[0074] Exemplary embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present application to assist in understanding, which should be considered in a descriptive sense only. Thus, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Also, for the sake of brevity and clarity, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted from the following description.

[0075] It should be noted that in the technical solutions of the present application, the collection, use, storage, sharing and transfer of user personal information involved in the processing comply with relevant laws and regulations, and the user needs to be informed and the user's consent or authorization needs to be obtained, and when applicable, the user's personal information is subjected to de-identification and / or anonymization and / or encryption technical processing.

[0076] The delivery order is obtained after screening and combining the user order according to the size of the volume of the carrier vehicle. The warehouse system positions and dispatches the goods stored in the warehouse according to the delivery order. In the case that the goods inventory cannot meet the demand of the delivery order, the goods need to be replenished. When replenishing the goods, the actual inventory of the goods and the delivery order determine the replenishment quantity of the goods, and the replenishment task is generated according to the replenishment quantity, and the staff replenishes the goods.

[0077] Replenishing the goods when needed for dispatching leads to low efficiency of warehouse replenishment, and a large number of replenishment tasks are easily generated in a short time, consuming a large amount of manpower and material resources, leading to wrong replenishment, missed replenishment, etc. Replenishing only according to the replenishment quantity leads to a single replenishment mode, which is not flexible enough and cannot meet the personalized replenishment demand.

[0078] Therefore, according to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a warehouse replenishment method is provided.

[0079] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the main flow of a warehouse replenishment method according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1As shown, the warehouse replenishment method according to the embodiment of the application mainly comprises the following steps S101 to S103.

[0080] In step S101, in response to detecting the insufficient inventory of the target item, the warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type of the target item are determined.

[0081] The execution subject of the embodiment of the application monitors the actual inventory of the items stored in the warehouse, judges whether the inventory of the items is sufficient, for example, a corresponding target inventory is set for each item in advance, and in the case that the actual inventory of the item is less than the target inventory, it is determined that the inventory of the item is insufficient, and the item with insufficient inventory is taken as the target item.

[0082] The warehouse information of the target item is the warehouse information for storing the target item, and for the target item, two warehouses are included, one is a source warehouse and one is a destination warehouse, the target item for replenishment is stored in the source warehouse, and the target item for outbound is stored in the destination warehouse, and the process of replenishment is to transfer the target item in the source warehouse to the destination warehouse, therefore, the warehouse information includes the warehouse information of the source warehouse and the warehouse information of the destination warehouse.

[0083] The consignee information of the target item is the information of the user who has the ownership of the target item, that is, the relevant information of the owner or provider of the target item. The consignee information is identifying, and is used to determine the target consignee associated with the target item.

[0084] A plurality of replenishment types are set in advance, for example, according to the replenishment amount of the item, the replenishment types are divided into: small amount replenishment and large amount replenishment; for another example, according to the item attribute, the replenishment types are divided into: electric appliance replenishment, clothing replenishment, food replenishment, etc. After the target item is determined, the replenishment type of the target item is determined according to the information such as the replenishment amount of the item and the item attribute.

[0085] After detecting the insufficient inventory of the target item, the warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type of the target item are obtained, in order to provide sufficient data basis for timely generating accurate replenishment tasks, facilitate flexible and efficient generation of replenishment tasks, and improve the replenishment efficiency.

[0086] In step S102, according to the warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type, the replenishment strategy of the target item is determined, and according to the replenishment strategy, the corresponding replenishment task is generated.

[0087] Different combinations of warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type correspond to different replenishment strategies. The warehouse information reflects the actual operation status of the warehouse. For example, the quantity of goods out of some warehouses is pre-set and does not need temporary replenishment, while the quantity of goods out of some other warehouses is irregular and occasionally needs temporary replenishment. Therefore, different warehouses correspond to different replenishment strategies, and the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application pre-sets multiple replenishment strategies and associates the replenishment strategies with different warehouses.

[0088] The consignee information reflects the information of the target goods. For example, some consignees store and sell multiple goods in combination, and when replenishing the target goods, the other goods in the combination where the target goods are located also need to be replenished to ensure that the storage and sales of the goods meet the needs of the consignee. Therefore, different consignees correspond to different replenishment strategies, and the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application pre-sets multiple replenishment strategies and associates the replenishment strategies with different consignees.

