Abstract

The present invention discloses a system for zonal warehousing management, which comprises a central processing system and a data collection terminal which exchanges data with the central processing system. The said data collection terminal collects the in/out warehouse data of kinds of goods and then sends them to the central processing system for statistics, analysis and storage. The said central processing system includes real-time storage database, warehouse zone database and a location assignment unit, wherein the warehouse zone database stores the data of the goods zonal warehouse management capacity and the location in use of the managed warehouse, and the location assignment unit reads the above data according to the characteristic data of the goods in/out warehouse to assign corresponding zone location for the goods in warehouse. Optimization controls to storage method, storage quantity and storage time are made according to the management condition of enterprises. When optimization question appears, alarm is produced. Therefore, the system promotes the management level of the enterprise.

Claims

1. A system for zonal warehousing management, comprising a central processing system and a data collection terminal which exchanges data with the central processing system;

the data collection terminal collects the in/out warehouse data of kinds of goods and then sends them to the central processing system for statistic, analysis and storage;

the said central processing system includes real-time storage database, warehouse zone database and a location assignment unit;

wherein the warehouse zone database stores the data of the goods zonal warehouse management capacity and the location in use of the managed warehouse, and the location assignment unit reads the above data according to the characteristic data of the goods in/out warehouse to assign corresponding zone location for the goods in warehouse.

2. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 1, wherein further comprises storage optimization database, data statistic unit, data comparing and analysis unit, data storage and output unit, manual input device and central control unit;

the data statistic unit is used for acquiring the data of kinds of goods in/out warehouse, which is collected by the data collection terminal, reading the corresponding data in the real-time storage database and then statistical calculation is made to get the data for the storage quantity, in/out time and the goods characteristics, etc;

then the said data is sent to the real-time storage database by the data storage and output unit;

the data comparison and analysis unit reads the above data from the real-time storage database, and the optimization program and parameters of the stored optimized data for optimization calculation;

when the storage quantity is beyond the upper limit, the excessive signal is produced;

when the storage quantity is less than the lower limit, the shortage signal is produced;

when the storage time of the stored goods reaches the alarm time, the storage alarm signal is produced;

these signal are sent to the storage optimization unit through the data storage and output unit to display;

the data storage and output unit is used for sending the data from the data statistic unit, data comparison and analysis unit and manual input device to corresponding database for storage, or reading the data in corresponding database according to the instructions from the data statistic unit, data comparison and analysis unit as well as manual input device to display the data;

the said central control unit controls the coordination between the data statistic unit, data comparison and analysis unit, the data storage and output unit and manual input device.

3. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 2, wherein the said data collection terminals collect the in/out goods information, and then send them to the central processing system;

when the goods is entering the warehouse, the central processing system determines the storage zone and assign location for the goods, and sends storage instruction to the operator or the automatic transport device, and stores the entry goods data into the real-time storage database;

when the goods is exiting the warehouse, the instructions is output to the central processing system in manual or mechanical manner;

the central processing system reads the data in the real-time storage database, and determines the location of the goods according to the first-in first-out manner, and sends extracting instructions to the operator or the automatic transport device;

the goods data sent from the data collection terminal is recorded to the real-time storage database.

4. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said collection of the information is completed by using the mobile or fixed bar code recognizer and manual output based on the condition of various goods.

5. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 4, wherein the said data collection terminal communicates with the central processing system in wire or wireless manner.

6. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 5, wherein the said data collection terminal utilizes mobile bar code recognizer which has display screen and manual input device set on, and the said display screen displays the read information of bar code and storage management;

a manual input device is also set for outputting information manually.

7. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 6, wherein the said central processing system further includes a network controller which communicates with the central processing system and bar code recognizer respectively in wire or wireless manner for transferring the information from the central processing system to the bar recognizer and the information collected by the bar code recognizer to the central processing system.

8. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 7, wherein the said network controller has wire network connected port set on it, and the network controller connects with the said central processing system through the wire network connected port and wire network to transform and optimize the communication protocol between the central processing system and the mobile bar code recognizer.

9. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 8, wherein the said central processing system acquires the information from the mobile bar code recognizer and sends the storage management information to the mobile bar code recognizer through the network controller.

10. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 9, wherein the said central processing system communicates with the network controller using the TCP/IP protocol.

11. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 3, wherein the said collection of the information is completed by using the mobile or fixed bar code recognizer and manual output based on the actual condition of various goods.

12. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 11, wherein the said data collection terminal communicates with the central processing system in wire or wireless manner.

13. The system for zonal warehousing management as claimed in claim 12, wherein the said data collection terminal utilizes mobile bar code recognizer which has display screen and manual input device set on, and the said display screen displays the read information of bar code and storage management, a manual input device is also set for outputting information manually.
