[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0040] Unless otherwise specified, descriptions such as “first” and “second” in the present disclosure are used to distinguish different objects and are not used to indicate meanings such as size or time sequence.

[0041] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for processing a collection list according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for processing the collection list of this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0043] In step 210, relevant preprocessing is performed on the collection list.

[0044] In some embodiments, preprocessing includes, for example, but is not limited to: pre-occupying the outbound shipment in the inventory according to each item and quantity in the collection list, thereby timely updating the inventory information to prevent out-of-stock or competing with the incoming module for inventory.

[0045] In some embodiments, the preprocessing may include but is not limited to: setting an initial priority of each item in the collection list, and the subsequent collection list processing process may recalculate the priority of each item. The initial priority of each item in the collection list may be set to the priority of the collection list.

[0046] In step 220, a first set list is selected, and at least one workstation and slot corresponding to the first set list is determined.

[0047] In some embodiments, selecting the first set list includes: sorting multiple set lists to be processed according to the priority of the set lists, and determining the set list with the highest priority among the multiple set lists to be processed as the first set list. The first set list is also the main set list to be processed currently. After the current first set list is processed, other set lists that meet the conditions are upgraded to become new first set lists. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the selection of the first set list (main set list).

[0048] The priority of the collection list is determined based on at least one of the reference information of the creation time and urgency of the collection list. For example, the earlier the collection list is created, the higher the priority, and the more urgent it is, the higher the priority. During implementation, a weighted sum of multiple reference information can be performed to comprehensively determine the priority of the collection list.

[0049] A workstation can be configured to produce multiple slots, that is, a workstation supports picking multiple collection orders at the same time, and a workstation slot can correspond to multiple order types. This solution stipulates that a collection order can be bound to multiple workstations at the same time, and different slots of each workstation can be bound to different collection orders.

[0050] In some embodiments, determining at least one workstation and slot corresponding to the first collection order includes: if the type of the workstation is a picking type, the status of the workstation is available, the type of the slot of the workstation is consistent with the document type of the first collection order, and the slot is not bound to the first collection order, determining the workstation and the slot as the workstation and slot corresponding to the first collection order. Thus, the collection order is bound to the workstation and slot corresponding to it. Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing the binding of a collection sheet to its corresponding workstation and slot.

[0051] In step 230, all items in the first set list are aggregated to determine the first item therein.

[0052] In some embodiments, all items in the first collection order are aggregated based on the SKU dimension, thereby obtaining all SKUs in the first collection order.

[0053] In some embodiments, all items in the first set list are sorted in descending order of priority; the currently unprocessed item with the highest priority is determined as the first item. The first item is also called a seed item. After the current seed item is processed, other items that meet the conditions are upgraded to become new seed items.

[0054] In some embodiments, the priority of the items is determined according to the number of shelves where the items are located, thereby re-determining the priority of the items in the collection list, wherein the fewer the number of shelves where the items are located, the higher the priority of the items.

[0055] In step 240, the first shelf of the first item in the first collection list is determined by locating the shelf by item.

[0056] Since there may be multiple shelves where the first item is located, it is necessary to determine the first shelf where the first item is located.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first shelf for the first item in the first collection list is determined based on the picking cost of the shelf where the first item is located. For example, the shelf with the smallest picking cost among the shelves where the first item is located is determined as the first shelf for the first item.

[0058] In some embodiments, determining the picking cost of the shelf where the first item is located includes: determining the picking cost of the shelf where the first item is located based on one or more of the relationship cost between the demand for the first item and the shelf's satisfaction of the first item, and the distance cost between the shelf where the first item is located and the workstation.

[0059] For example, Cost = Cost1 (demand, satisfaction) × Weight 1 + Cost2 (shelf, workstation) × Weight 2, where Cost represents the picking cost of the shelf where the first item is located, Cost1 (demand, satisfaction) represents the relationship cost between the demand for the first item and the shelf's satisfaction of the first item, and Cost2 (shelf, workstation) represents the distance cost between the shelf where the first item is located and the workstation.

