Its efficiency and accuracy are directly related to the operating efficiency and customer satisfaction of the entire logistics system. Traditional cargo sorting methods mainly rely on manual identification and allocation, which is not only labor-intensive and error-prone, but also difficult to cope with the growing order volume and complex and changing sorting needs. Especially in large storage centers, there are many types of goods and scattered storage locations. How to quickly and accurately assign sorting tasks to suitable pickers has become a key factor restricting the improvement of sorting efficiency.

[0003] Existing sorting management methods often adopt simple polling or random allocation methods, ignoring factors such as the current workload of the pickers and the relative distance to the goods storage location, resulting in uneven distribution of sorting tasks. Some pickers are overburdened with work, while others are relatively idle, affecting the overall sorting efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] The cargo sorting management method based on the Internet of Things provided by the embodiment of the present invention is executed by a computer device, and accordingly, the cargo sorting management system based on the Internet of Things runs in the computer device.

[0034] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The execution subject may be a cargo sorting management system based on the Internet of Things. According to different requirements, the order of the steps in the flowchart may be changed, and some may be omitted.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 110, after receiving the goods sorting order, determining the logical partition to which the goods to be sorted in the goods sorting order belong according to the goods sorting order; Step 120, obtaining the order-accepting status priorities of all pickers. The fewer the picking tasks to be completed by the picker, the higher the corresponding order-accepting status priority. The picker with the highest order-accepting status priority is listed as the candidate target executor; Step 130, obtaining the one-way distances of all candidate target executors to the storage location of the goods to be sorted. The shorter the one-way distance, the higher the corresponding distance level. The candidate target executor with the highest distance level is listed as the first target executor, and the first target executor executes the goods sorting order.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the cargo sorting management method based on the Internet of Things provided by the present invention is further described below based on the principle of the cargo sorting management method based on the Internet of Things provided by the present invention and in combination with the process of managing cargo sorting based on the Internet of Things in the embodiment.

[0037] Specifically, the method for calculating the amount of sorting tasks to be completed by the picker includes: S121. Obtain the current task status of all pickers; S122. If there are pickers whose task status is empty, such pickers are listed as the first target executors; S123. If there is no picker whose task status is empty, obtain the goods sorting order currently executed by each picker; S124, obtaining the target sorting quantity in the goods sorting order, and the sorting quantity completed by the picker corresponding to the goods sorting order; S125. Calculate the amount of sorting tasks to be completed based on the target picking amount and the completed sorting amount.

[0038] For the convenience of management, each cargo is provided with a cargo label. When performing the sorting task, the picker uploads the cargo information in the cargo label through the barcode reader, and verifies the cargo information with the cargo information in the executed cargo sorting order. After the verification is accurate, the completed sorting quantity is accumulated by one.

[0039] Among them, the cargo information includes cargo ID, cargo name, category, batch, size and storage location information. The storage location information is editable information and will be deleted when the cargo is shipped out of the warehouse.

[0040] In addition, the method of obtaining the one-way distance of all candidate target executors to the storage location of the goods to be sorted includes: S131, obtaining storage location information of the goods to be sorted in the corresponding logical partition according to the goods sorting order; S132, obtaining the current location information of each candidate target executor; S133. Calculate the one-way distance of the candidate target executor to the storage location of the goods to be sorted according to the storage location information and the current location information.

[0041] In order to manage the pickers, each picker wears an identity tag, which contains the name, work number, location information and the name of the logical partition. The location information of the picker is obtained through the positioning subtag in the identity tag.

[0042] Specifically, each picker faces a priority for each task. Indicates that, i is the picker number, j is the task number, , C is the number of picking orders that are being carried out and not completed by the pickers in the current wave, The smaller the value of , the higher the priority of the picker, and the picker is listed as the candidate target executor of this task.

[0043] When the first picking task is issued, for example , , Then, facing Task 1, the number of picking orders being carried out and not completed by other personnel such as Picker No. 1, Picker No. 2, Picker No. 3, etc. is 0. Everyone has the highest priority facing Task 1. All pickers have the same starting point and the one-way distance to the storage place for sorted goods is the same. The one-way distance level It is also consistent. At this time, the task allocation will be issued in order from small to large according to the picker's number.

[0044] Distance level The specific determination process is as follows: The picking area is equipped with a unified picking entrance and collection area, and the picked goods are stored in the collection area. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the picking area, the picking area personnel walk in the same direction, and the picking area channel is set in an "S" shape, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0045] When task j+1 is issued, the total distance of this task It is certain. It is the total distance that the picker travels from the entrance, picks all the goods in the task, places the goods in the collection area and returns to the entrance. This data can be obtained by counting. The picker only needs to pick according to the location instructions.

[0046] is the total distance that needs to be traveled for the unfinished task j.

[0047] The distance traveled to complete task j.

[0048] Distance level calculation method: ; The smaller the value of , the higher the priority of the picker, and the picker is listed as the first target executor of task j+1.

[0049] Since there is uncertainty in the issuance of tasks, two common situations are taken.

[0050] (1) Case 1: Task 3 is assigned before Task 1 and Task 2 start.

[0051] Assume that there are only two pickers in this picking area and there are three picking tasks. When picker No. 1 and picker No. 2 are performing their own tasks, the third picking task is assigned. The picking positions corresponding to the three picking tasks are distributed as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it is necessary to compare the one-way distance level .

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the total distance that picker No. 1 needs to travel for the unfinished task 1 in situation 1 is: .

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the total distance that the second picker needs to travel for the unfinished task 2 in situation 1 is: .

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the total distance that needs to be covered for the unfinished task 3 is: .

[0055] In case 1, the distance level of picker No. 1 facing task 3 is: .

[0056] In case 1, the distance level of picker No. 2 facing task 3 is: .

[0057] Compare the distance levels of Picker 1 and Picker 2 in Situation 1 when facing Task 3: .

[0058] In case 1, the distance level value of picker No. 2 when facing task 3 is smaller, which means that picker No. 2 has a higher priority and task 3 will be assigned to picker No. 2 first.

[0059] (2) Case 2: Task 3 is assigned while Task 1 and Task 2 are in progress.

[0060] Continuing with the above task situation, if Task 3 is issued, Task 1 is picking the second cargo and Task 2 is picking the first cargo.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown in Figure 2, the distance traveled by picker No. 1 to complete task 1 in situation 2 is: .

[0062] In situation 2, the distance level of picker No. 1 facing task 3 is: .

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the distance traveled by the second picker in situation 2 to complete task 2 is: .

[0064] In situation 2, the distance level of picker No. 2 facing task 3 is: .

[0065] Compare the distance levels of Picker 1 and Picker 2 in Case 2 when facing Task 3: .

[0066] In case 2, the distance level value of picker No. 2 when facing task 3 is smaller, which means that picker No. 2 has a higher priority and task 3 will be assigned to picker No. 2 first.

[0067] In addition, when a picker has the highest priority and there is only one picker, this picker is determined as the first target executor of this task, and the next task allocation priority of all pickers changes as follows: The selection personnel selected as the first target executor: ; Other selectors who were not selected as the first target executors: .

[0068] When the priority levels of the pickers are the same, obtain the one-way distance level of all candidate target executors to the storage location of the goods to be sorted , The smaller the value, the higher the priority of the picker, and the picker is listed as the first target executor of this task.

[0069] When the priorities of each picker are faced with each task , one-way distance level , when both priorities are the same, compare the number of picking orders completed by the pickers , preferred Small pickers assign tasks to them; if If the values ​​of are also the same, the candidates for the first target candidate will be assigned in order from largest to smallest according to the picking personnel number.
