Detailed Description

The present application is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

Fig. 1 illustrates an exemplary system architecture 100 to which embodiments of the information generation method or information generation apparatus of the present application may be applied.

As shown in fig. 1, a system architecture 100 may include servers 101, 103 and a network 102. Network 102 is the medium used to provide communication links between servers 101 and 103. Network 102 may include various connection types such as wired, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables, among others.

The server 101 may be a server providing various services. The server 101 may store, for example, orders to be processed, slot information, and the like. The slot information may include, for example, a slot identifier of a slot disposed in each picking station, association information corresponding to the slot identifier, and the like.

The server 103 may be a server providing various services. The server 103 may acquire a set of pending orders and a set of slot identifications from the server 101, and analyze the acquired set of pending orders and the set of slot identifications, for example.

Note that, the information generating method provided in the embodiment of the present application is generally executed by the server 103, and accordingly, the information generating apparatus is generally disposed in the server 103.

It should be noted that if the set of pending orders and the set of slot identifiers acquired by the server 103 are stored locally in advance, the system architecture 100 may not include the server 101.

It should be understood that the number of servers and networks in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of servers and networks, as desired for implementation.

With continued reference to fig. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of an information generation method according to the present application is shown. The flow 200 of the information generating method includes the steps of:

step 201, a set of pending orders is obtained.

In this embodiment, the electronic device (for example, the server 103 shown in fig. 1) on which the information generating method operates may acquire the set of pending orders from a server (for example, the server 101 shown in fig. 1) that is remotely connected through a wired connection or a wireless connection. Of course, if the set of pending orders is stored locally in the electronic device in advance, the electronic device may also obtain the set of pending orders locally. The pending order may correspond to an order type identifier. The order type identification may be a type name or number of the order type to which the pending order belongs, etc. The order types may include, for example, single orders, multiple orders, high amount orders, and so on. The present embodiment does not make any restrictions on the classification of the order types.

It should be noted that the pending order may also correspond to the volume of the item and the order identification. The item volume may be a sum of volumes of respective items corresponding to the pending order.

Step 202, a set of slot identifiers is obtained.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the slot identifier set from a server connected by remote communication through a wired connection manner or a wireless connection manner. If the slot identification set is stored locally in the electronic device in advance, the electronic device may also obtain the slot identification set locally. Wherein, the slot position identification can be correspondingly provided with associated information, and the associated information can comprise an order type identification group, a picking mode, a state identification and the like. The picking modes may include, for example, picking by order and picking by aggregate order. It is noted that a collection of orders may also be referred to as an order collection, and a collection of orders may include at least one order. For a slot position identifier which corresponds to the picking mode of picking according to the order, the slot position identifier can also correspond to a designated volume and a designated order quantity. The designated volume and the designated order volume may be manually set, and the present embodiment is not limited in this respect.

Here, the states indicated by the state identification may include an idle state and an unfinished state. The idle state may characterize that slots are not currently assigned orders or aggregate orders. The incomplete status may characterize that the total volume of items corresponding to the aggregate orders assigned to the slots (the sum of the volumes of items respectively corresponding to the individual orders in the aggregate order) is less than the specified volume and/or the total volume of orders corresponding (the total number of orders in the aggregate order) is less than the specified order volume.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the slot identifier set by:

firstly, the electronic device may first obtain a preset first slot identifier set. The first slot position identifier may correspond to a state identifier and a picking mode, and the state indicated by the state identifier may be an idle state, an unfinished state, or an in-production state. In addition, the first set of slot identifiers may be pre-stored in a server that is local to the electronic device or in remote communication with the electronic device.

Then, the electronic device may count the number of the first slot marks selected according to the order in the corresponding selecting mode in the first slot mark set, and record the number as N1.

Then, the electronic device may select, from the first slot identifier set, a slot identifier whose corresponding picking mode is picking according to an order and whose corresponding status is an idle status indicated by the status identifier, to form a first slot identifier group. The electronic device may count the number of the first slot identifiers in the first slot identifier group, and record the number as N2.

Then, the electronic device may determine whether N2 is greater than or equal to a product of N1 and a preset value. If yes, the electronic device can classify each first slot position identifier in the first slot position identifier group into a slot position identifier set. For each first slot position identifier in the first slot position identifier set, which is selected according to the set list, the electronic device may select, from the first slot position identifiers, a first slot position identifier whose state indicated by the corresponding state identifier is an idle state or an unfinished state, and also assign the first slot position identifier to the slot position identifier set. The preset value may be a value within the interval (0, 1), which may be modified according to actual needs, and the embodiment is not limited in this respect.