[0060] In some embodiments, determining the relationship cost between the demand for the first item and the shelf's satisfaction of the first item includes: if the demand for the first item is equal to the shelf's satisfaction of the first item, the demand for the first item and the shelf's satisfaction of the first item are the first relationship cost; if the demand for the first item is greater than the shelf's satisfaction of the first item, the demand for the first item and the shelf's satisfaction of the first item are the second relationship cost; if the demand for the first item is less than the shelf's satisfaction of the first item, the demand for the first item and the shelf's satisfaction of the first item are the third relationship cost; wherein the first relationship cost is less than the second relationship cost, and the second relationship cost is less than the third relationship cost. This strategy allows more shelves to be cleared after picking.

[0061] In some embodiments, determining the distance cost between the shelf where the first item is located and the workstation includes: for example, using a Dijkstra algorithm to calculate the distance between the shelf where the first item is located and the workstation, and determining the distance cost according to the distance, for example, using the normalized distance as the distance cost. The smaller the distance, the smaller the distance cost.

[0062] In step 250, other items in the collection list are reversely located through the shelves, and step 250a is executed, or steps 250a and 250b are executed according to business needs.

[0063] In step 250a, the second item in the first set list included in the first shelf is determined. The second item is the other item in the first set list included in the first shelf except the first item. Thus, the other items in the same set list except the first item are reversely located through the shelf.

[0064] In step 250b, the third item in at least one second set list included in the first shelf is determined. The third item is the other item in at least one second set list included in the first shelf except the first item. Thus, the other items except the first item in different set lists are reversely located by the shelf.

[0065] Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing the reverse positioning of other items in the collection list through the shelf. As shown in the figure, the first item sku1 in the collection list 1 corresponds to the shelf 1. Through reverse positioning, it is determined that the shelf 1 also includes sku4 and sku5 in the collection list 1, and the shelf 1 also includes sku6 in the collection list 2.

[0066] In step 260, determine all items included in a picking task for the first shelf. If the aforementioned reverse positioning is performed in step 250a, it is determined that a picking task for the first shelf includes the first item and the second item. If the aforementioned reverse positioning is performed in steps 250a and 250b, it is determined that a picking task for the first shelf includes the first item, the second item and the third item.

[0067] Thus, the picking task of the SKU located for the first time and the picking task of the SKU located in the reverse direction are combined into a group of picking tasks as the picking tasks for the shelf. Figure 5 As shown, the picking task of sku1 located for the first time and the picking tasks of sku4, sku5, and sku6 located in the reverse direction are combined into a group of picking tasks as the picking task of shelf 1.

[0068] In step 270, the picking task of the first shelf is assigned to one of the destination workstations and destination slots among the at least one workstation and slot corresponding to the first collection order.

[0069] In some embodiments, according to the available cache positions and working status of each workstation corresponding to the first set list, a destination workstation and a destination slot are determined in real time from at least one workstation and slot corresponding to the first set list, so that the picking task of the first shelf can be processed as soon as possible.

[0070] In step 280, a transport task is sent to the automated guided vehicle to instruct the automated guided vehicle to transport the first shelf to the destination workstation. The destination workstation completes the picking of all related items in the collection list in the picking task of the first shelf. Figure 5 As shown, the picking of sku1, sku4, sku5, and sku6 of shelf 1 is completed at the destination workstation.

[0071] In the disclosed embodiment, the various items included in the picking task of the shelf are comprehensively determined through the item positioning shelf and other items in the shelf reverse positioning collection list, and the picking task of the shelf is then assigned to a workstation and slot, so that all items that should be picked in a shelf can be picked at one time, and the shelf only needs to be moved once. Compared with a shelf being assigned multiple picking tasks and needing to be moved multiple times, the picking efficiency and transportation efficiency are improved, and the problem of different picking tasks competing for the same shelf is avoided.

[0072] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure can not only reversely position other items in the same collection list on the shelves, but also reversely position other items in different collection lists on the shelves, further improving the picking efficiency and the handling efficiency. It can not only avoid the problem of different picking tasks competing for the same shelf for the same collection list, but also avoid the problem of different picking tasks competing for the same shelf for different collection lists.
