Overview
With this application we create a proposal to automate the click and collect service in the wholesale warehouses, taking into account the operation as a large vending machine.
Working as a vending machine, it has the characteristic of managing inventories, modules for secure connection to a server to receive orders and at the same time make re-stock orders, nfc reader modules to read wholesale customer cards. All this driven internally by a system of conveyor belts managed by motors.
With current technologies we can present the evolution of wineries to Industry 4.0 powered by NXP.
We have a control by sections managed by a main controller, we have the following sections:
Inventory reception: It consists of a reader of an NFC tag or a QR code to read the product and be able to move it to its corresponding storage section
Inventory management: Connection to the cloud to be monitoring in real time to use algorithms handling orders, inputs and outputs
Internal logistics: It consists of motor control by section for the mobility and arrangement of articles. It uses sensors for safety in mobility and accident prevention.
Customer interface: NFC or QR code reader for package pickup reading indicator, touch screen to display data and customer confirmation.
