Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the transport of a plurality of objects and an arrangement for transporting a plurality of objects.
  • the articles are in particular different mail items.
  • the items go through a sorting system at least twice.
  • the first pass reads the specific specification of the delivery point that is attached to the item. In at least one further pass, this reading result is determined.
  • EP 1222037 Bl the method known from DE 4000603 C2 is developed further. A method is suggested of how to narrow the search space by searching the pattern of the item to identify the item.
  • a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 10 are known from US 2005/0123170 A1.
  • the items are consignments, each carrying a delivery address.
  • On the first pass of a transmission an image of the surface of the transmission is generated and an identifier of the transmission is generated. This identifier is generated depending on the generated image of the program.
  • the Sen- fertil is recognized in another pass by the fact that again an image of the program is generated and the identifier of the program is found again, for which the further image is evaluated.
  • the invention contemplates the possibility that after the second pass it is determined that an item has been misdirected and is not on a transport path leading to the delivery point.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 10, through which the control of the transport is monitored and the cause of errors in the transport control are found.
  • Each item has a specification of a delivery point to which the item is to be transported.
  • the control of the transport of the articles comprises the following steps:
  • Each article passes at least twice through a sorting system.
  • an image of the object is generated, which includes an image of the delivery point specification.
  • the delivery point specification is read during the first pass of the item. This reading result is buffered.
  • a computer-analyzable identifier of the item is generated and buffered. This identifier distinguishes the item from the other items to be transported.
  • the article is transported via a first transport section.
  • a buffered reading result is determined. The determined reading result was at the first
  • the article is transported over a further transport section, depending on the reading result which was determined during the further pass.
  • the procedure for monitoring this transport control comprises the following steps: In both runs, a data record for the object is generated in each case. This data set comprises the image of the object generated during the respective pass.
  • the data set for the object generated during the first pass of each item additionally comprises the generated identifier of the item and the reading result for the item.
  • the data set for the object generated during the further passage of each item additionally comprises the identifier determined for the item. - At least once is checked for at least one item, whether each transport section on which the item has already been transported, is on the way to the specified delivery point or if the item has been misdirected.
  • a checking sequence of steps is performed.
  • This sequence includes the following steps:
  • the actually specified delivery point of the misdirected item is determined. - Records are determined that were generated during a first pass of an item and whose read results match the delivery point of the misdirected item.
  • a search is made for a data record which includes an image of the misdirected article.
  • the respective image of at least one data record from a further pass containing the object identifier of the misdirected article does not originate from the misdirected object, a message is generated that the error occurred in a further pass of another article the subject identifier of the other item was determined to be the item identifier of the misdirected item. If no data record with an image of the misdirected object is found among the determined data records with a matching read result, a message is generated that the delivery point specification of the misdirected article was read incorrectly.
  • the invention monitors the control of the transport of the articles. It provides a method to find the reason that an item was misdirected and therefore transported on an incorrect transport section that does not lead to the delivery point.
  • the sorting system detects the delivery information incorrectly during the first pass of an item. The reading result does not therefore match the delivery point that is actually specified on the item.
  • - Identification error In another pass, the cached delivery information was not determined correctly.
  • Transport error A sorting system has made a mechanical error during another pass during transport or during discharge. Or the item was transported by a different route than specified by the sorting system.
  • the invention thus provides a method for measuring quality for the control of the transport of objects through at least one sorting system.
  • the invention saves the need to monitor an item during its transport and to record on which transport sections it is transported. This would require an additional measuring device.
  • Figure 1 shows the transport of shipments and the control of this transport
  • FIG. 2 shows the method carried out in the exemplary embodiment with reference to a flow chart.
  • the objects to be transported are mail items, z. B. letters and / or packages.
  • the invention can just as well be applied to other objects to be transported, eg. As luggage of travelers or containers for sea or land transport.
  • a mail item in particular a letter, travels at least twice through a sorting system on its way from the place of delivery to the predetermined delivery point.
  • a specification of the delivery point e.g. As the indication of a delivery address is noted on the shipment.
  • the consignment is delivered to a place of delivery and is to be transported to this delivery point.
