[0024] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all the structures.

[0025] Figure 1 is a flow diagram of a task processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which can be executed by a task processing device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The device can be realized in the form of software and / or hardware. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated in an electronic device, such as a computer or a server, which can have a web-based system manager (WMS). The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated in the electronic device as an example, and the electronic device can refer to Figure 1 , the method can specifically include the following steps:

[0026] In step 101, task information of an item delivery task is acquired, and the task information includes identification information and a delivery quantity of a target item to be delivered.

[0027] Generally, the main execution flow of the warehouse-out task includes five nodes: warehouse-out order -> picking -> review -> packing -> delivery. The method provided by the embodiment of the present application is mainly applied to the picking node. By way of example, the task information of the warehouse-out task of the goods can be obtained from the warehouse-out order. The warehouse-out order can be a 2B order, and the customer (consumer) of the 2B order is an enterprise. A single order contains a large number of goods. The target goods to be warehoused can be clothing, electronic products, cosmetics, food, beverages, home furnishings, etc. The target goods to be warehoused can include one or more types. When the target goods include multiple types, the warehouse-out quantity of different types of target goods can be the same or different, depending on the actual situation. The identification information of the target goods can be the name, code, Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), etc. of the target goods. The warehouse-out quantity can be, for example, x pieces, x boxes, x units, etc.

[0028] In step 102, the specification information of the target goods is obtained according to the identification information of the target goods, and the picking quantity of the target goods in at least two dimensions is determined according to the specification information and the warehouse-out quantity.

[0029] By way of example, the specification information can refer to packaging specification information. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to more accurately create a picking task, multiple levels of specifications can be set for a type of target goods in each dimension. The dimensions in the embodiment of the present application refer to dimensions used to measure the quantity of the target goods. The at least two dimensions can be, for example, the quantity dimension, the volume dimension, the weight dimension, etc. The embodiment of the present application will be described by taking the at least two dimensions as an example, including the quantity dimension and the volume dimension. For example, when the target goods are milk powder, the specifications in the quantity dimension can be set as barrels (first-level specifications) and boxes (second-level specifications), for example, one box of milk powder includes 6 barrels. Correspondingly, the specifications in the volume dimension can be set as the volume of one barrel of milk powder (first-level specification) and the volume of one box of milk powder (second-level specification). For another example, when the target goods are mineral water, the specifications in the quantity dimension can be set as bottles (first-level specifications) and cases (second-level specifications), for example, one case of mineral water includes 12 bottles. Correspondingly, the specifications in the volume dimension can be set as the volume of one bottle of mineral water (first-level specification) and the volume of one case of mineral water (second-level specification).

[0030] By way of example, the picking quantity of the target goods in at least two dimensions can be calculated according to the specification information of the target goods and the warehouse-out quantity. For example, when the target goods are milk powder and the warehouse-out quantity is 8 barrels, and 6 barrels of milk powder are packaged into one box, the picking quantity (i.e., the picking quantity) of the milk powder in the quantity dimension can be 8 barrels, and the picking quantity (i.e., the picking volume) of the milk powder in the volume dimension can be the volume of one box of milk powder plus the volume of 2 barrels of milk powder. For another example, when the target goods are mineral water and the warehouse-out quantity is 10 cases, the picking quantity (i.e., the picking quantity) of the mineral water in the quantity dimension can be 10 cases, and the picking quantity (i.e., the picking volume) of the mineral water in the volume dimension can be the sum of the volumes of 10 cases of mineral water.

[0031] Step 103, creating a picking task according to the picking quantity of the target item in the at least two dimensions and the picking quantity threshold of the picking container in the at least two dimensions, and configuring the picking container for the picking task.

[0032] For example, the picking container is a tool used for picking, such as a picking frame, a picking box, etc., which can be placed on a forklift, a picking trolley, a conveyor belt for picking, and is restricted by the warehouse system (the picking container needs to cooperate with the vehicle, gantry, conveyor belt, etc. in the warehouse to operate), and in general, a warehouse will only configure multiple picking containers of one specification, i.e. the picking capacity of these picking containers is the same.

