Problems solved by technology

[0004] The invention provides a method and device for generating a picking path, aiming to calculate the optimal picking path and picking method that meet the current order requirements through the standard box grouping method, and solve the problem of low picking efficiency when picking only according to the order and picking by area When , the high degree of fragmentation of the order is not conducive to the problem of combining scans

Embodiment 1

[0025] Such as figure 1 Shown is a flow chart of a picking path generation method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, including:

[0026] Step S101 , calculating the quantity of TEUs required by each order in the wave order, and generating a TEU configuration table, wherein the TEU configuration table includes the TEU serial number and the product SKU contained in the TEU corresponding to the TEU serial number.

[0027] With the rapid development of e-commerce, more and more users choose to shop online, so tens of thousands of large and small orders are processed every day in the warehouses of various e-commerce companies. In the face of large quantities of orders, it is necessary to distinguish the orders according to the categories from the source, and at the same time refer to the macroscopic storage logic of the goods in the warehouse area to realize the screening of orders and initially divide the huge orders. Specifically, the filtering logic can be prese...

Embodiment 2

[0052] Such as Figure 5 Shown is a flow chart of a picking path generation method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention, including:

[0053] In step S201, the huge order is divided into multiple wave orders according to the filter conditions such as product classification and storage logic.

[0054] Step S202, calculating the quantity of standard boxes required for each order according to the volume and quantity of the product SKUs in each order in the wave order, and generating a standard box configuration table.

[0055] Specifically, all the goods in the wave order are divided into standard boxes according to the principle that the goods in each standard box belong to only one order and the number of standard boxes is the minimum. When the standard case is formed, a standard case configuration table is generated. The standard case configuration table includes the serial number of the standard case and the product SKU contained in the standard case correspondin...

Embodiment 3

[0074] Such as Image 6 It is a structural block diagram of a picking path generating device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention, wherein the picking path generating device 300 includes:

[0075] The standard case information generation module 31 is used to calculate the standard case quantity required for each order in the wave order, and generates a standard case configuration table, which includes the standard case serial number and the standard case corresponding to the standard case serial number. Included product SKU;

[0076] Aisle distribution map generating module 32, for generating a standard case aisle distribution map according to the standard case configuration table and the aisle number and storage location number information of the goods SKU in the standard case configuration table in the current picking area, the standard case aisle The distribution chart shows the distribution of all TEUs of the wave order in each storage location of each lane i...

Abstract

The invention provides a picking route generation method and device. The method comprises the steps that the number of standard cases needed for a wave order is calculated, and a standard case configuration table is generated; a standard case roadway distribution diagram is generated according to the standard case configuration table and a roadway number and a storage location number of goods SKU; a roadway is selected to start picking simulation, and picking simulation information corresponding to the serial number of each standard case is recorded and added into traversed standard case picking information; after picking simulation on the current roadway is completed, the serial numbers of the standard cases where picking is completed form a virtual trolley according to preset rules; if the trolley is successfully formed, whether picking is completed at all standard cases or not is judged, if yes, picking simulation is ended, and if not, the traversed standard case picking information is deleted, and a next roadway is entered to restart picking simulation; and if the trolley is not successfully formed, the next roadway is entered to continue picking. Through the picking route generation method and device, both breadth and precision of picking coverage are guaranteed, and picking efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of warehousing, and in particular relates to a method and device for generating a picking path. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, more and more users choose to shop online, so tens of thousands of large and small orders are processed every day in the warehouses of various e-commerce companies. The order delivery efficiency will directly affect the user's consumption experience, and the picking efficiency is closely related to the order delivery efficiency, so the warehouse picking operation is becoming more and more important in the entire warehouse management. [0003] Whether the picking path is reasonable or not directly affects the picking efficiency. The existing picking path generation schemes generally have the following two types: (1) simply pick according to the order, and locate the shelf positions of all the goods SKU (Stock Keeping Unit, stock keeping unit) ...
