[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments in the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The following will be combined with Figures 1 - 3 to describe the automatic complete set and goods allocation method of the present invention.

[0028] The automatic complete set and goods allocation method mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the goods allocation module in the WMS system. Figure 1 is one of the flow diagrams of the automatic complete set and goods allocation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following: Step 101, obtain a goods order, and extract the complete set type of the parent part in the goods order; the complete set type includes material number complete set and serial number complete set.

[0029] Step 102: According to the extracted information, in combination with the preset part number matching rule and serial number matching rule, match each sub-part of the parent part in the inventory information.

[0030] Step 103: Generate an outbound task based on the matching result; the outbound task includes the identification information of each sub-part, and this identification information may include data information such as part number, unique serial number, part name, quantity, etc.

[0031] Among the goods in the goods order, there are complete set goods and non-complete set goods. For example, the mattress is a non-complete set good, while the modular sofa is a complete set good. The modular sofa needs to have all its sub-parts complete before it can be shipped as one good. Since complete set goods like the modular sofa are composed of multiple sub-parts, we call the complete set goods the parent part. In the embodiment of the present invention, the complete set type of each good in the goods order is marked (in addition, the serial number complete set also marks the serial number, user identification, etc., which will be involved later). By extracting the complete set type of the complete set goods (parent part) in the goods order, and according to the complete set type of the good, based on the corresponding pre-set complete set rules, the specific complete set rules are the part number complete set rule and the serial number complete set rule, match the complete set goods in the inventory information. The entire goods allocation process is efficient and automated, without manual operation, and can be connected and matched with the intelligent automated storage system with the same high efficiency.

[0032] It can be understood that the so-called part number complete set rule is mainly a rule for complete set matching based on the part numbers of the parts, and the serial number complete set rule is mainly a rule for complete set matching based on the serial numbers of the parts (including the parent part and sub-parts).

[0033] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, for complete set goods, if all of its sub-parts can be matched in the inventory information, the system will generate an outbound task; otherwise, an outbound task cannot be generated.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, if the kit type of the complete set of goods (parent item) is the material number set, the material codes of each sub-item constituting the complete set of goods (parent item) are determined according to the bill of materials of the complete set of goods. Then, based on the material codes, each sub-item is matched in the inventory information. Specifically, if a complete set of goods (parent item) includes 5 sub-items, then according to the bill of materials of the complete set of goods, the material codes corresponding to these 5 sub-items can be retrieved. For example, these 5 material codes are: 90.GN.170.1041, 90.GN.170.1453, 90.GN.170.1762, 90.GN.170.1634, 90.GN.170.1523, 90.GN.170.1654. Then, based on these 5 material codes, a match is made in the inventory information, that is, to search whether there are 5 material codes in the inventory information. If so, the sub-items corresponding to these 5 material codes complete the kit matching for the complete set of goods.

[0035] It should be noted that the inventory information stores the components in the inventory and the identification information of the components. For example, for a complete set of goods - a certain functional sofa, its kit type belongs to the material number set. The functional sofa is composed of a seat sub-item and a backrest sub-item. If there are two seat sub-items and one backrest sub-item in the inventory, then there will be relevant identifications of these three sub-items in the inventory information, as shown in Table 1.

[0036] Table 1 Display of inventory information corresponding to sub-items of goods with material number sets

[0037] In the embodiments of the present invention, when there are multiple sub-items corresponding to a certain sub-item material code in the inventory information, that is, the quantity of a certain sub-item in the inventory is multiple. Specifically, refer to Table 1. Each row represents the identification of a component (here it is a sub-item). For the sub-item "LZF.521~a pair (manual + G142246) seat", its quantity is two, and the corresponding sub-item material code, parent item material code, sub-item name, and parent item name of these identifications are the same. Similarly, when we see that there are multiple sub-item material codes, the corresponding parent item material codes, sub-item names, and the same information of the corresponding parent item names in the inventory information, it means that the quantity of this sub-item in the inventory is multiple. It should be noted that in the inventory information, we can use the serial number to identify and distinguish these sub-items. For example, for the seat sub-item in Table 1, the sub-item material codes, the corresponding parent item material codes, sub-item names, and parent item names of the two seat sub-items are the same, but the sub-item serial numbers are different.