[0033] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, when creating a picking task, the picking quantity limit of the picking container in the at least two dimensions can be considered, so that one picking container can complete a picking task without the help of a temporary container, i.e. the picking quantity in at least two dimensions of the picking task is preferably not more than the picking quantity threshold of the corresponding dimension.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the picking quantity in at least two dimensions can include the picking quantity and the picking volume, and the picking quantity threshold in at least two dimensions can include the picking quantity threshold and the picking volume threshold, the picking quantity threshold is the upper limit of the number of items that the picking container can hold, and the picking volume threshold is the upper limit of the volume of items that the picking container can hold, which can be obtained by actually measuring the picking container in practical application. Specifically, for example, 4 picking containers are needed from the picking quantity, and 5 picking containers are needed from the picking volume, then 5 picking tasks can be finally created, and 5 picking containers are used to execute the 5 picking tasks, so that the picking quantity in each picking task does not exceed the limit of the picking container in quantity and volume, thereby avoiding the use of temporary containers.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the specification information of the target item can be obtained through the identification information of the target item, the picking quantity of the target item in at least two dimensions is determined according to the specification information of the target item and the quantity of the target item, and the picking task is created and the picking container is configured according to the picking quantity of the target item in at least two dimensions and the picking quantity threshold of the picking container in at least two dimensions. Compared with the single attribute of the item in the prior art, the embodiment of the present application considers the picking quantity limit in at least two dimensions when creating a picking task, the dimension of the considered factors (or attributes) is more comprehensive, the picking quantity in the created picking task is more appropriate, the picking task and the picking container are more matched, and the situation that the picking container configured for the picking task cannot complete the corresponding picking task and needs to enable a temporary container can be effectively avoided. Therefore, a series of problems caused by the use of temporary containers are avoided, the efficiency of the warehouse is improved, and the loss of items is reduced.

[0036] The task processing method provided by the embodiment of the application will be further described below in combination with the storage positions in the warehouse. Figure 2 The method can include the following steps:

[0037] In step 201, task information of an item outbound task is acquired, and the task information includes identification information of target items to be outbound and an outbound quantity.

[0038] For example, the target items to be outbound can include one or more kinds, and when the target items include multiple kinds, the outbound quantities of the different kinds of target items can be the same or different. The identification information of the target items can be the name, code, SKU, etc. of the target items, and the outbound quantity can be x pieces, x boxes, x units, etc.

[0039] In step 202, outbound positioning information is generated according to the identification information and the outbound quantity of the target items and the identification information and the storage quantity of the items stored in each storage position. The outbound positioning information includes the target storage position of the target items to be outbound determined from each storage position and the outbound quantity of the target items in the target storage position.

[0040] Generally, a warehouse has multiple storage positions, and the identification information and the storage quantity of the items stored in each storage position can be maintained. When the target items to be outbound are needed, the storage position of the target items to be outbound and the outbound quantity of the storage position can be positioned according to the identification information and the outbound quantity of the target items and the identification information and the storage quantity of the items stored in each storage position, so as to generate the outbound positioning information according to the positioning result. The outbound positioning information includes the target storage position of the target items to be outbound determined from each storage position and the outbound quantity of the target items in the target storage position. The warehouse in the embodiment of the application can be a full-category warehouse. For example, 8 target items to be outbound are needed, 7 target items to be outbound are stored in storage position 1, and 4 target items to be outbound are stored in storage position 2, so it can be determined that 7 target items to be outbound are to be outbound from storage position 1 and 1 target item to be outbound is to be outbound from storage position 2.

[0041] In addition, when the outbound storage position is positioned, the specification information of the target items can be combined for positioning, so as to minimize the unpacking and improve the outbound efficiency. The specification information of the target items can be the packaging specification information. In the embodiment of the application, in order to more accurately create the picking task, multiple levels of specifications can be set for one kind of target items in each dimension. The dimension in the embodiment of the application refers to the dimension used to measure the quantity of the target items, and at least two dimensions such as the quantity dimension, the volume dimension, the weight dimension, etc. For example, 8 barrels of milk powder to be outbound are needed, the specification of the milk powder is 6 barrels per box, 1 barrel of milk powder is stored in storage position 1, and 4 barrels of milk powder are stored in storage position 2, so it can be determined that at least 1 box of milk powder to be outbound is to be outbound from storage position 1, and the rest is supplemented from storage position 2, so as to avoid unpacking the milk powder in storage position 1. For example, if 4 barrels of milk powder to be outbound are to be outbound from storage position 1 and 4 barrels of milk powder to be outbound are to be outbound from storage position 2, the milk powder in storage position 1 needs to be unpacked.

