Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automated logistics, and in particular to a method for controlling the delivery of finished cigarettes with multiple orders having sequencing requirements. Background Art

[0002] In the tobacco industry, the delivery of finished cigarettes must not only meet time urgency, but also follow specific sorting requirements to ensure that orders from different customers can be delivered on time and in order. In the traditional delivery model, a pallet of cigarettes is shipped out of the warehouse through a variety of conveying equipment such as stackers, four-way vehicles, conveyors, AGVs, etc. The transportation route is long and the transportation time is long, resulting in a long time for connecting orders in the case of multiple transport orders in the same delivery channel. There are multiple brands shipped in each transport order, and the same transport order needs to be unloaded at different locations, which requires the warehouse to have a strict brand loading order when shipping, which will also cause the connection between brands in the shipping details to take too long. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the shipment of finished cigarettes with multiple orders and sorting requirements in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, which is used in the automated three-dimensional warehouse for finished products in the tobacco industry, reduces the connection time between orders and between shipment details within an order, and improves the shipment efficiency of finished cigarettes.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A method for controlling the delivery of finished cigarettes with multiple orders and sequencing requirements, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Through order management, platform management, buffer station management, depalletizing station management and parameter setting as input parameters;

[0007] In the comprehensive calculation management, the document details of the current shipment, the document details of the current stocking, the available depalletizing platform for the document, the available stocking platform for the document and the relative distance between the platforms are calculated respectively to form an uninterrupted shipment control process and stocking control process;

[0008] The delivery control process includes:

[0009] Query the documents with "confirmed" status at the current delivery platform, and query the details of the documents being shipped out;

[0010] Calculate the available destacking platforms through the destacking platforms corresponding to the platforms;

[0011] Check whether the cache station has ready pallets. If so, generate a task from the cache station to the depalletizing station. If not, check whether there is a stocking task. If there is a stocking task, no task will be generated. Wait until the stocking task is completed before generating a task from the cache station to the depalletizing station. If there is no stocking task, generate a task from the vertical warehouse to the depalletizing station.

[0012] After the task at the depalletizing station is completed, the pallets will be depalletized to complete the pallet delivery process.

[0013] Furthermore, the stocking control process includes:

[0014] Query the documents in the "confirmed" and "pre-confirmed" status at the platform and calculate the stocking details;

[0015] Check whether the cache station has the stock pallet for the document. If not and there is no stock preparation task and there is an available depalletizing station, the task from the warehouse to the depalletizing station is generated, and no stock preparation task is generated;

[0016] Check if the cache station has stocking pallets or stocking tasks or there are no available depalletizing stations, and generate stocking tasks;

[0017] By setting parameters, the number of cacheable platforms at the current platform and the number of cached platforms occupied by the document are calculated to obtain the cached platforms that can be stocked with the document at the current platform;

[0018] Calculate the relative distances through the associated distances between the cache platforms that can be stocked and the depalletizing platforms corresponding to the platforms, and sort them in ascending order according to the relative distances;

[0019] After the available cache stations are sorted by relative distance, tasks are generated from the warehouse to the cache station.

[0020] Furthermore, the order management includes order status and order detail line attributes. The order status includes: new, pre-confirmed, confirmed and completed; the order detail line attributes include: delivery sequence, planned quantity, actual quantity, off-shelf quantity and stock quantity; the order management process includes:

[0021] Check whether there are documents in the "pre-confirmation" status in each shipping channel. If so, sort the documents in the "pre-confirmation" status in ascending order by time;

[0022] Check whether there are any documents in the "Confirmed" status. If so, ship the goods. Otherwise, change the status of the first-ranked "Pre-Confirmed" document to "Confirmed" and ship the goods.

[0023] Furthermore, the platform management sets the corresponding relationship between the platform and the depalletizing platform. After the document is confirmed, the target depalletizing platform for generating the outbound task is the depalletizing platform corresponding to the platform.

[0024] Furthermore, the cache platform management and destacking platform management both include storage status and usage status, the storage status includes: idle, moving in, removing and loading; the usage status includes: in use and not in use; the cache platform and the destacking platform are set with an associated distance according to the plane layout, the corresponding destacking platforms of the same shipping platform are connected to each other, the associated distance of the destacking platforms of the same shipping platform can be set to the same, and the associated distance is used to calculate the relative distance between the two platforms.

