Description
Method and system for handling exported goods
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a method and system for processing exported goods, and more particularly, to a method and system for processing exported goods that support improving the accuracy and efficiency of export operations.
[0002] As internet use becomes more widespread, the e-commerce market is expanding. Products purchased through e-commerce can be delivered to a customer-specified shipping address through a logistics processing process. Specifically, products sold through e-commerce are received by suppliers at logistics centers, shipped based on customer order information, and then delivered to the customer's designated shipping address.
[0003] Meanwhile, if a product's season is over, inventory management is required, or the contract between the logistics center and the product supplier has ended, products stored in the logistics center can be returned to the supplier through a product release processing process. This process begins with the collection of products requested for release from among those stored (or displayed) within the logistics center, placed in totes (or carts). Before packaging, the collected products are inspected and verified against the manual to ensure they meet the requirements for release.
[0004] These existing methods frequently resulted in issues such as insufficient quantities of goods actually shipped or missing components during the visual inspection and inspection process. In particular, as product names become more complex and components become more diverse, errors in the handling of exported goods are increasing significantly. Furthermore, printing waybills for shipment of exported goods was also performed manually, wasting time and labor and increasing the risk of human error.
[0005] Accordingly, there is a need for methods and systems that can minimize problems that may arise during the process of handling exported goods and improve the accuracy and efficiency of work.
[0006] The technical problem to be solved through one embodiment of the present disclosure is to provide a method and system for processing exported goods that can minimize problems that may occur in the process of processing exported goods.
[0007] A technical problem to be solved through other embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a method and system for processing exported goods that can efficiently manage problems that may arise during the processing of exported goods.

[0015] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether to generate the waybill may include a step of extracting necessary information for generating the waybill using the waybill information when the information on the exported product and the information on the product to be worked correspond to each other as a result of the comparison, a step of determining the validity of the necessary information, and a step of determining to generate the waybill when the necessary information is determined to be valid, and a step of determining to suspend generation of the waybill when the necessary information is determined to be invalid.
[0016] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether to generate the waybill may include a step of determining whether the necessary information can be corrected if the necessary information is determined to be invalid, a step of determining to generate the waybill if the necessary information is determined to be correctable, and a step of determining to suspend generation of the waybill if the necessary information is determined to be impossible to correct.
[0017] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether to generate the waybill may include the step of checking whether the export product information includes a restriction condition, and the step of determining to generate the waybill if the restriction condition is not included, and the step of determining to put the generation of the waybill on hold if the restriction condition is included.
[0018] In one embodiment, the method may further include transmitting, in response to a decision to suspend the generation of the waybill, export error information associated with the decision.

[0033] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The advantages and features of the present disclosure, and methods for achieving them, will become clear with reference to the embodiments described in detail below together with the attached drawings. However, the technical idea of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments and may be implemented in various different forms. The following embodiments are provided only to complete the technical idea of the present disclosure and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the present disclosure of the scope of the present disclosure, and the technical idea of the present disclosure is defined only by the scope of the claims.
[0034] In describing various embodiments of the present disclosure, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the present disclosure, the detailed description will be omitted.
[0035] Unless otherwise defined, the terms (including technical and scientific terms) used in the following examples may be used with meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains; however, this may vary depending on the intentions of engineers working in the relevant field, precedents, the emergence of new technologies, etc. The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing the embodiments and is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.
[0036] In the following examples, singular expressions include plural concepts unless the context clearly specifies that they are singular. Furthermore, plural expressions include singular concepts unless the context clearly specifies that they are plural.
[0037] In addition, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. used in the following embodiments are only used to distinguish certain components from other components, and the nature, order, or sequence of the components are not limited by the terms.
[0038] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0039] FIG. 1 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating the configuration of an entire system in which an export product processing system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure operates. As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the entire system may include an export product processing system (20), and in some embodiments, may further include at least some of a worker terminal (10), a warehouse management system (30), and a transport processing system (40).
[0040] A warehouse management system (WMS) (30) is a system that manages information about items required for tasks performed within a fulfillment center (FC), and may be a single server or a collection of multiple servers. In one embodiment, the warehouse management system (30) may collect, accumulate, and / or generate information about exported products required for export tasks. The exported product information may include information about at least one of the product name of the exported product, the product barcode, the exported quantity, the export deadline (i.e., the date and time of export instruction creation and export deadline), export location information (e.g., company name, address, contact information, zip code, etc.), freight information for the exported product (e.g., freight type, payment terms, etc.), and delivery information. Here, the delivery information refers to request information that may be referenced in the process of processing the exported product, and may include a restriction condition that restricts the generation of a waybill. For example, if the delivery information includes phrases (keywords) such as "Please call," "For further information," "For further details," or "Truck required," the generation of a waybill corresponding to the export product information may be suspended. In this case, the delivery information may be information entered by the company requesting the export at the time of the export request.