[0089] Different replenishment types also correspond to different replenishment strategies. For example, each replenishment type has a corresponding priority, and in the case of multiple replenishment types, the replenishment tasks corresponding to the replenishment types with higher priority need to be executed first, and then the replenishment tasks corresponding to the replenishment types with lower priority are executed. The execution subject of the embodiment of the present application pre-sets multiple replenishment strategies and associates the replenishment strategies with different replenishment types.

[0090] A replenishment strategy master table is pre-set, which includes warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type, and corresponding replenishment strategies. After the above information of the target goods is determined, the replenishment strategy master table is queried to determine the replenishment strategy corresponding to the target goods. Each combination of warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type corresponds to a replenishment strategy. It should be noted that the association between the warehouse information, consignee information, replenishment type and replenishment strategy is configurable, and the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application adds new warehouse information, consignee information, replenishment type and replenishment strategy, deletes original warehouse information, consignee information, replenishment type and replenishment strategy, and modifies the association between the above information according to the received update request.

[0091] A replenishment task corresponding to the replenishment strategy is generated. The replenishment task includes the name of the target goods, the replenishment quantity, the source warehouse, the destination warehouse, the replenishment time, the transportation mode, the replenishment sequence, the latest replenishment deadline, the matters needing attention and the like.

[0092] According to the warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type, the replenishment strategy master table is queried to determine the corresponding replenishment strategy. According to the replenishment strategy, accurate replenishment tasks can be generated to meet the diversified and personalized replenishment needs, and the replenishment efficiency, accuracy and flexibility can be improved.

[0093] In step S103, the replenishment task is issued, so that a user receiving the replenishment task replenishes the target item according to the replenishment task.

[0094] After the replenishment task is generated, the operation system of the warehouse worker is issued with the replenishment task, so that the worker receives the replenishment task and completes the replenishment operation of the target item. Illustratively, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application acquires the working states of multiple workers, selects a target worker in an idle state from the multiple workers, sends the replenishment task to a server used by the target worker, and sends an email, a short message, a voice, or the like to the target worker, prompting the target worker to timely process the replenishment task.

[0095] The replenishment task is issued, and the worker is prompted to execute the replenishment task in multiple ways, which can further improve the execution efficiency of the replenishment task.

[0096] The insufficient inventory of the target item is for a target warehouse corresponding to the target item, specifically, the insufficient inventory of the target item in the target warehouse. According to an embodiment of the present application, the insufficient inventory of the target item includes that the outbound demand of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item, that is, the outbound demand of the target item is less than the actual inventory of the target item in the target warehouse. Specifically, the execution subject of the embodiment of the present application receives a dispatch order sent by an order system, the dispatch order includes multiple orders, each order includes one or more items to be shipped and the quantity (i.e., the outbound demand) of the item, iterates the dispatch order, and determines the outbound demand of each item in the dispatch order. In the case that the outbound demand of the item is greater than the actual inventory of the item, the item is taken as the target item, and it is determined that the target item is insufficient. In the case that the outbound demand of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item, the replenishment type of the target item is taken as a first replenishment type; since the target item needs to be shipped as soon as possible, the first replenishment type is also called an urgent replenishment type, and the replenishment task of the urgent replenishment type should be executed as soon as possible.

[0097] The inventory shortage of the target item includes that the expected demand of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item, that is, the expected demand of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item in the target warehouse. Specifically, the delivery order has a corresponding delivery date, and the execution subject of the embodiment of the application traverses the delivery order that has not been delivered every interval of time, determines the total amount (that is, the expected demand) of each item in the delivery order, and the expected demand is the quantity of the item that needs to be delivered in the future interval of time. In the case where the expected demand of the item is greater than the actual inventory of the item, the item is taken as the target item, and it is determined that the target item is in inventory shortage. In the case where the expected demand of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item, the replenishment type of the target item is taken as a second replenishment type; since this replenishment is triggered based on the order pool of the item, the second replenishment type is also called an order pool replenishment type, and the replenishment task belonging to the order pool replenishment type is a kind of advance replenishment and periodic replenishment. The second replenishment type is a supplement to the first replenishment type.

[0098] The inventory shortage of the target item includes that the safety inventory of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item, that is, the safety inventory of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item in the target warehouse. Specifically, the minimum inventory and the safety inventory days of each item are set in advance; the execution subject of the embodiment of the application obtains the minimum inventory and the safety inventory days of the item every interval of time, makes a sales forecast of the item to obtain the expected sales of the item, and determines the safety inventory of the item according to the minimum inventory, the safety inventory days and the expected sales of the item. For example, the safety inventory of the item is obtained by adding the minimum inventory and the expected sales. In the case where the safety inventory of the item is greater than the actual inventory of the item, the item is taken as the target item, and it is determined that the target item is in inventory shortage. In the case where the safety inventory of the target item is greater than the actual inventory of the target item, the replenishment type of the target item is taken as a third replenishment type. The third replenishment type is also called an intelligent replenishment type, and the replenishment task belonging to the intelligent replenishment type is a kind of advance replenishment and periodic replenishment. The third replenishment type is a supplement to the second replenishment type.

