AI Technical Summary
In the intelligent elevated warehouse, the utilization rate of the double-extended cargo space is relatively low, especially in the case of odd pallets, which makes it difficult to effectively utilize the low cargo space, resulting in waste of cargo space.
By obtaining the goods information of the goods to be in the current warehouse entry task, we can judge whether there are cargo spaces in the corresponding shelves of each tunnel that are the same as the goods to be in the warehouse, and the low cargo space is idle. If there is, the goods to be inlet are allocated to the low cargo space; if there is no, the target tunnel and idle low cargo space or high cargo space corresponding to the most empty cargo space are allocated to.
The utilization rate of double-extended cargo spaces is improved, the emergence of single-extended cargo spaces is reduced, and the maximum utilization rate of elevated warehouses is ensured.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent high-bay warehouses, and in particular to a method and device for managing cargo spaces of double-extended cargo spaces in intelligent high-bay warehouses. Background Art
[0002] As an important form of modern logistics, intelligent high-bay warehouses are increasingly valued and applied by modern logistics companies for their high utilization, automation, and intelligence. Among them, a double-extended cargo position (Note: double-extended cargo position: the cargo position close to the stacker and far away from the stacker is a double-extended cargo position) can have 10-15% more cargo positions than a single-extended cargo position high-bay warehouse of the same area, which has obvious advantages for companies with single specifications and large batches. Due to the characteristics of double-extended cargo positions, the same row of high and low cargo positions on one side of the same aisle must store the same batch of goods or products. When encountering an odd number of pallets, the same row of low cargo positions will be vacant. Faced with operations such as warehousing, destocking, inventorying, and re-warehousing in different time periods, how to ensure that there is only one single-extended low cargo position left for odd-numbered pallets, and no low cargo positions are vacant for even-numbered pallets, and to ensure the maximum utilization of cargo positions in high-bay warehouses, this involves issues of warehousing logic such as warehousing, destocking, and inventorying. Summary of the invention

[0045] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a smart high-bay warehouse is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the warehouse area of the intelligent high-bay warehouse may include 2 stackers (stacker No. 1 and stacker No. 2) and 8 rows of shelves. Each row of shelves may include 10 rows of cargo spaces, and each row of cargo spaces may include multiple layers of cargo spaces;
[0046] The double-stretch cargo position may be two cargo positions in the same column and the same layer of two adjacent rows, for example, the second layer cargo position of row 1, column 02 and the second layer cargo position of row 2, column 02 are a double-stretch cargo position, wherein the second layer cargo position of row 1, column 02 is the high cargo position in the double-stretch cargo position, and the second layer cargo position of row 2, column 02 is the low cargo position in the double-stretch cargo position; for another example, the second layer cargo position of row 5, column 05 and the second layer cargo position of row 6, column 05 are a double-stretch cargo position, wherein the second layer cargo position of row 5, column 05 is the high cargo position in the double-stretch cargo position, and the second layer cargo position of row 6, column 05 is the low cargo position in the double-stretch cargo position.
[0047] Stacker No. 1 serves the double-reaching cargo positions involved in the 1st and 2nd rows, as well as the double-reaching cargo positions involved in the 3rd and 4th rows. Stacker No. 2 serves the double-reaching cargo positions involved in the 5th and 6th rows, as well as the double-reaching cargo positions involved in the 7th and 8th rows.
[0048] The existing double-extending cargo space utilization rate is about 80-85%, while the cargo space management method of double-extending cargo space in the intelligent high-bay warehouse provided by this application can increase the utilization rate of double-extending cargo space to 90-95%. The method is intended to determine a warehousing logic in the intelligent high-bay warehouse WMS programming system, thereby improving the cargo space utilization rate of double-extending cargo space, avoiding the occurrence of too many single-extending cargo spaces, and greatly improving the cargo space utilization rate.