Step 203, performing slot identification matching operation for each to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set based on the slot identification set and the associated information corresponding to the slot identifications in the slot identification set, and generating information for indicating the associated relationship between the to-be-processed order and the target slot identification based on the picking mode corresponding to the target slot identification when the to-be-processed order is matched with the target slot identification corresponding to the to-be-processed order.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may perform a slot identifier matching operation for each to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set based on the acquired slot identifier set and association information corresponding to the slot identifiers in the slot identifier set, and generate, when the to-be-processed order is matched to a target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order, information indicating an association relationship between the to-be-processed order and the target slot identifier based on a picking manner corresponding to the target slot identifier.

For example, for each pending order in the set of pending orders, the electronic device may first determine whether a slot identifier exists in the set of slot identifiers, where the corresponding order type identifier group includes an order type identifier corresponding to the pending order. If so, the electronic device may select a slot identifier from the slot identifiers that satisfies one of the following: the state indicated by the corresponding state identifier is an idle state, the state indicated by the corresponding state identifier is an incomplete state, and the currently associated aggregate sheet satisfies a first preset condition. The electronic equipment can use the selected slot position identifier as a matched target slot position identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order. The first preset condition may include, for example: the aggregate list comprises an order with the same order type as the to-be-processed order, the sum of the total volume of the articles currently corresponding to the aggregate list and the volume of the articles corresponding to the to-be-processed order is not more than the designated volume, and the total volume of the orders currently corresponding to the aggregate list plus 1 is not more than the designated order volume. If the picking mode corresponding to the target slot position identifier is order-based picking, the electronic device may generate information including the order identifier of the to-be-processed order and the target slot position identifier.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, if the picking manner corresponding to the target slot identifier is to pick according to a collection list, if the target slot identifier currently corresponds to a collection list that meets a first preset condition, the electronic device may add the to-be-processed order to the collection list, and generate information including the order identifier of the to-be-processed order, the collection list identifier of the collection list, and the target slot identifier. If the picking mode corresponding to the target slot position identifier is to pick according to the collection list, if the target slot position identifier does not currently correspond to the collection list, the electronic device can establish a new collection list, add the to-be-processed order into the newly established collection list, and generate information including the order identifier of the to-be-processed order, the collection list identifier of the newly established collection list and the target slot position identifier.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, for each to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set, if the electronic device determines that the slot identifier set includes a slot identifier of an order type identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order in the slot identifier set, the electronic device may further determine whether the slot identifier set includes a slot identifier of only one order type identifier; if so, the electronic device can randomly select a slot position identifier from the determined slot position identifiers only comprising the order type identifier as a target slot position identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order.

With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the information generating method according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, the server 301 may perform the information generation flow at regular time. When the moment of executing the information generating flow comes, the server 301 may locally acquire the pending order set 302 and the slot identification set 303. The pending order set 302 may include a pending order 3021, where the pending order 3021 corresponds to an order type identifier a. The slot identifier set 303 may include slot identifiers 3031 and 3032, where the slot identifiers 3031 and 3032 correspond to a picking manner and an order type identifier group, the slots indicated by the slot identifiers 3031 and 3032 are slots in an idle state, the picking manner corresponding to the slot identifier 3031 is to pick according to an order, and the picking manner corresponding to the slot identifier 3032 is to pick according to a set order. Then, the server 301 may search for the order type identifier a in the order type identifier groups corresponding to the slot identifiers 3031, 3032, respectively. Then, in response to the server 301 finding the order type identifier a in the order type identifier groups corresponding to the slot identifiers 3031, 3032, respectively, the server 301 may randomly select one slot identifier from the slot identifiers 3031, 3032 as the target slot identifier 304 corresponding to the pending order 3021. Finally, server 301 may generate information indicating an association between pending order 3021 and target slot identification 304 according to the picking pattern corresponding to target slot identification 304. Here, the target slot identifier 304 is set to be the slot identifier 3031, and since the picking manner corresponding to the target slot identifier 304 is to pick according to the order, the electronic device may assign the pending order 3021 to the slot indicated by the target slot identifier 304, and the electronic device may generate the information 305 including the order identifier of the pending order 3021 and the target slot identifier 304.

