AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing picking systems, particularly in multi-picking scenarios, fail to optimize the arrangement of slips, leading to inefficient travel distances and times for picking carts, with existing techniques not effectively addressing this issue.
Method used
A picking system and method that identifies picking locations, selects optimal sets of slips to minimize travel distance or time, and generates routes using efficient algorithms to assign and display picking information, utilizing self-propelled carts with display units to guide operators to picking positions.
Benefits of technology
The system significantly reduces the travel distance and time of picking carts by optimizing slip arrangements and generating efficient routes, enhancing operational efficiency in warehouses.

Abstract
The present invention provides a picking cart or a picking route generation method that can shorten the travel distance or travel time of the picking cart. [Solution] The system includes a storage unit 1 that stores information on p slips for picking, a slip selection unit 2 that selects r sets of q slips (where q≧2 and r=p / q≧2) from the p slips in such a way that the total travel distance or total travel time of the cart corresponding to the p slips is minimized, and a route generation unit 3 that generates a travel route for each selected set of slips in such a way that the travel distance or travel time of the cart is minimized.
