[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the first part of this application proposes a commodity sorting method based on a warehouse management system, comprising the following steps:

[0050] Step S1, input the information of the goods to be sorted, generate the barcode of the goods, and correspond each barcode of the goods to be sorted respectively; specifically, the following steps are included:

[0051] Step S11, input the models of all commodities to be sorted;

[0052] Step S12, generating a product barcode according to the model of the product to be sorted;

[0053] Step S13: associate each commodity to be sorted with each commodity barcode one by one.

[0054] Among them, before entering the models of all the goods to be sorted, the following methods can be used to improve the quality of the goods: all the goods to be sorted are subject to quality inspection; the goods that pass the quality inspection are inspected and accepted, which can improve the quality of the goods to be sorted and avoid sending defective goods to users. After passing the quality inspection, workers generate different product barcodes according to the models of the goods to be sorted. The same product barcode can be used for the same model of goods, which can improve work efficiency; the product barcode is attached to the outer surface of the corresponding product, so that each model of the goods to be sorted can be quickly distinguished.

[0055] After all the information of the goods to be sorted is entered, the goods to be sorted can be stored in the warehouse shelves according to the principle of maximum product relevance; this method can set the goods to be sorted that are not less than the probability threshold to a certain central area, thereby dividing the entire warehouse into several central areas, and placing the goods to be sorted in four different positions of a certain central area according to the principle of highest probability, and then forming several groups of goods to be sorted. The probability of a combination of goods to be sorted being shipped out of the warehouse within the group of goods to be sorted is relatively high, and the probability of a combination of goods to be sorted being shipped out of the warehouse between different groups of goods to be sorted is relatively low. Therefore, the goods to be sorted that are entering the warehouse can be placed in the groups to be sorted with high probability, which greatly improves the efficiency of warehouse managers in performing outbound work.

[0056] Step S2, obtaining orders to be shipped, binding each order to be shipped with a corresponding sorting basket to form a unique association, wherein the order to be shipped records the product model and quantity; specifically comprising the following steps:

[0057] Step S21, generating unique sorting basket barcodes in sequence according to the sorting basket order;

[0058] Step S22, binding each order to be shipped out with the corresponding sorting basket barcode.

[0059] After the user places an order on the online shopping platform, the relevant order data will be transmitted to the warehouse management system to generate an order to be shipped. Before sorting, a unique sorting basket barcode can be attached to each sorting basket according to the placement of the sorting basket; during sorting, the order to be shipped can be retrieved first, and the sorting basket barcode can be scanned by a barcode scanner. The sorting basket barcode will be bound to the product model and data recorded in the order to be shipped, so that the sorting basket is associated with the order to be shipped one by one. Workers can quickly find the information of the order to be shipped through the sorting basket.

[0060] Step S3, reading the sorting basket information, parsing the commodity model and quantity associated with the sorting basket, and placing the corresponding commodity into the sorting basket; specifically includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S31, scanning the sorting basket barcode corresponding to the sorting basket;

[0062] Step S32, obtaining the product model and quantity recorded in the to-be-shipped order associated with the sorting basket;

[0063] Step S33, putting all the commodities to be sorted from the storage locations of the warehouse shelves into the sorting basket.

[0064] When workers pick up goods, they can use a scanner to scan the sorting basket barcode on the sorting basket and read the electronic information stored in the sorting basket barcode. The warehouse management system can quickly find the associated orders to be shipped based on the electronic information on the sorting basket, and display the product model and quantity recorded in the orders to be shipped on the display screen. Workers take the goods from the warehouse shelves according to the displayed content and put them into the corresponding sorting basket.

[0065] In order to avoid errors in the goods picked up by workers, re-inspection can be carried out: the sorting baskets containing goods are distributed to the re-inspection area, the sorting basket barcode on the sorting basket is scanned first, the related order to be shipped is retrieved from the warehouse management system, the product model and quantity are displayed on the display screen, and the worker randomly scans the product barcodes of all the goods in the sorting basket. When all the scanned goods are exactly the same as the goods on the display screen, it means that the order to be shipped is correct, and the subsequent process can be carried out. If they are not completely consistent, such as missing or extra goods, it means that the order to be shipped is wrong, and it is necessary to return to step S3 to replenish or pick up goods from the storage location.

[0066] Step S4, packing and shipping the goods in the sorting basket; specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S41, taking a packaging box;

[0068] Step S42, putting all the commodities in the sorting basket into a packaging box and sealing it;

[0069] Step S43, transporting the sealed goods to the logistics system for distribution according to the delivery information.

[0070] Among them, when the order to be shipped is exactly the same as the goods in the sorting basket, the shipping information recorded in the order to be shipped can be printed out, and the shipping information records the consignee's name, telephone number, address and mailing method. Then take the matching packaging box and attach the shipping information to the front of the packaging box; a buffer can be placed in the packaging box, and then all the goods in the sorting basket are put in, and then the opening of the packaging box is sealed with tape and sent to the area to be shipped; the shipping personnel delivers the consignee's name, telephone number and address recorded in the order to be shipped to the logistics system for delivery.

[0071] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the second part of the present application proposes a commodity sorting system based on a warehouse management system, including an input module 1, a binding module 2, a sorting module 3 and a delivery module 4; the input module 1 and the binding module 2 are both connected to the sorting module 3, and the sorting module 3 is connected to the delivery module 4. The input module 1 can input the information of the commodities to be sorted, generate commodity barcodes, and correspond each commodity to be sorted with each commodity barcode respectively; the binding module 2 can obtain the orders to be shipped, bind each order to be shipped with the corresponding sorting basket, and form a unique association, and the order to be shipped records the commodity model and quantity; the sorting module 3 can read the sorting basket information, parse the commodity model and quantity associated with the sorting basket, and match the commodity model and quantity in the sorting basket with the commodity model and quantity in the order to be shipped; the delivery module 4 can pack and ship the commodities in the sorting basket.

[0072] In this commodity sorting system, the input module 1 can use an image device, a printer and a computer, which can quickly collect the information of the commodities to be sorted and enter it into the computer. The information of the commodities to be sorted can also be printed into commodity barcodes through the printer, and each commodity barcode is pasted on the corresponding commodities to be sorted. The binding module 2 can use a computer, a keyboard, a mouse, a printer and a handheld barcode scanner. The order to be shipped is retrieved from the warehouse management system of the computer through the keyboard and mouse, and the sorting basket barcode is printed out through the printer, and the sorting basket barcode is pasted on the corresponding sorting basket. The electronic information in the picking basket barcode is read through the handheld barcode scanner, and after being transmitted to the computer, the sorting basket is associated with the order to be shipped one by one through the binding algorithm. The sorting module 3 can use a handheld barcode scanner, a computer and a manipulator. The barcode information of each sorting basket can be read through the handheld barcode scanner and wirelessly transmitted to the computer. The warehouse management system quickly finds the associated commodity model and quantity according to the transmitted information, and the corresponding commodity in the storage location can be put into the sorting basket through the manipulator. The delivery module 4 may use a transport vehicle and a logistics system, and the packaged goods may be transported to the logistics system for delivery by the transport vehicle.