[0099] The replenishment task is divided into multiple replenishment types, which can more flexibly and accurately generate the replenishment task, and facilitate to improve the warehouse replenishment efficiency and accuracy.

[0100] According to another reference embodiment of the application, the replenishment task of the first replenishment type is taken as a first replenishment task, the replenishment task of the second replenishment type is taken as a second replenishment task, and the replenishment task of the third replenishment type is taken as a third replenishment task.

[0101] Before the replenishment task is issued, the method further comprises: determining whether there is a replenishment task of the target item belonging to a different replenishment type. For example, each replenishment task is associated with one or more items, and according to the association relationship, the replenishment task corresponding to the target item is queried.

[0102] In the case where there is a replenishment task of the target item belonging to a different replenishment type, the third replenishment task of the target item is converted into the second replenishment task of the target item, and the second replenishment task of the target item is converted into the first replenishment task of the target item. By converting the replenishment task, the merging of the replenishment task is realized. Exemplarily, the third replenishment task of the target item includes “{‘sku’:‘item1’;‘count’:‘10’;‘tasktType’:‘3’}”, wherein “‘sku’:‘item1’” represents the number of the target item as “item1”, “‘count’:‘10’” represents the replenishment quantity of the replenishment task as 10, and “‘tasktType’:‘3’” represents the replenishment type of the replenishment task as the third replenishment type. The second replenishment task of the target item includes “{‘sku’:‘item1’;‘count’:‘15’;‘tasktType’:‘2’}”, wherein “‘tasktType’:‘2’” represents the replenishment type of the replenishment task as the second replenishment type. The third replenishment task of the target item is converted into the second replenishment task, and the converted second replenishment task is “{‘sku’:‘item1’;‘count’:‘25’;‘tasktType’:‘2’}”, wherein the replenishment quantity is the sum of the replenishment quantities of the second replenishment task and the third replenishment task. The way of converting the second replenishment task into the first replenishment task is similar.

[0103] After the replenishment task is issued, it comprises: issuing all the converted replenishment tasks of the target item. After the replenishment task is generated, there may be multiple replenishment tasks of the target item, and after the multiple replenishment tasks of the target item are converted, all the converted replenishment tasks are issued to avoid missing the replenishment task of the target item. Converting the replenishment task of the target item can reduce the number of replenishment tasks, improve the execution efficiency of the replenishment task, and improve the efficiency and flexibility of the warehouse replenishment.

[0104] According to another embodiment of the present application, each replenishment task of each replenishment type has a corresponding replenishment quantity, when converting a second replenishment task of a target item into a first replenishment task of the target item, first determine the replenishment quantity of the first replenishment task, and take the replenishment quantity of the first replenishment task as the first demand quantity. According to the replenishment quantity of the second replenishment task, sort the second replenishment task, and according to the sorting result, select a target second replenishment task that can meet the first demand quantity from the second replenishment task, and convert the target second replenishment task into the first replenishment task. For example, there are four second replenishment tasks, and the replenishment quantities of the four second replenishment tasks are 20, 5, 8, and 10 respectively. According to the order from large to small, the replenishment quantities of the four second replenishment tasks are 20, 10, 8, and 5 respectively. When the first demand quantity is 15, the second replenishment task with the replenishment quantity of 20 is converted into the first replenishment task. When the first demand quantity is 25, the second replenishment tasks with the replenishment quantities of 20 and 15 are converted into the first replenishment task. When the first demand quantity is 50, the second replenishment tasks with the replenishment quantities of 20, 10, 8, and 5 are converted into the first replenishment task, and a first replenishment task with a replenishment quantity of 7 is generated.

[0105] When converting a third replenishment task of a target item into a second replenishment task of the target item, first determine the second demand quantity of the second replenishment task, sort the third replenishment task according to the order from large to small according to the replenishment quantity of the third replenishment task, and according to the sorting result, select a target third replenishment task corresponding to the second demand quantity from the third replenishment task, and convert the target third replenishment task into the second replenishment task.

