Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The logistics industry faces inefficiencies and inaccuracies in cargo loading, leading to misclassification, confusion, and incorrect delivery, resulting in economic damage and a decline in credit rating due to unclear loading positions and responsibilities.
Innovation Solution
A cargo loading system for vehicles that includes a carrier device, a setting unit to determine optimal loading positions based on cargo weight and delivery order, and a control unit to manage the carrier device for precise cargo placement, along with a detection unit to confirm correct loading and generate warnings for misplacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual cargo loading and recording methods are used, then operational simplicity is maintained, but loading position accuracy and cargo tracking precision deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-arranges loading positions based on delivery order and cargo weight before actual loading occurs. The setting unit determines optimal positions in advance, and the carrier device prepares the loading space configuration beforehand, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making during loading operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a carrier device as an intermediary between the cargo and the loading space. This carrier device automatically positions cargo according to pre-determined arrangements, serving as a mediator that translates loading instructions into precise physical placement without requiring complex manual coordination.
2Productivity
If cargo is loaded without systematic arrangement, then loading speed is maintained, but delivery efficiency and cargo retrieval accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The loading space is segmented into multiple layers and zones based on delivery order and cargo characteristics. The setting unit divides cargo into different loading groups, and the carrier device places them in specific segmented areas, enabling systematic organization that facilitates quick retrieval during delivery without slowing down the initial loading process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes vertical dimension by dividing the loading space into multiple layers. Heavier cargo is placed on lower layers while lighter cargo occupies upper layers, creating a three-dimensional loading arrangement that maximizes space utilization and enables efficient cargo retrieval based on delivery priority.
3Reliability
If cargo weight and delivery order are not considered in loading arrangement, then loading process simplicity is maintained, but cargo safety and delivery accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different loading strategies to different locations within the loading space based on local requirements. Heavy cargo is specifically assigned to lower layers for stability, while light cargo is placed on upper layers. The setting unit determines specific loading positions considering local conditions such as weight distribution and delivery order, ensuring cargo safety without requiring complex overall reorganization.

AI summary
A cargo loading system for a cargo vehicle includes a carrier device provided in a loading space of the cargo vehicle to move cargoes in the loading space, a setting unit configured to set a loading position for each cargo in which each cargo is located in the loading space of the cargo vehicle based on basic information of each of the cargoes, and a control unit configured to control operation of the carrier device according to a loading position of a corresponding cargo set in the setting unit when the corresponding cargo is loaded on the carrier device so that the corresponding cargo reaches the loading position matching the corresponding cargo.