The method provided by the embodiment of the application effectively utilizes the slot position identification matching operation, and realizes the determination of the target slot position identification corresponding to the to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set and the generation of the information for indicating the association relationship between the to-be-processed order and the target slot position identification.

With further reference to fig. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of an information generation method is shown. The flow 400 of the information generation method includes the steps of:

step 401, a set of pending orders is obtained.

Step 402, a set of slot identifiers is obtained.

In this embodiment, the explanation of step 401 and step 402 may refer to the relevant explanation of step 201 and step 202 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that the pending order may correspond to an order type identification. The pending order may include a set of item identifications. The order type identifier corresponding to the order to be processed may correspond to a priority. In addition, the association information corresponding to the slot identification may include an order type identification group, a status identification, a slot type identification, workstation information, and the like. The slot type identifier may be a first slot type identifier or a second slot type identifier. The first slot type indicated by the first slot type identification may be used to indicate that the slot is configured with an order type. The second slot type indicated by the second slot type identification may be used to indicate that the slot is configured with at least two order types. The workstation information may include a workstation identification and a set of item identifications corresponding to the workstation identification. The workstation indicated by the workstation identification may be a picking workstation.

It should be noted that, for any one workstation identifier, the item identifier set corresponding to the workstation identifier may include an item identifier of an item that is not scheduled in the workstation indicated by the workstation identifier, and an item identifier of an item on a shelf in the delivery and transportation of the workstation that is currently destined for the workstation.

Step 403, according to the order of priority from high to low, for each order type identifier corresponding to a to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set, performing a slot identifier matching operation for each to-be-processed order corresponding to the order type identifier based on the slot identifier set, the association information corresponding to the slot identifiers in the slot identifier set, and the item identifier set included in the to-be-processed order corresponding to the order type identifier, and generating information indicating the association relationship between the to-be-processed order and the target slot identifier based on the picking mode corresponding to the target slot identifier when the target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order is matched.

In this embodiment, for each order type identifier corresponding to a to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set, the electronic device may perform a slot identifier matching operation for each to-be-processed order corresponding to each order type identifier in the to-be-processed order type identifiers sequentially according to a priority order from top to bottom. Here, the electronic device may perform the slot identifier matching operation for the to-be-processed order corresponding to the order type identifier based on the slot identifier set, association information corresponding to the slot identifier in the slot identifier set, and the item identifier set included in the to-be-processed order corresponding to the order type identifier. And when the target slot position identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order is matched, the electronic equipment can generate information for indicating the association relationship between the to-be-processed order and the target slot position identifier based on the picking mode corresponding to the target slot position identifier.

As an example, the electronic device may perform the following operations:

1) The electronic device may form a workstation identifier set from workstation identifiers corresponding to the slot identifiers in the slot identifier set.

2) For each workstation identifier in the workstation identifier set, the electronic device may select a slot identifier corresponding to the workstation identifier from the slot identifier set to form a slot identifier group corresponding to the workstation identifier.

3) The electronic device may form the first order type identification sequence from the order of priority to the order of priority, where the order type identifications correspond to the pending orders in the pending order set. It should be noted that a certain priority may correspond to at least two order type identifiers. For each order type identifier under this priority, the electronic device may randomly assign an order, or multiple order types precede a single order type, etc.

4) The electronic device may sequentially use each order type identifier as a first to-be-processed order type identifier from a header of the first order type identifier sequence, and perform the following first processing steps:

firstly, the electronic device may first select workstation identifiers satisfying a second preset condition from a workstation identifier set to form a first workstation identifier group. The second preset condition may include, for example: the workstation identification does not correspond to the second pause mark, the first pause mark comprising the first waiting order type identification, and the slot position identification meeting the following conditions exist in the slot position identification group corresponding to the workstation identification: the corresponding slot type identifier is a first slot type identifier, and the corresponding order type identifier group comprises a first to-be-processed order type identifier and a currently un-corresponding to-be-processed order. Wherein the first pause flag may include a first slot type identification and an order type identification. The second pause flag may be used to indicate that the workstation identification does not participate in operations associated with the slot identification matching process.

Then, the electronic device may determine a degree of coincidence between an item identifier set included in the to-be-processed order corresponding to the first to-be-processed order type identifier in the to-be-processed order set and an item identifier set corresponding to a workstation identifier in the first workstation identifier group. As an example, an item identifier set a is set for one pending order corresponding to the first pending order type identifier, and an item identifier set B is set for one workstation identifier in the first workstation identifier group. The overlap between item identification set a and item identification set B may be equal to the ratio of the number of identical item identifications in item identification set a and item identification set B to the number of item identifications in item identification set a.