[0106] For example, when the second demand quantity is 20, and the replenishment quantity of the existing second replenishment task is 10, a target third replenishment task with a replenishment quantity of 10 is selected from the third replenishment task, and the target third replenishment task is converted into the second replenishment task, so that the replenishment quantity of the second replenishment task is equal to the second demand quantity. When the second demand quantity is 5, and the replenishment quantity of the existing second replenishment task is 10, the third replenishment task is not converted into the second replenishment task.

[0107] The execution subject of the embodiment of the present application iterates the replenishment tasks of various replenishment types at regular intervals, and converts replenishment tasks of different replenishment types into replenishment tasks of the same replenishment type. Upgrading replenishment tasks of different replenishment types can reduce the number of replenishment tasks and improve the execution efficiency of replenishment tasks.

[0108] According to another embodiment of the present application, when all the replenishment tasks of the converted target item are issued, the execution order of all the replenishment tasks of the target item is determined according to the pre-set task priority. Specifically, the replenishment tasks of different replenishment types correspond to different task priorities, the pre-set priority information is queried to determine the association between the replenishment type and the task priority, for example, the task priority of the emergency replenishment task (i.e., the first replenishment task) is the highest, the task priority of the order pool replenishment task (i.e., the second replenishment task) is lower than that of the emergency replenishment task, and the task priority of the intelligent replenishment task (i.e., the third replenishment task) is lower than that of the order pool replenishment task.

[0109] According to the order from high to low of the task priority, all the replenishment tasks of the target item are sorted to obtain the execution order of the replenishment tasks, i.e., the replenishment task with high task priority is executed first, and the replenishment task with low task priority is executed later. According to the execution order, all the replenishment tasks of the target item are issued in turn, i.e., the replenishment task with high task priority is issued first, and the replenishment task with low task priority is issued later.

[0110] Setting the priority of the replenishment task can improve the flexibility and efficiency of the execution of the replenishment task and meet the diversified and personalized replenishment demand.

[0111] According to an embodiment of the present application, before the replenishment task is issued, the method further comprises determining the item attribute of the target item. The item attribute includes the item category, the item volume, the item weight, whether it is a residual item, whether it is a value-added service item, etc. The obtained item attribute is compared with the pre-set replenishment condition to determine whether the item attribute meets the replenishment condition. If the item attribute meets the replenishment condition, it means that the target item should be replenished, and the replenishment task is issued. If the item attribute does not meet the replenishment condition, it means that the target item should not be replenished, and the replenishment task is not issued.

[0112] The item attribute is used to mark the items that can be replenished, for example, some residual items or value-added service items in the warehouse do not need to be replenished. According to the item attribute, the items that need to be replenished are identified, and the replenishment task of the items that need to be replenished is issued.

[0113] According to the item attribute, the items are screened to realize the flexible issuance of the replenishment task, improve the accuracy of the replenishment task, avoid replenishing the items that do not need to be replenished, and save manpower and resources.

[0114] According to another embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises: determining source storage location information of the target item according to a preset positioning rule, the source storage location information comprising source warehouse location information and corresponding shelf information of the target item; and determining destination storage location information of the target item according to a preset shelving rule, the destination storage location information comprising destination warehouse location information and corresponding shelf information of the target item.

[0115] For example, there are multiple source warehouses of the target item, and different replenishment types correspond to different source warehouses. According to the positioning rule, the source warehouse and the source shelf corresponding to the replenishment type are determined, and the target item is obtained from the source shelf of the source warehouse. For another example, there are multiple destination warehouses of the target item, and different replenishment types correspond to different destination warehouses. According to the shelving rule, the destination warehouse and the destination shelf corresponding to the replenishment type are determined, and the target item is replenished to the destination shelf of the destination warehouse.

[0116] The positioning rule and the shelving rule are used to screen the source warehouse and the destination warehouse of the replenishment task, and more granular shelf storage locations, such as storing items of the same kind in the same warehouse and adjacent shelf storage locations, specifying which shelf storage locations need to be emptied, and which shelves are the least replenishment locations, and the like.

[0117] According to the positioning rule and the shelving rule, the source warehouse, the destination warehouse, and the source shelf and the destination shelf of the item are determined, which can improve the accuracy and flexibility of warehouse replenishment and meet different replenishment requirements.

[0118] According to another embodiment of the present application, when the replenishment task is issued, the issuing time point of the replenishment task is determined according to the execution time period of the replenishment task. The execution time period of the replenishment task is determined according to the replenishment type or the warehouse information, that is, the replenishment task can only be executed within the execution time period. Then, the issuing time point of the replenishment task is set according to the execution time period. The replenishment task does not have to be issued immediately after being generated. For example, the issuing time point of the replenishment task is set within a period of time before and after the start of the execution time period.

