And the corresponding task order is arranged under the collection order, the order picker picks the task order and then picks the order, the order picking is completed and then converged, and the converged order is sent to the appointed rechecking table. Specifically, an order in the existing collection form mode is mainly to position one order in one warehouse, and if a plurality of commodities in one order are distributed in a plurality of warehouses, one order package needs to be disassembled into two packages for packaging and finally delivered to a customer, so that cost and time waste can be caused.

In view of the above technical problems, embodiments of the present application aim to provide an object positioning method, which provides a system positioning policy and method for order positioning in an intelligent flexible picking mode to improve functions, thereby improving the efficiency of positioning each object in an order.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an application scenario of an object location method according to an example embodiment; fig. 2 is a schematic view of the partitioning in the scenario of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1-2, the object positioning method provided in this embodiment is applied to a warehousing system, and the warehousing system may include a plurality of logical areas, and the logical area may further include a specific area and a plurality of storage areas. Specifically, the warehousing system may include a logic area 1 and a logic area 2, the logic area 1 may include an explosive area, a storage area 1 and a storage area 2, the storage area 1 may include a plurality of lanes (e.g., lane 1), and each lane may be correspondingly provided with a plurality of storage locations (e.g., storage location 1).

Continuing to refer to fig. 2, the warehousing system in this embodiment may be defined as an integrated system warehouse, and as for the explosive product area in the lower logic area, an explosive product production area may be correspondingly set, where explosive product commodities may be packaged into packages, and then transported to the transportation area by a package transportation line for external transportation, that is, directly transported to the transportation area after the packages are packaged from the explosive product production area, so as to ship externally. In addition, for the special-shaped product area in the logic area, a special-shaped product production area can be correspondingly arranged, special-shaped product commodities can be packaged into packages in the special-shaped product production area, then the packages are conveyed to the transportation area through a package conveying line to be transported to the outside, namely the packages are directly transported to the transportation area after being packaged from the special-shaped product production area, and then the packages are transported to the outside to be delivered to the outside.

In addition, a complex production area can be provided in the warehousing system, wherein the complex production area can be transported from a storage area by means of unit container conveyor lines, which storage area is worth mentioning for storing non-explosive as well as non-profiled items. Then, the commodities delivered from the storage area are packed into packages in the comprehensive production area, and then the packages are conveyed to the transportation area through a package conveying line for delivery. The positioning process of obtaining each commodity in the order form from the corresponding storage position in the storage area according to the user order form can be realized by the object positioning method provided in the following embodiment of the application.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an object positioning method according to an example embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the object positioning method provided in this embodiment includes:

s101, obtaining a user order and an object attribute information set corresponding to the user order.

In this step, the user order and an object attribute information set corresponding to the user order may be obtained, where the object attribute information set includes object attribute information of each target object in the user order. It should be noted that the object attribute information of each target object may be an inventory holding unit attribute of each product, and specifically, may include size information, price information, weight information, sales information, and the like of the product.

Here, if the physical dimensions (length, width, height, volume), shape, weight, and the like of a commodity exceed a certain range of attributes, the commodity can be defined as a special-shaped product. And if the sales promotion amount of the commodity in the storeroom exceeds the preset sales amount, the commodity can be defined as an explosive product.

And S102, determining the order attribute of the user order according to the object attribute information set and the preset object classification condition.

After the object attribute information set corresponding to the user order is obtained, the order attribute of the user order can be determined according to the object attribute information set and a preset object classification condition, wherein the preset object classification condition is used for identifying a specific object in the user order, and the specific object is an object stored in a specific area. The preset object classification conditions can be used for identifying the special-shaped products or the explosive products, correspondingly, the special-shaped products are stored in the special-shaped product production area, and the explosive products are stored in the explosive product production area.

S103, if the order attributes are the target attributes, determining the target storage positions of all target objects in the user order in the logic area for picking according to the preset position matching conditions and the storage range levels of the warehousing system.

