下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图,对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
本公开的任务单包括用户订单和集合单。其中的集合单是将很多个订单放在一起,作为一个整体的拣货任务单,目的是把多个订单中重合的货物放在一起拣选,减少货架搬运次数。The task orders of the present disclosure include user orders and collection orders. The collection order is to put many orders together as a whole picking task order, the purpose is to put together the goods in multiple orders and pick them together to reduce the number of shelves.
图1为本公开的拣选货物的***一些实施例的示意图。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of a system for picking goods in the present disclosure.
如图1所示,拣选区域包括拣选作业区11,缓存区12,生产区13。该实施例的拣选货物的***包括:分别位于拣选作业区11的不同分区111的多个拣货工作站112,位于缓存区12的多条缓存线122,位于生产区13的打包设备133,设置在拣选作业区11与缓存区12之间的第一传输装置14,以及设置在缓存区12与生产区13之间的第二传输装置15。第一传输装置14和第二传输装置15为传输线或搬运设备等具有货 物搬运能力或传输能力的设备。As shown in FIG. 1, the picking area includes a picking operation area 11, a buffer area 12, and a production area 13. The system for picking goods in this embodiment includes a plurality of picking stations 112 respectively located in different sections 111 of the picking operation area 11, a plurality of buffer lines 122 located in the buffer area 12, and a packing device 133 located in the production area 13. A first transfer device 14 between the picking operation area 11 and the buffer area 12, and a second transfer device 15 provided between the buffer area 12 and the production area 13. The first transmission device 14 and the second transmission device 15 are equipment having a cargo transportation capability or a transmission capability such as a transmission line or a transportation equipment.
拣选作业区11被划分为多个分区111,每个分区111配置本分区的拣货工作站112。搬运设备只需要负责分区范围内货架的搬运工作,即,搬运设备将本分区内有拣货任务的货架搬运至本分区的拣货工作站,不需要在整个拣选作业区工作,因此缩短了搬运路程和提高了拣选效率。The picking operation area 11 is divided into a plurality of partitions 111, and each partition 111 is configured with a picking station 112 of the partition. The handling equipment only needs to be responsible for the handling of the shelves within the zone, that is, the handling equipment moves the shelves with the picking task in this zone to the picking station in this zone, and does not need to work in the entire picking operation area, thus shortening the handling distance. And improved picking efficiency.
拣货工作站112对货物的拣选顺序为任务单的下发顺序。一个任务单的被拆分成的多个子任务同时下发到相应各分区111的拣货工作站112。货物位置可以尽量分散,即,一个任务单的被拆分成的多个子任务尽量分散下发到多个分区的拣货工作站112,使得这些子任务要尽量均匀分布在各分区,从而使每个分区的出货速度比较接近,以便一个任务单的货物更快地集齐。例如,一个任务单的子任务A、B、C分别下发到位于分区1的拣货工作站、位于分区2的拣货工作站、分区3的拣货工作站,或者,子任务A、B下发到位于分区1的拣货工作站,子任务C下发到位于分区3的拣货工作站。前一示例的子任务分散程度比后一示例的子任务分散程度大,有利于该任务单的货物更快地拣选完成并集齐。The picking order of the goods by the picking station 112 is the order in which task orders are issued. A plurality of subtasks of a task list are divided and delivered to the picking stations 112 of the respective partitions 111 at the same time. The location of the goods can be dispersed as much as possible, that is, the multiple subtasks of a single work order are distributed to the picking stations 112 of multiple partitions as far as possible, so that these subtasks are distributed as evenly as possible in each partition, so that each The shipping speed of the divisions is relatively close, so that the goods of a task order can be gathered faster. For example, subtasks A, B, and C of a task order are respectively delivered to the picking station in partition 1, the picking station in partition 2, and the picking station in partition 3, or the subtasks A and B are sent to The sub-task C is sent to the picking station in the partition 1 to the picking station in the partition 3. The degree of dispersion of the sub-tasks of the previous example is greater than the degree of dispersion of the sub-tasks of the latter example, which is conducive to the goods of the task list being picked and completed more quickly.
货架搬运至拣货工作站后,工作人员在拣货工作站将货物从货架上取下,放进本次任务单的周转箱。当本分区的任务单的子任务结束后,周转箱通过第一传输装置14传输至缓存区。周转箱设置有供扫码用的标签,标签包括周转箱所来自的分区的信息和周转箱所属的任务单的信息。标签格式例如设置为A-B,其中,A表示周转箱所来自的分区的信息,B表示周转箱所属的任务单的信息。例如标签为1-2的周转箱,表示该周转箱是来自分区1且装载有订单2的货物。After the shelves are moved to the picking station, the staff removes the goods from the shelves at the picking station and puts them in the turnover box of this task list. After the sub-tasks of the task list of this partition are ended, the turnover box is transmitted to the buffer area through the first transmission device 14. The turnover box is provided with a label for code scanning, and the label includes information of the division from which the turnover box comes and information of the task order to which the turnover box belongs. The label format is set to, for example, A-B, where A represents the information of the division from which the turnover box comes, and B represents the information of the task order to which the turnover box belongs. For example, a turnover box with a label of 1-2 indicates that the turnover box is a cargo from zone 1 and loaded with order 2.
