Goods Processing Robot Shelving Unit Delivery Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current intelligent warehousing systems face inefficiencies in goods retrieval due to multiple sorting and transport processes, leading to high costs, resource consumption, and low processing efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine a target shelving unit based on delivery information, allowing goods transport robots to place and retrieve goods directly from these units, reducing the need for multiple transport and sorting steps by using shelving unit transport robots to move entire units to retrieval points.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If goods are placed without specific order on shelves during storage, then storage flexibility is improved, but retrieval efficiency deteriorates due to multiple sorting and transport operations required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary sorting during the goods placement phase by determining target shelving units based on delivery information before storage. This preliminary action groups goods by delivery destination, so that during retrieval, only one transport operation to the corresponding shelving unit is needed instead of multiple sorting operations, thus resolving the contradiction between storage flexibility and retrieval efficiency
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple sorting and transport operations are performed during goods retrieval, then sorting accuracy is improved, but processing time increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary grouping of goods by delivery information during placement, creating pre-sorted batches on specific shelving units. This preliminary action eliminates the need for subsequent sorting operations during retrieval, reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy through automated delivery information-based routing
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple sorting operations into a single placement operation by determining target shelving units based on delivery information upfront. This consolidation eliminates redundant sorting steps during retrieval, reducing processing time while maintaining sorting accuracy through the initial intelligent placement
3Reliability
If multiple transport operations are performed during goods retrieval, then goods are delivered accurately to collection areas, but resource consumption increases and cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary routing during goods placement by determining target shelving units based on delivery information. This preliminary action ensures that during retrieval, goods are transported directly to the correct shelving unit in a single operation, reducing resource consumption while maintaining delivery accuracy through the pre-established delivery information linkage

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a goods processing method and apparatus, a device, a system, a storage medium, and a program product. The method includes: determining, if to-be-stored goods exist, a target shelving unit configured for the goods to be placed according to delivery information corresponding to the goods; transmitting a goods placement instruction, so that a goods transport robot places the goods on the target shelving unit according to the goods placement instruction; and transmitting a goods taking instruction if to-be-retrieved goods exist, so that a shelving unit transport robot transports, to a retrieval point, a shelving unit where the to-be-retrieved goods are located.
