[0002] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the layout of an AGV robot warehouse in some embodiments of the related art. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the length and width of the gray grid and the white grid are both 1 meter. Shelves are placed on the gray grid. The shelves are generally divided into 5 layers, and the height of each layer is about 40 cm. Multiple cargo compartments can be set up on one layer. The white grid is the route for the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) to carry the shelves. After receiving the outbound instruction from the system, the AGV transports the shelves to the workstation. The workstation operator completes the goods-to-person picking according to the system prompts. When entering the warehouse, the system stores the goods on the shelves according to the sales volume of SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). The operator at the workstation puts the goods into the corresponding layers and compartments of the shelves according to the system instructions, and the AGV transports the shelves from the workstation to the storage location where the gray grid is located.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 42 may include at least one of steps 421 to 427, wherein:

[0090] Step 421, determining whether the inventory depth of the product is greater than or equal to a predetermined inventory depth.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the inventory depth is equal to the ratio of the total inventory of the product to the average daily sales volume of the product.

[0092] Step 422: When the inventory depth of the product is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth, determine whether the inventory quantity of the product is greater than the safety inventory quantity of the product.

[0093] Step 423, when the inventory depth of the commodity is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth and the inventory quantity of the commodity is greater than the safety inventory quantity of the commodity, the commodity is stored in the human-machine collaborative operation area and the automated guided vehicle operation area at the same time.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step 423, the step of storing the commodity in both the human-machine collaborative operation area and the automated guided transport vehicle operation area may include at least one of step a and step b, wherein:

[0095] Step a: storing the goods in a quantity equal to the safety stock in a dispersed manner on a first predetermined number of shelves in the automated guided vehicle operation area, wherein the first predetermined number is the number of outbound workstations in the entire warehouse.

[0096] Step b: storing the entire shelf of the commodity with a first remaining quantity in the human-machine collaborative operation area, wherein the first remaining quantity is the difference between the inventory of the commodity and the safety inventory of the commodity.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step b may include at least one of steps b1 to b2, wherein:

[0098] Step b1, determining whether the second remaining quantity is greater than or equal to the first remaining quantity, wherein the second remaining quantity is the quantity of the commodity that can be stored in the remaining storage space of the human-machine collaborative operation area.

[0099] Step b2: When the second remaining quantity is greater than or equal to the first remaining quantity, all the goods of the first remaining quantity are stored on the entire shelf in the human-machine collaborative operation area.

[0100] Step b3, when the second remaining quantity is less than the first remaining quantity, the entire shelf of the goods with the second remaining quantity is stored in the human-machine collaborative operation area, and the entire shelf of the goods with the third remaining quantity is stored in the automatic guided transport vehicle operation area, wherein the third remaining quantity is the difference between the first remaining quantity and the second remaining quantity.

[0101] Step 424, when the inventory depth of the goods is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth, and the inventory quantity of the goods is less than or equal to the safety stock quantity of the goods, the goods equal to the safety stock quantity are dispersedly stored on a first predetermined number of shelves in the automatic guided vehicle operation area, wherein the first predetermined number is the number of outbound workstations in the entire warehouse.

[0102] Step 425: When the inventory depth of the commodity is less than the predetermined inventory depth, determine whether the inventory quantity of the commodity is greater than the safety inventory quantity of the commodity.

[0103] Step 426, when the inventory depth of the commodity is less than the predetermined inventory depth and the inventory quantity of the commodity is greater than the safety stock quantity of the commodity, the commodity in quantity equal to the safety stock quantity is dispersedly stored on a first predetermined number of shelves in the automatic guided transport vehicle operation area, wherein the first predetermined number is the number of outbound workstations in the entire warehouse; and the entire shelves of the commodity in a first remaining quantity are stored in the automatic guided transport vehicle operation area, wherein the first remaining quantity is the difference between the inventory quantity of the commodity and the safety stock quantity of the commodity.

[0104] Step 427, when the inventory depth of the goods is less than the predetermined inventory depth and the inventory quantity of the goods is less than or equal to the safety stock quantity of the goods, the goods equal to the safety stock quantity are dispersedly stored on a first predetermined number of shelves in the automatic guided vehicle operation area, where the first predetermined number is the number of outbound workstations in the entire warehouse.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step a, step 424, step 426 and step 427, the step of dispersing and storing the goods in a quantity equal to the safety stock on a first predetermined number of shelves in the operating area of ​​the automated guided vehicle may include: storing a third predetermined quantity of the goods on the shelves before the second predetermined number of shelves in the first predetermined number of shelves, wherein the second predetermined quantity is equal to the first predetermined quantity minus 1, and the third predetermined quantity is the quotient of the safety stock and the second predetermined quantity rounded up; storing a fourth predetermined quantity of the goods on the last shelf in the first predetermined number of shelves, wherein the fourth predetermined quantity is the difference between the safety stock and the fifth predetermined quantity, and the fifth predetermined quantity is the product of the second predetermined quantity and the third predetermined quantity.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 42 may include at least one of steps 42a to 42c, wherein:

[0107] Step 42a, SKUs with large inventory depth are stored in Area E, and the same SKU is stored on concentrated shelves as much as possible. If a SKU with large inventory depth cannot be stored in Area E, it can be temporarily stored in Area F; SKUs with small inventory depth are stored on different shelves in Area F according to a certain number of dispersed copies (1 SKU on one shelf is counted as 1 copy), and the safety stock of commodity A is defined as Qy (the average sales volume of commodity A for Y days is the safety stock of A, and Y can be the weighted average of multiple Y cycles). If the inventory depth of commodity A is T, the total inventory is Qx, and the number of outbound workstations in the whole warehouse is K, then commodity A has K copies of inventory in Area F and is dispersed to K shelves for storage (to meet the concurrent operation of orders for commodity A at K workstations at the same time), and then it is determined whether to store it in Area E based on the inventory depth.

