Capacity balance processing method and device for multi-layer warehouse

Abstract

The invention discloses a capacity balance processing method and device for a multi-layer warehouse. The method comprises the following steps of carrying out pre-processing, based on the order quantity of the production wave number corresponding to each layer of warehouse and the commodity processing capability of each layer of warehouse, determining a capacity insufficient layer warehouse and a capacity sufficient layer warehouse in the multi-layer warehouses; and determining the commodity type coincidence degree between the commodities in the unprocessed order corresponding to the low-capacity layer warehouse and the unprocessed commodities corresponding to the high-capacity layer warehouse, and allocating the commodities in the unprocessed order to other high-capacity layer warehouses based on the commodity type coincidence degree. The invention discloses a capacity balance processing method and device for a multi-layer warehouse. The method can automatically detect whether there are too many orders in a certain layer of warehouse or not, automatically calculate and select the orders and distribute the orders to other layers of warehouses with sufficient capacity, can balance the capacity of each layer of warehouse, and reduces the condition that the orders cannot be delivered in time in waves, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of commodities, and improving the userexperience.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of logistics warehousing, in particular to a production capacity balancing processing method and device for multi-storey warehouses. Background technique [0002] The goods in the multi-storey automated (unmanned) warehouse are stored in specific containers (for example, stored in turnover boxes or on pallets), sent to the picking workstation through a conveyor line or AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle), and then passed through The picking manipulator picks and completes the order out of the warehouse. Each floor of the multi-storey warehouse has a number of picking workstations (including robotic arms, etc.), which can pick out orders, but the amount of orders processed on each floor may not match the capacity of the workstations on this floor. In addition, if a certain floor If any manipulator fails, it may lead to insufficient production capacity, and the excess orders need to be allocated to other layers fo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Each floor of the multi-storey warehouse has a number of picking workstations (including robotic arms, etc.), which can pick out orders, but the amount of orders processed on each floor may not match the capacity of the workstations on this floor. In addition, if a certain floor If the manipulator fails, it may lead to insufficient production capacity, and the excess orders need to be allocated to other layers for production

Orders in a multi-layer warehouse are produced in waves. If the order volume of a certain wave on a certain layer exceeds the performance of the robot, some orders will not be delivered in time before the order cut-off time, and pending orders will occur.

At present, it is manually and empirically judged whether there is insufficient production capacity in a warehouse on a certain floor, and in the case of insufficient production capacity in a warehouse on a certain floor, some orders are manually selected through experience and assigned to other floors for production, with a low degree of automation. And the efficiency of outbound delivery is not high, which affects customer experience