[0041] Meanwhile, in FIG. 1, the warehouse management system (30) is depicted as a system external to the export goods processing system (20), but at least some of the functions and configurations of the warehouse management system (30) may be implemented within the export goods processing system (20). For example, at least some of the above-described information managed by the warehouse management system (30) may be managed in a self-database (not shown) within the export goods processing system (20).
[0042] The transportation processing system (40) is a system that manages information required for the transportation of exported goods. According to one embodiment, the transportation processing system (40) can receive information required for generating a waybill from the exported goods processing system (20) and can use the required information to generate a waybill for the transportation of exported goods. The generated waybill can be transmitted to the exported goods processing system (30), and the exported goods processing system (30) can control the output of the waybill by transmitting a waybill output command to a linked external output device. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and according to an embodiment, the internal system of the exported goods processing system (30) can also use the required information to generate a waybill for the transportation of exported goods.
[0043] The export product processing system (20) can interact with the warehouse management system (30) and the transport processing system (30) to process export products and perform a method for processing export products according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0044] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the export product processing system (20) can perform a verification (inspection) task for export products. Here, the verification task for export products refers to a task of confirming whether the collected items correspond to the export product information before performing a packaging task for the items collected in a tote (or cart) according to an export instruction (export request). The export product processing system (20) can compare the work target product information corresponding to at least one item collected in the tote with the export product information to confirm whether the product identification code and product quantity match.
[0045] To explain in more detail, the product removal processing system (20) can obtain identification information about the tote to be worked on by scanning (recognizing) an identifier (e.g., barcode, QR code, etc.) attached to the tote to be worked on using a sensor unit (not shown), and can obtain product removal information using the identification information. At this time, the product removal information may be information received from the warehouse management system (30). In addition, the product removal processing system (20) can obtain identification information about each of the at least one item by scanning an identifier (e.g., barcode, QR code, etc.) attached to each of the at least one item actually picked up in the tote to be worked on using a sensor unit (not shown), and can obtain product removal information using the identification information. At this time, the product removal information may include information about the product identification code and the quantity of the product corresponding to the product identification code.
[0046] In one embodiment, the export product processing system (20) can perform verification work on export products by packaging unit or transport unit. If the items collected in the first tote and the items collected in the second tote are combined packaging targets, i.e., they constitute a single packaging unit, the export product processing system (20) can determine whether the work target product information corresponding to the items collected in the first tote and the items collected in the second tote match (correspond) with the export product information corresponding to the first and second totes.
[0047] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the export product processing system (20) can generate a waybill for export products for which product verification has been completed. Specifically, the export product processing system (20) can extract the necessary information for generating a waybill using export product information and can generate the waybill using the necessary information. As described above, the waybill can be generated through the transportation processing system (40) or, depending on the embodiment, through a subsystem of the export product processing system (20).
[0048] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the export product processing system (20) can perform a function of managing problems arising from verification work. For example, it can generate export error information regarding errors arising from verification work (e.g., quantity shortages, product mismatches, picking errors, etc.) and transmit the export error information to an administrator terminal (not shown).
[0049] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the export product processing system (20) can provide information necessary for processing export products to the worker terminal (10). For example, the worker can check the guide information for processing export products provided by the export product processing system (20) through the worker terminal (10) and perform the export work accordingly. Meanwhile, the worker terminal (10) is a terminal used by the worker who performs processes such as verification and packaging of export products, and can be implemented as various types of computing devices such as a PDA, smartphone, laptop, desktop, etc., and may be implemented as any device.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the export product processing system (20) may be implemented with at least one computing device. For example, all functions of the export product processing system (20) may be implemented in a single computing device, or a first function of the export product processing system (20) may be implemented in a first computing device and a second function may be implemented in a second computing device. Alternatively, specific functions of the export product processing system (20) may be implemented in multiple computing devices. Here, the computing devices may include any device having computing capabilities, and an example of such a device is illustrated in FIG. 11. Since the computing device is a collection of interacting components (e.g., memory, processor, etc.), it may also be referred to as a "computing system" in some cases. Of course, the term "computing system" may also encompass the concept of a collection of interacting computing devices.
[0051] Meanwhile, the components illustrated in Fig. 1 can communicate via a network. Here, the network can be implemented as any type of wired / wireless network, such as a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a mobile radio communication network, or Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet).
[0052] The configuration and operation of the export product processing system (20) according to several embodiments of the present disclosure have been described with reference to FIG. 1. The embodiments described above will be understood in more detail with reference to other embodiments described below. Furthermore, the technical concepts understood through the above-described embodiments may be applied to other embodiments described below, even if not specifically stated otherwise.
