Article sorting method and device in warehouse

Abstract

The invention discloses an article sorting method and device in a warehouse, and relates to the technical field of warehouse logistics. The specific implementation mode of the method comprises the steps that one or more sorting tasks are obtained; determining a sorting area corresponding to the to-be-sorted article in the warehouse; wherein the sorting area comprises an unmanned sorting area and / or a manual sorting area; the number of sorting tasks of the to-be-sorted articles in the unmanned sorting area and / or the manual sorting area is determined; and according to the number of the sorting tasks, a sorting instruction is issued, so that the sorting vehicles in the unmanned sorting area and / or the sorting personnel in the manual sorting area sort the to-be-sorted articles according to the sorting instruction. According to the implementation mode, the scheduling mode of sorting can be allocated based on the perspective of the full-warehouse sorting task, so that machine area scheduling and human area scheduling are combined, recheck is performed subsequently, the sorting cost can be greatly reduced, the sorting efficiency and the automation capability are improved, the warehouse logistics efficiency is improved, and then the user satisfaction degree is greatly improved.
