The following describes an article inventory method provided by an embodiment of the present invention from the perspective of information acquisition equipment in an inventory system.

The article checking method provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to information acquisition equipment in a checking system, and the checking system further comprises the following steps: track and server, this information acquisition equipment includes: the device comprises a driving module and a radio frequency identification RFID reading module. Referring to fig. 2, the method may include the steps of:

s201: receiving a driving instruction sent by a server, wherein the driving instruction carries: the motion parameters of the driving module and the reading parameters of the RFID reading module;

s202: the driving module drives the information acquisition equipment to move on the track based on the motion parameters; the RFID reading module reads the RFID labels of the articles in the article storage area based on the reading parameters;

s203: sending the read RFID tags of the articles in the article storage area to a server, so that the server obtains an article counting result according to the comparison result of the read RFID tags of the articles in the article storage area and the target RFID tag; wherein, the target RFID label is: a pre-stored warehousing RFID tag of an item associated with the item storage area.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the information acquisition device in the inventory system receives the driving instruction sent by the server in the inventory system, the driving module may drive the information acquisition device to move on the track based on the motion parameter carried in the driving instruction. In addition, the RFID reading module may read the RFID tags of the items in the item storage area based on the read parameters carried in the driving instructions. And, the read RFID tag in the article storage area may be transmitted to the server. Therefore, the server can compare the received RFID label with the RFID label when the article storage area is put in storage, so as to obtain the inventory result of the article storage area.

In the mode, the RFID tag can be read through the information acquisition equipment, the RFID reading device does not need to be held by hands in an artificial mode for moving and scanning, and the manpower is saved. Moreover, the server can compare the read RFID tags in the article storage area with the warehousing RFID tags of the articles related to the article storage area to obtain the article counting result of the article storage area, so that the articles in the article storage area can be counted in a short time, and the counting efficiency is improved.

The article inventory method provided by the embodiment of the invention is described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the items in the warehouse need to be checked, the server can send a driving instruction to the information acquisition equipment. After the information acquisition device receives the driving instruction, the driving module in the information acquisition device can drive the information acquisition device to move on the track as shown in fig. 3 based on the motion parameters carried in the driving instruction. And, the RFID reading module in the information collecting apparatus may read the RFID tags of the items in the respective shelves as shown in fig. 3 based on the reading parameters carried in the driving instruction. Wherein, one shelf is an article storage area.

When the information acquisition equipment is required to move on the track without stopping, the movement parameters can be set to comprise movement speed values. Therefore, after the information acquisition equipment receives the driving instruction carrying the motion speed value, the driving module can drive the information acquisition equipment to perform uniform motion according to the motion speed value. Therefore, in the current inventory, the information acquisition equipment can keep continuous and uniform motion on the track.

In this case, the server may further calculate an RFID reading interval time according to the distance between each two adjacent shelves and the movement speed value, and may use the RFID reading interval time as the reading parameter. For example, if the distance between every two adjacent shelves is 5 meters as shown in fig. 3, and the motion parameter includes a motion speed value of 5 meters/second, then the RFID reading interval time may be calculated to be 1 second, so that the RFID tag reading may be performed when the information acquisition device operates to a location corresponding to one shelf (for example, the location of the information acquisition device shown in fig. 3). In this case, the initial movement position of the information collecting apparatus may be set at a distance of 5 meters from the first shelf to be inventoried. In this way, the time for the information acquisition device to move to the first shelf is 1 second, and the RFID reading module can read the RFID label of the article on the first shelf at the moment. And after another 1 second the RFID reading module can read the RFID tag of the item on the second shelf.

In this way, after the RFID tag of the first shelf item is read, the RFID reading module may send the read RFID tag of the first shelf item to the server. The server may determine that the RFID tag sent by the RFID reading module is received for the first time, and may establish a mapping relationship between the received RFID tag and a shelf identifier of the first shelf (i.e., an item storage area identifier of the first item storage area). And the warehousing RFID label corresponding to the article storage area identifier of the first article storage area can be searched as the target RFID label by presetting the corresponding relation between the article storage area identifier and the warehousing RFID label. Then, the RFID tag received this time may be compared with the target RFID tag, so that an item count result of the first shelf may be obtained.