[0038] It should be noted that when all sub-components of a goods with complete material numbers can be matched in the inventory information, an outbound task is generated. However, if multiple pieces of a certain sub-component can be matched in the inventory information, one piece can be randomly selected at this time, and the outbound task will include the identification information of each selected sub-component, as shown in Table 1. Of course, it may not be exactly the same as the content in Table 1, but it needs to include the identification information of the sub-component material code.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, as mentioned above, in addition to indicating the complete set type, the commodity order also indicates the user identification and the commodity number. If the complete set type of the complete set commodity (parent part) is serial number complete set, then according to the commodity (parent part) number and the user identification, the commodity (parent part) serial number is determined, and then according to the parent part serial number, the corresponding production mode of the parent part is determined to determine whether the commodity (parent part) belongs to a single-piece flow complete set commodity or a non-single-piece flow complete set commodity. After that, each sub-component is matched in the inventory information according to the matching rules of the single-piece flow complete set commodity or the non-single-piece flow complete set commodity.

[0040] It should be noted that the user identification can be a name, or a code or number indicating the name, as long as it is an identification that can distinguish users, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0041] The matching rules of the single-piece flow complete set commodity or the non-single-piece flow complete set commodity will be introduced below.

[0042] The markings of the sub-components of the single-piece flow complete set commodity in the inventory information are shown in Table 2. Each row represents a sub-component. Taking a soft bed commodity as an example, the soft bed commodity (parent part) belongs to the single-piece flow complete set in the serial number complete set commodity, and it includes three sub-components: the head of the bed, the head and tail of the bed, and the slat. Each sub-component has the following identifications in the inventory information: sub-component material code, sub-component name, the material code of the parent part to which it belongs, the name of the parent part to which it belongs, sub-component serial number, and the serial number of the parent part to which it belongs.

[0043] Table 2 Display of the inventory information corresponding to the sub-components of the single-piece flow complete set type commodity In some embodiments of the present invention, if the commodity belongs to the single-piece flow complete set type among the serial number complete set commodities, then based on the parent serial number and the material code, each sub-component is matched in the inventory information. Specifically, taking a soft bed as an example, referring to Table 2, the parent serial number of the soft bed is 90.BY.B201.C111100-0001, and the material codes of the three sub-components of the soft bed (parent component), namely the headboard, the bedside and the bed tail, and the slat, are 90.BY.B201.0302.C111100, 90.BY.B201.0A01.C111100, and 90.BY.B201.0424.C111100 respectively. When matching in the inventory information, first search for and match the parent serial number 90.BY.B201.C111100-0001 in the inventory information, and then among the sub-components with the parent serial number 90.BY.B201.C111100-0001, match the sub-components with the material numbers 90.BY.B201.0302.C111100, 90.BY.B201.0A01.C111100, and 90.BY.B201.0424.C111100 respectively. If all can be matched, it means that the soft bed commodity is complete.

[0044] It should be noted that when each sub-component of the serial number complete set commodity can be matched in the inventory information, an outbound task is generated. However, if a certain sub-component can be matched with multiple pieces in the inventory information, for example, as shown in Table 2, each sub-component of the soft bed commodity can be matched with two pieces in the inventory information. At this time, one piece can be randomly selected from them. That is, the headboard sub-component can select one from the sub-component serial numbers HGX2312040003001 / 1 and HGX2312040003001 / 4, the bedside and bed tail sub-component can select one from the sub-component serial numbers HGX2312040003001 / 2 and HGX2312040003001 / 5, and the slat sub-component can select one from the sub-component serial numbers HGX2312040003001 / 3 and HGX2312040003001 / 6. Specifically, for example, the three sub-components of the soft bed (parent component), namely the headboard, the bedside and the bed tail, and the slat, select the three pieces with the sub-component serial numbers HGX2312040003001 / 1, HGX2312040003001 / 5, and HGX2312040003001 / 3 respectively. Then the identification information of the sub-components included in the outbound task is as shown in Table 3. Of course, it may not be exactly the same as the content in Table 3, but it needs to include the identification information of the sub-component serial number.

