Inventory checking management: the inventory data (time, product name, batch number, code, weight and other custom data) returned by the RFID goods label quick read-write device is stored in a form, and is compared with the inventory form in the WMS/ERP system, the goods data information which is not checked is marked and counted, and the goods checking form is automatically generated.

And (3) checking task design: the configurable checking task flow is preset manually, and an administrator can serially connect the running and stopping routes of the trolley in a form of a task execution flow chart according to actual conditions of different traditional Chinese medicinal materials and different reservoir areas. If the A ground card is set as a traveling starting point, the AGV car is assigned to move to the B ground card position, the stacking on two sides of the roadway is scanned and read, and the AGV car can cross the stopping point of the B ground card without scanning a code label. The task issuing process is that the middleware system issues an advancing instruction to the AGV trolley management system and an instruction for issuing goods label data return to the RFID goods label quick reading and writing device respectively according to the order of the front and the back of the instruction, and the task executing process is flexible and configurable.

Landmark point management: the data is synchronized with landmark card coordinate data and relevant attributes of landmarks in an AGV trolley background management system, and the coordinate position data of the landmark cards can be newly established and managed.

Vehicle management: the main data management module of the AGV comprises the model, the code, the alarm, the state, the position, the electric quantity information and the like of the AGV, and the data field can be adjusted and expanded and is used for carrying out data tracking display on data in the checking track display module. The data of the vehicle management can be synchronized with the vehicle data of the AGV trolley management platform through the interface.

RFID cargo tag card management: the RFID tag is mainly used for converting original RFID data into a structured data form facing the service field and sending the structured data form to a management system for use, and is also used for plug and play of multi-type reader-writer equipment and software for cooperation among the multi-type reader-writer equipment, and is a link for connecting a reader-writer and an application system. The module can be used for managing the RFID electronic tag cards on all the Chinese medicinal material packages.

Data interface management: the method is characterized in that the communication is not directly carried out facing the AGV, the function is that data interaction butt joint is carried out between an application system at the upper level of MES/WMS/ERP and an AGV management system, a Webservice interface transmits data through parameter xml, and an intermediate database table is established between the systems.

And OPC service driving: when the AGV car management system to be integrated lacks part of car running parameters, the module can be in butt joint with a PLC interface of car hardware, and directly collects car related running data and records the data in a data table.

Further, the IT service hardware supporting the software system to operate comprises:

a server: the system is used for storing the data related to the inventory management middleware system and deploying the system and supporting the stable operation of the system.

Wireless network: the system consists of an AC (access controller) and an AP (wireless access point), wherein the AC is connected with a server and forwards an instruction sent by the server to the AP, and the AP converts a data signal into a wireless signal to exchange data with a communication module of the trolley.

And (3) checking task design: before starting an automatic checking task of the AGV, a storage manager logs in a checking management middleware system, and a checking route of the AGV is newly designed according to a self-defined flow sequence in a checking task design module. The travelling route of the trolley stops station by station according to the position of the landmark card, and the station numbers are arranged in sequence. Such as: first station a, second station B, third station C, fourth station B, station …, and so on. The station association is that stations of two adjacent straight traveling routes are associated station by station to form a station inventory path in series. Meanwhile, setting the association operation of the station path nodes, and whether to start an RFID read-write device to read data of the goods labels on one side of the roadway and whether to simultaneously read the goods labels on two sides of the roadway; and setting a parking waiting time delay so that the RFID reading and writing device can smoothly complete the scanning of the electronic tag of the goods and the interaction of data.

Checking task simulation: in the checking track display module, the set tasks in the previous step are subjected to analog simulation, and whether the traveling route of the trolley meets the design requirements or not and whether all related goods required to be checked are checked or not can be checked.

And (3) task issuing: the system pushes the tasks to the AGV trolley management system through the data interface according to the flow sequence and the setting, and after the AGV trolley management system receives the task data, the system returns a received data signal to the middleware system, and the system judges that the tasks are completely issued.

And (3) task execution: the AGV car performs the task of moving from one landmark card coordinate point to another landmark card coordinate point, and the travel route between the two coordinate points is a straight line. If an obstacle and a fault are encountered during traveling, the AGV automatically executes a preset obstacle removing program in a trolley management system; when the AGV trolley moves to the coordinate specified by the task flow node, the AGV trolley returns the instruction of finishing parking to the inventory management middleware system, the system sends the instruction to a card reader installed on the trolley through an RFID cargo tag card management module according to the set condition, and the card reader emits electromagnetic waves according to the electromagnetic backscattering coupling principle, reflects after touching the RFID tag card and simultaneously carries back the data information of the target card.

The data on the traditional Chinese medicine RFID tag card is transmitted back to the inventory management middleware system through the wireless WIFI data communication link, and the data is stored in a data table in the inventory management module. The data in the data table is compared with inventory data in the WMS/ERP system through the data interface, and if inventory goods data is matched with the inventory data in the WMS/ERP system, the data is automatically marked to be inventoried.

And the AGV finishes all checking tasks according to a preset advancing task flow.

And after abnormal behavior data in task execution is recorded by the vehicle management module and exceeds the preset warning value threshold range, the system issues an instruction to the AGV trolley management system, stops the running of the AGV trolley and sends an alarm prompt in the inventory track display module.

Task reporting: after the AGV trolley executes the current inventory task, the aggregated goods inventory data form an aggregation statistical table, and the consumption condition of the goods is displayed. And the data is submitted to the WMS/ERP system.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications of equivalent structures and equivalent processes, which are made by using the contents of the present specification and the accompanying drawings, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