The electronic device may then check whether a first target overlap ratio greater than a first preset value (e.g., 0) exists among the determined overlap ratios. If the first target overlap ratio exists in the overlap ratios, the electronic device may select, for the to-be-processed order associated with the first target overlap ratio, a workstation identifier from a first workstation identifier group based on the first target overlap ratio as a target workstation identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order, and select, for the to-be-processed order, a slot identifier from a slot identifier group corresponding to the target workstation identifier as a target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order.

As an example, assume that the first preset value is 0; the to-be-processed orders corresponding to the first to-be-processed order type identifier comprise to-be-processed orders T1 and T2; the first workstation identification group comprises workstation identifications W1 and W2; the coincidence ratio between the article identification set included in the order to be processed T1 and the article identification sets respectively corresponding to the workstation identifications W1 and W2 is 0.8 and 0.7 in sequence; the contact ratio between the article identification set included in the order to be processed T2 and the article identification sets respectively corresponding to the workstation identifications W1 and W2 is 0.9 and 0.7 in sequence.

Wherein 0.9 is the highest first target contact ratio, and since the first target contact ratio 0.9 is associated with the to-be-processed order T2 and the workstation identifier W1, the electronic device may preferentially determine the workstation identifier W1 as the target workstation identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order T2, and the electronic device may select, from the slot identifier group corresponding to the workstation identifier W1, a slot identifier satisfying the following conditions as the target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order T2: the corresponding slot type identifier is a first slot type identifier, and the corresponding order type identifier group comprises a first to-be-processed order type identifier and a currently un-corresponding to-be-processed order.

For the to-be-processed order T1, since the contact ratio between the item identification sets corresponding to the to-be-processed order T1 and the workstation identification W1 is the highest first target contact ratio associated with the to-be-processed order T1, the electronic equipment can firstly determine whether the slot identification meeting the above conditions exists in the slot identification group corresponding to the workstation identification W1, and if so, the electronic equipment can randomly select one slot identification from the determined slot identifications meeting the above conditions as the target slot identification corresponding to the to-be-processed order T1; if not, the electronic device may select, from the slot identifier group corresponding to the workstation identifier W2, a slot identifier that meets the above condition as the target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order T1.

It should be noted that, when the overlap ratio between the item identifier sets included in the plurality of pending orders and the item identifier set corresponding to the same workstation identifier is equal, the electronic device may preferentially determine the workstation identifier as a target workstation identifier corresponding to a first target pending order in the plurality of pending orders, where the first target pending order may be a pending order with the largest number of item identifiers in the included item identifier set; if more than two first target to-be-processed orders exist in the plurality of to-be-processed orders, the electronic device may determine the workstation identifier as a target workstation identifier corresponding to a second target to-be-processed order in the more than two first target to-be-processed orders, where the second target to-be-processed order may be the to-be-processed order with the earliest order interception time or the largest order number; if there are more than two second target pending orders in the more than two first target pending orders, the electronic device may randomly select one pending order from the more than two second target pending orders, and determine the workstation identifier as a target workstation identifier corresponding to the selected pending order.

It should be noted that, if the contact ratio between the item identifier set included in the to-be-processed order corresponding to the first to-be-processed order type identifier in the to-be-processed order set and the item identifier set corresponding to the workstation identifier in the first workstation identifier group is equal to the first preset value, the electronic device may set a first pause identifier including a first slot type identifier and a first to-be-processed order type identifier for each workstation identifier in the first workstation identifier group.