缓存区12的入口处设置有扫描站121。周转箱经过扫描站121时,扫描站121通过扫描完成周转箱的标签信息的采集,从而识别出周转箱所来自的分区的信息和周转箱所属的任务单的信息。根据周转箱所来自的分区的信息,以及各分区配置的缓存线,可以确定周转箱要被传输到的缓存线。A scanning station 121 is provided at the entrance of the buffer area 12. When the turnover box passes through the scanning station 121, the scanning station 121 completes the collection of the label information of the turnover box by scanning to identify the information of the partition from which the turnover box comes and the information of the task order to which the turnover box belongs. According to the information of the partition from which the turnover box comes from and the cache lines configured for each partition, the cache line to which the turnover box is to be transmitted can be determined.
每个拣货工作站112至少配置一条缓存线122,缓存线122可以缓存来自相应拣货工作站112的装载有货物的周转箱。不同的拣货工作站112配置不同的缓存线122。图1中示出了每个分区111配置一条缓存线122的情况。假设分区1对应缓存线1,分区2对应缓存线2,分区n对应缓存线n,那么,来自分区1的周转箱进入缓存线1,来自分区2的周转箱进入缓存线2,来自分区n的周转箱进入缓存线n。需要说明的是,拣货工作站与缓存线的对应关系并不限于一一对应的示例,一个拣货工作站还可 以配置多个缓存线,例如,分区1的拣货工作站对应缓存线1和2,分区2的拣货工作站对应缓存线3。Each picking station 112 is configured with at least one buffer line 122, and the buffer line 122 can buffer the turnover box loaded with goods from the corresponding picking station 112. Different picking stations 112 are configured with different buffer lines 122. FIG. 1 illustrates a case where one cache line 122 is configured for each partition 111. Suppose partition 1 corresponds to cache line 1, partition 2 corresponds to cache line 2, and partition n corresponds to cache line n. Then, the turnover box from partition 1 enters cache line 1 and the turnover box from partition 2 enters cache line 2. Turnover box enters cache line n. It should be noted that the correspondence between the picking station and the cache line is not limited to the example of one-to-one correspondence. One picking station can also be configured with multiple cache lines. For example, the picking station in partition 1 corresponds to cache lines 1 and 2. The picking station in zone 2 corresponds to buffer line 3.
缓存区12还包括异常处理线123,被配置为缓存扫码出现异常的周转箱。例如,当周转箱出现读取标签信息失败或是标签信息丢失等情况,为了不干扰其他缓存线作业,该周转箱进入异常处理线123,等待人工及时处理。The buffer area 12 further includes an exception processing line 123 configured to buffer the turnover box where the scan code is abnormal. For example, when the turnover box fails to read the tag information or the tag information is lost, in order not to interfere with other cache line operations, the turnover box enters the exception processing line 123 and waits for manual timely processing.
如图2所示,来自各个分区的多个周转箱在第一传输装置14上混合运输。由于各分区的拣货工作站按照任务单的下发顺序对货物进行拣选,因此每个分区出来的周转箱是按照任务单的下发顺序排列的,这样周转箱进入缓存线后,各条缓存线上周转箱是按照任务单的下发顺序排队等待集齐。As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of totes from each zone are mixed and transported on the first transfer device 14. Since the picking stations in each zone pick the goods according to the order in which the work orders are issued, the turnover boxes from each zone are arranged in the order in which the work orders are issued. In this way, after the turnover boxes enter the cache line, each cache line Last turnover box was queued in accordance with the order in which tasks were issued.
举例说明:for example:
假设拣选作业区划分为5个分区1,2,3,4,5,每个分区的拣货工作站配置一个缓存线,分区1,2,3,4,5的拣货工作站分别对应缓存线1,2,3,4,5。4个任务单各被拆分成5个子任务,任务单的下发顺序为任务单1,2,3,4,每个任务单的子任务同时分别下别到分区1,2,3,4,5的拣货工作站。Assume that the picking operation area is divided into five partitions 1,2,3,4,5, each picking station is configured with a buffer line, and the picking stations in partitions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 correspond to buffer line 1 respectively. , 2,3,4,5. Each of the 4 task orders is divided into 5 subtasks, and the order of the task orders is task orders 1,2,3,4, and the subtasks of each task order are issued separately at the same time. Go to the picking stations in zones 1,2,3,4,5.