Since the efficiency of sorting general commodities is easily reduced when the general commodities and the special-shaped commodities are sorted together, and the efficiency of sorting explosive commodities is easily reduced when the general commodities and the explosive commodities are sorted together. Therefore, if the determined order attribute is the attribute of the explosive, the explosive can be independently positioned from the explosive production area, then the explosive is packaged into a package, and then the package is conveyed to the transportation area through a package conveying line to be delivered to the outside. And if the determined order attribute is the special-shaped product attribute, the special-shaped product can be independently positioned from the special-shaped product production area, then the special-shaped product is packaged into a package, and the package is conveyed to the transportation area through a package conveying line to be delivered to the outside.

And if the determined order attributes are common commodities, namely the order attributes are target attributes, determining target storage positions for picking each target object in the user order in the logic area according to preset position matching conditions and storage range levels of the warehousing system, wherein the target storage positions correspond to minimum storage range levels.

It will be appreciated that in a warehousing system there may be storage ranges comprising a plurality of levels, for example, the storage range levels comprising in sequence: the first storage range level corresponding to the logic area, the second storage range level corresponding to the storage area, the third storage range level corresponding to the roadway and the fourth storage range level corresponding to the storage position. When the order attribute is a common commodity, the current-level candidate range can be determined according to the user order and the object storage information of the warehousing system, the next-level candidate range is determined according to the user order and the object storage information of the current-level candidate range until the next-level candidate range is positioned to the level of the fourth storage range corresponding to the storage positions, so that the target storage positions corresponding to all the objects in the user order are determined, the flexible sorting shelf enables the target objects on the flexible sorting shelf to be conveyed to the comprehensive production area through the unit container conveying line according to the determined target storage positions, and further sorting work is carried out.

In this embodiment, the user order and the object attribute information set corresponding to the user order are acquired, the order attribute of the user order is determined according to the object attribute information set and the preset object classification condition, and if the order attribute is the target attribute, the target storage position for picking each target object in the user order in the logic area is determined according to the preset position matching condition and the storage range level of the warehousing system, so that automatic positioning of each target object in the user order is realized, the picking efficiency in the warehouse promotion system is improved, and further the comprehensive logistics cost is reduced.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an object positioning method according to another example embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 4, the object positioning method provided in this embodiment includes:

s201, receiving a customer order.

The user order and the object attribute information set corresponding to the user order can be obtained, wherein the user order can be a client order triggered by a user through a client. The object attribute information of each target object included in the object attribute information set may be an inventory holding unit attribute of each product, and specifically, may include size information, price information, weight information, sales information, and the like of the product.

S202, operating a production area order pool matching strategy.

After receiving the customer order, the order attribute of the customer order can be determined according to the object attribute information set and the preset object classification condition. Specifically, the order commodities can be matched to the corresponding production area according to the attribute of the commodity SKU in the order and the order pool matching strategy of the production area. Optionally, the above matching policy for the order pool of the production area may include: the order pool matching strategy of the special-shaped product area, the order pool matching strategy of the explosive product area and the order pool matching strategy of the comprehensive production area.

And S203, judging whether the customer order is matched with the comprehensive production area.

When the object attribute information corresponds to an abnormal product, the abnormal product area order pool matching strategy in the production area order pool matching strategy is used for positioning, and when the object attribute information corresponds to an explosive product, the explosive product area order pool matching strategy in the production area order pool matching strategy is used for positioning. And if the object attribute information does not correspond to the abnormal product or the explosive product, positioning by utilizing a comprehensive production area order pool matching strategy in the production area order pool matching strategy.

S204, judging whether the customer order is matched with the first specific area.

S205, positioning the order object of the first specific area.

S206, positioning the order object of the second specific area.

