Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for distributing cells of a sorting device. The method comprises following steps: associating the symbol of a sorting device in a database with the symbol of a first container of a first article of a stored purchase order, wherein the purchase order comprises a second article stored in a second container; before the sorting device is associated with thesecond container, receiving the symbol of the first article; in the database, using the symbol of the first article to determine whether any one of the cells of the sorting device is associated with the purchase order or not; when no cell of the sorting device is associated with the purchase order, associating the symbol of the cells of the sorting device with the symbol of the purchase order; andsending a first signal indicating that the first article is placed in the cells to a computer associated with a worker.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to computerized systems and methods for cell allocation of sorting devices. In particular, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an inventive and non-traditional system involving cell allocation of sorting devices for fast e-commerce order fulfillment. Background technique [0002] Online shopping is very popular nowadays. Electronic commerce (E-commerce) merchants strive to improve the user experience by minimizing the time period for order fulfillment, from the time an order is placed until the order's package is delivered to the buyer.