[0042] In addition, when locating the storage location, if the storage amount of an item in a certain storage location meets the quantity of the target item to be picked, the storage location is preferentially located to improve the picking efficiency. For example, 8 target items are to be picked, storage location 1 has 10 target items, and storage location 2 has 4 target items, so the 8 target items are preferentially picked from storage location 1, rather than 4 target items are picked from storage location 1 and 4 target items are picked from storage location 2.

[0043] In step 203, the specification information of the target item is obtained according to the identification information of the target item, and the picking quantity of the target storage location in at least two dimensions is determined according to the specification information and the quantity of the target item to be picked in the target storage location.

[0044] Specifically, the picking quantity and the picking volume of the target storage location can be converted according to the specification information of the target item and the quantity of the target item to be picked in the target storage location. For example, the target item is milk powder, storage location 1 has one box plus one barrel of milk powder, storage location 2 has one barrel of milk powder, the packaging specification of the milk powder is one box of 6 barrels, and there are two levels of specifications of barrel volume and box volume, so it can be determined that the picking quantity of storage location 1 is one box plus one barrel (i.e. 7 barrels), and the picking volume is the sum of the volume of one box of milk powder and one barrel of milk powder; the picking quantity of storage location 2 is one barrel, and the picking volume of storage location 2 is the volume of one barrel of milk powder.

[0045] In step 204, the picking path is planned according to the location information of the target storage location.

[0046] For example, when the determined target storage locations include multiple target storage locations, the location information of each target storage location can be obtained, and a picking path with the shortest distance can be planned according to the location information of each target storage location, so as to obtain the picking path.

[0047] In step 205, it is determined whether the picking quantity of a single target storage location on the picking path exceeds the picking quantity threshold value, and whether the picking volume of the single target storage location exceeds the picking volume threshold value. If at least one of the two exceeds, step 206 is performed, and if neither of the two exceeds, step 207 is performed.

[0048] In step 206, a picking task is created according to the picking quantity and the picking volume of the single target storage location, and a picking container is configured for the picking task.

[0049] That is, when the picking quantity of a single target storage location exceeds the picking quantity threshold value and / or the picking volume of the single target storage location exceeds the picking volume threshold value, a picking task is created according to the picking quantity and the picking volume of the single target storage location. The picking task can include the storage location identification of the single storage location and the picking quantity and the picking volume of the single storage location. The storage location identification can be, for example, a storage location name, a number, etc. In addition, the picking task can also include the identification information of the target item.

[0050] Step 207, creating a picking task according to the picking quantity and picking volume of the adjacent multiple target storage locations on the picking path, and configuring a picking container for the picking task, the sum of the picking quantity of the multiple target storage locations does not exceed the picking quantity threshold, and the sum of the picking volume of the multiple target storage locations does not exceed the picking volume threshold.

[0051] For example, the picking task created in step 207 can include the storage location identification of the multiple target storage locations and the picking quantity and picking volume of each target storage location, and in addition, the picking task can also include the identification information of the target goods. That is, when creating a picking task, the goods of different storage locations can be combined in one picking task (but cannot exceed the limit of the picking container), but the goods of the same storage location are preferably not split into two picking tasks to improve picking efficiency.

[0052] For example, the created picking task can have a task identification, and the picking container also has a container identification, and the task identification and the container identification can be bound to configure the picking container for the picking task. Generally, one picking container can be configured for one picking task.