In S204-S206, if the object attribute information set includes the first attribute information, the order attribute is the first order attribute, and the first attribute information is used to represent that the external dimension of the target object exceeds the preset dimension range. And if the object attribute information set comprises second attribute information, the order attribute is a second order attribute, and the first attribute information is used for representing that the output quantity of the target object exceeds the preset quantity range. And if the object attribute information set does not comprise the first attribute information and the second attribute information, the order attribute is the target attribute.

If the order attribute is the first attribute information, it is determined that each target object in the user order is picked in the first specific area, for example, the target object is picked in the profile production area. And if the order attribute is second attribute information, determining that each target object in the user order is picked in a second specific area, wherein the specific areas comprise a first specific area and a second specific area, and for example, picking is carried out in a profile production area.

In a possible implementation manner, for the above matching policy of the order pool of the special-shaped product area, the following may be specifically performed:

the special-shaped product area mainly refers to the attributes that the overall dimension (length, width, height and volume), shape, weight and the like of the order commodity exceed a certain range, and the special-shaped product commodity cannot enter automatic equipment of the comprehensive production area for production. That is, when any commodity attribute in the order belongs to the special-shaped product, all commodities in the whole order enter the special-shaped product order pool. Optionally, the order commodities in the special-shaped commodity order pool can be selected in the existing collection single mode, individual area processing is conveniently carried out on special-shaped commodities, and the ex-warehouse efficiency of special commodity processing is improved. The judgment of the special-shaped goods can be matched according to the following functions:

IF YX(*i，j)＝1，P(∑i，j，YX)

wherein, i represents the code information of the commodity;

j, representing an order;

(xi, j) representing any item i within order j;

YX, for "profile";

YX (. i, j) ═ 1, represents that any commodity i in the order j is marked as the attribute of the special-shaped product;

p (sigma i, j, YX) represents that all commodities in the order j are matched into the order pool of the special-shaped product area;

the function shows that all the commodity attributes in the order j are judged, and if the attribute of any order commodity i is marked as the special-shaped item attribute, all the commodities in the order are matched to the special-shaped item area order pool.

In a possible implementation manner, for the explosive area order pool matching policy, the following may be specifically performed:

the explosive mainly refers to the attribute of the explosive which is determined by the descending order of the number of all commodities sold in the previous period and has the maximum sales promotion amount in the storehouse; when any commodity in the order is marked as an explosive attribute, all commodities in the order are matched with an explosive area order pool (the commodities in the order pool in the explosive area are all sorted in the existing collection order mode, so that the commodities with the explosive attribute can be rapidly produced in batches, the ex-warehouse efficiency is improved), and the judgment is carried out according to the following functions:

IF BP(*i，j)＝1，P(∑i，j，BP)

wherein, BP represents 'explosive';

BP (±, j) ═ 1, indicates that any commodity i in the order j is marked as an explosive attribute;

p (Σ i, j, BP) represents that all commodities in the order j are matched into the order pool of the explosive area;

and the function represents that the attributes of all the commodities in the order j are judged, and if the attribute of any commodity i is marked as the attribute of the explosive, all the commodities in the order are matched into the order pool of the explosive area.

Based on the above matching strategy for the order pool in the special-shaped product area and the matching strategy for the order pool in the explosive product area, the matching strategy for the order pool in the comprehensive production area may be as follows:

when all commodities in the order are not special-shaped products and also not explosive products, all the commodities in the order are matched into an order pool of the comprehensive production area, and the judgment is carried out according to the following functions:

IF YX(∑i，j)＝0and BP(∑i，j)＝0，P(∑i，j，ZH)

wherein, (∑ i, j) represents all the commodities i in all the orders j (one order contains several commodities);

YX (sigma i, j) is 0, which indicates that all the commodities i in the order j do not belong to the special-shaped product;

BP (sigma i, j) is 0, which indicates that all the commodities i in the order j do not belong to explosive products;

ZH, meaning "synthetic";

the function shows that when all commodities in the order j do not belong to the special-shaped products and do not belong to the explosive products at the same time, all the commodities in the order are matched to the order pool of the comprehensive production area.

