Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Automated logistics management in smart warehousing faces challenges in handling irregularly arranged cargo and pallets, making it difficult for automated handling devices to efficiently manage goods through simple coordinate settings.
Innovation Solution
A handling machine control method and system that includes a control host and handling machines, which detect handling instructions, read object information, and control the machines to lift and move objects based on this information, updating the information after each operation to improve efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If simple coordinate setting is used for automated handling, then the device complexity is reduced, but the handling efficiency deteriorates due to inability to handle irregularly arranged cargo
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual coordinate setting and mechanical positioning with an image recognition system that automatically identifies cargo positions and generates handling coordinates. The image processing unit captures images of irregularly arranged cargo, identifies their positions and orientations, and converts this visual information into coordinate data for the automated handling device, eliminating the need for manual coordinate input while maintaining high handling efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables the automated handling device to self-adjust and self-position by using image recognition data to automatically generate handling coordinates. The device reads the coordinates derived from image recognition and autonomously navigates to the correct positions without human intervention,实现ing self-service operation for irregularly arranged cargo
2Measurement precision
If manual intervention is used to handle irregularly arranged cargo, then the handling accuracy is improved, but the productivity decreases due to increased operation time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual visual inspection and positioning with an automated image recognition system that rapidly captures and processes images of cargo. The image processing unit automatically identifies cargo positions, orientations, and dimensions with high precision, converting visual information into accurate coordinate data that guides the automated handling device, achieving both high accuracy and high speed without manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where the image recognition unit continuously monitors cargo positions, the control unit processes this information to generate handling coordinates, and the handling unit executes operations while updating its position based on real-time image feedback. This closed-loop feedback system maintains high positioning accuracy while operating at automated speeds

AI summary
A handling machine control method, a handling machine control system and a control host are provided. The method includes: detecting a handling instruction which instructs a handling of a first object; reading handling information of the first object according to the handling instruction; if the handling information of the first object is read, control, according to the handling information, a first handling machine to move to a first position and perform a first operation to lift up the first object at the first position; after the first object is lifted up, control the first handling machine to move to a second position and perform a second operation to put down the first object at the second position; and in response to that the first object is put down at the second position, updating the handling information of the first object.
