[0057] To facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, first, a method for task processing disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced in detail. The execution subject of the method for task processing provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is generally a computer device with certain computing capabilities. The computer device includes, for example: a terminal device, a server, or other processing devices. The terminal device can be a user equipment (UE), a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld device, a computing device, a wearable device, etc. In some possible implementation manners, the method for task processing can be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in a memory.

[0058] To facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, first, a method for task processing disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced in detail.

[0059] Embodiment 1

[0060] See Figure 1 As shown, it is a flowchart of the method for task processing provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The method includes steps S101 to S103, where:

[0061] S101, obtain order information corresponding to the order task.

[0062] Here, each generated order task can be obtained in real time from the order management system. Each order task includes corresponding order information, and the order information includes at least one type of goods to be operated. Each type of goods to be operated is stored on the corresponding pick-up shelf in the storage area. Among them, the goods to be operated can be goods to be picked, goods to be shelved, etc.

[0063] S102. According to the order information, generate corresponding multiple handling tasks for the order task; each handling task is associated with a storage location information. This storage location information is the storage location of the goods to be operated corresponding to this handling task.

[0064] Here, after obtaining the order information, corresponding multiple handling tasks for the order task can be generated according to the order information, and each handling task is associated with a storage location information.

[0065] In an optional implementation manner, generating corresponding multiple handling tasks for the order task according to the order information may include:

[0066] Method 1: Generate corresponding multiple handling tasks for the order task according to the storage location corresponding to each type of goods to be operated included in the order information.

[0067] Method 2: Generate corresponding multiple handling tasks for the order task according to the storage location corresponding to each type of goods to be operated included in the order information and the required quantity of the goods to be operated.

[0068] Here, in Method 1, corresponding multiple handling tasks for the order task can be generated according to the storage location corresponding to the goods to be operated. For example, the order information includes goods to be operated A, goods to be operated B, and goods to be operated C. The goods to be operated A corresponds to the storage location information A, the goods to be operated B corresponds to the storage location information B, and the goods to be operated C corresponds to the storage location information C. Therefore, 3 corresponding handling tasks can be generated according to this order information, that is, the first handling task corresponding to the goods to be operated A, the second handling task corresponding to the goods to be operated B, and the third handling task corresponding to the goods to be operated C.

[0069] In the second method, multiple order tasks can be generated according to the storage location of the goods to be operated and the required quantity of the goods to be operated. For example, the order information includes goods A to be operated, goods B to be operated, and goods C to be operated. The storage location information corresponding to goods A to be operated is A, the storage location information corresponding to goods B to be operated is B, and the storage location information corresponding to goods C to be operated is C. The required quantity corresponding to goods A to be operated is two pallets, the required quantity corresponding to goods B to be operated is one pallet, and the required quantity corresponding to goods C to be operated is 0.5 pallet. The handling equipment can carry one pallet of goods each time. Therefore, 4 corresponding handling tasks can be generated according to the order information, that is, the first handling task and the second handling task corresponding to goods A to be operated, the third handling task corresponding to goods B to be operated, and the fourth handling task corresponding to goods C to be operated. Specifically, the first handling task and the second handling task are respectively to carry one pallet of goods from the storage location corresponding to goods A to be operated, the third handling task is to carry one pallet of goods from the storage location corresponding to goods B to be operated, and the fourth handling task is to carry one pallet of goods from the storage location corresponding to goods C to be operated.

[0070] S103. Assign a corresponding target handling equipment to each handling task, and control each target handling equipment to execute the handling task according to the storage location information associated with the corresponding handling task.

[0071] Here, after multiple handling tasks are generated, a corresponding target handling equipment can be assigned to each handling task, and each target handling equipment can be controlled to execute the handling task according to the storage location information associated with the corresponding handling task. Among them, the handling equipment can be a lifting robot, a forklift, etc.

[0072] In an alternative implementation, assigning a corresponding target handling equipment to each handling task may include:

[0073] Based on the handling distance between the current position of each handling equipment among multiple handling equipments and the storage location information associated with each handling task, assign a corresponding target handling equipment to each handling task from multiple handling equipments; and / or,

[0074] Based on the number of unexecuted tasks corresponding to each handling equipment among multiple handling equipments and the set threshold of the number of tasks that can be undertaken, assign a corresponding target handling equipment to each handling task from multiple handling equipments.

[0075] Here, the target handling equipment can be determined based on the handling distance between the handling equipment and the storage location information. Exemplarily, for handling task A, the handling distance between the current position of each handling equipment among multiple handling equipments and the storage location information associated with this handling task A can be determined, and the handling equipment with a relatively short handling distance can be selected and determined as the target handling equipment corresponding to this handling task A.

