Vending machine and intelligent inventory monitoring system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a vending machine and an intelligent inventory monitoring system and method. Various to-be-sold commodities are arranged in the vending machine, the different types of commodities have different weight ranges, commodities in a set weight range are identified as the same type of commodities, and weight of the commodities has one-to-one correspondence relationships with the types of the commodities. A weighing device used for weighing the commodities is arranged on a goods receiving mechanism. The vending machine is in communication connection with a monitoring end. In commodity output, MCU of the vending machine obtains weight data of a commodity through the weighing device, then obtains commodity sales data, and feeds back the sales data to the monitoring end for realizing monitoring implementing of the monitoring end on inventory of the vending machine. The monitoring end is a server (platform) or a mobile terminal. According to the intelligent inventory monitoring method of the vending machine, process designing is reasonable, and highly efficient inventory counting can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic vending machine, an intelligent inventory monitoring system and a method. Background technique [0002] The vigorous development of vending machines requires a dedicated replenishment team to replenish the vending machines in real time. When the replenishment staff carries the goods to each vending machine for replenishment, the replenishment staff needs to check which items need to be replenished for each vending machine. , and the quantity of the item. [0003] There are three roles involved in vending machine operations for merchandising: the owner of the vending machine, the vending machine lineman (employee of the vending machine owner), and the customer. Each owner has N vending machines in operation, and each lineman operates and manages M of the N units to realize daily replenishment of the vending machines, and consumers purchase goods from the vending machines on demand. [0004] (1) Consumer demand for...

[0006] 2: I don't want this kind of thing to happen: when I choose goods on the vending machine, I accidentally choose an empty goods lane, but I pay the money, but I can't get the goods, and all kinds of troubles that may be caused by subsequent complaints

[0013] The current status of vending machine inventory management: either there is no inventory management, and replenishment is entirely based on experience, or after each vending machine is replenished, the lineman replenishes the goods one by one through the vending machine or the mobile phone human-machine interface. The replenishment time is long, Low efficiency and error-prone. Due to greatly prolonging the replenishment time of a single machine, many linemen finally choose to give up inventory entry