Of course, the information collecting device may also be moved to a preset position of the track, and after the preset position is paused for a certain period of time (for example, 1 second), the movement is continued until the next preset position is reached. In this case, preset points (for example, a preset point is located at the position of the information acquisition device shown in fig. 3) may be set on the track, so that one preset point is bound to at least one shelf, and when the information acquisition device moves to the preset point, the RFID tags of all the articles on the shelf bound to the preset point can be acquired. In this way, the server can set the motion parameters according to the set preset points. For example, if the distance between every two adjacent preset points on the track is 5 meters, a pause of 1 second after every 5 meters of movement can be used as the movement parameter. Therefore, after the information acquisition equipment receives the driving instruction, the driving module can drive the information acquisition equipment to move, and can monitor that the information acquisition equipment moves to the preset point position on the track after moving for 5 m, and at the moment, the information acquisition equipment can stay at the preset point position on the track for 1 second and then continue to move.

In this case, the server may also set the movement speed of the information collecting apparatus to 0 as the reading parameter. Therefore, after the information acquisition equipment moves to the first preset point position on the track and stops, the information acquisition equipment can detect that the self movement speed is 0. At this time, the RFID reading module can be triggered to read the RFID labels of the articles on the goods shelf bound with the preset point. Similarly, the RFID tags of the articles on the shelf bound by the preset points such as the second preset point, the third preset point, etc. can be obtained, which is not described herein again.

Therefore, after the RFID reading module reads the RFID label of the article on the goods shelf bound with the first preset point, the read RFID label can be sent to the server. The server may determine that the RFID tag sent by the RFID reading module is received for the first time, and may establish a mapping relationship between the received RFID tag and the point location identifier of the first preset point location.

In addition, the server may find the item storage area identifier corresponding to the point location identifier of the first preset point location (i.e., the shelf identifier of the shelf) through the mapping relationship between the point location identifier of the preset point location and the preset item storage area identifier, and use the found item storage area identifier as the target item storage area identifier. After the target article storage area identification is found, the warehousing RFID label corresponding to the target article storage area identification can be found as the target RFID label by presetting the corresponding relation between the article storage area identification and the warehousing RFID label. Then, the received RFID tag and the target RFID tag may be compared, so as to obtain an article checking result corresponding to the first preset point location, that is, an article checking result of the shelf bound to the first preset point location.

It can be understood that, after the RFID reading module reads the RFID tag of the article on the shelf bound to the first preset point location, the point location identifier of the first preset point location may be determined according to the mapping relationship between the number of stay times and the point location identifier of the preset point location, for example, the point location identifier corresponding to the first stay is a, and the point location identifier corresponding to the second stay is B, that is, the point location identifier of one preset point location may be determined according to the preset identifier determination rule. Therefore, the information acquisition equipment can send the RFID label read at the first preset point and the determined point location identification to the server. Then, the server may search for a preset article storage area identifier (i.e., a shelf identifier of the shelf) corresponding to the point location identifier of the first preset point location through a corresponding relationship between the preset point location identifier and the preset article storage area identifier, and use the searched preset article storage area identifier as the target article storage area identifier.

After the target article storage area identification is found, the warehousing RFID label corresponding to the target article storage area identification can be found as the target RFID label by presetting the corresponding relation between the article storage area identification and the warehousing RFID label. Then, the received RFID tag and the target RFID tag may be compared, so that an article counting result corresponding to the first preset point location may be obtained, that is, an article counting result of the shelf bound to the first preset point location is obtained, which is also reasonable.

In addition, after the RFID reading module sends the read RFID tag corresponding to the preset point location to the server, the server may delete the first RFID tag in the currently received RFID tag before comparing the currently received RFID tag with the target RFID tag, so as to obtain the duplicate removal RFID tag corresponding to the point location identifier of the preset point location. And then, comparing the duplicate-removing RFID label with the target RFID label to obtain a comparison result corresponding to the preset point. Further, according to the comparison result, an article checking result of the article in the article storage area corresponding to the preset point location can be obtained.

And the article checking result and the article storage area identifier of the article storage area corresponding to the preset point position can be correspondingly stored, so that the article checking result corresponding to the article storage area can be quickly found out through the article storage area identifier subsequently.

Wherein, the first RFID label is: when the driving module drives the information acquisition equipment to move to the target preset point, the RFID reading module reads the obtained RFID label. The target preset points are as follows: and another preset point which is closest to the preset point and passes by the information acquisition equipment before the information acquisition equipment moves to the preset point (namely, the last preset point).

In this way, the server may perform deduplication calculation on the RFID tag read by the information acquisition device at each preset point location through deduplication calculation, that is, remove the RFID tag read into the RFID tag at the preset point location and read at the last preset point location corresponding to the preset point location. Therefore, the server does not need to compare the RFID tags which appear repeatedly, repeated inventory can be avoided, and the inventory speed can be improved.