[0049] In a cargo location management method for double-extended cargo locations in an intelligent elevated warehouse provided by an embodiment of the present application, the incoming pallets in each lane adopt a two-pallet system, that is, two pallets of the same specification, variety, and batch number enter the high and low cargo locations in the same column of a lane, and after they are full, they enter the same high and low cargo locations in another lane or other columns of the lane, with the purpose of improving the utilization rate of cargo locations. In case of warehousing at different time periods (such as: outbound, inventory, picking and returning to the warehouse), search for inbound cargo location query and inventory cargo location data, and the later entering pallet will have priority to enter the low cargo location in the same lane and column of the previous pallet. Inventory, second re-entry, search for inbound cargo locations and query inventory cargo location data, and search and enter the low cargo location in the same position. When outbound, priority is given to obtaining high and low cargo locations in two adjacent rows, the same column, and the same layer of double-extended cargo locations to avoid idle cargo locations.
[0050] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. In addition, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other if there is no conflict.
[0051] Figure 2 The present invention provides a flowchart of a method for managing a double-extended cargo space in an intelligent high-bay warehouse. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:
[0052] Step S210: Obtain cargo information of cargo to be warehousing in the current warehousing task.
[0053] The cargo information may include cargo name, specification and batch number, etc.
[0054] Step S220: Based on a first judgment result of determining whether there is a shelf corresponding to each lane with the same cargo information as the cargo to be stored, in which the high cargo position is occupied and the low cargo position is vacant, assign a target lane and a vacant low cargo position to the cargo to be stored;
[0055] If the first judgment result is yes, the target lane and the position of the vacant low cargo space are allocated for the goods to be stored.
[0056] Further, if the first judgment result does not exist, the target lane corresponding to the most empty cargo spaces is allocated to the goods to be stored, as well as the position of the vacant low cargo space in the target lane, or the position of the high cargo space in the vacant double-stretch cargo space;
[0057] The allocated target aisle and the position of the vacant low cargo position, or the position of the vacant middle and high cargo position of the double-extend cargo position are sent to the stacker of the target aisle, that is, the target aisle and the position of the vacant middle and high cargo position of the double-extend cargo position are allocated to the goods to be stored.
[0058] Step S230: After sending the assigned target lane and the position of the idle low cargo space to the stacker of the target lane, determine whether there is an idle low cargo space with the same cargo information in the shelf corresponding to the target lane, and obtain a second determination result.
[0059] Step S240: Based on the second judgment result, the goods to be stored are allocated to the low cargo position or the high cargo position in the vacant double-stretch cargo position in the target lane.
[0060] If the second judgment result is that there is an empty low cargo space with the same cargo information, the cargo to be stored is allocated to the empty low cargo space in the target lane;
[0061] If the second judgment result is that there is no vacant low cargo position with the same cargo information but there is an vacant double-extended cargo position, the cargo to be stored in the target lane will be allocated to the high cargo position in the vacant double-extended cargo position.
[0062] Furthermore, when it is determined above that there is no vacant low cargo position with the same cargo information but there are multiple vacant double-extend cargo positions, if it is determined that there is an vacant double-extend cargo position where cargo with the same cargo information has been placed in a historical time period, then in the target aisle, the cargo to be stored is allocated to the high cargo position in the corresponding vacant target double-extend cargo position.
