參閱『圖5』，當待裝箱的該子貨架111、121、131上的商品抵達該揀貨台31後(即完成『圖2』的步驟)，且當該容器26抵達該揀貨台31後(即完成『圖4』的步驟)，該揀貨機器人32c將該商品A、該商品B及該商品C放入該容器26中。在其他實施例中，當待裝箱的該子貨架111、121、131先抵達該揀貨台31，而該容器26尚未抵達該揀貨台31，該揀貨機器人32c也可將該商品A、該商品B及該商品C先放在該揀貨台31的一暫存區，此時，該第一搬移機器人511、512、513就可將該子貨架111、121、131送回該貨架11、12、13，並進行下一個任務。 Referring to "FIG. 5", when the commodities on the sub-racks 111, 121, 131 to be packed arrive at the picking table 31 (ie, the step of "FIG. 2" is completed), and when the container 26 arrives at the picking table After 31 (ie, the step of “ FIG. 4 ” is completed), the picking robot 32c puts the commodity A, the commodity B and the commodity C into the container 26 . In other embodiments, when the sub-racks 111 , 121 , and 131 to be packed reach the picking table 31 first, and the container 26 has not yet reached the picking table 31 , the picking robot 32c can also pick the commodity A , the commodity B and the commodity C are first placed in a temporary storage area of the picking table 31, at this time, the first As soon as the transfer robots 511, 512, 513 are moved, the sub-racks 111, 121, 131 can be returned to the racks 11, 12, 13, and the next task can be performed.

參閱『圖6』，完成『圖5』後，該第二搬移機器人52自該揀貨台31將裝有該些商品的該容器26沿著該出貨通道72運送至該自動封箱模組40的該接收區41。 Referring to "FIG. 6", after completing "FIG. 5", the second transfer robot 52 transports the container 26 containing the commodities from the picking table 31 to the automatic case sealing module along the shipping channel 72 40 of the receiving area 41 .

接著參閱『圖7』，該自動封箱模組40的該封箱裝置43自該接收區41取得裝有該些商品的該容器26後，對該容器26進行一封箱作業以形成一密封箱體44，再將該密封箱體44運送至該第二輸出區42。該封箱裝置43對該容器26上部的包裝材自動化地進行凹折以封閉該開口，並將容器26的頂部貼膠密封而形成該密封箱體44。 Next, referring to FIG. 7 , after the sealing device 43 of the automatic box sealing module 40 obtains the container 26 containing the commodities from the receiving area 41 , the container 26 is sealed to form a seal. box 44 , and then transport the sealed box 44 to the second output area 42 . The box sealing device 43 automatically folds the packaging material on the upper part of the container 26 to close the opening, and glues the top of the container 26 to form the sealed box 44 .

另參閱『圖8』，為根據本新型一實施例的佈置示意圖。當該電腦裝置60接收到一第一訂單資料61a(商品A、商品B及商品C)以及一第二訂單資料61b(商品A及商品D)，該電腦裝置60控制該第一搬移機器人511、512、513、514自該貨架11、12、13、14上揀取裝有商品A、商品B、商品C及商品D的該子貨架111、121、131、141，以及控制該開箱裝置23基於該第一訂單資料61a及該第二訂單資料61b選擇具有對應尺寸的該第一包裝材24或該第二包裝材25。本例中，該第一訂單資料61a的商品總體積及所需容器大於該第二訂單資料61b。接著，對該第二包裝材25以及該第一包裝材24進行該開箱作業以分別形成一第一容器26a以及一第二容器26b(該第二包裝材25及該第一包裝材24分別對應該第一容器26a及該第二容器26b，該第一容器26a大於該第二容器26b，圖僅為示意)。接著，該自動揀貨模組30根據該第一訂單資料61a將商品A、商品B及商品C放入該第一容器26a，且根據該第二訂單資料61b將商品A及商品D放入該第二容器26b中，並透過該自動封箱模組40進行該封箱作業。如圖所示，該無人化物流訂單處理系統100是在接收到該訂單資料61a、61b後，才決定針對何種規格的包裝材進行開箱，以實現按需供箱的物流流程。 Also refer to "FIG. 8", which is a schematic diagram of an arrangement according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the computer device 60 receives a first order data 61a (product A, product B and product C) and a second order data 61b (product A and product D), the computer device 60 controls the first transfer robot 511, 512, 513, 514 pick up the sub-shelves 111, 121, 131, 141 that contain commodity A, commodity B, commodity C and commodity D from the shelves 11, 12, 13, 14, and control the unpacking device 23 The first packaging material 24 or the second packaging material 25 having the corresponding size is selected based on the first order data 61a and the second order data 61b. In this example, the total product volume and the required container of the first order data 61a are larger than the second order data 61b. Next, the unpacking operation is performed on the second packaging material 25 and the first packaging material 24 to form a first container 26a and a second container 26b (the second packaging material 25 and the first packaging material 24 respectively) Corresponding to the first container 26a and the second container 26b, the first container 26a is larger than the second container 26b, the figure is only a schematic diagram). Next, the automatic picking module 30 puts the product A, the product B and the product C into the first container 26a according to the first order data 61a, and puts the product A and the product D into the first container 26a according to the second order data 61b in the second container 26b, and through the automatic sealing The box module 40 performs the box sealing operation. As shown in the figure, the unmanned logistics order processing system 100 decides which specification of packaging material to unpack after receiving the order data 61a and 61b, so as to realize the logistics process of supplying boxes on demand.

該系統乃根據該訂單資料而估算出總商品所需的體積，進而根據尺寸決定擬選擇的該包裝材，才針對該包裝材進行開箱而形成該容器，換言之，該系統為按照需求才決定擬開箱的包裝材。該包裝材在開箱前的所占體積小(通常為扁平狀的紙板)，以一樣的空間來說，存放單一紙箱的空間可放置數十張包裝材，大幅增加了倉儲效率。且當該包裝材在開箱後成形為立體的該容器後，即接續進行裝貨、封箱以及出貨，佔據倉儲設施的時間短。配合該自動開箱模組以及該自動封箱模組的配置，可在無需人工操作的情況下達到按需供箱之功效，有效增加包裝效率並減省倉儲的空間。 The system estimates the required volume of the total product according to the order data, and then determines the packaging material to be selected according to the size, and then unpacks the packaging material to form the container. In other words, the system decides according to demand Packaging material to be unpacked. The packaging material occupies a small volume (usually flat cardboard) before unpacking, and in the same space, dozens of packaging materials can be placed in the space for storing a single carton, which greatly increases the storage efficiency. And when the packaging material is formed into a three-dimensional container after unpacking, loading, sealing and shipping are carried out successively, and the time occupied by the storage facility is short. With the configuration of the automatic unpacking module and the automatic sealing module, the effect of supplying boxes on demand can be achieved without manual operation, which can effectively increase packaging efficiency and reduce storage space.