[0053] In the embodiment of the application, the specification information of the target goods can be obtained through the identification information of the target goods, the picking quantity of the target goods in at least two dimensions is determined according to the specification information of the target goods and the outbound quantity, and the picking task is created and the picking container is configured according to the picking quantity of the target goods in at least two dimensions and the picking quantity threshold of the picking container in at least two dimensions. Compared with the prior art which only considers the single attribute of the goods, the embodiment of the application considers the picking quantity limit in at least two dimensions when creating the picking task, the dimension of the considered factors (or attributes) is more comprehensive, the picking quantity in the created picking task is more appropriate, and the picking task and the picking container are more matched, which can effectively avoid the situation that the picking container configured for the picking task cannot complete the corresponding picking task and needs to enable a temporary container, thereby avoiding a series of problems caused by the temporary container, improving the outbound efficiency, and reducing the loss of goods.

[0054] The task processing method provided by the embodiment of the application is illustrated below, for example Figure 3 As shown, a certain sales order contains 5 pieces of product A, 10 pieces of product B and 5 pieces of product C, that is, 5 pieces of product A, 10 pieces of product B and 5 pieces of product C are to be shipped out from the current warehouse, and the details are as follows:

[0055] (1) Position the outbound storage location.

[0056] (a) After positioning, it is determined that 4 pieces of product A are shipped out from No. 1 storage location and 1 piece of product A is shipped out from No. 4 storage location, for example, 4 pieces of product A are in one box, and the volume of one box is 1.6 m 3 , and the volume of one piece is 0.6 m 3The picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 1 storage location are 4 pieces and 1.6 m 3 , respectively. The picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 4 storage location are 1 piece and 0.6 m 3 , respectively.

[0057] (b) After positioning, it is determined that 5 pieces of product B are picked from the No. 2 storage location and 5 pieces of product B are picked from the No. 5 storage location, for example, 5 pieces of product B are a box, and the volume of the box is 0.5 m 3 The picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 2 storage location are 5 pieces and 0.5 m 3 , respectively. The picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 5 storage location are 5 pieces and 0.5 m 3 , respectively.

[0058] (c) After positioning, it is determined that 5 pieces of product C are picked from the No. 3 storage location, for example, 5 pieces of product C are a box, and the volume of the box is 1 m 3 The picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 3 storage location are 5 pieces and 1 m 3 , respectively.

[0059] (2) Plan the picking path.

[0060] After positioning, the shortest path is planned according to the position information of the positioned storage locations. For example, in this example, the planned picking path is No. 1 storage location -> No. 2 storage location -> No. 3 storage location -> No. 4 storage location -> No. 5 storage location.

[0061] (3) Create a picking task and configure a picking container.

[0062] Suppose the picking quantity threshold of the picking container is 20 pieces, and the picking volume threshold is 2 m 3 . According to the picking path, first, the picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 1 storage location do not exceed the limit of the picking container, so it is considered whether the goods of the No. 2 storage location can be combined with the goods of the No. 1 storage location to create a picking task. The combined picking quantity is 9 pieces, and the combined picking volume is 2.1 m 3 . After combination, it is found that the picking volume exceeds the limit of the picking container, so only a picking task is created according to the picking quantity and picking volume of the No. 1 storage location, and picking container one is configured for the picking task.

[0063] According to the picking path, the No. 2 storage location is considered next. It is found that the combination of the No. 2 storage location and the No. 3 storage location will not exceed the limit of the picking container, but if the goods of the No. 2 storage location, the No. 3 storage location, and the No. 4 storage location are combined (the picking quantity and picking volume are 11 pieces and 2.1 m 3 , respectively), it will exceed the volume limit of the picking container, so a picking task can be created by combining the goods of the No. 2 storage location and the No. 3 storage location, and picking container two is configured for the picking task.

[0064] According to the picking path, the No. 4 storage location is considered next, and it is found that the combination of the goods of the No. 4 storage location and the No. 5 storage location does not exceed the limit of the picking container, so a picking task can be created by combining the goods of the No. 4 storage location and the No. 5 storage location, and the picking container three is configured for the picking task.

[0065] As can be seen, according to the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application, since the picking quantity and the picking volume in each picking task do not exceed the limit of the picking container, one picking container can complete the corresponding picking task, and no temporary container is needed, thereby avoiding a series of problems caused by the use of the temporary container.

