An Integrated Scheme for Robot E-procurement

Abstract

E-procurement is an important way to purchase robots in recent years. Robot e-procurement requires efficient matching among buyers and sellers. Based on the characteristics of robot e-procurement, combined with the theories of e-procurement and transaction matching, the method of unidirectionally searching for seller’ supply information is expanded. An integrated robot e-procurement framework including the catalog procurement, the inquiry procurement and the bidding procurement is proposed to achieve bi-directional search and procurement between buyers and sellers. Based on the selection of core attributes and calculation of user satisfaction, the matching method for robot procurement is put forward for users to efficiently match products in accordance with their requirements.
