Description

Order data processing method and device, electronic equipment and computer readable medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer information processing, and in particular, to an order data processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer readable medium.

Background

The order picking efficiency of the current-generation logistics warehouse is an important factor influencing the order fulfillment efficiency. The traditional mode is that a picker moves to a fixed inventory rack containing order items to pick the items according to a system-specified path, namely an 'operator finding' picking mode.

With the development of internet technology, in a novel logistics warehouse, a movable storage shelf containing order commodities is transported to a fixed picking workstation by using an automatic transporter, a picker of the integrated workstation picks the commodities, and a picking mode of 'goods finding operators' is realized to start displaying advantages. The use of a picking system with automated handlers improves the overall efficiency of system order picking. However, the sorted goods are usually transported to a packing station or a rechecking station by manual work, and have a certain transport distance, which increases the transportation labor and time and limits the order fulfillment efficiency.

The current order processing mode has the following disadvantages: the picking and packing links are disjointed, and the picked commodities are manually transported to a packing table or a rechecking table by the aid of a special person or a packager/a picker due to double-duty assistance; a certain conveying distance is provided, so that the conveying manpower and time are increased; limited by the transportation path, poor flexibility and low expandability.

Therefore, a new order data processing method, apparatus, electronic device and computer readable medium are needed.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method of order data processing according to an exemplary embodiment. The order data processing method 30 includes at least steps S302 to S308.

As shown in fig. 3, in S302, order data is obtained, where the order data includes at least one target product. The order data may be one or a group of item picking requests including items contained in the order. The goods picking request can be carried out in any communication mode suitable for the warehousing and storage system, and the picking and packaging integrated management device can select different components of the warehousing and storage system to complete the inventory request.

In S304, an inventory shelf identification of the at least one target item is determined. One or more inventory racks storing the items in the order are determined, wherein if there are multiple sets of inventory racks meeting the requirement, one set of racks can be selected according to a predetermined rule, for example, a set of inventory racks with the shortest total distance from the integration workstation is selected in any manner.

In S306, the at least one target item is obtained based on the inventory shelf identification. Wherein, the goods carrying equipment can be carrying equipment. For example, after determining which of the handling equipment is available, an optimal set of handling equipment is selected from the available handling equipment to handle a set of inventory racks storing items in an order to the corresponding integrated workstation. The optimal handling device may be, for example, the handling device closest to the inventory rack and the integration workstation.

In one embodiment, picking instructions including inventory racks and integrated workstation identification information may also be sent to the article handling equipment, for example, for the article handling equipment to transport the inventory racks to the integrated workstation for picking packaging. And after receiving the picking instruction, the carrying equipment moves to the inventory shelves storing the commodities in the order based on the inventory shelf identifications, and then jacks up the inventory shelves and carries the inventory shelves to the picking work station of the selected integration work station.

In S308, an integrated workstation identification and package shelf identification is determined based on the at least one target item. Specifically, for example, the at least one target commodity is placed in the corresponding integration workstation based on the integration workstation identification; and packaging the at least one target commodity in the integration workstation.

In one embodiment, where the integration workstations may be distributed to designated locations in the logistics inventory warehouse, one integration workstation may be selected from a plurality of integration workstations to complete order picking. More specifically, each inventory shelf may store one or more types of items to be picked from an order request.

In one embodiment, placing the at least one target item in a corresponding integration workstation based on the integration workstation identification further comprises: determining automated handling equipment based on inventory rack identification and the integrated workstation identification. May, for example, determine an article handling apparatus that handles inventory racks; and sending a picking instruction containing the inventory shelves and the identification information of the integrated workstation to the commodity carrying equipment so that the automatic carrying equipment can carry the inventory shelves to the corresponding integrated workstation for subsequent picking and packaging.

In one embodiment, after the optimal set of article handling devices is determined, a set of inventory racks storing articles in the order is shipped to a picking workstation of the selected corresponding integration workstation, article picking is performed at the picking workstation by a picking execution object (e.g., a picking operator or robot), and the picked articles to be packaged are stored in a shared order staging rack of the integration workstation. After all the goods in an order are picked, the packing workstation in the integrated workstation packs the goods in the same order by a packing execution object (such as a packing operator or a packer), wherein the optimal goods carrying device can be, for example, the goods carrying device closest to the picking position of the integrated workstation.

Pick picking grid positions and order escrow shelf grid positions may also be specified by the picking position indicators for pickers to pick. The position indicator is used to designate a starting position of the picked item on the inventory shelf. The order picker picks the items on the stock shelves at the picking position of the integration workstation according to the indicated item (e.g. by light beam irradiation and/or screen display), and places the picked order items in the designated order temporary storage shelf item at the side of the picking workstation according to the state indicating position. Where each scratch shelf compartment may correspond to an order, a status indicator light on the compartment status (e.g., illuminated) indicates the destination of the item currently being picked.