[0045] Table 3 Example of the identification information of the sub-components included in the outbound task In some embodiments of the present invention, if the commodity belongs to the non-single-piece flow complete set type among the serial number complete set commodities, the serial numbers of each sub-component are determined according to the serial number of the parent component; based on the serial numbers of each sub-component, each sub-component is matched in the inventory information.

[0046] The marking method of the non-single-piece flow complete set type commodities in the inventory information is shown in Table 4. Each parent component of such non-single-piece flow complete set commodities corresponds to only one set of sub-components. Taking the electric sofa commodity (parent component) in Table 4 as an example, the sub-components of the electric sofa commodity (parent component) are non-group, right electric, and left motor. The serial number of the parent component of this electric sofa commodity (parent component) is HGN2407250001903, and the serial numbers of the three sub-components of non-group, right electric, and left motor are HGN2407250001903 / 1, HGN2407250001903 / 2, and HGN2407250001903 / 3 respectively. For each non-single-piece flow complete set commodity, there is only a unique serial number for its sub-component. Taking the electric sofa commodity as an example, if each of the three sub-components of this electric sofa commodity exists in the inventory, then the content shown in Table 4 will appear in the inventory information. In this way, after we determine the parent serial number of the commodity according to the order information (parent component number, user identification), we search and match this parent serial number in the inventory information, screen out the sub-component entries marked with this parent serial number, and then check whether the screened entries are complete according to the serial numbers of the sub-components. For example, according to the pre-setting of the system, it is known that only HGN2407250001903 / 1, HGN2407250001903 / 2, and HGN2407250001903 / 3 these three sub-component serial numbers correspond to the parent serial number. Then we check whether these three sub-component serial numbers, HGN2407250001903 / 1, HGN2407250001903 / 2, and HGN2407250001903 / 3, exist in the screened entries. If so, it means that the parent component commodity, the electric sofa, can be complete, and an outbound task is generated. It should be noted that in the outbound task, the sub-component identification information shown in Table 4 will be included. Of course, it may not be exactly the same as the content in Table 4, but it needs to include the identification information of the parent component serial number or the sub-component serial number.

[0047] Table 4 Display of inventory information corresponding to sub-components of non-single-piece flow complete set type commodities It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present invention, for non-one-piece-flow complete sets of goods, the rule set by the system is that each non-one-piece-flow complete set of goods corresponds to its own unique parent part serial number. For example, the electric sofas ordered by user Zhang San and user Li Si are marked with different parent part serial numbers, and the electric sofas with leather fabric ordered by user Zhang San and the sofas with cloth fabric ordered by Zhang San are also marked with different parent part serial numbers. Even if Zhang San orders two identical electric sofas, Sofa 1 and Sofa 2, the parent part serial numbers marked on Sofa 1 and Sofa 2 are also different. We can distinguish each non-one-piece-flow complete set of goods according to the user identification and product number. For example, Zhang San01 refers to the electric sofa 1 ordered by Zhang San, and Zhang San02 refers to Sofa 2. The system will set different parent part serial numbers for Sofa 1 and Sofa 2 respectively.

