Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present specification relate to the technical field of warehouse logistics, and in particular to a goods shipping method and device and electronic equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In related technologies, a logistics system constructed by a two-level warehouse network (i.e., supplier -> central warehouse -> grid warehouse -> consumer) is widely used because it greatly shortens the circulation time of goods from the manufacturing end to the consumer end.

[0003] The two-level warehouse network mainly includes a central warehouse and a plurality of grid warehouses corresponding to the central warehouse. Each warehouse serves the customer demand in its jurisdiction according to its physical space location. In addition to serving the customer demand in its jurisdiction, the central warehouse is also responsible for replenishing each grid warehouse to ensure that each grid warehouse has sufficient inventory to fulfill the customer demand in its jurisdiction in a timely manner.

[0004] When the central warehouse ships goods to the grid warehouse, the goods need to go through the loading, shipping, and unloading processes to complete the outbound process in the traditional process, and then go through the trunk transportation to the grid warehouse, and finally complete the inbound process by the grid warehouse.

[0005] When the distribution area of some grid warehouses overlaps with the distribution area of the central warehouse, these grid warehouses can reuse the site of the central warehouse for operation, thereby reducing the site cost of the grid warehouse. The grid warehouse that reuses the site of the central warehouse for operation can be generally referred to as a first-level grid warehouse.

[0006] When the central warehouse ships goods to the first-level grid warehouse, there is a great difference from the foregoing traditional process because the first-level grid warehouse reuses the site of the central warehouse. Therefore, a corresponding shipping solution needs to be provided for the first-level grid warehouse. SUMMARY

The description of the exemplary embodiments is intended to apply to any embodiment of the application, unless specifically stated otherwise. It is to be understood that other embodiments can be utilized, and structural or procedural changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Therefore, the specification and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and explanations in the specification are for the purpose of the most comprehensive and inclusive patent application possible.

[0056] The terminology used in this description is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the present description. As used in this description and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0057] It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various information, these terms are not intended to denote a temporal or chronological order. Rather, these terms are used only as a shorthand notation to distinguish one item from another. For example, in the absence of a departure from the scope of the present description, first information can also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information can also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if' as used herein can be interpreted to mean "when" or "in response to determining."

[0058] As Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the shipping process includes the creation of a shipping order by the central warehouse, loading, and shipping; and the receiving process includes the receiving by the grid warehouse.

[0059] For the goods to be sent by the central warehouse, a staff member first needs to create a corresponding shipping order, which will serve as a voucher for receiving and calculating.

[0060] Loading refers to loading the goods to be sent by the central warehouse onto a transport vehicle.

[0061] Shipping refers to a staff member updating the shipping order status to shipping in progress by scanning the shipping order. After completing the shipping process, the subsequent transport process (not shown in the figure) is entered, in which the driver transports the goods to the grid warehouse by rail.

[0062] After receiving the goods, the grid warehouse performs the receiving process to complete the receiving and warehousing operation.

[0063] When the center warehouse ships to the first-level grid warehouse, since the first-level grid warehouse reuses the site of the center warehouse, it actually does not need to perform real loading and transportation, but only needs to move the goods to the site of the center warehouse reused by the first-level grid warehouse; however, due to the limitation of the original process, the staff still needs to perform the actual operation of creating a waybill, loading, shipping, and receiving in the field.

[0064] It can be seen that the process of shipping from the center warehouse to the first-level grid warehouse is relatively cumbersome and cannot reflect the efficiency advantage of the first-level grid transfer.

[0065] Therefore, the present specification provides a shipping scheme of goods, as shown in Figure 1 When the center warehouse ships to the first-level grid warehouse, the system of the center warehouse automatically completes the shipping of the target goods by creating a virtual waybill, and the system of the first-level grid warehouse automatically completes the receiving and warehousing of the target goods based on the virtual waybill. Without changing the existing shipping process, automatic shipping and automatic receiving (i.e., the process in the dashed box in Figure 1 ) are realized, thereby improving the efficiency of goods shipping.

[0066] The following describes a logistics warehouse distribution (warehouse storage and distribution) fulfillment system taking a community group purchase business as an example. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present specification can be applied to the logistics warehouse distribution fulfillment system of any other business type, such as the logistics warehouse distribution fulfillment system of an e-commerce business, the logistics warehouse distribution fulfillment system of a mailing business, and the like.

[0067] Generally, the center warehouse is the core role in the logistics warehouse distribution fulfillment system under the community group purchase, mainly used to centrally process orders, sort out and transport to the grid warehouse.

[0068] The grid warehouse is also the core role in the logistics warehouse distribution fulfillment system under the community group purchase, mainly used to sort orders again, receive and sort goods from the center warehouse, and then deliver to the community pickup point.

[0069] For the grid warehouse whose distribution area overlaps with the distribution area of the center warehouse, the grid warehouse can reuse the storage area of the center warehouse for operation to become a first-level grid warehouse.

[0070] The following describes the method for shipping goods provided by the present specification in combination with Figure 2 The method includes the following steps:

[0071] In step 210, in response to a shipping request for a target good in the center warehouse, it is determined whether the grid warehouse for receiving in the shipping request is a first-level grid warehouse; wherein the first-level grid warehouse includes a grid warehouse that reuses a target storage area in the center warehouse for operation.

[0072] In combination with Figure 3A flowchart showing the process between the central warehouse user, the system of the central warehouse, and the system of the first-level grid warehouse.

[0073] When the central warehouse needs to send goods to the grid warehouse, the central warehouse user can perform the outbound operation on the target goods through the mobile terminal (such as a smart phone), thereby initiating a shipping request for the target goods to the system of the central warehouse.

[0074] Correspondingly, the system of the central warehouse can receive the shipping request for the target goods; wherein the shipping request can include the grid warehouse designated for receiving goods.