[0053] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 through 10, a method for processing exported goods according to several embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. Unless otherwise noted, the steps described in the flowcharts below may be understood to be performed by the exported goods processing system (20) described with reference to FIG. 1. However, for convenience of explanation, the operating entities of each step may be omitted.
[0054] Figure 2 is a flowchart exemplifying a method for processing exported goods according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. However, this is merely a preferred embodiment for achieving the objectives of the present disclosure, and it is understood that some steps may be added or deleted as needed.
[0055] As illustrated in FIG. 2, a method for processing exported goods according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may begin with a step (S100) of acquiring exported goods information corresponding to a work target tote. Specifically, identification information for the work target tote may be acquired by recognizing an identifier attached to the work target tote, and exported goods information corresponding to the work target tote may be acquired using the identification information for the work target tote. At this time, information regarding at least a portion of the exported goods information (e.g., product name, product quantity, product barcode) may be displayed on a portion of the screen of the worker terminal.
[0056] In step S200, product information corresponding to at least one item collected within a work target tote can be acquired. Specifically, by recognizing an identifier attached to each of at least one item actually collected within the work target tote, identification information for each of at least one item can be acquired, and product information for the work target can be generated using the identification information. In this case, the product information for the work target can include a product identification code and information regarding the corresponding product quantity, and the product information for the work target can be displayed on a portion of the screen of the worker terminal.
[0057] Next, in step S300, the export product information and the product information for the work can be compared. Specifically, it can be determined whether the product identification code and product quantity corresponding to the export product information match the product identification code and product quantity corresponding to the product information for the work.
[0058] In step S400, based on the comparison results performed in step S300, it may be determined whether to generate a waybill corresponding to the export product information. Specifically, if the export product information and the work target information correspond, it may be determined that a waybill corresponding to the export product information is generated. If the export product information and the work target information do not correspond, it may be determined that the generation of a waybill corresponding to the export product information is suspended.
[0059] Referring to Fig. 3, the step (S400) of determining whether to create a waybill is described in more detail.
[0060] Referring to Figure 3, if the export product information and the target product information are determined to correspond (YES), the necessary information for creating a waybill can be extracted using the export product information (S411). Here, the necessary information for creating a waybill may include, for example, product information (product name, product quantity, product type, etc.), export location information (company name, address, contact information, etc.), and freight information (freight type, payment terms, etc.).
[0061] Next, the validity of the required information may be determined (S412). If the required information is determined to be valid (YES), a waybill may be generated (S430). In one embodiment, it may be determined whether the required information conforms to preset rules. This is to identify in advance any errors that may occur during the waybill generation process if incomplete information that does not conform to the preset rules is used, and to take necessary measures, such as corrections.
[0062] On the other hand, if the required information is determined to be invalid (NO) (for example, if the address information is in the form of a combination of an address and a zip code, or if the address information does not include a detailed address, etc.), it can be determined whether correction is possible (S413), and if correction is possible (YES), it can be determined that a waybill is to be generated. This is to quickly resolve problems through correction in the case of errors that can be corrected according to simple correction rules. For example, if the address information is in the form of a combination of an address and a zip code, valid address information can be obtained through a simple correction of deleting the zip code, and a waybill can be generated using the valid address information.
[0063] Conversely, if correction is not possible (NO), the creation of the waybill may be decided to be suspended (S450). In this case, export error information indicating an error in the required information determined to be invalid may be generated.
[0064] Meanwhile, as previously explained, when requesting export, request information (delivery information) that can be referenced during the process of processing the exported goods from the company requesting the export may be entered. If the delivery information includes a restriction condition that restricts the creation of a waybill, the creation of the waybill may be suspended. The related operations are described with reference to FIG. 4.
[0065] Figure 4 shows a modified example of the detailed operation of the step (S400) of determining whether to create a waybill.
[0066] Referring to Figure 4, if it is determined that the export product information and the product information to be processed correspond (YES), it can be determined whether the export product information includes a restriction condition that restricts the creation of a waybill (S420). Specifically, it can be determined whether the export product information includes phrases (keywords) such as "Please call," "Detailed inquiry," "Detailed consultation," or "Truck required." If the phrases are included (YES), the creation of the waybill corresponding to the export product information can be suspended (S450).
[0067] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the generation of a waybill is to be suspended (e.g., if the export product information and the work target product information do not correspond, if the required information is invalid, if the export product information includes a restriction condition, etc.), a step may be further performed in which export error information related thereto is transmitted to the administrator terminal. Here, the export error information may include problem type information indicating the cause of the error, and the problem type information may include information regarding insufficient quantity, incorrect picking, product mismatch, address error, inclusion of a restriction condition, etc.
[0068] Meanwhile, a series of export processing information (e.g., information on the status of exported goods, information on events occurring during export processing, export error information, export processing results, etc.) generated according to the exported goods processing method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can be comprehensively stored and managed in a database within the exported goods processing system (20) or a database within a cloud server.
