A method of using a picking system for a small warehouse:

establishing a material database in a warehouse management system of the mobile terminal:

1) an operator inputs the material goods number to be put in storage through a keyboard, or scans the goods number bar code on the storage order through a handheld scanning gun, or scans the label bar code on the material to be put in storage, so that the material goods number to be put in storage is automatically input.

2) After the warehouse management system inquires, if the material belongs to a new material, an operator needs to manually select a classification partition to which the material belongs on the warehouse management system, the material is suitable for a high warehouse space or a low warehouse space, then the warehouse management system distributes a warehouse space and a blank material box according to a principle of reasonably utilizing the space, and after the operator confirms, the material box number of the blank material box is bound with the material number.

3) Adding a material box: when the existing material box space cannot meet the inventory requirement, an operator is required to input a material adding box instruction at themobile terminal 4, and the material goods number to be put in storage is input through a keyboard, or the goods number bar code on the warehousing entry is scanned through handheld scanning, or the material label bar code is scanned, so that the material goods number to be put in storage is input. The warehouse management system can automatically display the shelf, the subarea and the storage position of the currently bound material box, and at the moment, one material box or a plurality of material boxes can be bound. And simultaneously, the warehouse management system distributes similar blank material boxes nearby, inquires whether an operator binds the material boxes, and completes the adding operation of the blank material boxes after confirmation. If the warehouse management system does not find a blank bin or blank magazine nearby, it is necessary to manually select to use other bins and blank magazines.

Warehousing materials:

1) an operator inputs the material goods number to be put in storage into themobile terminal 4 through a keyboard, or scans the goods number bar code on the putting-in order through a handheld scanning gun, or scans the label bar code on the material to be put in storage, so as to realize the automatic input of the material goods number to be put in storage;

2) and the warehouse management system inquires and obtains the position information of the material.

3) The warehouse management system sends data to the picking control system, the picking control system starts aprompt lamp 3 of a shelf where the materials are located to light, the driving holder points to the warehouse position, the laser emitter emits red light spots to the material box to flash to remind, the warehouse position information of the materials is projected, a nearby human-computer interface 2 of the shelf channel lights and synchronously displays the warehouse position information of the materials, and the human-computer interface 2 serves as a billboard at the moment.

4) The method comprises the steps that an operator finds a corresponding storage position and a corresponding material box according to a flickering light spot, finds the material box to be found according to data on a storage list, scans a material box code by using a nearby handheld scanning gun, performs secondary confirmation, performs acousto-optic confirmation on a nearby human-computer interface 2 after the system confirmation, can store the material box, performs storage operation on corresponding materials, performs storage completion confirmation on the nearby human-computer interface 2 by the operator after the operation is completed, synchronizes the storage information to a warehouse management system, extinguishes a prompt laser, a projection and a prompt lamp, and dims the brightness of the nearby human-computer interface. Thus, the warehousing operation of one material is completed.

Discharging materials out of the warehouse:

1) the operator inputs the material goods number to be delivered to the warehouse into themobile terminal 4 through the keyboard, or scans the goods number bar code on the delivery list through the handheld gun, so as to realize the automatic input of the material goods number to be delivered to the warehouse.

2) And the warehouse management system inquires to obtain the position information of the materials needing to be delivered.

3) The warehouse management system sends data to the picking control system, the picking control system starts a goodsshelf prompting lamp 3 where the material is located to light, the driving holder points to the storage position, the laser emitter emits red light spots to flash, the storage position information of the material is projected, a nearby human-computer interface 2 of the goods shelf channel lights and synchronously displays the material storage position information, and the human-computer interface 2 serves as a billboard at the moment.

4) The operator finds corresponding storehouse position according to the suggestion of scintillation facula, and the magazine finds the material that will find according to the data on the delivery list, takes out required quantity, simultaneously, needs to use and sweeps the sign indicating number rifle and scan the sign indicating number on the magazine, confirms for the secondary, after finishing selecting the material of the definite quantity, the operator will go out of the warehouse on human-computer interface 2 and confirm the operation nearby, and the material goods number of selecting, quantity confirm out of the warehouse. And synchronizing the warehouse-out information to a warehouse management system, and simultaneously turning off a prompt laser, a projection and a prompt lamp to finish the warehouse-out action of the material.

And (4) inventory storage:

planning a stock inventory: inputting a stock inventory command to amobile terminal 4, selecting a planned stock inventory, inputting a stock inventory sequence, transmitting material stock position information to a picking control system by a warehouse management system according to the input stock inventory sequence, controlling aprompt lamp 3 of a shelf where materials are located to be lightened by the picking control system, controlling a holder to rotate in a pitching mode, positioning a laser transmitter to a position of a material box capable of transmitting laser to the materials, transmitting light spots by the laser transmitter, projecting the stock position information of the materials, starting stock inventory operation, confirming at a human-computer interface 2 after inventory, confirming all the materials, and finishing stock inventory.

Sequentially checking a library: inputting a stock inventory command to amobile terminal 4, selecting a sequential stock inventory, transmitting material stock inventory information to a picking control system by a warehouse management system according to a stock inventory sequence, controlling aprompt lamp 3 of a shelf where a material is located to be lightened by the picking control system, controlling a holder to rotate in a pitching manner, positioning a laser transmitter to a position of a material box capable of transmitting laser to the material, transmitting light spots by the laser transmitter, projecting the stock inventory information of the material, starting stock inventory operation, confirming at a human-computer interface 2 after stock inventory, confirming all the materials, and finishing stock inventory.

While one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail, the description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
