There is more than one picking unit. At this time, the first picking unit will wait for the other picking units that send the following command, and the first picking unit will meet the other picking units that send the following command. The picking units are picked together. The other picking units that do not meet the predetermined quantity conditions may complete other picking tasks first, for example, the other picking units that only pick up a small amount of the items to be picked may first Other items to be picked other than the items to be picked are picked, so that the disordered state of picking is changed to an ordered state, and some of the picking units are reduced to repeat the picking of the same items to be picked, which is helpful to solve the problem. In the prior art, the picking unit in the picking link repeatedly picks goods, resulting in a technical problem of low picking efficiency.
