Hereinafter, in FIG. 2, components for constructing the product control system 200 will be described.

2 is a schematic diagram of a product control system by way of example.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the product control system 200 may include a memory 210 , a communication unit 220 , and a processor 230 .

The communication unit 220 may perform wired or wireless communication with the sales information system 100 , the worker terminal 300 , and the mobile robot 400 . At this time, order information and shipping and arrival information transmitted from the business information system 100 may be transmitted to the communication unit 220 .

In FIG. 3 , description will be continued on the assumption that each step of product distribution automation methods for product distribution in a distribution center is performed by the product control system 200 illustrated in FIG. 1 . However, for convenience of description, the description of the subject of operation of each step included in the methods may be omitted.

3 is a flowchart of a method of distributing box-based logistics products that can be performed in a product control system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In step S100, the product control system 200 may receive order information.

The order information may be information transmitted from the business information system 100 . The order information is information for warehousing and shipping at each customer company using the distribution center, and may include all information on order date, quantity, order product name, product movement area, delivery date, and the like. The order information may be information about products that have been inspected after being brought into the distribution center. Alternatively, it may be information about a product that has been received as a product from a distribution center but has not been inspected yet. Therefore, the order information may include all of the product arrival date, product name, quantity, delivery area, customer company information, and the like.

Accordingly, in the distribution center, products may be transported while moving on a conveyor belt. The work of transporting the product while moving on the conveyor belt may be performed by a worker, or may be performed according to the work of the above-described distribution robot 400 transporting the product on the conveyor belt.

Products are transported through a conveyor belt and can be transported to a certain space and sorted according to order information.

In step S200, the product control system 200 may allocate stores to the distribution robot 400.

The distribution robot 400 may distribute products transported on a conveyor belt and transport them to a certain space. The product control system 200 may distribute and transport a product corresponding to an assigned store in order to classify a specific product among a plurality of products to the distribution robot 400 . Accordingly, when a first store is allocated to the distribution robot 400, products corresponding to the first store may be distributed and transported on a conveyor belt to transport the products to a predetermined space and a product storage rack.

Store information allocated by the product control system 200 may be based on the order information received in step S100. For example, the store information may be store information corresponding to a customer company according to customer company information, or stores may be allocated based on the weight of a product, or stores may be allocated based on a location or region where products are shipped. More specifically, products weighing less than 10 kg may be assigned to the first store, and products weighing less than 10 to 20 kg may be assigned to the second store, and the metropolitan area where the product is shipped may be assigned to the first store, the Gyeongsang-do area to the second store, and the Jeolla-do area to the third store. It is natural that the store allocation method described above corresponds to an example and is not construed as being limited thereto.

The product control system 200 may transmit a command to perform a distribution operation to the distribution robot 400 based on store information, which will be described in more detail using FIG. 4 .

4 is a flowchart of allocating a dispensing robot according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In step S210, product control system 200 may calculate the robot work rate.

When the distribution robot 400 performs distribution work according to pre-allocated store information, the product control system 200 may calculate the work rate of the distribution robot 400 for the distribution work. The work rate may be calculated based on the number of products distributed by the distribution robot 400 for a certain period of time. For example, when the distribution robot 400 distributes 50 products for 1 minute, the work rate is calculated as 50, and when the distribution robot 400 distributes 100 products for 1 minute, the work rate can be calculated as 100.

In step S220, the product control system 200 may calculate a store grade.

The product control system 200 may calculate grade information for the assigned store information. The rating information determines the importance of the store, and the product control system 200 may calculate the store rating information according to the importance of the store. For example, if the importance is high among customer companies, the store grade may be calculated as the first grade, and if the importance is low among the customer companies, the store grade may be calculated as the second grade.

In step S230, the product control system 200 may set a slot for each store.

The product control system 200 may set a slot for each store based on the robot work rate and store grade information. The slot is information about the degree of job performance of the distribution robot 400 that performs work corresponding to the store grade information. When more slots are allocated, the distribution robot 400 can be additionally allocated to perform a distribution operation, or when more slots are allocated, the slot allocation information can be transmitted to the worker terminal 300 so that the operator can additionally perform a distribution operation.

Alternatively, assigning more slots may be transmitting a command to increase the work performance speed of the distribution robot 400 . For example, when the product control system 200 allocates more slots per store than preset slots based on the robot work rate and store grade information, the distribution speed of the distribution robot 400 is higher than the preset speed, thereby controlling the speed of the distribution operation.

Correspondingly, it is natural that the product control system 200 may allocate a slot lower than a preset slot for the distribution work performed by the distribution robot 400 .

Through this, the product control system 200 can more efficiently control the product distribution work performed by the distribution robot 400 .

In step S300 of FIG. 3 , the product control system 200 may reflect corrected order information.

The modified order information may be information transmitted from the business information system 100 . The modified order information relates to information modified by comparison with previously input information among information about order date, quantity, order product name, product movement area, delivery date, and the like.

Accordingly, the modified order information relates to information having a change in order information previously transmitted in real time.

The product control system 200 transmits the corrected order information to both the distribution robot 400 and the worker terminal 300, and can efficiently control the operation.

In step S400, product control system 200 may receive work information.

The product control system 200 may receive information about a distribution job performed by the distribution robot 400 . For example, information on completed distribution work or information on unfinished products may be included, and it is natural that the work rate of the distribution robot 400, assigned store information, and slot information may also be included. Accordingly, the product control system 200 may compare information transmitted from the distribution robot 400 with job information received through the distribution robot 400 and analyze the difference between them.

Also, the product control system 200 may receive information about the work performed by the operator from the operator terminal 300 . The information about the work performed by the worker is information input by the worker to the worker terminal 300, and may include information about the content of the work, the time of the work, and the work rate.

In step S500, the product control system 200 may transmit performance information to the business information system 100.

The product control system 200 may transmit information about products for which distribution work has been completed to the sales information system 100 as performance information based on the transmitted work information.

The sales information system 100 may convert and store performance information received through the product control system 200 into a database.

Here, the conveying of the product 40 on the conveyor belt may be performed directly by a worker, or may be performed by a distribution robot 400 although not shown in FIG. 5 .

The product scanning device 41 in the conveyor belt may scan the product 40 and transmit information about the product to the product control system 200 , the worker terminal 300 , and the distribution robot 400 . More specifically, the product scanning device 41 is an electronic device capable of scanning four sides of the product 40 and extracting information about the size, weight, product type, etc. of the product 40 transported through the conveyor belt. It is an electronic device capable of extracting.

In addition, the product scanning device 41 may be an electronic device capable of recognizing a certain label attached to the product 40 and extracting product information included in the label.
