Device and method for positioning goods shelf where goods are located
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of logistics, in particular to a device and a method for positioning a goods shelf where goods are located.
Background
Currently, in warehouse management, it is often necessary to count stored items. In the checking, it is necessary to confirm whether or not the position of the article is changed in addition to the number of articles. Warehouse inventorying usually requires a considerable part of manpower and time, and it is very important to improve the efficiency of warehouse management.
The radio frequency identification technology has the advantages of rapid identification, long-distance identification, multi-target identification, non-line-of-sight identification and the like, and is widely applied to the warehousing industry. The article tags are identified by installing the tags for identifying the articles on the articles and utilizing a handheld or movable radio frequency identification reader-writer, so that the quantity of the articles in the warehouse can be rapidly and accurately counted.
Although the quantity of the articles in the warehouse can be rapidly and accurately counted by utilizing the radio frequency identification technology, the information of the goods position where the articles are located is difficult to obtain. The method for locating the storage shelf articles by using radio frequency identification disclosed in chinese patent 202010793948.2 is to locate the positions of the articles by using the intensity of the reflected signals of the tags, and the tags are required to have better consistency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for checking the quantity of articles and acquiring the cargo space of the articles by using radio frequency identification technology, which has low requirement for the consistency of the tags.

the mobile reader-writer is used for identifying the shelf label and the article label and reading information in the label. When the mobile reader-writer is implemented specifically, the ultrahigh frequency radio frequency identification reader-writer which conforms to the ISO/IEC 18000-6C/63 standard is adopted as the mobile reader-writer, and a handheld reader-writer is adopted, or the mobile reader-writer is installed on a cart, or the mobile reader-writer is installed on a movable robot.
The invention also discloses a method for positioning the goods shelf where the goods are positioned by using the device, which comprises the following specific steps:
s1, installing a shelf label; installing a shelf label on a shelf goods location frame, and writing a position code of a shelf into the shelf label; the position codes of the goods shelves comprise the position codes of one or two goods shelves at the upper, lower, left and right sides of the goods shelf labels;
in specific implementation, the position code of the shelf is stored in an Electronic Product Code (EPC) storage area of the shelf label, and the position code of one shelf occupies 48 bits at most, namely 6 bytes.
S2, installing an article label; installing an article label for marking an article on the article, and writing a goods position code of the article into the article label;
when the article is newly added in the warehouse, the article label needs to be installed on the newly added article, and when the position of the existing article is moved, the position code of the goods position in the article label of the existing article needs to be modified. Electronic article code (EPC) information of the article itself is stored in an electronic article code (EPC) storage region of the article tag, and a cargo space position code of the article is stored in a USER information (USER) storage region of the article tag.
S3, positioning the goods position of the goods; the mobile reader-writer identifies the shelf label and the article label, and calculates the goods position of the article label according to the goods shelf position code stored by the shelf label and the goods position code stored by the article label.
In specific implementation, the mobile reader-writer identifies the article tag and the shelf tag at a certain shelf position, and reads electronic article code (EPC) information of the article and a goods position code of the article returned by the article tag. After the mobile reader-writer completes one-time identification, the goods position codes stored in a certain goods label are respectively searched in the shelf position codes of the shelf labels identified this time, if the shelf position codes of 2 or more than 2 shelf labels comprise the goods position codes, the goods position codes of the goods labels are considered to be valid, the goods are confirmed to be in the goods positions marked by the goods position codes, otherwise, the goods position where the goods are located cannot be confirmed.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention is applied to the intelligent warehousing system, can quickly and accurately position the goods position of the goods, reduces the time for searching the goods and improves the warehouse management efficiency. The RFID positioning mode in the invention is simple and effective; the device is flexible to use, and can conveniently modify the article information corresponding to different labels; the object positioning mode has smaller positioning error. According to the invention, the goods and the goods shelf can be positioned by arranging the goods shelf label and the goods label, and the goods can be accurately positioned on which goods grid, so that the goods can be accurately positioned, and the goods are prevented from being lost.