[0108] Step 42b, when T>=N (N is a configurable parameter value, and the value exceeding N is defined as a large inventory depth), commodity A is a SKU with a large inventory depth. When Qx>Qy, commodity A is stored in both areas E and F. The number of pieces placed on each of the first (K-1) shelves in area F is Qyk=Qy / K (the result is rounded up), and the Kth shelf stores Qy-Qyk*(K-1) pieces. The remaining Qx-Qy are all stored in area E by whole shelves. If area E is full, they are continued to be stored in area F by whole shelves. The part exceeding the safety stock does not need to be stored in a dispersed manner. When Qx<=Qy, commodity A is all stored in area F. The number of pieces placed on each of the first (K-1) shelves is Qyk=Qx / K (the result is rounded up), and the Kth shelf stores Qx-Qyk*(K-1) pieces.

[0109] Step 42c, when T < N (N is a configurable parameter value, and values exceeding N are defined as large inventory depth), then Product A is an SKU with small inventory depth and is all stored in Area F. When Qx > Qy, the number of pieces placed on each of the first (K - 1) shelves is Qyk = Qy / K (rounded up), and the Kth shelf stores Qy - Qyk * (K - 1) pieces. The remaining Qx - Qy is all stored in Area F on full shelves continuously; when Qx <= Qy, the number of pieces placed on each of the first (K - 1) shelves is Qyk = Qx / K (rounded up), and the Kth shelf stores Qx - Qyk * (K - 1) pieces.

[0110] Step 43, determine whether the current order is a first - type order or a second - type order; in the case where the current order is a first - type order or a second - type order, instruct the operator to complete the pick - up of goods - to - person in the human - machine collaborative operation area.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first - type order may be a popular product order.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second - type order may be a bulk order.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first - type order is an order where EN = 1 and EQ >= 1, and the daily average order volume of the corresponding SKU is relatively large, where EN is the number of SKU types included in an order; EQ is the total quantity of goods requested in an order, that is, the sum of the quantity of goods requested for each SKU in the order.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in Step 43, the determination of whether the current order is a first - type order or a second - type order may include at least one of Step 431 and Step 432, where:

[0115] Step 431, in the case where the number of product types included in an order is 1, the total quantity of goods requested in an order is greater than or equal to 1, the inventory depth of the corresponding product in the order is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth, and the corresponding product in the order is in stock in the human - machine collaborative operation area, determine the order as a first - type order.

[0116] Step 432, in the case where the quantity of goods requested for a product in an order is greater than the predetermined quantity of goods requested, the inventory depth of the corresponding product in the order is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth, and the corresponding product in the order is in stock in the human - machine collaborative operation area, determine the order as a second - type order.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 43 may include: when the human-machine collaborative mode of production is turned on, the system will judge the order with EN=1 and EQ>=1 and the inventory depth T>=N of the corresponding SKU in the order, and the SKU is in stock in area E as a first type of order, and generate an independent manual picking task; for the second type of order, in which the number of SKU required items is>=Q (Q is the number of items required for a single SKU, which is a configurable parameter) and the inventory depth T>=N of the SKU and the SKU is in stock in area E, such a second type of order can also generate an independent manual picking task, and the operator will receive the task and complete the picking operation in the double arrow channel of area E.

[0118] Step 44, using an automated guided vehicle to complete replenishment between the human-machine collaborative operation area and the automated guided vehicle operation area.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 44 may include at least one of step 441 and step 442, wherein:

[0120] Step 441, when the inventory depth of a commodity is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth, the inventory of the commodity in the automated guided transport vehicle operation area is lower than the safety stock of the commodity, and the commodity is in stock in the human-machine collaborative operation area, the commodity is replenished from the human-machine collaborative operation area to the automated guided transport vehicle operation area.

[0121] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in step 441, the step of replenishing the merchandise from the human-machine collaborative operation area to the automated guided transport vehicle operation area may include: dispersing the replenishment of the merchandise in an amount equal to the safety stock to a first predetermined number of shelves in the automated guided transport vehicle operation area.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 441 may include: when the inventory of goods in area F is lower than the safety stock, the system will automatically assign an AGV to transport shelves from area E to the workstation, and at the same time dispatch appropriate shelves from area F, move goods from the shelves transported from area E to the shelves dispatched from area F, and complete the replenishment of area F.

[0123] Step 442, when the inventory depth of a commodity is greater than or equal to the predetermined inventory depth, the inventory of the commodity in the automated guided transport vehicle operation area is greater than the safety inventory of the commodity, there are whole shelves of the commodity stored in the automated guided transport vehicle operation area, and the shelves with the commodity in the human-machine collaborative operation area are picked empty, the whole shelves storing the commodity are transported from the automated guided transport vehicle operation area to the human-machine collaborative operation area for replenishment.
