Under the background of accelerating the pace of economic globalization and increasingly complex logistics activities, warehousing logistics, as the central link in the process of goods circulation, has become the key to determine the development of enterprises and the competitiveness of the industrial chain. Manufacturing, e-commerce, third-party logistics and other types of logistics in the port terminal, warehouse operation scenario, through indoor positioning technology and RFID, two-dimensional code, so that every element in the turnover process can be perceived and tracked, combined with the continuous optimization of big data analysis platform analysis, so that the logistics capacity of enterprises to further optimize and improve. The important role of indoor positioning technology in warehousing and logistics is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Real-time dynamic and orderly management of goods. Through indoor positioning technology, real-time dynamic and orderly management of numerous quantities and varieties of materials in warehousing and logistics can be carried out to achieve intelligent management level and material circulation speed in the processes of warehousing, warehousing, movement, inventory and search of materials. To the maximum extent to avoid long acceptance time in the warehouse, disorderly and inaccurate inventory in the warehouse, long picking time out of the warehouse and often pick the wrong goods, as well as goods damage, loss or expired claims. Based on the accurate positioning of each cargo, combined with CV (computer vision), it can quickly locate abnormal goods that are damaged or slip the slide, and warn of operations such as blockage of the slide and obstructed transportation. At the same time, optimize the warehouse shelf management in terms of the rational layout of the shelf operation and the best path combination of the picking, and when it is transferred to the sorting center, it can effectively prevent the goods from being sorted to the wrong network or sorting center.
Intelligent scheduling and safety management of vehicle equipment, aiming at logistics warehouses and ports with large storage reserves, large turnover and large area, the overall management of forklift/trailer is realized through positioning technology, and the utilization efficiency of forklift/trailer is improved by realizing intelligent deployment and reasonable route planning to prevent misalignment. Through the setting of safety distance and electronic fence, the maximum extent to prevent human-vehicle collision accidents. Accurate positioning makes the management of forklifts, cattle and cage vehicles in the warehouse simpler and more operable. In terms of practical applications, such as loading and unloading of pallet goods during forklift operation, palletico, short-distance transportation, reverse search of vehicles, path planning and navigation, as well as accurate tracking based on real-time position can play a role in human and vehicle safety, vehicle safety, and reduce accidents in the warehouse.
Efficient personnel management, based on the real-time positioning data of personnel, personnel attendance, time statistics, arrival/departure and other work status management. With the blessing of accurate indoor positioning, it can improve the accuracy of real-time scheduling of warehouse staff, operation area management, and safe channel gathering early warning. For example, the common review and picking operations in the warehouse can optimize the picking path according to the location of people and packages in advance to achieve the cost optimization of goods picking. At the same time, the track information of personnel is continuously recorded and the data of cargo picking behavior is analyzed. Through unsupervised learning, the picking path recommendation results are continuously optimized. At the same time, through the presentation of personnel heat, it can also assist the management personnel in the warehouse to more reasonable manpower layout and do business management such as attendance.
Vehicle management and automation, the positioning of movable shelves, pallets, material boxes and other vehicles carrying goods, through the effective management of vehicles, indirectly to achieve the orderly management of their cargo. In addition, in the face of the increasingly extensive application of automation equipment such as AGV, the efficient collaboration between AGV and vehicle can be realized through positioning technology, and the functions such as automated pick-up can be realized to further release the value of automation equipment.
In the warehousing and logistics operation scenario, location information is mainly used to improve the warehousing order and the efficiency of material circulation, which has high requirements on positioning accuracy, small size and low power consumption for positioning terminals or positioning labels, especially for positioning terminals on goods. Logistics warehousing application scenarios Combine 5G, positioning, IoT, AI and other technologies to jointly promote the development of logistics intelligence and jointly drive the cost reduction and efficiency of the material flow industry.
