Problems solved by technology

However, the existing picking route optimization method only considers the route optimization alone, and assumes that one SKU corresponds to one storage location. It is difficult to effectively use the optimization results of location placement or random replenishment. SKU requires different picking volume requirements

Embodiment 1

[0047] An inventory path optimization device in this embodiment includes:

[0048] The information receiving unit is configured to receive the picking quantity and inventory information of one or more SKUs. The inventory information refers to the corresponding relationship between the inventory location and the SKU type and inventory amount. For example, there are N types of SKUs: 1, 2,… ,N,SKU k The location set is L k , the inventory quantity on the i-th location is c ki ,i∈L k , the required picking quantity is p k , the present embodiment is preferably real-time inventory information, 1, real-time inventory information can also come from other modules such as random replenishment in addition to the location placement.

[0049] The information generation unit is configured to match one or more picking locations corresponding to each SKU according to the inventory information, specifically including: an inventory quantity acquisition module configured to obtain the locat...

Abstract

The invention discloses an inventory path optimization method and device, and mainly relates to the field of warehousing. The inventory path optimization method comprises the steps: receiving the order picking quantity and inventory information of one or more SKUs; matching one or more order picking storage locations corresponding to each SKU according to the inventory information; generating a plurality of order picking paths based on the order picking storage location matched with each SKU, wherein the order picking storage location can meet the corresponding order picking quantity; and calculating the picking distance of each picking path and outputting the picking path with the shortest picking distance. The method and devie have the beneficial effects that the method not only can meetthe requirement for multi-storage-location placement of a single SKU, but also can meet the requirements for different SKUs and different order picking quantities, and is more beneficial to meeting the actual requirements of a warehouse.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of warehousing, in particular to a method and a device for optimizing an inventory path. Background technique [0002] In recent years, e-commerce, new retail, and supply chain have developed rapidly. As an important link in the supply chain, warehouse orders are also increasing day by day. The main modules involved in the warehouse include placement of goods, random replenishment, optimization of picking paths, etc. The optimization effects of several modules can be organically combined to better improve warehouse timeliness and reduce warehouse costs. However, the existing picking route optimization method only considers the route optimization alone, and assumes that one SKU corresponds to one storage location. It is difficult to effectively use the optimization results of location placement or random replenishment. SKUs require different picking volume requirements. Contents of the invention [0003]...
