Method and device used for determining picking route

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device used for determining a picking route. The method comprises the steps that orders cut off in a preset time period are obtained; an aggregation order is built according to storage areas of product types contained in the orders; a warehouse map is obtained, wherein the warehouse map comprises coordinates of following nodes including the picking table node, the traffic crossing node, the alley crossing node and the virtual storage location node; based on the aggregation order and the warehouse map, the picking route is determined. By means of the method, the aggregation order is built according to the storage areas of the product types, and when conducting order picking according to the aggregation order, the required picking route is short, so that the picking cost of the picker is reduced and the picking efficiency of the picker is improved; the picking route is determined based on the aggregation order and the warehouse map so that it can be determined that the route from which storage locations of products in the aggregation order are traversed is shortest, accordingly the total picking route is short, and the total picking efficiency of the warehouse is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to the field of computer network technology, and in particular to a method and device for determining a picking path. Background technique [0002] Under the condition that the number of pickers is fixed in a flat warehouse, the efficiency of goods sorting greatly depends on how the current order is formed into a collection list and the picker's selection of the picking path for each collection list. [0003] At present, after the picker receives the collection list task at the picking table, he enters the aisle between the shelves to pick up the goods according to a certain route, and puts them into the trolley. [0004] However, the current picking route is designed based on the fact that people and carts can enter the aisle. It does not take into account the location of the storage location in the collection list and the situation that the cart cannot enter the aisle....

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the current picking route is designed based on the fact that people and carts can enter the aisle. It does not take into account the location of the storage location in the collection list and the situation that the cart cannot enter the aisle. It is impossible to determine which aisle to enter for the same storage location. The picking path is shorter, and which picking path is the shortest for different storage locations, so the total picking path is longer, the overall picking efficiency of the warehouse is lower, and the total picking cost of the picker is higher