[0025] Furthermore, the parameter setting includes the current number of shipping platforms and the number of cache stations. According to the number of shipping platforms, the number of cache stations that can be used for each shipping document is set.

[0026] Furthermore, the calculation of the document details of the current shipment includes: the documents in the current "confirmed" state of each shipment channel, the document details are in ascending order of "shipping order", and the detail lines where the "planned quantity" is greater than the "discontinued quantity";

[0027] The document details for calculating the current inventory include: the document details in the "Confirmation" status are sorted in ascending order according to the "Shipping Order". After calculating the "Current Inventory Document Details", check whether there are details whose shipping order is after the "Current Inventory Document Details" and whose "Planned Quantity" is greater than the "Inventory Quantity". If there is such a detail, it will be the "Current Inventory Document Details". If not, query the documents in the "Pre-Confirmation" status, and the details whose "Shipping Order" is after the "Current Inventory Document Details" and whose "Planned Quantity" is greater than the "Inventory Quantity" will be the "Current Inventory Document Details".

[0028] Furthermore, the calculating of available depalletizing platforms for the document includes: searching for corresponding depalletizing platforms through the document platform, and filtering out depalletizing platforms with a usage status of "in use" and a storage status of "free".

[0029] Furthermore, the calculation documents can be used to prepare the goods on the platform including:

[0030] "Number of stocking stations available for the document" Q;

[0031] The query filters out the "number of available platforms" Q1 whose usage status is "in use" and storage status is "free";

[0032] Query the "number of cache platforms occupied by delivery documents" Q2 on the current platform;

[0033] Query parameter settings to obtain the "available quantity on the platform" Q3 for the current document shipment;

[0034] "Document available stock quantity" Q4 = Q3-Q2;

[0035] When Q4<=0, Q=0;

[0036] When Q4 > 0 and Q4 >= Q1, then Q = Q1;

[0037] When Q4 > 0 and Q4 < Q1, then Q = Q4.

[0038] Furthermore, the calculation of the relative distance between the stations includes:

[0039] During the stock preparation stage, after querying the available buffer stations, calculate the relative distance from the buffer stations to the depalletizing stations according to the associated distance between the depalletizing stations and the buffer stations, and sort them in ascending order according to the relative distance.

[0049] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0050] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0051] See also Figure 1-7 ,A method for controlling the delivery of finished cigarette pieces with multiple orders and sequencing requirements, e.g. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0052] Through order management, platform management, cache station management, depalletizing station management and parameter setting as input parameters;

[0053] In the comprehensive calculation management, the document details of the current shipment, the document details of the current stocking, the available depalletizing platform for the document, the available stocking platform for the document and the relative distance between the platforms are calculated respectively to form an uninterrupted shipment control process and stocking control process;

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the delivery control process includes:

[0055] Query the documents with "confirmed" status at the current delivery platform, and query the details of the documents being shipped out;

[0056] Calculate the available destacking platforms through the destacking platforms corresponding to the platforms;

[0057] Check whether the cache station has ready pallets. If so, generate a task from the cache station to the depalletizing station. If not, check whether there is a stocking task. If there is a stocking task, no task will be generated. Wait until the stocking task is completed before generating a task from the cache station to the depalletizing station. If there is no stocking task, generate a task from the vertical warehouse to the depalletizing station.

[0058] After the task at the depalletizing station is completed, the pallets will be depalletized to complete the pallet delivery process.

[0059] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the inventory control process includes:

[0060] Query the documents in the "confirmed" and "pre-confirmed" status at the platform and calculate the stocking details;

[0061] Check whether the cache station has the stock pallet for the document. If not and there is no stock preparation task and there is an available depalletizing station, the task from the warehouse to the depalletizing station is generated, and no stock preparation task is generated;

[0062] Check if the cache station has stocking pallets or stocking tasks or there are no available depalletizing stations, and generate stocking tasks;

[0063] By setting parameters, the number of cacheable platforms at the current platform and the number of cached platforms occupied by the document are calculated to obtain the cached platforms that can be stocked with the document at the current platform;

[0064] Calculate the relative distances through the associated distances between the cache platforms that can be stocked and the depalletizing platforms corresponding to the platforms, and sort them in ascending order according to the relative distances;

[0065] After the available cache stations are sorted by relative distance, tasks are generated from the warehouse to the cache station.