If the order is not matched with the comprehensive production area, preferentially judging whether the order is matched with the special-shaped production area, and if the order is matched with the order pool of the special-shaped product production area, directly positioning the order commodity of the special-shaped product production area; and if the order pool of the explosive area is matched, positioning the order commodities of the explosive area. And if the order commodity is matched with the comprehensive production area, carrying out subsequent steps to position the order commodity.

And S207, operating a logical area operation balance matching strategy.

And S208, operating a storage area operation balance matching strategy.

And S209, operating a roadway operation balance matching strategy.

And S210, operating a storage operation balance matching strategy.

For S207-S210, the target storage positions of the target objects in the user order to be picked in the logical area may be determined according to the preset position matching conditions and the storage range level of the warehousing system. In the layer-by-layer positioning process, the current-level candidate range may be determined according to the user order and the object storage information of the warehousing system, and the next-level candidate range may be determined according to the user order and the object storage information of the current-level candidate range, where the object storage information is used to record the storage object of each storage position in the warehousing system. Until the determined candidate range is the storage range level corresponding to the target storage position.

In a possible storage range level setting manner, a first storage range level corresponding to the logical area, a second storage range level corresponding to the storage area, a third storage range level corresponding to the lane, and a fourth storage range level corresponding to the storage bit may be used.

At this time, for the operation balance matching strategy of the logic area, that is, the current-stage candidate range corresponds to the first storage range level, and the next-stage candidate range corresponds to the second storage range level, specifically, the number of the logic area may be determined according to the user order and the first object storage information of the warehousing system, where the number of the logic area is the minimum number of the logic areas storing all the target objects in the user order in the warehousing system, and each logic area corresponding to the minimum number of the logic areas is the logic area to be selected.

And if the number of the logic areas is greater than or equal to 2, determining the number of the storage areas according to a first sub-order in the user order and second object storage information of the target logic area, wherein the number of the storage areas is the minimum number of the storage areas in the target logic area, in which all target objects in the first sub-order are stored, and each storage area corresponding to the minimum number of the storage areas is a storage area to be selected.

Specifically, a logical area minimum strategy may be adopted. That is, all the logic areas of the product locatable inventory in the order are collected, the set of the number of the logic areas where all the products in each order can be locatable is calculated, and the following functions are solved:

Min F(LJ_u，∑i，j)＝x，x∈(1，2，3，…)

wherein, LJ_uRepresents a logical area u, u ∈ (1,2, 3, …);

Min F(LJ_usigma i, j) which represents that all commodities in the order j can be positioned and then an intersection function is solved to calculate the number of the logic areas to be positioned;

when x is equal to 1, it indicates that all the items in the order j can be located in one logical area (possibly logical area 1, logical area 2, or other logical areas, in this embodiment, 2 logical areas), and if only one logical area is located, the item in the order is directly located in the logical area. If the orders can be located in multiple logic areas at this time, the orders are located from small to large according to the order of the logic area numbers (that is, the orders are located in the logic area 1 if the logic area 1 and the logic area 2 can both complete the location of all the orders).

When x is larger than or equal to 2, all the commodities in the order j are positioned in 2 or more than 2 logic areas, and at the moment, the commodities cannot be positioned in a specific logic area, and positioning is continued according to a subsequent strategy.

Further, a logic area comprehensive operation cost strategy can be adopted, when a plurality of logic areas are positioned, matching is carried out according to the logic area comprehensive operation cost strategy, the warehouse-out cost of the positioned order commodities in the logic areas and the conveying distance cost of the logic areas are respectively calculated, and calculation is carried out according to the following functions:

Min α₁×Z(LJ_u，∑i)+α₂×Z(LJ_u，l_u)

wherein, Z (LJ)_uΣ i) representing the logical area LJ_uThe warehouse-out cost of all positioned order commodities;