In addition, if there is a second target contact ratio that is greater than the first preset value and less than a second preset value (for example, 1) in the contact ratio between the item identification set included in the to-be-processed order corresponding to the first to-be-processed order type identification and the item identification set corresponding to the workstation identification in the first workstation identification group in the to-be-processed order set, the electronic device may perform the following merging step for the to-be-processed order and the workstation identification corresponding to the second target contact ratio: firstly, the electronic device may select, from the set of item identifiers included in the order to be processed, item identifiers that are not included in the set of item identifiers corresponding to the workstation identifier to form a first item identifier group. And then, the electronic device may further select a shelf identifier meeting a third preset condition from the preset shelf identifier set as the target shelf identifier, where the third preset condition may be, for example, that a distance between the indicated shelf and a workstation indicated by the work identifier is not greater than a distance threshold value or the like. The shelf identity may correspond to a set of item identities and a set of distance values, which may be a set of distance values consisting of distance values between the shelf indicated by the shelf identity and the workstations indicated by the workstation identities in the set of workstation identities. And then, the electronic equipment can select the article identifiers except the article identifiers in the first article identifier group from the article identifier set corresponding to the target shelf identifier to form a second article identifier group. The electronic device may then combine the first article identification group and the second article identification group into an article identification set corresponding to the workstation identification. Finally, if the workstation identifier currently corresponds to a pause flag (e.g., a first pause flag, a second pause flag, a third pause flag, etc.), the electronic device may clear the pause flag. Wherein the third pause flag is a pause flag comprising a second slot type identification and an order type identification.

It should be understood that the second preset value and the third preset condition may be set according to actual needs, and the content of the second preset value and the third preset condition is not limited in this embodiment.

It should be emphasized that, for the to-be-processed order corresponding to the first to-be-processed order type identifier, when determining that the contact ratio between the item identifier set included in one to-be-processed order and the item identifier set corresponding to a certain workstation identifier is the second target contact ratio, the electronic device may perform the merging step for the to-be-processed order. Of course, the electronic device may also perform the merging step for the to-be-processed order corresponding to the second target contact ratio after determining the contact ratio between the item identifier set included in each to-be-processed order corresponding to the first to-be-processed order type identifier and the item identifier set corresponding to each workstation identifier in the first workstation identifier group.

After the electronic device executes the first processing step for each order type identifier in the first order type identifier sequence, for each workstation identifier in the workstation identifier set, if each overlap ratio corresponding to the workstation identifier is the first preset value, the electronic device may set a corresponding second pause flag for the workstation identifier.

5) After the electronic device executes the first processing step for each order type identifier in the first order type identifier sequence, if there is a to-be-processed order that does not correspond to the target slot identifier in the to-be-processed order set, the electronic device may form, according to a priority order from high to low, an order type identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order that does not correspond to the target slot identifier into a second order type identifier sequence, starting from a header of the second order type identifier sequence, sequentially taking each order type identifier as a second to-be-processed order type identifier, and executing the following second processing steps:

first, the electronic device may select, from the set of workstation identifiers, a workstation identifier that satisfies a fourth preset condition to form a second workstation identifier group. The fourth preset condition may include, for example: the second pause mark is not corresponding to the third pause mark comprising the second slot position type mark and the second pending order type mark, and the slot position mark meeting the following conditions exists in the slot position mark group corresponding to the workstation mark: the corresponding slot type identifier is a second slot type identifier, the corresponding order type identifier group comprises a second to-be-processed order type identifier, and no aggregate list is currently corresponding or the corresponding aggregate list meets a fifth preset condition. The fifth preset condition may include, for example, that the total volume of the items currently corresponding to the aggregate list is not greater than a specified volume, and that the total volume of the orders currently corresponding to the aggregate list is not greater than a specified order volume.

Then, for each of the pending orders in the set of pending orders that corresponds to the second pending order type identifier and does not correspond to the target slot identifier, the electronic device may determine a degree of overlap between an item identifier set included in each of the pending orders and an item identifier set corresponding to a workstation identifier in the second workstation identifier group.

Then, if the determined overlap ratio has a first target overlap ratio greater than the first preset value, the electronic device may select, for the to-be-processed order associated with the first target overlap ratio, a workstation identifier from a second workstation identifier group based on the first target overlap ratio as a target workstation identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order, and select, as a target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order, a slot identifier from a slot identifier group corresponding to the target workstation identifier (a slot identifier satisfying a condition related to the slot identifier in a fourth preset condition). The method for selecting the workstation identifier may refer to the description related to the first processing step, which is not described herein. In addition, if the to-be-processed order meets the sixth preset condition, the order type identifier group corresponding to the target slot identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order may not include an order type identifier having a priority higher than that of the order type identifier corresponding to the to-be-processed order. The sixth preset condition may include, for example: and the second order type identification sequence is provided with a target order type identification with higher priority than the order type identification corresponding to the to-be-processed order, and the to-be-processed order set is provided with a to-be-processed order which corresponds to the target order type identification and is not corresponding to the target slot position identification.