[0075] Firstly, the system of the central warehouse can execute the shipping logic by calling the shipping interface to determine whether the grid warehouse designated for receiving goods in the shipping request is a first-level grid warehouse. If it is not a first-level grid warehouse, the goods are shipped according to the original shipping process, that is, a non-virtual waybill (i.e., a normal waybill) is created, the goods are loaded, the goods are transported, and the grid warehouse receives the goods. The non-virtual waybill refers to a waybill generated using real vehicle information, and the non-virtual waybill needs to be actually transported by a vehicle.

[0076] Step 220, if yes, a virtual waybill is generated using virtual vehicle information, and the virtual waybill is associated with the target goods.

[0077] If it is a first-level grid warehouse, the goods are still shipped according to the original shipping process, but a normal waybill is no longer created, and the goods do not need to be actually loaded and transported. Instead, a virtual waybill is automatically created by the system of the central warehouse, and the loading and shipping are directly completed.

[0078] In implementation, the system of the central warehouse can generate a virtual waybill using virtual vehicle information, and associate the virtual waybill with the target goods.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, the generation of the virtual waybill using virtual vehicle information can include:

[0080] determining whether the first-level grid warehouse has enabled the automatic shipping strategy;

[0081] if the first-level grid warehouse has enabled the automatic shipping strategy, a virtual waybill is generated using virtual vehicle information.

[0082] In actual application, the strategy of the first-level grid warehouse can be flexibly configured according to actual conditions, for example, the first-level grid warehouse can choose to enable or disable the automatic shipping. If the first-level grid warehouse enables the automatic shipping strategy, the system of the central warehouse can execute step 230. If the first-level grid warehouse disables the automatic shipping strategy, the goods are shipped according to the original shipping process.

[0083] Here, the automatic shipment is still in accordance with the normal shipment process, and the loading step needs to be performed. However, the system directly confirms the completion of loading instead of actually loading the goods, so that the on-site staff does not need to manually confirm the completion of loading.

[0084] In step 230, in response to the shipment completion request for the target goods, the virtual waybill is issued to the system of the primary grid warehouse, so that the system of the primary grid warehouse confirms that the target goods have been received and completes the warehousing operation of the target goods after receiving the virtual waybill.

[0085] In this specification, the shipment completion request can be initiated by triggering the virtual waybill after the center warehouse user moves the target goods to the target storage area.

[0086] The center warehouse user includes the staff of the center warehouse or an automated device, and the way of triggering the virtual waybill can be that the staff scans the printed virtual waybill using a mobile terminal, or that the automated device (such as an unmanned loading and unloading vehicle) scans the printed virtual waybill through a scanning device.

[0087] In actual applications, the waybill information of the virtual waybill can also be written into an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag corresponding to the goods. Accordingly, the way of triggering the virtual waybill can be that the staff or the automated device triggers it by scanning the RFID tag.

[0088] The above-mentioned way of triggering the virtual waybill is only an example, and any form of way can be used to trigger the virtual waybill in actual applications.

[0089] In order to facilitate the center warehouse user to distinguish between virtual waybills and non-virtual waybills, the waybill number header of the virtual waybill and the non-virtual waybill can be different. In this way, the center warehouse user can quickly distinguish whether the goods need to be transported to the primary grid warehouse by checking the waybill number. If the goods need to be transported to the primary grid warehouse, the goods can be directly transported to the storage area in the center warehouse that is shared by the primary grid warehouse.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, before the virtual waybill is issued to the system of the primary grid warehouse, the following steps can also be included:

[0091] Obtaining the location of the target goods;

[0092] If the location of the target goods is in the target storage area in the center warehouse, the step of issuing the virtual waybill to the system of the primary grid warehouse is performed.

[0093] In the present specification, by identifying the location of the target goods, it is determined whether the target goods are actually transferred to the first-level grid warehouse (i.e., the target storage area of the multiplex center warehouse); only when the target goods are actually transferred to the first-level grid warehouse, the virtual waybill is allowed to be issued to the system of the first-level grid warehouse.

[0094] Since the virtual waybill is issued to the system of the first-level grid warehouse, the system of the first-level grid warehouse will automatically complete the receipt; therefore, in order to avoid the first-level grid warehouse confirming the receipt, and the target goods being lost due to various factors, the target goods are not actually transferred to the first-level grid warehouse, and finally the problem of goods loss occurs, certain condition restrictions are made on the issuance of the virtual waybill.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the step 220 of generating the virtual waybill using the virtual vehicle information can further include:

[0096] Obtaining virtual vehicle information in an idle state;

[0097] Generating a virtual waybill using the virtual vehicle information, and modifying the state of the virtual vehicle information to a non-idle state;

[0098] Correspondingly, after the step 230, the system of the center warehouse can modify the state of the virtual vehicle information to an idle state when the system of the first-level grid warehouse confirms that the target goods have been received.

[0099] In the present specification, for the virtual vehicle information, a state information indicating whether the virtual vehicle is idle can be maintained, and only the virtual vehicle information in an idle state is selected when generating the virtual waybill; and when the first-level grid warehouse confirms that the target goods corresponding to the virtual waybill have been received, the occupied virtual vehicle information can be released to be in an idle state again. In this way, the virtual vehicle information can be recycled.

[0100] In summary, the present specification provides a goods shipping scheme, when the center warehouse ships goods to the first-level grid warehouse, the system of the center warehouse automatically completes the shipping of the target goods by creating a virtual waybill, and the system of the first-level grid warehouse automatically completes the receipt of the target goods into the warehouse based on the virtual waybill. In the case of modifying the existing logistics shipping process, automatic shipping and automatic receipt are realized, thereby improving the efficiency of goods shipping.