[0063] In some embodiments, the cargo storage information of the cargo to be shipped out in the current shipping task may also be obtained, which includes the cargo location and the cargo quantity;
[0064] Send a cargo outbound task to the stacker corresponding to the cargo location, so that the stacker can outbound the cargo from the double-extended cargo location corresponding to the cargo location according to the cargo quantity. The cargo outbound task includes the cargo location and the cargo quantity, specifically:
[0065] If the cargo position of the goods to be shipped is the lower cargo position in the double-extended cargo position, and the quantity of the goods is the same as the quantity of the goods on the lower cargo position, a cargo shipping task is sent to the stacker corresponding to the cargo position, so that the stacker can ship out the goods to be shipped on the lower cargo position in the double-extended cargo position corresponding to the cargo position;
[0066] If the cargo position of the goods to be shipped out is the lower cargo position in the double-extended cargo position, and the quantity of goods is less than the quantity of goods on the lower cargo position, a cargo shipping task is sent to the stacker corresponding to the cargo position, and the cargo position status of the lower cargo position is updated to the temporary retention status;
[0067] Afterwards, after the stacker has processed the goods on the lower cargo position of the double-extended cargo position corresponding to the cargo position out of the warehouse according to the quantity of goods, the position of the lower cargo position in the temporary retention state is sent to the stacker, so that the stacker can allocate the remaining goods to the lower cargo position in the temporary retention state;
[0068] If the cargo position of the goods to be shipped out is the high cargo position in the double-extended cargo position, and the quantity of the goods is the same as the quantity of the goods on the high cargo position, then when there is an empty double-extended cargo position on other shelves in the aisle corresponding to the cargo position or there is an empty double-extended cargo position at the same level as the cargo position, a cargo shipping task is sent to the stacker corresponding to the cargo position, so that the stacker moves the goods in the low cargo position in the double-extended cargo position corresponding to the cargo position to the high cargo position in the empty double-extended cargo position, and performs shipping processing on the goods in the high cargo position in the double-extended cargo position corresponding to the cargo position;
[0069] If the cargo location of the goods to be shipped out is the high cargo location in the double-extend cargo location, and the quantity of goods is less than the quantity of goods on the high cargo location, then when there is an empty double-extend cargo location on other shelves in the aisle corresponding to the cargo location or there is an empty double-extend cargo location at the same level as the cargo location, a cargo shipping task is sent to the stacker corresponding to the cargo location, so that the stacker moves the goods in the low cargo location in the double-extend cargo location corresponding to the cargo location to the high cargo location in the empty double-extend cargo location; and after the stacker performs the shipping process for the goods on the high cargo location in the double-extend cargo location corresponding to the cargo location, the position of the low cargo location in the empty double-extend cargo location is sent to the stacker, so that the stacker allocates the remaining goods to the low cargo location in the empty double-extend cargo location.
[0070] In some embodiments, the location of the goods to be counted in the current inventory task may also be obtained;
[0071] If the cargo position of the goods to be counted is the low cargo position in the double-extended cargo position, a cargo counting task is sent to the stacker corresponding to the cargo position, and the cargo position status of the low cargo position is updated to the temporary retention status;
[0072] Afterwards, after the stacker performs outbound processing on the goods to be counted in the lower cargo position of the double-extended cargo position corresponding to the cargo position, the position of the lower cargo position in the temporary retention state is sent to the stacker, so that the stacker puts the goods to be counted into the lower cargo position in the temporary retention state;
[0073] If the cargo location of the goods to be counted is the high cargo location in the double-extended cargo location, then when there is an empty double-extended cargo location on other shelves in the aisle corresponding to the cargo location or there is an empty double-extended cargo location at the same level as the cargo location, a cargo inventory task is sent to the stacker corresponding to the cargo location;
[0074] Afterwards, the stacker moves the goods in the high position of the double-extend cargo position corresponding to the cargo position to the high position of the vacant double-extend cargo position, and after the goods to be counted in the low position of the double-extend cargo position corresponding to the cargo position are processed for outbound delivery, the position of the low position in the vacant double-extend cargo position is sent to the stacker, so that the stacker can warehouse the goods to be counted into the low position of the vacant double-extend cargo position.
[0075] The following are examples of warehousing, outbound and outbound inventory:
[0076] Storage Example 1:
[0077] When using the programming logic of the storage location management of the double-extending storage locations in the intelligent high-bay warehouse of this application, two cargo pallets with the same batch number and specification enter the high-bay warehouse area at the same time, and the WMS system automatically searches for two rows of high and low storage locations in the same column and on the same floor of the same aisle that are idle.
[0078] In the No. 1 stacker lane, there is a vacancy in the same high and low storage positions in the 1st row and the 2nd row, and the two pallets enter the high storage position of the 1st row and the 2nd row, and the low storage position of the 2nd row. In this way, two pallets with the same batch of goods can enter the same row and the same layer of high and low storage positions, avoiding the waste of storage positions.
[0079] If there is no free cargo space in the same lane, the WMS system will search for a stacker with more free cargo space in the same lane according to the principle of balanced allocation, and allocate cargo space for warehousing. First allocate to a high cargo space, and if there are materials with the same batch number and the same material entering the warehouse again, allocate to a low cargo space with the same material and batch number, so as to improve the utilization rate of cargo space.
