Inventory management system using automated guided vehicle

Abstract

An inventory management system using an automated guided vehicle that moves back and forth along a guideline and that scans articles on shelves is introduced. The inventory management system may comprise: a scanning unit for recognising information about articles stacked on shelves; a guideline following a plurality of spaced apart shelves; a vehicle for supporting the scanning unit and for moving along the guideline by recognising the guideline; and a control unit for controlling the vehicle such that the vehicle can move along the guideline that is recognised using a line recognition part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inventory management system using an automatic guided vehicle, in particular, an inventory management system utilizing an automatic guided vehicle that moves along a guide line while efficiently scanning goods in shelves that are spaced apart. Background technique [0002] With the development of wireless identification technology using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification), the technology of using RFID system on the shelf to collect the information of the goods in the shelf has gradually surfaced. [0003] For example, when the RFID tag is pasted on the goods and displayed on the shelf, and then the scanning device is moved to read the RFID tag, the reader can confirm the number of goods stored on the shelf and the number of goods entering and leaving the warehouse in real time through the label information of the RFID label. In this way, specific information such as the characteristics, manufacturing date, and shel...