It should be noted that, for each to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order set, which corresponds to the second to-be-processed order type identifier and does not correspond to the target slot position identifier, if the contact ratio between the item identifier set included in each to-be-processed order and the item identifier set corresponding to the workstation identifier in the second workstation identifier group is equal to the first preset value, the electronic device may set a third pause flag including the second slot position type identifier and the second to-be-processed order type identifier for each workstation identifier in the second workstation identifier group.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after the electronic device executes the second processing step for each order type identifier in the second order type identifier sequence, for each workstation identifier in the workstation identifier set, if each overlap ratio corresponding to the workstation identifier is the first preset value, the electronic device may set a corresponding second pause flag for the workstation identifier.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, if there is a second target contact ratio that is greater than the first preset value and less than the second preset value in the contact ratio between the item identifier set included in the to-be-processed order corresponding to the second to-be-processed order type identifier and the item identifier set corresponding to the workstation identifier in the second workstation identifier group in the to-be-processed order set, the electronic device may perform the merging step for the to-be-processed order corresponding to the second target contact ratio and the workstation identifier.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after the electronic device performs the second processing step for each order type identifier in the second order type identifier sequence, the electronic device may further check whether a workstation identifier corresponding to a pause flag (e.g., a first pause flag and a third pause flag) exists currently in the workstation identifier set, if so, the electronic device may initialize the empty set S for the workstation identifier, sort the workstation identifiers in descending order according to a slot idle condition in the workstation indicated by the workstation identifier, consider each workstation identifier corresponding to the pause flag one by one, and repeat the following procedure until all the item identifier sets corresponding to the workstation identifiers corresponding to the pause flag are expanded:

a. considering the slot type identifier and the order type identifier in each pause flag (sorting the pause flags, for example, first pause flag and then third pause flag, and sorting according to the order type priority from high to low);

b. considering that the workstation indicated by the workstation identifier is internally configured with the most empty slot of the slot type indicated by the slot type identifier, and filtering the to-be-processed orders in the to-be-processed order set according to the spare volume and the order type identifier;

c. If no selectable order to be processed exists, if the pause mark comprises a first slot type mark, the electronic equipment can finish the previous group list mark; if the pause flag comprises a second slot type identifier, considering all slots supporting the order type indicated by the order type identifier and configured with the second slot type indicated by the second slot type identifier, if the order type is the lowest priority order type in the plurality of order types supported by the slots, the electronic device may complete the group order for the slot mark; clearing the pause mark, and returning to the state of a for continuation;

d. for the filtered to-be-processed orders, firstly, considering to-be-processed orders with the overlapping degree of the set S corresponding to the current workstation identification being lower than a certain threshold value, and if not, considering all the filtered to-be-processed orders, selecting the object with the largest corresponding order quantity as a seed object, and selecting the to-be-processed order with the largest category containing the seed object as the seed object;

e. adding the seed order to the workstation group order, and adding the item identification in the seed order and the item identification of the item on the same shelf surface (for example, the shelf surface on the shelf indicated by the target shelf identification selected for the seed order) with the item indicated by the item identification in the seed order to an item identification set and a set S corresponding to the workstation identification of the workstation;

f. And (c) clearing all pause marks of the work stations, and if the to-be-processed order corresponding to the order type identifier does not exist in the to-be-processed order set, clearing all pause marks marked with the order type identifier on the work stations, wherein the step c is corresponding to the completion of the marked slot bit.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, for a collection sheet added to the to-be-processed order in the to-be-processed order collection, if the total volume of the articles currently corresponding to the collection sheet reaches a specified percentage (e.g., 50% or the like) of an upper limit of a specified volume, the electronic device may directly establish a correspondence between the collection sheet and a slot identifier corresponding to the collection sheet; otherwise, the electronic device can check whether the order with the time mark and the distance exceeding the appointed time length (such as 5 minutes) exists in the collection list; if so, the electronic equipment can establish the corresponding relation between the collection list and the corresponding slot position identification, otherwise, the electronic equipment can cancel the collection list, mark the order in the collection list for the current time and then return to the to-be-processed order collection, and release the previously occupied slot position.

As can be seen from fig. 4, compared to the corresponding embodiment of fig. 2, the flow 400 of the information generating method in this embodiment highlights the step of determining the corresponding target workstation identification and target slot identification for the pending orders in the set of pending orders. Therefore, the scheme described in the embodiment can be used for matching more proper slots for the to-be-processed order.
