referred to as the return location) based on the scanned return code and transmits the return location to user terminal 3. The return location can be displayed on a 2D or 3D map via user terminal 3. After the return is completed, the user can scan the rack QR / barcode / RFID at the return location via user terminal 3. The QR / barcode / RFID information of the rack scanned by user terminal 3 is transmitted to VMS111, and VMS111 can determine whether a match can be made between the return location and the scanned return location. If a match between the return location and the scanned return location fails, VMS111 determines that the return location authentication has failed and can push a notification of the return location authentication failure to user terminal 3 and administrator terminal 2. If a match is successfully found between the return location and the scanned return location, VMS111 can determine that the return location authentication was successful. VMS111 can also input special information along with the return location authentication input. In this way, easy return management is possible for return location recommendation and route guidance.

[0120] When an item registration is required, the user can select and proceed with item registration via user terminal 3. Item information can be entered via user terminal 3, and registration can be completed. The completion of registration via user terminal 3 can be notified to administrator terminal 2 via push notification.

[0121] The user can search for item name, location, item number, management number, date, manufacturer, ordering office, etc., through user terminal 3.

[0122] Practitioners can receive guidance on their movement routes through the Practitioner Terminal 3 using methods such as XR (extended reality), AR (augmented reality), and MR (mixed reality). When the camera on the Practitioner Terminal 3 is activated, the receiving, shipping, inspection, and return routes can be displayed on the Practitioner Terminal 3 screen using AR. QR / barcode / RFID scanning is performed through the Practitioner Terminal 3, and if the scanned object is an item, the item information can be displayed on the Practitioner Terminal 3 in a pop-up format. This allows practitioners to easily grasp the location of inventory, perform receiving / shipping / inspection / return operations quickly, and immediately check item information.

[0123] Figure 21 is a diagram showing the current status management screen provided to the administrator terminal.

[0124] The administrator terminal 2 displays the current status of operations, the status of practitioners, the status of goods, etc., and can be used for management purposes.

[0125] Through screens 211 and 212, administrators can manage the current status of operations. The status of orders, receiving, shipping, inspection, returns, packing, and item registration can be displayed on screens 211 and 212. For example, screen 211 can display the number of shipping operations "20" and the location of the rack currently being shipped 2111. Screen 212 can display the number of completed receiving operations "24" and each item 2120, receiving location 2121, quantity 2122, person in charge 2123, etc.

[0126] The progress of the work of the practitioners can be displayed through screen 213. For example, screen 213 shows the current status of the work of the four people in charge of receiving goods. Screen 214 can display the status of goods, such as work records by category and by item. For example, screen 214 can display each item 2140, receiving location 2141, quantity 2142, person in charge 2143, etc.

[0127] Figure 22 is a diagram showing the warehouse management screen provided to the administrator terminal.

[0128] On screen 221, various registered logistics center catalog windows can be opened. Screen 221 displays "Kujang-ri Logistics Center" 2210 and "Mado Logistics Center" 2211. Inventory information 2212 for each logistics center is displayed, and by selecting and inputting on screen 221, you can move to the 3D view of the corresponding logistics center.

[0129] Server 1 can detect abnormal conditions by analyzing video acquired through the worker terminal 3 or various equipment within the logistics center. Cloud Server 1 can detect abnormal situations within the logistics center through video analysis, such as accidents between moving equipment, accidents between moving equipment and workers, damage to facilities located in the logistics center such as racks, and fires. When Server 1 detects an abnormal condition, it can transmit an abnormal condition notification to the worker terminal 3 and the administrator terminal 2.