  • FIG. 1 four programs Se-I.1, Se-I.2, Se-I.3 and Se-2.1 are shown. These four consignments are to be transported to the delivery points ZP-I.1, ZP-I.2, ZP-I.3 and ZP-2.1.
  • the delivery points ZP-I.1, ZP-I.2 and ZP-I.3 belong to the delivery area ZB-I, the delivery point ZP-2.1 to the delivery area ZB-2.
  • Thick arrows are in Figure 1 for material flows, thin arrows for data flows.
  • the sorting system attempts to detect the specified delivery point on the consignment. If this is not successful, at least the delivery area in which the delivery point lies is recognized.
  • the delivery point is, in particular, a specific delivery address, the delivery area is a specific zip code or a "postal code.” If the sorting system fails to find a delivery area automatically by means of "optical character recognition" (OCR), then manual video coding ensues , Manual video coding usually only finds one delivery area.
  • OCR optical character recognition
  • the four consignments first pass through the sorting installation AnI-O after their entry.
  • This sorting system AnI-O comprises a reading device LE, which reads the destination points on the four programs.
  • the sorting AnI-O generates records and writes them to a central data store DS.
  • the shipment is transported via a first transport section, which depends on the result of the reading result.
  • the two transmissions Se-I.1 and Se-I.2 are first transported via the transport section TA-I, which leads to the delivery area ZB-I.
  • the transmissions Se-I.3 and Se-2.1 are first transported via the transport section TA-2, which leads to the delivery area ZB-2.
  • the shipment Se-I.3 is thus transported via a wrong transport section, that is to say via a transport section which leads to the delivery area ZB-2 instead of to the correct delivery area ZB-I.
  • This sorting plant can be the same or a different sorting plant as in the first pass, depending on where the place of delivery and the delivery point are located.
  • the two shipments Se-1.1 and Se-I.2 pass through the sorting installation AnI-I, the two shipments Se-I.3 and Se-2.1 through the sorting installation Anl-2.
  • the sorting system AnI-I and Anl-2 have read access to the central data memory DS.
  • the two transmissions Se-I.1 and Se-I.2 are transported via the further transport section TA-3 to the delivery area ZB-I.
  • the two transmissions Se-I.3 and Se-2.1 are transported to the delivery area ZB-2 via the further transport section TA-4 after passing through AnI-I.
  • the delivery information (delivery point or delivery area), which was detected during the first pass, is encoded and buffered in coded form ("distribution code") the coded and intermediate stored delivery information automatically detected again.
  • the shipment is transported depending on the delivery information, which was determined during the further run, over a further transport section.
  • the recognized delivery information is often encoded and buffered by the sorter printing a bar code onto the mailing or otherwise applying it to the mailing surface on the first pass Stroke pattern and determines the further transport section depending on the read bar pattern.After the further run, the shipment is transported over this further transport section.
  • fingerprint refers to a process that avoids or supplements the printing of a bar pattern on a mailpiece, during which the sorting system scans the surface of the mailpiece, evaluates the image thus obtained, and generates a feature vector the surface, eg a distribution of color values and gray values A unique identifier of the shipment is generated automatically.
  • fingerprinting is used, and the method can likewise be used in conjunction with printed line patterns.

  • each of these prior records was generated when or after a shipment first passed through a sorter.
  • data records generated during the first run of a shipment are referred to as first data records.
  • each of these first data records contains the identifier of the program, the coded delivery information and the coded feature vector as well as the time of generation.
  • first data records are used for comparison. These first data records are stored in the central data memory DS, to which all sorting systems have read access. The selected data sets are searched for that feature vector which is most similar to the further feature vector. It is automatically concluded that the record of this most similar feature vector found in this way originates from the same shipment as the data record of the shipment currently being examined. The coded delivery information of this data record is used as the sought delivery point and determine the further transport section, via which the shipment is transported after this further pass.
  • the delivery person reads the respective delivery point on each shipment of the quantity. If the delivery point of a shipment is not on its delivery / delivery run, then an error has occurred during the previous transport of the shipment. The misdirected and therefore misdirected shipment exists and is used for the procedure.