[0066] Order management includes order status and order detail line attributes. Order status includes:

[0067] New: Receive the initial status of documents created by external systems or yourself;

[0068] Pre-confirmation: waiting in line for shipment;

[0069] Confirmation: Start shipping;

[0070] Completed: Delivery completed;

[0071] The order detail line attributes include: Shipping sequence: the order in which the document materials are loaded;

[0072] Planned quantity: order delivery demand;

[0073] Actual quantity: the actual quantity shipped;

[0074] Off-shelf quantity: the quantity that has generated outbound tasks but has not yet arrived at the shipping port;

[0075] Stock quantity: the stock quantity generated to the cache station (if the task is directly generated to the depalletizing station, the stock quantity in the document details after the task is generated needs to be added to the outbound quantity);

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the order management process includes:

[0077] Check whether there are documents in the "pre-confirmation" status in each shipping channel. If so, sort the documents in the "pre-confirmation" status in ascending order by time;

[0078] Check whether there are any documents in the "Confirmed" status. If so, ship the goods. Otherwise, change the status of the first-ranked "Pre-Confirmed" document to "Confirmed" and ship the goods.

[0079] Platform management sets the corresponding relationship between the platform and the depalletizing platform. After the document is confirmed, the target depalletizing platform that generates the outbound task is the depalletizing platform corresponding to the platform.

[0080] Both the cache station management and the depalletizing station management include storage status and usage status. The storage status includes:

[0081] Idle: The current station is idle;

[0082] Move in: There is a task of moving a pallet to the current platform;

[0083] Move out: The task of moving the pallet at the current station to another location;

[0084] Cargo: There is a pallet occupied at the current platform;

[0085] Usage status includes: used and not used;

[0086] The associated distances of the cache platform and the depalletizing platform are set according to the plane layout. The corresponding depalletizing platforms of the same shipping platform are connected to each other. The associated distances of the depalletizing platforms of the same shipping platform can be set to be the same. The associated distance is used to calculate the relative distance between the two platforms.

[0087] Parameter settings include the current number of shipping platforms and the number of cache platforms. According to the number of shipping platforms, the number of cache platforms that can be used for each shipping document is set.

[0088] The document details for the current shipment are calculated as follows: the documents in the "Confirmed" status for each shipping channel, the document details are in ascending order of "Shipping Order", and the detail lines where the "Planned Quantity" is greater than the "Discontinued Quantity";

[0089] The document details for calculating the current inventory include: the document details in the "Confirmation" status are sorted in ascending order according to the "Shipping Order". After calculating the "Current Inventory Document Details", check whether there are details whose shipping order is after the "Current Inventory Document Details" and whose "Planned Quantity" is greater than the "Inventory Quantity". If there is such a detail, it will be the "Current Inventory Document Details". If not, query the documents in the "Pre-Confirmation" status, and the details whose "Shipping Order" is after the "Current Inventory Document Details" and whose "Planned Quantity" is greater than the "Inventory Quantity" will be the "Current Inventory Document Details".

[0090] Calculating the available depalletizing platforms for a document includes: searching for the corresponding depalletizing platforms through the document platform, and filtering out the depalletizing platforms with a usage status of "in use" and a storage status of "free".

[0091] The available stockpiling platforms for calculation documents include:

[0092] "The quantity of available stockpiling platforms for documents" Q;

[0093] Query and filter out "the quantity of available stockpiling platforms" Q1 with the usage status of "in use" and the storage status of "idle";

[0094] Query the "quantity of buffer platforms occupied by shipping documents" Q2 of the current platform;

[0095] Query the parameter settings to obtain "the quantity of available stockpiling on the platform" Q3 for the current document shipment;

[0096] "The quantity of available stockpiling for documents" Q4 = Q3 - Q2;

[0097] When Q4 <= 0, then Q = 0;

[0098] When Q4 > 0 and Q4 >= Q1, then Q = Q1;

[0099] When Q4 > 0 and Q4 < Q1, then Q = Q4.

[0100] Calculating the relative distance of platforms includes:

[0101] During the available stockpiling stage, after querying the available buffer platforms, calculate the relative distance from the buffer platform to the depalletizing platform according to the associated distance between the depalletizing platform and the buffer platform, and sort them in ascending order according to the relative distance.

