Abstract

Recently, the retail industry has created efficient store operations, and has differentiated customer service through the future store. The intelligence of these stores is being applied by using technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), and the business process is being improved through this. The process also focuses on efficient store operations and service developments to provide customers with shopping convenience. The change in trends in the industry means that domestic distribution has already reached maturity. Even in countries where retail industries are mature, such as the U.S. and Europe, recent trends are moving toward maximizing operational efficiency and customer service. The reason is that many retailers have already reached saturation and survived the competition. This paper is a study of a drive-through service for automation and efficiency in receiving service after ordering by a customer of the distribution store. When ordering a product being purchased by a customer, the product picking process is done in a timely fashion through a picking scheduling agent. When the customer enters the store parking lot, a service supports the entry of information and finding a parking place so the customer can quickly pick up the goods. The proposed service can be applied to a retail store drive-through system, the distribution store's delivery system, the digital picking system, and indoor/outdoor large parking management systems, and it is possible to provide one-dimensional customer service through the application of IoT technology.

최근 유통산업에서는 Future Store(미래형 매장)를 통해 효율적인 매장운영과 차별화된 고객 서비스를 창출하고 있다. 이러한 매장의 지능화는 IoT 등의 기술을 활용하여 적용되고 있으며 이로 인한 업무 프로세스의 개선을 통한 효율적인 매장운영과 고객의 쇼핑 편리성을 제공하기 위한 서비스 개발에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 이러한 유통산업에서의 추세의 변화는 국내 유통업계에 이미 발전기를 거쳐 성숙기로 접어들고 있다는 의미이기도 하다. 미국 및 유럽 등 유통산업이 먼저 성숙한 국가의 경우에서도 최근의 추세는 운영의 효율성과 고객서비스를 극대화하는 방향으로 가고 있는데 가장 큰 이유는 이미 수많은 유통업체들이 포화상태에 이르러 경쟁에서 살아남기 위함이다. 본 논문은 유통 매장의 고객의 상품주문 후 수취 서비스의 자동화와 효율화를 위한 드라이브 스루 서비스에 대한 연구로서 고객이 구매하고자하는 상품을 주문하면 피킹 스케줄링 에이전트를 통해 적시에 상품 패킹 및 피킹 처리를 한다. 이후 고객이 매장 주차장에 입장하면 입장 정보와 파킹 위치를 파악하여 고객에게 신속하게 상품을 전달할 수 있도록 지원하는 서비스이다. 이를 위해 서비스 시스템 구성, 서비스 프로세스, 소프트웨어 에이전트에 의한 상품 피팅 스케쥴링 기법 및 주문상품 수취 및 확인 프로세스를 제안한다. 제안한 서비스는 유통매장 드라이브 스루 시스템, 유통매장 배송 시스템, 유통 물류 디지털 피킹 시스템, 실내외 대형 주차관리 시스템에 적용가능하며, 유통매장의 IoT 기술 적용을 통한 한 차원 높은 고객 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 장점이 있다.