[0076] Based on the number of unexecuted tasks corresponding to each handling device in the handling device and the set task quantity threshold, a corresponding target handling device can also be assigned to each handling device. Exemplarily, if multiple handling devices include handling device A, handling device B, and handling device C, the task quantity threshold is 5, the number of unexecuted tasks in handling device A is 3, the number of unexecuted tasks in handling device B is 4, and the number of unexecuted tasks in handling device C is 5, then it is determined that handling device A and handling device B can be the target handling devices for the corresponding handling tasks.

[0077] In addition, based on the current position of each handling device in the multiple handling devices, the handling distance between the storage location information associated with each handling task, and the number of unexecuted tasks corresponding to each handling device, the target handling device corresponding to each handling task can be determined.

[0078] Exemplarily, for handling task A, if multiple handling devices include handling device A, handling device B, and handling device C, the task quantity threshold is 5, the number of unexecuted tasks in handling device A is 3, the number of unexecuted tasks in handling device B is 4, and the number of unexecuted tasks in handling device C is 5, then handling device A and handling device B are determined as candidate handling devices. The first handling distance between handling device A and the storage location information associated with handling task A and the second handling distance between handling device B and the storage location information associated with handling task A are determined. If the second handling distance is less than the first handling distance, then handling device B is determined as the target handling device corresponding to handling task A.

[0079] As an optional implementation manner, controlling each target handling device to execute the handling task according to the storage location information associated with the corresponding handling task may include:

[0080] 1. When there are other handling tasks to be executed in addition to the handling task in the target handling device, based on the task levels and / or receiving times of each handling task in the other handling tasks to be executed and the handling task, determine the execution order of the other handling tasks to be executed and the handling task;

[0081] 2. Control the target handling device to execute the handling task and the other handling tasks to be executed according to the determined execution order.

[0082] Here, when there are other to-be-executed handling tasks in the target handling device in addition to the handling task, the execution order of the handling tasks can be determined for the target handling device. In specific implementation, the execution order of the handling tasks can be determined according to the handling level of each handling task. For example, if the target handling device includes handling task A, other to-be-executed handling tasks B, and other to-be-executed handling tasks C, the task level corresponding to handling task A is level one, the task level corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task B is level two, and the task level corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task C is level three, then the determined execution order can be handling task A, other to-be-executed handling task B, and other to-be-executed handling task C.

[0083] Among them, the task level corresponding to each handling task can be determined according to the level corresponding to the order task. For example, if the level corresponding to order task A is level one, then the task levels of multiple handling tasks corresponding to order task A are determined to be level one. Or, if order A is an urgent order, the level of order task A corresponding to order A is level one, then the task levels of multiple handling tasks corresponding to order task A are determined to be level one.

[0084] In specific implementation, the execution order of the handling tasks can also be determined according to the receiving time of each handling task. For example, if the target handling device includes handling task A, other to-be-executed handling tasks B, and other to-be-executed handling tasks C, the receiving time corresponding to handling task A is 10:00, the receiving time corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task B is 9:55, and the task level corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task C is 9:50, then the determined execution order can be other to-be-executed handling task C, other to-be-executed handling task B, and handling task A.

[0085] In specific implementation, the execution order of the handling tasks can also be determined based on the task level and receiving time of each handling task. Specifically, sorting can be first performed according to the task level, and when the task levels are the same, sorting can be performed according to the receiving time.

[0086] For example, if the target handling device includes handling task A, other to-be-executed handling tasks B, other to-be-executed handling tasks C, and other to-be-executed handling tasks D, the task level corresponding to handling task A is level one and the receiving time is 10:00, the task level corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task B is level two and the receiving time is 9:45, the task level corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task C is level three and the receiving time is 9:50, and the task level corresponding to other to-be-executed handling task D is level one and the receiving time is 9:50; therefore, the determined execution order can be other to-be-executed handling task D, handling task A, other to-be-executed handling task B, and other to-be-executed handling task C.

[0087] Among them, there are various ways to determine the handling tasks, and only exemplary descriptions are provided here.

[0088] In an alternative embodiment, before obtaining the order information, the method may further include:

[0089] Step 1: Obtain historical order information.

[0090] Step 2: Based on the historical order information, determine the degree of association between the multiple stored goods.

[0091] Step 3: Based on the degree of association between the multiple goods, the distance between different shelves, and the set storage conditions, determine the storage location of the storage shelf corresponding to each good, and control the handling device to move each good to the corresponding storage location, where the set storage conditions include: multiple goods with a high degree of association are placed on different shelves, and / or, the mapping relationship between the distance between the shelves and the degree of association.

[0092] Here, before obtaining the order information, the corresponding storage location can be determined for each good, and the handling device can be controlled to move each good to the corresponding storage location.