[0102] In another specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the first floor contains a four-way vehicle automated storage and retrieval system, 28 buffer platforms, 5 robotic arms, 6 depalletizing channels, and 15 depalletizing platforms, and 5 sorting and shipping platforms; Figure 4 Shown are the dense warehouses on the second, third, and fourth floors with the same layout. These floors use elevators to achieve pallet handling between different floors. Each floor uses AGVs to achieve pallet handling between platforms.

[0103] It can be analyzed from the floor plan that the pallets in the four-way garage on the first floor need to be transported through four-way vehicles, conveyors, and AGVs from the automated storage and retrieval system to the depalletizing platform for depalletizing. The pallets in the dense warehouses on the second, third, and fourth floors need to be transported through AGVs, floor elevators, and AGVs from the automated storage and retrieval system to the depalletizing platform; the time for pallets to reach the depalletizing platform is relatively long, especially for the second, third, and fourth floors. If shipping is done one document at a time, it will cause too long connection time between document details and between documents, seriously affecting the shipping efficiency.

[0104] This method makes full use of the cache platform through the "input parameters" and "comprehensive calculation management" in the technical solution to achieve seamless connection between document details and between documents, thereby improving the efficiency of cigarette sorting and delivery.

[0105] Related correspondence and parameter settings:

[0106] The corresponding relationship between the platform and the destacking platform:

[0107] A shipping platform can be set up with a corresponding relationship with the depalletizing platform of the robot where the depalletizing channel connected to the logistics path is located. The shipping platform and the depalletizing platforms that establish a corresponding relationship are set according to the shipping requirements.

[0108] For example Figure 3 The top shipping channel No. 1 can be bound to the 3 depalletizing platforms of the No. 1 robot and the 3 depalletizing platforms of the No. 2 robot. The actual setting is that shipping channel No. 1 is bound to the 3 depalletizing platforms of the No. 1 robot and the 1 depalletizing platform of the No. 2 robot.

[0109] Association distance setting;

[0110] The associated distance of the depalletizing station is based on Figure 3 From top to bottom, the three depalletizing stations of robot arm No. 1 have an associated distance of 1, that of robot arm No. 2 is 2, and so on;

[0111] The associated distance of the cache station, from top to bottom, from right to left, such as Figure 5 As shown,

[0112] Current delivery platform quantity and cache platform quantity settings:

[0113] According to the actual situation, the maximum number of platforms that can ship goods at the same time is 3, and the parameters are set as follows.

[0114] 1 platform is used for delivery, and the number of stations that can be cached on the platform is 12.

[0115] For shipment from 2 platforms, the number of stations that can be cached on the platform is 12.

[0116] For shipments from 3 or more platforms, the number of stations that can be cached is 10.

[0117] Use status settings for the buffering / destacking station.

[0118] The fault status of a specific station can be used to set whether the station is in use, or the use status of a certain station can be set manually.

[0119] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the delivery control process includes:

[0120] Query the documents with "confirmed" status at the current delivery platform, and query the details of the documents being shipped out;

[0121] Calculate the available destacking platforms through the destacking platforms corresponding to the platforms;

[0122] Check whether the cache station has ready pallets. If so, generate a task from the cache station to the depalletizing station. If not, check whether there is a stocking task. If there is a stocking task, no task will be generated. Wait until the stocking task is completed before generating a task from the cache station to the depalletizing station. If there is no stocking task, generate a task from the vertical warehouse to the depalletizing station.

[0123] After the task at the depalletizing station is completed, the pallets will be depalletized to complete the pallet delivery process.

[0124] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the inventory control process includes:

[0125] Query the documents in the "confirmed" and "pre-confirmed" status at the platform and calculate the stocking details;

[0126] Check whether the cache station has the stock pallet for the document. If not and there is no stock preparation task and there is an available depalletizing station, the task from the warehouse to the depalletizing station is generated, and no stock preparation task is generated;

[0127] Check if the cache station has stocking pallets or stocking tasks or there are no available depalletizing stations, and generate stocking tasks;

[0128] By setting parameters, the number of cacheable platforms at the current platform and the number of cached platforms occupied by the document are calculated to obtain the cached platforms that can be stocked with the document at the current platform;

[0129] Calculate the relative distances through the associated distances between the cache platforms that can be stocked and the depalletizing platforms corresponding to the platforms, and sort them in ascending order according to the relative distances;

[0130] After the available cache stations are sorted by relative distance, tasks are generated from the warehouse to the cache station.

[0131] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the technical solution concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