[0080] Storage Example 2:
[0081] When using the programming logic of the storage location management of the double-extending storage locations in the intelligent high-bay warehouse of this application, when the first loaded pallet enters the high-bay warehouse area, the WMS system automatically searches for two rows of high and low storage locations in the same column and on the same floor of the same aisle that are free.
[0082] If there is a vacant high and low storage position on a certain level in the 02 column of the 1st row and the 2nd row in the No. 1 stacker lane, the first pallet enters the high storage position of the 02 column of the 1st row, and the second pallet of the same product specification and batch number enters the high-bay storage area, and the WMS system automatically assigns the second pallet to the low storage position on the same level of the 02 column of the 2nd row. In this way, two pallets of the same batch of products can enter the high and low storage positions on the same level of the same row, avoiding waste of storage positions.
[0083] Inventory outsourcing example 1:
[0084] When using the programming logic of the storage location management of the double-extended storage location in the intelligent high-bay warehouse of this application, there is cargo in the high and low storage locations of the 1st and 2nd rows of the 02 columns in the 1st stacker lane. When the low storage location of the 2nd row of the 02 column is counted out of the warehouse, the WMS system automatically reserves this storage location, that is, changes the storage location status. After the inventory is completed, the cargo pallet is put into the warehouse again, and the WMS system automatically allocates the pallet to the low storage location of the same layer of the 2nd row of the 02 column. In this way, two cargo pallets of the same batch of specifications can enter the high and low storage locations of the same column and layer, avoiding waste of storage locations.
[0085] Inventory outsourcing example 2:
[0086] When using the programming logic of the storage location management of the double-extended storage location in the intelligent high-bay warehouse of this application, there are goods in the same high and low storage locations in the 02 columns of the 1st and 2nd rows in the No. 1 stacker lane. When taking inventory of the high storage location of the 02 column of the 1st row, the WMS system first moves the low storage location of the 02 column of the 2nd row to the high storage location of the 02 column of the 04th row (if the high and low storage locations of the 02 columns of the 03rd and 04th rows are both vacant). When the pallet carrying the high storage location of the 02 column of the 1st row enters the warehouse again, the WMS system automatically allocates the pallet to the low storage location of the 02 column of the 3rd row. In this way, two pallets carrying goods of the same batch of specifications can enter the high and low storage locations of the same row and the same layer, avoiding the waste of storage locations.
[0087] Example 1 of delivery and outbound delivery:
[0088] When using the programming logic of the cargo location management of the double-extended cargo location in the intelligent high-bay warehouse of this application, there are goods in the same high and low cargo locations in the 02 column of the 1st row and the 2nd row in the No. 1 stacker lane. When the goods are shipped out of the warehouse, the low cargo location of the 02 column of the 2nd row, if the cargo location of this pallet is not a full pallet (i.e., it is shipped in pieces), the WMS system will make a judgment and automatically reserve this cargo location. After the delivery is completed, the WMS system will automatically allocate the pallet to the low cargo location of the same layer of the 02 column of the 2nd row when the cargo pallet is put into the warehouse again. In this way, two cargo pallets of the same batch of specifications can enter the high and low cargo locations of the same column and layer, avoiding waste of cargo locations.
[0089] Example 2 of delivery and outbound delivery:
[0090] When using the programming logic of the cargo location management of the double-extended cargo location in the intelligent high-bay warehouse of this application, there are goods in the high and low cargo locations of the 1st row and the 2nd row in the 1st stacker lane. When the high cargo location of the 1st row and 2nd row is shipped out of the warehouse, the WMS system first moves the low cargo location of the same layer of the 2nd row and 2nd row to a high cargo location of the 4th row and 2nd row (if a certain layer of the 02nd row and 03rd row and 04th row is vacant). When the cargo pallet of the high cargo location of the 1st row and 2nd row enters the warehouse again, if the cargo location of this pallet is not a whole pallet (i.e., zero), the WMS system will make a judgment and automatically allocate the pallet to the low cargo location of the same layer of the 3rd row and 2nd row.
