An automatic replenishment system and replenishment method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic replenishing system and a replenishing method, and belongs to the field of tobacco sorting and distribution. The automatic replenishing system comprises a plurality of sorting cache channels which are installed on a sorting line, multiple sets of replenishing devices which are installed on an outlet of the sorting line, a bar-type cigarette horizontal type machine which is correspondingly installed on outlets of the replenishing devices, and a control unit which is used for controlling the whole replenishing system. A standby cigarette bin is arranged on the bar-type cigarette horizontal type machine. By the adoption of the replenishing system and on the basis of the prior art, the sorting cache channels and the standby cigarette bin are added so as to conduct real-time replenishing on the bar-type cigarette horizontal type machine, and therefore the whole replenishing technological process changes from existing order drive into inventory drive. When the sorting cache channels lacks one piece of goods, one piece of goods is asked for a stocking-up system, and therefore the problem that a goods demand between systems is driven unrelated to an order for goods is resolved and the stability of running of a single system is guaranteed. Besides, the standby cigarette bin can conduct failover, so that real-time orders for goods can be sorted quickly and precisely in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic replenishment system and a replenishment method, belonging to the field of tobacco sorting and distribution. Background technique [0002] At present, the main equipment used for tobacco distribution is high-bay warehouse, stocking system and sorting system connected to the stocking system. The sorting system generally consists of multiple sorting subsystems that independently sort orders. Each sorting subsystem includes Replenishment systems, order sorting systems and plastic packaging systems. [0003] The entire sorting and distribution process of tobacco is whole pallet sorting → piece cigarette sorting → carton sorting. After the tobacco enters the distribution center, the whole pallet is stored in the high-bay warehouse first, and then transported by the conveyor according to the order request of the stocking system At the entrance of the stocking system, the whole pallet is sorted. After the cigarette trays...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The entire sorting and distribution process of tobacco is whole pallet sorting → piece cigarette sorting → carton sorting. After the tobacco enters the distribution center, the whole pallet is stored in the high-bay warehouse first, and then transported by the conveyor according to the order request of the stocking system At the entrance of the stocking system, the whole pallet is sorted. After the cigarette trays are de-stacked manually or by machine, they are transported to the stocking lane of the stocking system through conveyors, stackers and other equipment for buffering; Each sorting line requests goods from the stocking system according to the pre-optimized order of the delivery order. The whole process is driven by orders, that is, the cigarette brands, cigarette order and stocking quantity planned to be stocked are calculated according to the sales order of the day, and then the whole The delivery system plans delivery, stocking, and sorting according to the set order plan; the above-mentioned order-driven method has the following main disadvantages: the stocking system needs to optimize data and generate a replenishment plan after all orders are placed on the day. During the replenishment sorting process, real-time replenishment will be carried out in accordance with the order of the replenishment plan, and new orders cannot be inserted during the sorting process, which makes it impossible to achieve real-time order real-time sorting
