The traditional cargo location management method dominated by manual experience is inefficient and error-prone, and may cause the shelves to collapse due to overloading. With the development of information technology, although rule-based cargo location recommendation systems have emerged, these systems are not flexible enough when faced with complex and changing storage needs. Especially in large-scale warehouse operations with a wide variety of materials, the limitations of preset rules affect the optimization of cargo location allocation. At the same time, the lack of advanced optimization algorithms has failed to maximize the utilization of warehouse space, and often cannot provide sufficient personalized support.