[0069] Hereinafter, the configuration of a screen provided to a worker terminal according to a method for processing exported goods according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10.
[0070] FIG. 5 illustrates an initial screen (500) provided to a worker's terminal when performing a task to verify exported goods and print a waybill.
[0071] Referring to FIG. 5, the "Logistics Center" (501) area represents information about the logistics center currently in operation, and the "Worker" (502) area represents information about the worker in charge of the operation. At this time, the logistics center information may be matched and stored with account information of the transportation processing system of the transportation company associated with the logistics center. Accordingly, when a user input for the "Activate Button" (503) is received, account login to the transportation processing system can be performed without a separate account login process. In addition, guidance information ("Please click the Activate Button") (504) guiding the work to be performed by the worker may be displayed in one area of the screen (500).
[0072] Figure 6 illustrates an example of a screen (600) displaying export product information.
[0073] As illustrated in FIG. 6, when guide information requesting recognition of a tote to be worked on (“Please scan the tote barcode”) (601) is provided (displayed), the worker can scan the barcode attached to the tote to be worked on through the sensor unit, and when the barcode of the tote to be worked on is scanned, the corresponding export product information can be displayed in one area of the screen (600) (603). Specifically, by scanning the tote barcode, the identification information (GC-1234) (602) of the tote can be obtained, and using the identification information, the export product information corresponding to the identification information can be searched and obtained from a database within the warehouse management system and / or the export product processing system. At this time, the export product information (701) can include information such as a product name, a product barcode, an export quantity, a company name, and an export deadline (start, end) (see FIG. 7).
[0074] Meanwhile, if the work target tote includes two or more totes that constitute one packaging unit, the "Add Tote" (604) button can be selected by the worker, and when the barcodes attached to each of the two or more totes are scanned, the export product information corresponding to each tote barcode can be provided in one area of the screen.
[0075] Fig. 8 shows an example of a screen (800) on which information on a product to be worked on is displayed.
[0076] When guide information (“Please scan the product barcode”) (801) requesting recognition of items picked up in a work target tote is provided (displayed), the worker can perform the task of scanning the barcode attached to each item picked up in the work target tote using the sensor unit, and when the barcode of the item is scanned, the corresponding work target product information (i.e., product barcode and quantity) can be displayed in one area of the screen (800) (802).
[0077] As illustrated in FIG. 8, if the information on the exported product corresponds to the information on the product to be processed, the necessary information for creating a waybill can be extracted from the detailed information on the exported product (see FIG. 9). Here, the necessary information for creating a waybill can include, for example, information on the exported product (product name, product quantity, product type, etc.) (901), information on the export location (company name, address, contact information, etc.) (902), and information on freight (freight type, payment terms, etc.). Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 9, if the detailed information on the exported product includes a restriction condition (communication message, "Please call me") (903), the creation of a waybill corresponding to the exported product information can be put on hold.
[0078] Figure 10 shows an example of a screen (1000) displayed when the quantity of products according to export product information and the quantity of products subject to actual export work are different.
[0079] As illustrated in Figure 10, information about a product export error ("Please re-verify the product") may be displayed in a certain area of the screen, and the information about the product export error may be transmitted to the administrator terminal. Alternatively, when the "Report Problem" button (1002) is selected by the operator, the information about the product export error may be transmitted to the relevant administrator terminal.
[0080] In this way, this embodiment can minimize problems arising during the export process by automating the process of verifying products and generating shipping invoices. Furthermore, by automating the handling of errors / issues that arise during the export process, work efficiency can be improved.
[0081] FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of a computing device for performing a method for processing exported goods according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0082] Referring to FIG. 11, a computing device (1100) may include one or more processors (1110), a bus (1130), a communication interface (1140), a memory (1120) for loading a computer program executed by the processor (1110), and a storage (1150) for storing a computer program (1160). However, only components related to the embodiment of the present disclosure are illustrated in FIG. 11. Therefore, a person skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains will appreciate that other general components may be included in addition to the components illustrated in FIG. 10. That is, the computing device (1100) may further include various components in addition to the components illustrated in FIG. 11. In addition, in some cases, the computing device (1100) may be configured in a form in which some of the components illustrated in FIG. 9 are omitted. Hereinafter, each component of the computing device (1100) will be described.
[0083] The processor (1110) can control the overall operation of each component of the computing device (1100). The processor (1110) can be configured to include at least one of a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Micro Processor Unit (MPU), a Micro Controller Unit (MCU), a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), or any other type of processor well known in the art of the present disclosure. In addition, the processor (1110) can perform operations for at least one application or program for executing operations / methods according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The computing device (1100) can include one or more processors.
[0084] Next, the memory (1120) can store various data, commands, and / or information.