  • the embodiment of the invention provides a method to find the cause that a shipment was misdirected and therefore transported on a wrong transport section that does not lead to the delivery point.
  • Three groups of causes are possible:
  • the sorting system detects the delivery information incorrectly the first time a consignment is processed.
  • - Identification error In another pass, the cached delivery information was not determined correctly. In the case of printed bar patterns, the bar pattern was printed incorrectly or misread. In the case of fingerprinting, the wrong feature vector was identified as the most similar feature vector, ie the feature vector from another broadcast.
  • - Transport error A sorting system has made a mechanical error during another pass during transport or during discharge. Or the shipment was transported in a different way than specified by the sorting system.
  • the invention thus provides a method for quality measurement for controlling the transport of consignments through at least one sorting system.
  • a data record is also created for each further passage of the consignment through a sorting system.
  • the data record which is created during the first pass of a program is called the first data record. So there are first records and more records.
  • This further data record for the shipment which is generated in the further run, comprises initially
  • a delivery information cached and coded for the first run is present for the mailpiece.
  • the further data record is supplemented by the following data of the first data record:
  • the further data record may contain a copy of the ascertained delivery information and the identifier or else a reference to the first data record from which this information originates.
  • each record contains a timestamp, namely information about when the Record was generated.
  • this timestamp is used to determine if a record is a first record or not. If a further, older data record with the same mailing ID is found for a data record x, then the data record x is not a first but a further data record.
  • each data record additionally contains an identifier as to whether this data record is a first or a further data record.
  • This marking is z. B. a single bit. "1" means: first record. "0" means: another record.
  • each run of the shipment that surface of the shipment is scanned on which a specification of the delivery point is attached. As a result, a computer-accessible image of the mailing surface is generated in each case. Each pass generates such an image again.
  • Each data record that is generated during a run of the shipment is supplemented by the image of the mailing surface that was created during this run. Each record thus also includes an image of the surface.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the method implemented in the exemplary embodiment with reference to a flowchart.
  • Se-I.3 is a misdirected broadcast. Upon arrival in the delivery area ZB-2, it is determined that Se-I.3 is actually to be transported to the delivery area 1.
  • the actual delivery point of the misdirected shipment is identified (step S1) and then exists (result E1).
  • This delivery point is coded (step S2). For example, a person reads the delivery point and enters it into a computer. The computer generates the coding of the delivery point. It is also possible that the surface of the misdirected shipment is scanned again, the delivery point is automatically detected and a person checks the reading result and corrected if necessary.
  • the coding of the delivery point of the misdirected shipment is available in computer-available form (result E2).
  • the coded delivery points of the data records are equal to the coded delivery point of the misdirected shipment.
  • the records are first records, so were generated on a first pass of a shipment.
  • a set of first data sets is first preselected according to a criterion. For example, all first records that were generated by certain sorting systems in a certain period of time are preselected. These sorting systems are z. For example, those who process shipments from the delivery location of the misdirected shipment first. These first records were generated on a first pass. In this first run, the sorting system has recognized the delivery point of the shipment and stored in coded form. It is possible that the sorting system has detected the delivery point incompletely or even incorrectly.
  • the predefined period starts five days before the time the procedure was performed and ends two days before that time.
  • the beginning and the end of this predetermined period depend on the usual transit times of consignments and on the time when it was discovered that the consignment was misdirected.
  • each record is determined whose coded delivery point is equal to the coded delivery point of the misdirected shipment.
  • the step S3 yields as a result a set of data records (result E3).
  • the surface of the misdirected broadcast is compared with those broadcast surface images belonging to the selected first records (step S4). It checks whether one of these images originates from the misdirected shipment. All first records resulting from the misdirected shipment are determined.
  • the images are grouped for this purpose.
  • a feature that has each mailing surface image and that can be automatically detected is used.
  • the feature space (value range of the feature) is subdivided into classes. All broadcast surface images whose feature values fall into the same class are assigned to the same group.
  • the feature is, for example, a measurement of the broadcast or a distribution of gray tones.