则,分区1出来的周转箱按照任务单的下发顺序进入缓存线1,分区2出来的周转箱按照任务单的下发顺序进入缓存线2,分区3出来的周转箱按照任务单的下发顺序进入缓存线3,分区4出来的周转箱按照任务单的下发顺序进入缓存线4,分区5出来的周转箱按照任务单的下发顺序进入缓存线5。各分区出来的周转箱的情况和缓存线缓存的周转箱的情况分别如图3和图4所示。Then, the turnover box from partition 1 enters cache line 1 in the order in which the work order is issued, the turnover box from partition 2 enters cache line 2 in the order in which the work order is issued, and the turnover box from partition 3 is based on the work order Sequentially enter the cache line 3, the turnover box from the partition 4 enters the cache line 4 according to the order of the task order, and turnover box from the partition 5 enters the cache line 5 according to the order of the task order. The situation of the turnover box from each partition and the situation of the cache line cache turnover box are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively.
即,分区1出来的第一个周转箱标签为1-1,第二个周转箱标签为1-2,第三个周转箱标签为1-3,第四个周转箱标签为1-4。按照周转箱到达的先后顺序,缓存线1上的周转箱依次为1-1,1-2,1-3,1-4。分区2出来的第一个周转箱标签为2-1,第二个周转箱标签为2-2,第三个周转箱标签为2-3,第四个周转箱标签为2-4。缓存线2上的周转箱依次为2-1,2-2,2-3,2-4。分区3出来的第一个周转箱标签为3-1,第二个周转箱标签为3-2,第三个周转箱标签为3-3,第四个周转箱标签为3-4。缓存线3上的周转箱依次为3-1,3-2,3-3,3-4。分区4出来的第一个周转箱标签为4-1,第二个周转箱标签为4-2,第三个周转箱标签为4-3,第四个周转箱标签为4-4。缓存线4上的周转箱依次为4-1,4-2,4-3,4-4。分区5出来的第一个周转箱标签为5-1,第二个周转箱标签为5-2,第三个周转箱标签为5-3,第四个周转箱标签为5-4。缓存线5上的周转箱依次为5-1,5-2,5-3,5-4。That is, the first turnover box label from zone 1 is 1-1, the second turnover box label is 1-2, the third turnover box label is 1-3, and the fourth turnover box label is 1-4. According to the order in which the turnover boxes arrive, the turnover boxes on cache line 1 are 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4. The first turnover box label from Zone 2 is 2-1, the second turnover box label is 2-2, the third turnover box label is 2-3, and the fourth turnover box label is 2-4. Turnover boxes on cache line 2 are 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 in that order. The first turnover box label from zone 3 is 3-1, the second turnover box label is 3-2, the third turnover box label is 3-3, and the fourth turnover box label is 3-4. Turnover boxes on cache line 3 are 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4 in that order. The first turnover box label from zone 4 is 4-1, the second turnover box label is 4-2, the third turnover box label is 4-3, and the fourth turnover box label is 4-4. Turnover boxes on cache line 4 are 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4 in that order. The first turnover box label from zone 5 is 5-1, the second turnover box label is 5-2, the third turnover box label is 5-3, and the fourth turnover box label is 5-4. Turnover boxes on cache line 5 are 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, and 5-4 in that order.
待一个任务单的各周转箱集齐后,各缓存线122同时释放集齐的一个任务单的各周转箱到第二传输装置15。如图4所示,任务单1的5个周转箱(1-1,2-1,3-1,4-1,5-1)集齐后,同时释放到第二传输装置15,以便传输到下一个生产环节。After the turnover boxes of one task list are collected, each cache line 122 releases the turnover boxes of the collected one task list to the second transmission device 15 at the same time. As shown in FIG. 4, after the five turnover boxes (1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1) of task list 1 are collected, they are simultaneously released to the second transmission device 15 for transmission. Go to the next production link.
如图1所示,集齐的一个任务单的各周转箱传输至生产区13,并在生产区13完成打包处理。As shown in FIG. 1, each turnover box of a collected work order is transferred to the production area 13, and packaging processing is completed in the production area 13.
如图1所示,生产区13设置有若干工位131,通常有很多工位131。每个工位131设置有缓存位132和打包设备133。沿着周转箱的传输方向,在缓存位132的后面设置打包设备133。缓存位132可以缓存同一任务单的各周转箱,例如缓存集齐的一个任务单的各周转箱。一个任务单的各周转箱到达工位131后,从第二传输装置15上自动踢出到工位131的缓存位132进行缓存,然后打包设备133将缓存位上的一个任务单的各周转箱中的货物进行打包。该踢出操作可以保证前后两个任务单之间作业的连续性。As shown in FIG. 1, the production area 13 is provided with a plurality of stations 131, and usually there are many stations 131. Each station 131 is provided with a cache bit 132 and a packing device 133. A packing device 133 is provided behind the buffer bit 132 along the transfer direction of the turnover box. The cache bit 132 may cache each turnover box of the same task ticket, for example, cache each turnover box of a task ticket collected together. After each turnover box of a task ticket arrives at the station 131, it is automatically kicked out from the second transmission device 15 to the cache position 132 of the station 131 for caching, and then the packing device 133 will separate each turnover box of a task ticket on the cache position The goods are packed. The kick-out operation can ensure the continuity of the operation between the two task orders before and after.