In S310, the at least one target item is packaged based on the integrated workstation identifier and the package shelf identifier. The integrated workstation identification comprises a picking identification, a temporary storage shelf identification and a packaging identification; the packaging processing of the at least one target commodity comprises the following steps: performing picking processing on the at least one target commodity based on the picking identifier and the temporary storage rack identifier; and packaging the at least one target commodity based on the packaging identifier and the temporary storage shelf identifier.

In one embodiment, the picking of the at least one target item based on the picking and staging shelf identifications comprises: placing the at least one target item into a corresponding picking position based on the picking identification; picking the at least one target item at the picking position; and placing the at least one target item after picking in a staging shelf based on the staging shelf identification.

More specifically, a picking instruction comprising inventory shelf goods grids and order goods identification and order temporary storage shelf goods grid identification of the integrated workstation is sent to a picking workstation of the integrated workstation, so that a picking execution object can pick the specific goods grids of the inventory shelf according to the picking instruction and store the picked order goods into the corresponding goods grids of the order temporary storage shelf in order units. The order temporary storage shelf is shared by a picking workstation and a packing workstation of the integrated workstation and is used for temporarily storing commodities to be packed and taking orders as units, and the commodities can be packed after the orders are picked.

In one embodiment, the packaging the at least one target product based on the packaging identifier and the temporary storage shelf identifier comprises: acquiring the at least one target commodity based on the temporary storage shelf identifier; placing the at least one target commodity into a packing position based on the packing identification; and packaging the at least one target commodity at the packaging position.

And a packing position indicator on one side of the packing workstation of the integrated workstation designates the position of the order temporary storage goods shelf goods grid after the sorting is finished so that a packer can carry out operations related to packing, such as goods taking, goods delivery printing, packing, weighing, label printing and the like on the packing workstation of the integrated workstation. If the auxiliary packed execution object is logged/taken into use, it may also perform the operation. For example, the pack execution object may press a pick complete button on the order buffer shelf or the system may automatically send a pick complete message to notify the system to release the shelf for future picking. When the conventional packing staff can not process the packing task in time, the auxiliary packing staff can dynamically join the auxiliary packing station of the integrated workstation needing to be supported at any time for packing.

The packing station of the integrated workstation (a plurality of packing stations can be integrated with one picking station) receives or generates a packing instruction comprising information such as order temporary storage shelf lattice position identification and printing labels, so that a packer completes the packing operation at the packing station of the integrated workstation. Wherein the packaging instructions may be in any communication suitable for use in a warehousing inventory system.

In the embodiment, the sorted goods are put into the shared 'back-to-back' order temporary storage rack with the assistance of the position indicator, then the goods can be directly taken out from the shared order temporary storage rack by a packer at the other side of the order temporary storage rack, the two separation links of traditional sorting and packing are effectively integrated together through the 'two and one' functions of sorting and packing, meanwhile, a multi-product rechecking link and a transportation link from sorting to packing are not needed, the carrying of the goods to be packed is avoided, the human intervention time in the sorting and packing links is reduced, and the overall order fulfillment speed is accelerated. In addition, under the condition that the packing speed cannot be matched with the picking speed, when a conventional packer cannot process the packing task in time, the auxiliary packer can be added into an auxiliary packing station of the integrated workstation needing to be supported at any time for packing, and the picking and packing work in parallel, so that the order which is picked can be packed in time.

More specifically, a packaging instruction containing order temporary storage goods shelf identification information is sent to a packaging workstation of the integrated workstation, so that the packaging execution object can fetch goods from the order temporary storage goods shelf according to the packaging instruction, and the fetched goods are packaged at the packaging workstation of the integrated workstation. Under the condition that the packing speed cannot be matched with the picking speed, when a conventional packer cannot timely process a packing task, the auxiliary packer can dynamically add to an auxiliary packing station of an integrated workstation needing to be supported at any time for packing, and the picking and packing work in parallel, so that the order which is picked can be timely packed.

In one embodiment, the sorted goods are put into the shared 'back-to-back' order temporary storage rack from one side of the sorting workstation of the integrated workstation, and a packer on the side of the packing workstation opposite to the order temporary storage rack directly takes the goods out of the shared order temporary storage rack, so that the carrying of the goods to be packed is avoided, and the human intervention time in the sorting and packing links is reduced. The picking-packaging integration method accelerates the overall fulfillment speed of the order.

In one embodiment, further comprising: and when the number of the grids of the temporary storage shelf is larger than or equal to the number of the orders, packaging the target commodities in the orders. Wherein the number of orders in an order request to an integrated workstation must be less than or equal to the number of scratch pad shelf offerings of the correct type available. An integrated workstation without an available temporary storage rack compartment is not available. The order temporary storage shelf is used for temporarily storing commodities to be packaged and taking orders as units.

The method and the device avoid the carrying of the goods to be packaged and reduce the human intervention time in the picking and packaging links. In addition, under the condition that the packing speed cannot be matched with the picking speed, an auxiliary packing member can be dynamically added into an auxiliary packing station of the integrated workstation needing to be supported at any time for packing, and the picking and packing work is carried out in parallel, so that the picked orders can be packed in time. Therefore, the method and the system reduce the labor cost and realize more optimized comprehensive cost and efficiency of order fulfillment.