  • the misdirected broadcast is compared to classes of images. For example, a class of images similar to the misdirected broadcast is first selected. The search continues under the images of this class.
  • the process continues to two different extents, depending on whether or not at least one image from the misdirected transmission was found among the images of the selected first data sets (branch Al).
  • the first data record comprising the image of the misdirected shipment contains the coding of the correct delivery point of the misdirected shipment.
  • the coded delivery point specification of the misdirected shipment agrees with this coded delivery point of the found first data set.
  • each record includes an automatically generated identifier of a shipment. This identifier is generated the first time a program is run. Each record that was generated in a further run of the shipment is supplemented in the embodiment by this identifier after the shipment has been identified. Each ID thus comes from the first pass.
  • a record containing the image of the misdirected shipment also includes the identifier of the misdirected shipment.
  • search is made for all other records including the same shipment identifier as the first misdirected shipment record (step S8).
  • These records were generated on further runs of the misdirected shipment - unless an identification error occurred. In fact, it is also possible that at least one of these data records was actually generated during the passage of another program and was erroneously assigned to the misdirected program. So step S8 provides all other records with the identifier of the misdirected shipment (result E8).
  • step S9 all other records containing the misdirected shipment identifier are compared with the misdirected shipment. In this case, the images of these further data sets are compared with the surface of the misdirected shipment.
  • step S8 It is checked whether the images of all of these additional data records found in step S8 are actually from the misdirected transmission (branch A3). If this is the case, then it is clear that no identification error has occurred (continuation "yes” of A3) .Thus, the only result is that there is a transport error (result R5), that is the sorting plants have worked correctly. A message "No identification error occurred" is generated.
  • the delivery point information was read again in another pass of the misdirected shipment.
  • a first record is retrieved from the misdirected shipment that was generated on that further pass of the misdirected shipment.
  • the sorting system does not automatically detect the exact delivery point on the first pass, it will try to recognize at least the delivery area, e.g. B. a postal code. First of all, the first pass tries to automatically detect the delivery area. If this does not succeed, then an image of the delivery area.
  • two reading depths are distinguished, namely delivery point and delivery area. It is also possible that more than two different reading depths are distinguished, namely z. B. delivery point, delivery area and delivery region.

  • step S6 if among the preselected first records, no data set having the coded delivery point of the misdirected mail originates from the misdirected mail itself, a coarse search is performed (step S6).
  • the delivery area of the misdirected shipment is determined, input and encoded (step S5, returns result E5). All those first records are selected whose coded delivery area is equal to the coded delivery area of the misdirected broadcast (step S6). These are the records of all shipments to the same delivery point or at another delivery point of the delivery area of the misdirected shipment. All first records of shipments are determined at the same delivery area (result E6).
  • step S7 a record containing an image of the misdirected shipment is searched for. It is checked whether such a data record was found in step S7 (branch A2). If such is found (continued "yes” of A2), it is clear that the automatic recognition on the first pass has recognized the delivery point of the misdirected shipment only incompletely (only the delivery area and not the exact delivery point), but this coarser reading result was correct (result R3).
  • the first data record will be searched for the same feed region - provided that three different reading depths are distinguished.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour commander le transport de plusieurs objets (Se-1.1, Se-1.2,...). Une spécification d'un point de distribution où l'objet doit être transporté est apposée sur chaque objet. Chaque objet parcourt au moins deux fois une installation de tri (Anl-0, Anl-1, Anl-2). À chacun des deux passages, on produit une image de l'objet qui comprend une image de la spécification du point de distribution (ZP-1.1, ZP-1.2,...). Lors du premier passage de l'objet, on lit la spécification du point de distribution. Ce résultat de lecture est provisoirement mémorisé. Lors du passage suivant de l'objet à travers l'installation de tri, on estime le résultat de lecture provisoirement mémorisé. Les résultats de lecture commandent le transport des objets. Selon l'invention, on contrôle si un objet a été mal dirigé. Le procédé établit en outre les raisons d'une fausse direction de l'objet : résultat de lecture incorrect, estimation incorrecte du résultat de lecture ou erreur de transport.