[0119] When the issuing time point is reached, the replenishment task is issued. This enables the staff receiving the replenishment task to execute the replenishment task as soon as possible, improving the execution efficiency of the replenishment task. The replenishment task is more flexibly issued, meeting the diverse needs of replenishment task issuance.

[0121] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the overall flow of the warehouse replenishment method according to one reference embodiment of the present application. As shown, Figure 3 When a consumer places an order on an e-commerce platform, the goods order is first issued to the item scheduling system. In the item scheduling system, the carrier operator combines the orders in the same delivery range into a delivery order according to the size of the transport vehicle, and issues the delivery order to the item storage system for production. After the item storage system receives the delivery order from the item scheduling system, it starts production. First, it is determined whether the item inventory is sufficient. If the item inventory is sufficient for the order demand, the goods are directly picked up and shipped out. If the item inventory is insufficient, the warehouse replenishment method described in the embodiment of the present application is triggered. When the warehouse replenishment is performed, the warehouse information, consignee information and replenishment type of the item are obtained. The item attributes, storage location information and time information of the item are determined. According to the obtained information, the replenishment strategy is determined, the corresponding replenishment task is generated according to the replenishment strategy, the warehouse worker receives and executes the replenishment task, and the out-of-stock goods are replenished to the normal picking storage location. After the warehouse worker completes the replenishment, the goods are moved to the shipping platform, the shipment is reviewed, and the picking and shipping of the goods are completed.

[0130] Step S606, issuing the replenishment task in the case that the issue time point is reached, so that the user receiving the replenishment task replenishes the target item according to the replenishment task.

[0131] The specific implementation of the warehouse replenishment method according to another embodiment of the present application has been described in detail in the warehouse replenishment method described above, and thus repeated content is not described herein.

[0132] Figure 7 Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main flow of a warehouse replenishment method according to another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the target warehouse is an automated warehouse (an automated warehouse belongs to an unmanned warehouse), such as an automated warehouse shown in Fig. 1. Figure 7 As shown in Fig. 1, the warehouse replenishment method can include the following steps.

[0133] The item storage system locates the inventory. After the item storage system receives the dispatch order from the item dispatch system, the item storage system aggregates the large dispatch order formed by multiple dispatch orders according to each item and the required quantity in the dispatch order to start locating. First, it is determined whether the inventory in the automated warehouse is sufficient. If the inventory is sufficient, the goods are directly picked and delivered. If the inventory is insufficient, a replenishment task is generated, and the warehouse staff takes and executes the replenishment task to replenish the corresponding items in the source warehouse to the automated warehouse, and then the goods are picked and delivered.

[0134] The replenishment task is generated according to a pre-set replenishment strategy master table. The replenishment strategy master table includes warehouse information, consignee information, and replenishment type. In this embodiment, the replenishment strategy master table is additionally supplemented with a replenishment strategy, which includes item screening, storage location screening, priority, time rule, and other attributes. When generating the replenishment task, the warehouse information, consignee information, and replenishment type of the item are obtained, the replenishment strategy master table is queried according to the obtained information, the replenishment strategy corresponding to the target item is determined, and the corresponding replenishment task is generated according to the determined replenishment strategy.

[0135] Item screening: This attribute is used to mark items that can be replenished. For example, some residual items or value-added service items in the warehouse do not need to be replenished, and this requirement can be achieved through the item screening attribute. Storage location screening: This attribute is mainly used to screen storage locations that can be replenished, mainly including positioning rules and shelving rules. The positioning rules correspond to source storage location screening, and the shelving rules correspond to destination storage location screening, which are used to configure the screening of source storage locations and destination storage locations. The positioning rules are mainly used to screen the source storage locations of the replenishment task, from which storage location to replenish, including emptying the storage location and the least picking location. The shelving rules are used to screen the destination storage locations of the replenishment task. Compared with the positioning rules, the shelving rules more finely screen the storage locations, mainly including the same product category storage location and the empty storage location. The time rule attribute is used to manage the execution time period of the replenishment task. The priority attribute is used to indicate the priority of the replenishment task, i.e., the execution order of the replenishment task. In actual application, a filter can be designed to achieve the above-mentioned screening attributes, and the storage location screening and item screening can support dynamic SQL configuration, support user individual configuration, and be more flexible.
