Description

RFID-based intelligent packaging box item conveying and sorting test system

technical field

The RFID-based intelligent packaging box item conveying sorting test system of the present invention relates to a material handling system, especially to classify random, different types, and different destination items according to their requirements (according to product category or product destination) It is a material handling system of different points), especially suitable for the rapid automatic sorting of modern e-commerce logistics parcels, express trunk lines, airport luggage, etc. in regional transfer centers.

Background technique

With the vigorous development of e-commerce, the package express business has developed rapidly. More and more e-commerce companies are beginning to use standardized packaging boxes to repack small items, which not only facilitates the palletizing of packages, but also saves packaging costs to a certain extent. Standardized packaging also plays a good role in protecting fragile small items. Through the classification of existing commodities, the packaging can be standardized and defined. Generally, labeling methods, such as 1-6, are used to distinguish specifications. Standardized packaging can be quickly conveyed through the conveyor line, and can also be sorted quickly through the sorting system.

With the improvement of social productivity and the increasing variety of commodities, the sorting operation in the field of production and circulation has become a time-consuming, labor-intensive, large-area occupation, high error rate, and complex management department. For this reason, post and telecommunications, In industries such as aviation, food, and medicine, distribution centers and distribution centers urgently need item sorting and conveying systems; but there is currently no mature product that can quickly and accurately sort the above items.

1) Start the control system, select the "box sorting" operation option on the PC display interface, and enter the box sorting interface;

2) Start the reader configuration module, and the system program will automatically identify the reader model connected to the system;

3) Through the sorting rule setting module, set the direction of the position where the required packing box arrives, and the position direction includes the position of straight line and lane separation, so as to complete the rule setting;

4) Through the sorting start module, the sorting operation starts, and the flexible conveyor line runs automatically;

5) Place the simulated packaging boxes to be sorted on the flexible conveyor line manually or mechanically. When the packaging boxes are transported to the area where the motion detector is located, the sorting operation module will automatically start the reader to read the RFID tag information, according to The RFID tag information of the packaging box detected by the antenna will transport the packaging box to the arrival position set in step 3);

6) Through the sorting stop module, close the RFID-based intelligent packing box item conveying and sorting system.

The advantages of the present invention are: the RFID-based intelligent packaging box article conveying and sorting system can automatically identify the packaging boxes through automatic identification technology, and complete the automatic sorting through the electromechanical control sorting device. Compared with the traditional barcode scanning and sorting, this system is not sensitive to the orientation of the label in the item information collection process, so there is no need to turn over the item or maintain a fixed orientation of the item, which reduces manual intervention and makes the sorting operation more efficient, thereby improving the overall The work efficiency of the sorting test system.
