Specifically, when the unit to which the target terminal belongs needs to use dangerous goods, for example, when a firework factory needs to use gunpowder to manufacture fireworks, the target terminal sends goods transfer information to the supervision platform, after receiving the goods transfer information, the supervision platform can generate a production request carrying goods demand information according to the goods transfer information and send the production request to the goods production terminal, so that the goods production terminal can further extract the goods demand information from the production request when receiving the production request, obtain information such as types, quantity and the like of required goods of the unit to which the target terminal belongs according to the goods demand information, and then the supervision platform can produce the required goods according to the information such as the types, quantity and the like of the required goods.
S102, after receiving locking information sent by an article production terminal, sending a transport instruction to the article production terminal; the locking information is generated when the first key of the logistics box is used for locking the logistics box loaded with the required articles and comprises information of identification codes of the logistics box loaded with the required articles; the transport instruction is used for instructing the unit to which the article production terminal belongs to transport the logistics box for loading the required articles to the unit to which the target terminal belongs.
Wherein, the logistics box is produced by a logistics box manufacturer and is used for loading dangerous goods. Install intelligent lock on the commodity circulation case, and need use corresponding key just can open or lock. In this embodiment, when the unit to which the object production terminal belongs finishes producing the required object required by the unit to which the target terminal belongs, the produced required object can be loaded in a prepared logistics box, the loaded logistics box is locked by using a first key corresponding to the logistics box, meanwhile, the first key can generate locking information and synchronously upload the locking information to the object production terminal, and then the object production terminal sends the locking information to the supervision platform. The above-mentioned lock information includes the information of the identification code of the logistics box loading the demand article, when the supervision platform receives the lock information, it indicates that the logistics box indicated by the lock information has been loaded, and the logistics box is to be transported to the unit to which the target terminal belongs, at this time, the supervision platform can correspondingly generate the transport instruction to indicate the article production terminal to transport the logistics box loading the demand article to the unit to which the target terminal belongs immediately after receiving the transport instruction.
In practical applications, the present embodiment provides a structure of a logistics box, for example, materials of the logistics box may be engineering plastics or aluminum alloy, or may be other types of materials, which is not limited to this embodiment.