In addition, the information acquisition device in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: and an image acquisition module. In this case, after the comparison result is obtained, the server may send an image acquisition instruction to the information acquisition apparatus. After receiving the image acquisition instruction, the information acquisition equipment drives the image acquisition module to acquire the video/image and sends the acquired video/image to the server. And the server correspondingly stores the acquired video/image and the article counting result. Therefore, the user can check the articles in each article storage area in the current inventory on the electronic equipment without checking the articles in a warehouse, and the labor is saved.

In addition, a timestamp can be set for each video/image collected in each checking process, so that a user can quickly know the corresponding checking time of the video/image when viewing the video/image. In addition, when the object moves, the object can be tracked through the video/image acquired in each inventory process.

In addition, because the warehouse staff often need to know the temperature and humidity in the warehouse to regulate and control the temperature and humidity of the warehouse, the information acquisition device in the embodiment of the present invention may further include: temperature and humidity sensing module. Therefore, the server can also drive the temperature and humidity sensing module to monitor the temperature and humidity, and temperature and humidity data are obtained. The temperature and humidity sensor can send temperature and humidity data obtained through monitoring to the server. And then, the server correspondingly stores the temperature and humidity data obtained by monitoring and the article checking result obtained by checking this time.

The temperature and humidity sensing module can be connected to the information acquisition device through a 485 serial port, and is certainly not limited to the temperature and humidity sensing module.

It can be understood that, after obtaining a comparison result (for example, the RFID tag K is missing) of the article storage area (for example, the first shelf), the server may form a statistical report by using the pre-stored article information (for example, the article name, the warehousing time, and the like) corresponding to the RFID tag K, the shelf identifier of the first shelf, the video/picture of the first shelf collected in the current inventory, and the temperature and humidity data collected in the current inventory, and send the statistical report to the user terminal.

Of course, the server may store the corresponding inventory information of all the RFID tags in storage: for example, the information such as the non-missing, the distance of 1 day from the warehousing time, the shelf number corresponding to the RFID tag, the inventory success rate of the article corresponding to the RFID tag, and the inventory frequency of the article corresponding to the RFID tag is reasonable. Wherein, the shelf number belongs to one of shelf marks.

It is worth mentioning that the movement track of the information acquisition device is the same as the shape of the track, wherein, a person skilled in the art can set the shape of the track according to the actual situation of the shelf placement in the warehouse. It is reasonable to arrange the non-closed tracks which are not connected end to end as shown in fig. 3, or the closed tracks which are connected end to end.

Moreover, the track can be fixed on the ceiling of the warehouse through a fixing member, and the track can be hung at a preset distance from the ceiling through a hanging bracket. Of course, it may be disposed on the floor of the warehouse or at a predetermined height from the floor. Although not limited thereto. Also, the relative positions of the shelves and the rails may be set in the manner shown in fig. 3. Of course, it is also possible to arrange the rails directly above the shelves, which is all expedient.

The article checking method provided by the embodiment of the invention is further explained with reference to fig. 4.

Referring to fig. 4, an inventory system provided in an embodiment of the present invention may specifically include: the system comprises an information acquisition device (specifically, the information acquisition device is a pan-tilt camera), a track (wherein, the track is not shown in fig. 4), a server, a router, a desktop computer, a router, a network hard disk video recorder and a liquid crystal television. Wherein, including humiture sensing module and RFID reading module in this cloud platform is made a video recording, and this cloud platform camera can carry out the motion on this track.

It is assumed that during the inventory process, the pan/tilt camera is moving continuously on the track, i.e. does not stay at the preset location. The pan-tilt camera can read the RFID label and collect temperature and humidity data in the moving process after receiving a driving instruction sent by the server, and can shoot all the time in the moving process. And supposing that the cloud deck camera sends the read RFID label, the collected temperature and humidity data and the shot video to the server through the router after the track running is finished, the server can send the video to the network hard disk video recorder for storage after obtaining the read RFID label, the collected temperature and humidity data and the shot video, so that when the video needs to be displayed on the liquid crystal television, the video can be quickly obtained. And moreover, the read RFID label can be compared with the RFID label in storage to obtain an inventory result, and then the inventory result is sent to the desktop, so that a user can conveniently obtain the inventory result in time.

In addition, the checking system can also comprise a user terminal, so that after the server obtains the checking result of the warehouse article, the checking result can be sent to the user terminal, and a user can timely know the checking result corresponding to the warehouse. User terminals include, but are not limited to, computers and cell phones.

In addition, the information acquisition equipment can send the read RFID tags to the server in real time, and can also send all the acquired RFID tags to the server after the inventory is finished, namely the track is operated to the end point, which is reasonable. It is reasonable that the information collecting device may be connected to the server in a wired manner or in a wireless manner.