[0048] It should be noted that in the inventory information, the difference between one-piece-flow complete sets of goods and non-one-piece-flow complete sets of goods is that a certain sub-part of one-piece-flow complete sets of goods may have multiple pieces, and each corresponds to its own sub-part serial number. As shown in Table 2, in the inventory information, there is a soft bed with the parent part serial number 90.BY.B201.C111100-0001. There are two headboards for this soft bed, and the corresponding sub-part serial numbers are HGX2312040003001 / 1 and HGX2312040003001 / 4 respectively. The main reason is that the numbering rules are different. For non-one-piece-flow complete sets of goods, each piece of goods corresponds to a unique parent part serial number, that is, even two completely identical (same in material, style, size, etc.) goods will have their own unique parent part serial number. For example, different parent part serial numbers are assigned to Sofa 1 and Sofa 2 respectively; while for one-piece-flow complete sets of goods, if two goods are completely identical, their parent part serial numbers will be the same.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, whether a good belongs to the one-piece-flow complete set type or the non-one-piece-flow complete set type is distinguished according to the (parent part) serial number of the good. In the automatic complete set distribution system provided in the embodiments of the present invention, we pre-set a distinction mark in the (parent part) serial number of the good, so that it can be determined whether the good belongs to the one-piece-flow complete set type or the non-one-piece-flow complete set type according to the (parent part) serial number of the good. Of course, other methods can also be used to distinguish between the one-piece-flow complete set type and the non-one-piece-flow complete set type. For example, a direct mark can be made on this type in the order, and this type of information can be directly extracted from the order. The present invention does not limit this.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, a goods order may include non-complete sets of goods. If the information extracted from the order indicates that the goods are non-complete sets, they can be directly matched in the inventory information according to the name and serial number of the non-complete sets of goods; and when the non-complete sets of goods can be matched in the inventory information, a warehouse-out task is generated. Table 5 shows the identification of the non-complete set of goods, the mattress, in the inventory information.

[0051] Table 5 Display of Inventory Information Corresponding to Non-Complete Sets of Goods The automatic complete-set matching and goods allocation method provided by the embodiments of the present invention will be introduced below by way of specific examples. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the specific working process of the goods allocation module of the WMS system is as follows: (1). According to the shipping time data in the appointment information transmitted by the TMS (Transportation Management System), the WMS system automatically adds the documents for goods allocation at the specified time to the goods allocation queue pool.

[0052] (2). The WMS polls the documents in the queue pool at all times and matches the inventory according to the requirements of the documents when the picking station is idle.

[0053] (3). Allocate the inventory data that meets the conditions according to the complete-set identification and complete-set type on the document. For complete-set goods such as mattresses, inventory allocation is required according to the material name, serial number, and quantity. For complete-set goods such as sofas and soft beds, a complete set needs to be matched before they can be warehoused out. The complete-set goods types are further divided into material number complete sets and serial number complete sets. For goods with material number complete sets, they can be warehoused out by randomly combining them into a set according to the BOM. For goods with serial number complete sets, the parent part serial numbers need to be the same before they can be warehoused out. Here, non-complete sets of goods are not allowed to be warehoused out. If the parent part serial number found for goods with serial number complete sets is a single-piece flow complete set of goods, first calculate the available inventory groups that meet the conditions for the single-piece flow, and allocate the inventory groups that meet the document requirements one by one. If the parent part serial number found is a non-single-piece flow complete set of goods, match the inventory according to the found parent part serial number. (The difference between single-piece flow and non-single-piece flow is that for non-single-piece flow, there is only a unique set that meets the conditions under one parent part, while for single-piece flow, there are multiple inventories that meet the conditions under the same parent part, and the program needs to automatically combine and calculate the inventories that meet the conditions.) (4). Find the appropriate inventory for goods allocation and warehousing out. The actions for goods allocation include: generating a warehouse-out task, updating the inventory, updating the storage location, updating the document status, updating the document quantity, and sending a handling instruction to the WCS (Warehouse Control System).

[0054] Among them, when the goods are shipped out, updating the inventory means deleting the shipped part identification entries from the inventory information.

[0055] An updated storage location means that during the process of handling and shipping, the container holding the components is removed by the handling equipment, and the storage location where it was located becomes empty. Or, all the components in the container are shipped out, and in this case, the container will not be put back to its original position, and the storage location where it was located also becomes empty.

[0056] Updating the document status means that after the goods on a certain document are completed in the goods allocation, the status of this document is updated to "allocated".

[0057] Updating the document quantity means updating the quantity of the remaining unallocated documents.