图5为本公开的拣选货物的方法一些实施例的流程示意图。FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of some embodiments of a method for selecting goods according to the present disclosure.
如图5所示,该实施例的方法包括:步骤510~530。As shown in FIG. 5, the method in this embodiment includes steps 510 to 530.
在步骤510,同一任务单的多个子任务同时下发到拣选作业区中的各分区的拣货工作站,使得拣货工作站按照任务单的下发顺序对货物进行拣选。In step 510, multiple subtasks of the same task list are simultaneously issued to the picking workstations of each partition in the picking operation area, so that the picking workstation picks the goods in the order in which the task orders are issued.
在一些实施例中,一个任务单的多个子任务尽量分散下发到多个分区的拣货工作站,使得这些子任务要尽量均匀分布在各分区,从而使每个分区的出货速度比较接近,以便一个任务单的货物更快地集齐。In some embodiments, multiple subtasks of a task order are distributed to the picking stations of multiple partitions as far as possible, so that these subtasks are distributed as evenly as possible in each partition, so that the shipping speed of each partition is relatively close. So that the goods of a task list can be gathered more quickly.
在步骤520a,如果周转箱扫码正常,根据扫码得到的周转箱标签信息,将每个分区的拣货工作站拣选出来的装载有货物的周转箱传输至缓存区中该分区的拣货工作站对应的缓存线进行缓存。然后执行步骤530。In step 520a, if the turnover box scanning code is normal, according to the turnover box label information obtained by the scanning, the turnover box loaded with goods selected by the picking station in each partition is transferred to the corresponding picking station in the buffer area. The cache line for caching. Then step 530 is performed.
在步骤520b,如果周转箱扫码出现异常,将扫码出现异常的周转箱传输至缓存区的异常处理线,等待人工及时处理,避免干扰其他缓存线作业。In step 520b, if the turnover box scan code is abnormal, the turnover box with the scan code abnormality is transmitted to the abnormal processing line in the buffer area, waiting for manual processing in time to avoid interference with other cache line operations.
人工处理方式例如可以将扫码出现异常的周转箱中的货物放回相应的货架。The manual processing method can, for example, return the goods in the turnover box with abnormal scanning codes to the corresponding shelves.
在步骤530,控制各缓存线同时释放同一任务单的各周转箱,以便将同一任务单的各周转箱中的货物传输至生产区进行打包。In step 530, each buffer line is controlled to release each turnover box of the same work order at the same time, so as to transfer the goods in each turnover box of the same work order to the production area for packaging.
在一些实施例中,在周转箱传输至生产区后,将同一任务单的各周转箱踢出到生产区的缓存位,然后将缓存位上的同一任务单的各周转箱中的货物进行打包。该踢出操作可以保证前后两个订单之间作业的连续性。In some embodiments, after the turnover box is transferred to the production area, each turnover box of the same task order is kicked out to a buffer position in the production area, and then the goods in each turnover box of the same task order on the buffer position are packed. . This kick-out operation can ensure the continuity of the operation between the two orders before and after.
本公开将拣选作业区划分为多个分区,使得搬运设备只需要负责分区范围内货架的搬运工作,因此缩短了搬运路程和提高了拣选效率。并且,需要合流的任务单的载货周转箱会被各缓存线同时释放并传输至生产区进行打包,这种任务单的合流方式所需要的缓存线的数量根据拣选作业区的分区数量确定,相对于根据订单数量确定缓存线的数量,可以减少缓存线的数量,节约成本。以任务单为集合单为例,集合单中的订单数量可能有数十个,但拣选作业区的分区数量通常有几个,相应的,缓存线的数量级由数十个下降到几个。The present disclosure divides the picking operation area into a plurality of partitions, so that the handling equipment only needs to be responsible for the handling of the shelves in the range of the partition, thereby shortening the carrying distance and improving the picking efficiency. In addition, the cargo turnover boxes of the task orders that need to be merged will be released by each cache line at the same time and transferred to the production area for packaging. The number of cache lines required for this way of consolidating the task orders is determined by the number of partitions in the picking operation area. Compared with determining the number of cache lines according to the number of orders, the number of cache lines can be reduced and costs can be saved. Taking the task order as a collection order as an example, the number of orders in the collection order may be dozens, but the number of partitions in the picking operation area is usually several. Accordingly, the order of the cache line is reduced from dozens to several.