[0093] In specific implementation, the historical order information within the target time period of the goods can be used. For example, the historical order information within the past month can be obtained. Based on the historical order information, the degree of association between the multiple stored goods can be determined, and this degree of association represents the probability that the multiple goods appear in one order information.

[0094] Furthermore, based on the degree of association between the multiple goods, the distance between different shelves, and the set storage conditions, the storage location of the storage shelf corresponding to each good can be determined. Among them, the set storage conditions include that multiple goods with a high degree of association are placed on different shelves, and / or, the mapping relationship between the distance between the shelves and the degree of association.

[0095] Generally, in order to store more goods in the goods storage area, the aisles between the shelves are set relatively narrow, and only one handling device can enter the aisle to perform the handling task. That is, after the first handling device performs the handling task in the aisle, the second handling device needs to wait at the aisle entrance. After the first handling device exits the aisle, the second handling device can enter the aisle to perform the handling task.

[0096] Therefore, the waiting time of the handling equipment can be reduced. Multiple goods with a high degree of association can be placed on different shelves. For example, if the degree of association between Goods 1 and Goods 2 is high, Goods 1 can be stored on the first shelf, and Goods 2 can be stored on the second shelf. Among them, the first shelf and the second shelf are located in different aisles, so that the handling equipment 1 corresponding to the first shelf and the handling equipment 2 corresponding to the second shelf can simultaneously execute the handling tasks for the first shelf and the second shelf, reducing the waiting time of the handling equipment and improving the efficiency of the handling equipment in executing the handling tasks.

[0097] See Figure 2 As shown, the figure shows multiple shelves set in the goods storage area. For example, for Storage Shelf 1 21, the distances between Storage Shelf 2 22 and Storage Shelf 3 23 and Storage Shelf 1 21 are the first distance respectively, and the distances between Storage Shelf 4 24 and Storage Shelf 5 25 and Storage Shelf 1 21 are the second distance respectively. The mapping relationship set can be: the first distance corresponds to the degree of association 1, and the second distance corresponds to the degree of association 2. That is, if the degree of association between Goods A and Goods B is the degree of association 1, then Goods A can be stored on Storage Shelf 1 21, and Goods B can be stored on Storage Shelf 2 22, or Goods B can also be stored on Storage Shelf 3 23; if the degree of association between Goods A and Goods C is the degree of association 2, then Goods A can be stored on Storage Shelf 1 21, and Goods C can be stored on Storage Shelf 4 24, or Goods C can also be stored on Storage Shelf 5 25.

[0098] Furthermore, after determining the corresponding storage shelf for each good, the handling equipment can be controlled to move each good to the corresponding storage location.

[0099] In an optional implementation manner, before obtaining the order information, the method further includes:

[0100] Step 1: Set multiple storage areas.

[0101] Step 2: For each type of good, select multiple target areas from the set multiple storage areas, determine a storage location for the good in each target area respectively, and control the handling equipment to move the good to the corresponding multiple storage locations.

[0102] Considering that when the demand for goods in an order is large, multiple handling tasks need to be generated for the goods. In order to enable the target handling device to execute multiple handling tasks corresponding to the goods simultaneously and improve the execution efficiency of the handling tasks, multiple storage areas can be set in the goods storage area. For each type of goods, multiple target areas are selected from the set multiple storage areas, and a storage location is determined for the goods in each target area respectively. The handling device is controlled to transport the goods to the corresponding multiple storage locations, so that multiple subsequent target handling devices can simultaneously transport the goods to be operated from multiple storage locations.

[0103] See Figure 3 As shown, 4 storage areas can be set in the goods storage area, and multiple storage shelves 30 are set in each storage area. For goods A, storage area one 31 and storage area two 32 can be determined as target areas, and a storage location is determined for goods A in storage area one 31 and storage area two 32 respectively. Finally, the handling device is controlled to transport the goods to the corresponding multiple storage locations.

[0104] In the above embodiment, after obtaining the order information corresponding to the order task, multiple handling tasks corresponding to the order task can be generated, a corresponding target handling device is assigned to each handling task, and each target handling device is controlled to execute the handling task according to the storage location information associated with the corresponding handling task, so as to realize multiple handling devices to complete an order task simultaneously, reduce the completion time of the order task, and improve the execution efficiency of the order task.

[0105] Those skilled in the art can understand that in the above method of the specific embodiment, the writing order of each step does not mean a strict execution order and does not constitute any limitation to the implementation process. The specific execution order of each step should be determined according to its function and possible internal logic.

[0106] Based on the same inventive concept, an apparatus for task processing corresponding to the method for task processing is also provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Since the principle of solving problems by the apparatus in the embodiments of the present disclosure is similar to that of the above method for task processing in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation of the apparatus can refer to the implementation of the method, and the repeated parts will not be described again.