[0066] To reflect the effect of the present application, the process of creating a picking task by only considering a single attribute of an article according to the related art is compared and explained below, taking the number of articles as an example, i.e., creating a picking task according to the quantity limit, as shown in Figure 4 , and taking the same example of 5 pieces of goods A, 10 pieces of goods B, and 5 pieces of goods C to be shipped out of the warehouse, if the picking container is limited only in the quantity dimension, i.e., only has a picking data threshold of 20 pieces, after the picking path is planned, it is found that the sum of the quantities of the goods of the five storage locations does not exceed 20 pieces (exactly 20 pieces), so only one picking task is created, and a picking container (picking container one) is configured for the picking task. Obviously, since the sum of the volumes of the goods of the five storage locations is 4.2 m 3 , which seriously exceeds the upper limit of the picking volume of the picking container, two temporary containers will be added in the actual picking process, and the temporary containers need to be manually entered with the shipping order number in the review stage, which reduces the shipping efficiency and is prone to errors, resulting in loss of articles.

[0067] The task processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application is further described below, as shown in Figure 5 , which can specifically include the following steps:

[0068] In step 301, task information of an article shipping task is obtained, and the task information includes identification information and a shipping quantity of a target article to be shipped out.

[0069] For example, the target article to be shipped out can include one or more kinds, and when the target article includes multiple kinds, the shipping quantities of the different kinds of target articles can be the same or different, depending on the actual situation. The identification information of the target article can be the name, code, SKU, etc. of the target article, and the shipping quantity can be x pieces, x boxes, x units, etc.

[0070] In step 302, the specification information of the target article is obtained according to the identification information of the target article, and the picking quantity and the picking volume of the target article are determined according to the specification information and the shipping quantity.

[0071] For example, the specification information can refer to packaging specification information. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to create the picking task more accurately, a plurality of levels of specifications can be set for the target item in the quantity dimension and the volume dimension. The picking quantity and the picking volume of the target item can be converted according to the specification information and the outbound quantity of the target item.

[0072] Step 303, determining the first quantity of the picking container required for picking the target item according to the picking quantity of the target item and the picking quantity threshold of the picking container.

[0073] For example, the picking quantity of the target item can be divided by the picking quantity threshold of the picking container to determine the first quantity of the picking container. For example, the picking quantity of the target item is 20 pieces, and the picking quantity threshold is 20 pieces, so the first quantity is determined to be 1, i.e. one picking container is required in the quantity dimension.

[0074] Step 304, determining the second quantity of the picking container required for picking the target item according to the picking volume of the target item and the picking volume threshold of the picking container.

[0075] For example, the picking volume of the target item can be divided by the picking volume threshold of the picking container to determine the second quantity of the picking container. For example, the picking volume of the target item is 4.2m 3 , and the picking volume threshold is 2m 3 , so the second quantity is determined to be 3, i.e. three picking containers are required in the volume dimension.

[0076] Step 305, determining the larger one of the first quantity and the second quantity as the quantity of the picking container required for picking the target item.

[0077] Continuing with the above example, it is finally determined that three picking containers are required.

[0078] Step 306, creating the picking task for the quantity, and configuring the picking container for each picking task.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the specification information of the target object can be obtained through the identification information of the target object, the picking quantity of the target object in at least two dimensions is determined according to the specification information of the target object and the outbound quantity, the picking task is created and the picking container is configured according to the picking quantity of the target object in at least two dimensions and the picking quantity threshold of the picking container in at least two dimensions. Compared with the prior art which only considers the single attribute of the object, the embodiment of the present application considers the picking quantity limit in at least two dimensions when creating the picking task, the dimension of the considered factors (or attributes) is more comprehensive, the picking quantity in the created picking task is more appropriate, and the picking task and the picking container are more matched, which can effectively avoid the situation that the picking container configured for the picking task cannot complete the corresponding picking task and needs to enable a temporary container, thereby avoiding a series of problems caused by the temporary container, improving the outbound efficiency, and reducing the loss of objects.

[0080] Figure 6 is a structural diagram of a task processing device provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the device is suitable for executing the task processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, Figure 6 the device can specifically include:
