When the server is software, it may be implemented as a plurality of software or software modules, for example, for providing distributed services, or as a single software or software module. The present invention is not particularly limited herein.
With continued reference to fig. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method for generating information according to the present disclosure is shown. The method for generating information comprises the following steps:
in step 201, order information is received, the order information comprising item information and a positioning quantity of an item to be positioned.
In this embodiment, the order information characterizes the positioning needs of the user, and may include, for example, item information of the item to be positioned: item name, SKU (Stock Keeping Unit, base unit for inventory access metering), form factor, weight, mass market item labels, etc., and quantity of location.
In a specific example, the executing entity may be the server 105 shown in fig. 1, on which the WMS system is running, and an operator of the warehouse may communicate with the executing entity through a handheld terminal. When the operator receives the positioning request of the client, the order information characterizing the positioning requirement of the user can be sent to the execution body through the handheld terminal, and the order information can include, for example: item name, location quantity, order number, order type, etc.
Step 202, determining order configuration information of order information based on the order information. The order configuration information includes an order type and capacity configuration information of the inventory scenario, the capacity configuration information characterizing an operational status of the picking device in the inventory scenario.
In this embodiment, the order configuration information may represent matching conditions of the positioning scenario, which are used to determine the positioning scenario corresponding to the order information. The order type may characterize the overall characteristics of the order and may also characterize the characteristic properties of the items in the order, e.g., the order type is a general order, a single order, a batch order, a large order, a mass order, etc. The picking device characterizes devices for handling items in an inventory scenario, which may be, for example, a warehouse AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle ), a warehouse AMR (Automated Mobile Robot, autonomous mobile robot), a forklift, or the like.
As an example, the executing entity may determine order configuration information in the following manner: firstly, extracting article information, such as the name of an article to be positioned, from order information, and then determining the order type by an execution main body based on the corresponding relation between the pre-stored article information and the order type; and then, the execution main body determines the goods picking equipment for carrying the goods to be positioned based on the corresponding relation between the pre-stored goods and the goods picking equipment, and inquires the current working state of the type of goods picking equipment in the ex-warehouse scene from the WMS system to obtain capacity configuration information, thereby obtaining order configuration information of order information.
For another example, when generating order information, the operator may insert the order type and capacity configuration information into the order information in advance, so that the execution subject only needs to extract relevant information from the order information to determine the order configuration information of the order information.
Step 203, traversing a preset positioning scene library based on the order configuration information, wherein the positioning scene library comprises a pre-configured positioning scene.
In this embodiment, the localization scene characterizes a pre-configured localization logic. The warehouse operator can pre-configure the positioning scenes based on the service requirement, and store the configured positioning scenes into a positioning scene library, and each positioning scene can correspond to at least one positioning logic. The positioning scene library may be stored in the execution body or may be stored in the cloud, which is not limited in this application.
As an example, the positioning scenario may be configured based on the handling manner of the item, at which time each pool area in the inventory scenario may be marked in advance in the WMS system based on the handling manner. For example, the positioning scene may include a preferential positioning robot scene or a preferential positioning forklift scene, where the preferential positioning robot scene corresponds to positioning logic that preferentially searches for the storage locations of the articles to be handled in the storage areas handled by the robot, and searches for the storage areas not handled by the robot only when the number of storage locations of the articles to be handled included in the storage areas handled by the robot cannot satisfy the positioning number. The positioning logic corresponding to the preferential positioning forklift scene is to search the warehouse location of the articles to be conveyed in the warehouse area conveyed by the forklift preferentially, and the warehouse area not conveyed by the forklift is searched only when the number of the warehouse locations of the articles to be conveyed in the warehouse area conveyed by the forklift cannot meet the positioning number.
For another example, the positioning scenario may also be configured based on physical characteristics of the items, which may include a priority retrieval of a large item scenario for which a large item is applicable, and a priority retrieval of a small item scenario for which a small item is applicable. At this time, each bin in the inventory scene may be marked in the WMS system based on the physical characteristics of the item, which may include, for example, a large item bin, a small item bin.
For another example, the positioning scenario may be configured based on sales characteristics of the items, and may include preferentially searching for a top-sales scenario and preferentially searching for a non-top-sales scenario, where each bin in the inventory scenario may be marked in the WMS system based on sales characteristics of the items, and may include, for example, a top-sales bin and a non-top-sales bin.
In response to determining that there is a location context in the location context library that matches the order configuration information, the location context is determined to be the target location context for the order information, step 204.
In this embodiment, the target location scene representation is a scene suitable for determining the repository location of the item to be located.
As an example, the executing body may pre-store a correspondence list of order configuration information and positioning scenes, and thus, the executing body may determine, as a target positioning scene, a positioning scene corresponding to the order configuration information from the correspondence list. The corresponding relation list of the order configuration information and the positioning scene can be pre-constructed by an operator based on service requirements.
In another example, the execution body may also determine, by using a semantic analysis manner, a matching degree between the order type and/or capacity configuration information and the location scene name, and determine a location scene with the highest matching degree as a target location scene of the order information.
Step 205 determines a number of location information from the inventory scenario based on the location policy indicated by the target location scenario.
In this embodiment, the positioning strategy characterizes positioning logic that determines the item library bits from the inventory scenario. The bin information characterizes a storage location of the item to be positioned in the inventory scene.
With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of an application scenario of an embodiment of the method shown in fig. 2. In the scenario 300 shown in fig. 3, the executing body 301 may be a server or a terminal device, and the smart phone 302 may be a handheld terminal of a warehouse operator, where the executing body may communicate with the smart phone through a network. When the operator can send the order information to the execution subject through the smart phone, the order information can include information such as order number, order type, capacity configuration information, marketable product identifier, article name, positioning quantity and the like. The executing body may extract order configuration information from the order information, which may include, for example, an order number, an order type, capacity configuration information, and a best-selling item identification, and then determine a best-matching target positioning scenario in a positioning scenario library based on the order configuration information. As shown in fig. 3, two items to be positioned in order information correspond to two target positioning scenes, respectively: preferably locating a robot scene and preferably locating a forklift scene. And then, the execution main body determines the library position information of the commodity A and the commodity B from the WMS according to the positioning strategy indicated by the target positioning scene respectively, and sends the library position information to the intelligent mobile phone 302 so as to facilitate the operator to complete the picking task.
According to the method and the device for generating the information, the order configuration information is extracted from the order information, then the target positioning scene matched with the order configuration information is determined from the pre-configured positioning scenes, the library position information is determined according to the positioning strategy indicated by the target positioning scene, the same positioning scene can be suitable for various orders, the inventory positioning logic can be expanded only by configuring the positioning scene, development cost is reduced, and accuracy of inventory positioning is improved.
With further reference to fig. 4, a flow 400 of yet another embodiment of a method for generating information is shown. The flow 400 of the method for generating information comprises the steps of:
in step 401, order information is received, the order information comprising item information and a positioning quantity of an item to be positioned. This step corresponds to the aforementioned step 201, and will not be described here again.
Step 402, determining order configuration information of the order information based on the order information, wherein the order configuration information comprises an order type and capacity configuration information of an inventory scene, and the capacity configuration information represents the working state of the picking equipment in the inventory scene. This step corresponds to the aforementioned step 202, and will not be described here again.
Step 403, traversing a preset positioning scene library based on the order configuration information, wherein the positioning scene library comprises a pre-configured positioning scene. This step corresponds to the aforementioned step 203, and will not be described here again.
In this embodiment, the positioning policy includes a positioning priority, where the positioning priority includes a positioning priority of each pool area in the storage scene and a positioning priority of each storage packet in each pool area, and the storage packet characterizes a pool bit set determined based on a preset packet policy.
Thus, the execution body can sequentially search each storage area and each storage group in the storage area according to the order of the priority from high to low until the determined number of the storage bits reaches the positioning number.
Further, the item information includes an item identification of the item to be positioned, the item identification including at least one of: batch identification, quality identification and user identification; the positioning strategy also comprises a positioning mode, wherein the positioning mode comprises single-group positioning and multi-group positioning, the single-group positioning characterization determines a preset number of library bits from one storage group, and the multi-group positioning characterization determines a preset number of library bits from more than one storage group; and the order configuration information further comprises a positioning mode identifier determined based on the article identifier, wherein the positioning mode identifier characterizes the positioning mode.
In this embodiment, the item identifier may characterize the requirement of the user for the attribute of the item when requesting positioning, for example, the lot identifier characterizes a production lot of the item, and the user may define, through the lot identifier, that the item to be positioned belongs to one or more production lots; the quality indicator may characterize a quality grade of the item, and may include, for example, good, and good; the user identification may characterize a user identification of a manufacturer or seller of the item.
In an actual scene, a user can define a positioning mode of the same article to be positioned according to own requirements, for example, the same article to be positioned has a plurality of package types, and each package type is respectively stored in different storage groups in an inventory scene. If the user needs to limit that all the articles to be positioned belong to the same package type, the positioning mode can be determined to be single-group positioning, so that the execution main body can sequentially search each storage group according to the positioning priority, and if the number of the library bits in the current storage group cannot meet the positioning number, the next storage group is searched according to the positioning priority until the number of the library bits in the same storage group reaches the positioning number. If the number of the package types is not required to be limited by the user, the positioning mode can be determined to be a multi-grouping mode, so that the execution body can sequentially search each storage grouping according to the positioning priority, if the number of the library bits in the current storage grouping is a first library bit number and the first library bit number is smaller than the positioning number, other storage groupings are searched according to the priority, and the second library bit number is determined from the other storage groupings, so that the sum of the first library bit number and the second library bit number is equal to the positioning number.
In this embodiment, the location mode identifier in the order configuration information characterizes the location mode of the order information. As an example, the executing body may pre-store a correspondence list between the item identifier and the positioning mode identifier, so that the executing body may determine the positioning mode identifier in the order configuration information according to the item identifier of the item to be positioned.
Step 404, in response to determining that no positioning scene matching the order configuration information exists in the positioning scene library, performing the following steps of constructing a newly added positioning scene:
step 4041, determining the positioning priority corresponding to the order information based on the preset correspondence between the order type and the positioning priority and/or the correspondence between the type of the picking device and the positioning priority.
As an example, the execution body may determine a positioning priority according to the order type. If the order type is a free-selling order, the execution body may determine that the positioning priority of the order information is to preferentially position the free-selling item according to a preset corresponding relationship between the order type and the positioning priority, which may specifically include: and determining the positioning priority of each storage area according to the storage amount of the free articles in each storage area, and determining the positioning priority of each storage group in each storage area according to the storage amount of the free articles in each storage group in each storage area, wherein the larger the storage amount is, the higher the positioning priority is.
In another example, the executing body may determine the positioning priority based on the type of the order picking device. If the picking device in the capacity configuration information in the order configuration information is a forklift, the executing body may determine the positioning priority of the order information as a priority positioning forklift. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: and determining a warehouse area suitable for forklift transportation in the inventory scene as a higher positioning priority, and determining a warehouse area unsuitable for forklift transportation as a lower positioning priority.
As another example, the fulfillment entity may also determine a positioning priority based on the order type and the type of picking device. Specifically, the executing body may determine the priority score of each bin and each storage group in the bin based on the order type and the type of the picking device, respectively, so each bin and each storage group correspond to two priority scores, respectively, the executing body ranks all bins according to a weighted sum of the two priority scores of each bin, determines the positioning priority of the bin according to the ranked position, and similarly, may determine the positioning priority of the storage group.
Step 4042, determining the positioning mode corresponding to the order information based on the item identification.
Step 4043, generating a new positioning scene based on the positioning priority and the positioning mode corresponding to the order information.
In this embodiment, the positioning priority and the positioning mode characterize the positioning logic of the newly added positioning scene.
In one specific example, the executing subject runs with a WMS. An operator can select a corresponding positioning priority from preconfigured positioning priority options through a front-end page of the WMS, select a corresponding positioning mode from positioning mode options, and then associate the positioning priority with the positioning mode to determine the positioning logic of the newly added positioning scene, so that the newly added positioning scene is obtained.
Step 4044, determining the newly added positioning scene as the target positioning scene corresponding to the order information.
Step 4045, the newly added positioning scene is stored in the positioning scene library.
As an example, the execution body may store the newly added positioning scene in a preset positioning scene library, and construct a corresponding relationship list of the newly added positioning scene and the order configuration information, so as to expand the positioning scene library.
Step 405 determines a number of location information from the inventory scenario based on the location policy indicated by the target location scenario. This step corresponds to the aforementioned step 205, and will not be described here again.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the flow 400 of the method for generating information in this embodiment reflects the step of constructing a new positioning scene based on order information, and the positioning strategy matched with the order information can be determined only by configuring the positioning scene, so that flexibility of inventory positioning can be improved, and development of a new positioning strategy from a code layer is avoided, thereby being beneficial to reducing development cost.
In some optional implementations of the above embodiments, the order information is generated via the steps of: acquiring positioning request information, wherein the positioning request information comprises article information and positioning quantity of at least one article to be positioned; determining the type of the picking equipment for carrying the object to be positioned and the order type corresponding to the positioning request information based on the object information; determining the working state of the picking equipment pointed by the type of the picking equipment in the inventory scene to obtain capacity configuration information; order information is generated based on the positioning request information, the order type, and the capacity configuration information.
