A Warehouse Management System with UAV Based on Digital Twin and 5G Technologies

In this paper, a warehouse management system with UAV based on digital twin and 5G technology will be introduced. The system aim at the problems of imperfect information exchange, disorder of cargo statistics and laborious manual cargo inventory, in order to realize intelligent, controllable and convenient warehouse management, a warehouse management system with UAV based on digital twin and 5G technology is developed. We use Ali cloud as data processing center and 5G communication as the core exchange means. The digital twin platform and the entity warehouse are successfully docked. The flight data and cargo information of the entity warehouse with UAV are uploaded to Ali cloud through 5G communication, and then are sent to the digital twin platform to get real-time warehouse data and visual feedback. At the same time, the instructions are sent by the digital twin platform to operate the UAV. In addition, the instructions are uploaded to Ali cloud, and then are sent to the entity warehouse through the cloud for real-time remote control of the UAV, which realizes the two-way information interaction between the virtual platform and the real platform. Ultimately, the problems of low intelligent level in the logistics warehouse management system and the dilatory feedback of goods information in warehouse are solved.
