The present embodiment, which also passes through, changes order arrival rate and storage robot quantity, and analysis different scenes place an order when servicing Between, storage the robot waiting time and storage robot utilization rate.Fig. 4 is that the storage robot quantity variation of A scene takes order The influence of business time, storage robot waiting time and robot utilization rate of storing in a warehouse.Fig. 5 is that B scene storage robot quantity becomes Change the influence to order placement service time, storage robot waiting time and robot utilization rate of storing in a warehouse.Fig. 6 is C scene storage machine Influence of the device number amount variation to order placement service time, storage robot waiting time and robot utilization rate of storing in a warehouse.
By changing order arrival rate and storage robot quantity, analysis different scenes place an order service time, storage machine Device people's waiting time and storage robot utilization rate the specific implementation process is as follows:
(1) order placement service time analysis
In Fig. 4 (a), (a) in Fig. 5, (a) when order arrival rate is lower, increases storage it is found that under same scene in Fig. 6 Influence of the robot quantity to the order placement service time is smaller;When order arrival rate is gradually increasing, increase storage robot quantity, energy Order placement service time and storage robot waiting time is enough effectively reduced, and reduced rate is as the increase of order arrival rate is in rising Trend;When storage robot quantity is more and more, influence of the robot quantity of storing in a warehouse to the order placement service time is smaller and smaller, finally Tend to 0, be further added by storage robot quantity at this time and be not worth for system, main cause is when storage robot can expire When the demand of sufficient current order arrival rate, being further added by storage robot quantity will increase storage robot free time, reduce storehouse Robot utilization rate is stored up, the storage robot waiting time for waiting storage robot to generate without reducing order.
In A scene, in Fig. 3 (a) it is found that with order arrival rate increase, 2 storage robots are relative to 1 Store in a warehouse robot reduction the order placement service time it is more and more, if continue growing storage robot quantity, the order placement service time Rate of descent is lower and lower and tends to 0, and the order placement service time is minimum value at this time, if only considering order placement service time minimum principle, Storage robot quantity is optimal.
Similarly, in scenario B when order arrival rate is in 800-1000/h, 6-12 storage robots are corresponding to be ordered Single service time is not much different, and reduced rate is basically unchanged;When order arrival rate is in 1000-1400/h, 7 storages The order placement service time that than 6 storage robots of robot save increases with the increase of order arrival rate, uses 8-12 storehouses Storage robot and smaller using the order placement service time phase difference of 7 storage robots and reach unanimity.
In scene C when order arrival rate is in 1800-2000/h, the corresponding order of 14-18 storage robots Service time is not much different, and reduced rate is basically unchanged;When order arrival rate is in 2000-2200/h, 15 storage machines The order placement service time that than 14 storage robots of device people save increases with the increase of order arrival rate, uses 15-18 storehouses The order placement service time phase difference for storing up robot is smaller, and reduced rate is almost the same;When order arrival rate be in 2200-2300/ When h, the order placement service time that than 14 storage robots of 15 storage robots save increases with the increase of order arrival rate, The order placement service time that than 15 storage robots of 16 storage robots save also increases with the increase of order arrival rate, makes Order placement service time phase difference with 16-18 storage robots is smaller, and reduced rate is almost the same.
(2) storage robot waiting time analysis
In Fig. 4 (b), (b) in Fig. 5, in Fig. 6 (b) it is found that when order arrival rate is increasing, robot quantity of storing in a warehouse Constant, the storage robot waiting time rises with it, and main cause is when order taking responsibility amount increases, and order waits storage robot The storage robot waiting time of generation increases;When order arrival rate is constant, the storage robot waiting time is with storage robot The increase of quantity is constantly reduced.
(3) storage robot Utilization Ratio Analysis
In Fig. 4 (c), (c) in Fig. 5, in Fig. 6 (c) it is found that when order arrival rate is increasing, robot quantity of storing in a warehouse Constant, storage robot utilization rate rises with it;When order arrival rate is constant, since the increase of storage robot quantity leads to storehouse Storage robot free time increases, and storage robot utilization rate constantly reduces.
According to order placement service time, storage robot waiting time and storage robot Utilization Ratio Analysis, it can be deduced that with Draw a conclusion:
When order taking responsibility increases, order arrival rate rises, the Multilayer shuttle car storage transportation system based on storage robot The order placement service time of system can be reduced by being continuously increased storage robot, improve system effectiveness, tradition is avoided to wear more The sorting bottleneck generated due to pipeline blocking that system occurs, high degree increase the flexibilities for wearing system, system storage more Capacity is bigger, and order arrival rate is higher, and the advantage for the robot that stores in a warehouse is more obvious, but the robot that ought store in a warehouse increases to certain amount, Order placement service time reduced rate reaches saturation, cannot improve sorting efficiency by storage robot quantity is increased again at this time.
In the case where system goes out the limited situation of storage ability, the Multilayer shuttle car storage transportation system tool based on storage robot There is biggish flexibility, can increase storage robot quantity by using storage robot and in a certain range reduces order Service time improves and sorts efficiency.
It can be seen from the above description that above-mentioned one or more embodiments realize following technical effect:
(1) in the case where system goes out the limited situation of storage ability, the Multilayer shuttle car storage delivery system based on storage robot System has biggish flexibility, and can be increased storage robot quantity by using storage robot and in a certain range is reduced The order placement service time improves and sorts efficiency;
