Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims, as well as in the drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are, for example, capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements explicitly listed, but may include other steps or elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail with specific examples. Several of the following embodiments may be combined with each other and some details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

The embodiment of the application provides a method for realizing warehouse order picking, which is characterized in that when order positioning fails, the order is processed in a splitting mode, and the successfully positioned part can be split from the original order to form a new sub-order. Therefore, when the original order positioning fails, the split sub-orders belong to parts successfully positioned, so that the picking-up link can be continuously carried out without waiting for a long time, and the working efficiency of the warehouse order implementation method is effectively improved.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a system for picking warehouse orders according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the system includes at least a control center 101 and a system database 100. In practice, the system database 100 may be divided into an order database 102, an inventory database 103, and a task database 104. The control center 101 is responsible for controlling the implementation process of the warehousing orders, the order database 102 is used for storing orders, the inventory database 103 is used for storing commodity inventory information including storage location information, and the task database 104 is used for storing generated picking tasks.

Fig. 2A is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for picking a warehouse order by the control center 101 according to the present application. As shown in fig. 2A, the method includes:

step 201: a pending order is obtained from the system database 100, where the pending order includes an order number, a product stock identification code, and a first product quantity.

When a user purchases a commodity through the online shopping platform, the system sends and saves the generated order to the order database 102. The order number is information for distinguishing different orders; the product Stock identification code is information for distinguishing different products, such as SKU (Stock Keeping Unit); the first product quantity is information on the quantity of the product indicated by the product stock identification code. For the sake of distinction from other product quantities in the following description, the product quantity in the original pending order is referred to as "first product quantity", but the basic meaning is not essentially different, and all represent the quantity information of the product required in the order.

Step 202: and initiating a positioning request to the system database 100 according to the commodity inventory identification code to obtain an order positioning result, wherein the positioning is a processing process for determining a corresponding storage position of a commodity required in the order to be processed in the storage.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, a large number of items are typically maintained in a storage area. In order to make the picking staff accurately pick the order according to the order requirement, each commodity stored in the picking area is accurately recorded with the storage position information in the inventory database 103. Therefore, before the system issues a picking task instruction to the picking staff, the order needs to be located through the inventory database 103 so as to accurately obtain the storage position information of the goods.

In practical applications, the orders need to be processed more, and the number of goods in the picking area is limited, so that the orders may not be satisfied. Such as: a certain order A needs 300 bottles of soy sauce, 200 bottles of vinegar and 100 bags of rice, but 200 bottles of soy sauce, 100 bottles of vinegar and 100 bags of rice which meet the requirements exist in the picking area. In this case, since the number of commodities of soy sauce and vinegar in the pick-up area does not satisfy the demand, and then accurate storage location information cannot be determined, the positioning result of order a is failed. Of course, if the quantity of the goods in the picking area meets the requirement of the order A, the accurate storage position information can be determined, and the positioning result of the order A is successful.

Step 203: when the positioning result of the to-be-processed order is failed, processing the positioning result of the to-be-processed order by adopting a splitting mode, respectively generating picking tasks aiming at the first-level sub-orders obtained after splitting, and storing the picking tasks into the system database 100, wherein the splitting mode is to split the successfully-positioned part from the to-be-processed order to form more than one first-level sub-orders; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

If the order positioning fails, the storage condition of the commodities in the picking area cannot meet the requirement of the order to be processed, and urgent replenishment is needed. When the goods are filled in emergently, the system in the embodiment of the application can continuously process the split first-level sub-orders which are successfully positioned, the processing is started without waiting for the completion of the goods filling for a long time, and the working efficiency can be improved. In practical application, if the to-be-processed order is successfully located, the order does not need to be split again, and a picking task is directly generated.

Step 204: and acquiring the picking task in the system database 100, generating a picking task instruction and sending the picking task instruction.

The control center 101 will save the generated picking task in the task database 104. The picking task not only comprises a commodity stock identification code, but also comprises corresponding storage position information. After the control center 101 sends the order of the picking task to the picking staff, the picking staff can reach the corresponding storage location of the picking area according to the order of the picking task to pick a corresponding number of goods.

Step 205: and realizing the picking task according to the picking task instruction so as to complete the realization of picking the storage order.

In practical application, after completing the picking task, the staff may further perform a distribution task according to the to-be-processed order. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that after the picking is completed, the control center 101 can generate a distribution task according to the order to be processed, and the distributor distributes the goods to the grid of the distribution wall according to the prompt of the system, and the specific distribution mode can be implemented by using the prior art. Of course, after the sub-broadcasting task is completed, the worker may further perform a packaging link on the sub-broadcasted commodities, which is not described herein again.

By applying the scheme of the embodiment of the application, for the condition that the order with large commodity quantity fails to be positioned, the embodiment adopts the mode of splitting the order, the order with the successfully positioned part obtained by splitting is continuously processed, and long-time waiting for replenishment is not needed, so that the working efficiency of realizing the warehousing order is integrally improved.

The embodiment of the application also provides another method for realizing warehouse order picking, and different production modes can be intelligently adopted for different orders. For orders with a small number of commodities, the orders are processed in a non-splitting mode, and for orders with a large number of commodities, the orders are processed in a splitting mode when the order positioning fails, and the positioning part can be successfully split from the original orders to form new orders. Therefore, when the original order positioning fails, the split order belongs to a part which is successfully positioned, so that the method can be continuously realized without waiting for a long time, and the working efficiency of the warehouse order realization method is effectively improved.

In addition, in the order generated by the online shopping platform, some goods are fewer in quantity, for example, the order generated by a common individual user is generally called a 2C order; some commodities have a large amount of commercial products, such as orders generated by large customers, which are generally called 2B orders. For these two different types of orders, the embodiment of the present application performs the following steps 204 'and 205', respectively. In practical application, a threshold value of the quantity of goods may be set, and the order belonging to which type is distinguished by the threshold value of the quantity of goods. If the first commodity quantity in the order is smaller than or equal to the preset commodity quantity threshold value, the order can be considered as a 2C order; if the first quantity of items in the order is greater than the preset item quantity threshold, the order may be considered a 2B order.

The system of the second embodiment of the present application may still refer to the system structure diagram described in fig. 1. Fig. 2B is a flowchart of a second implementation method of the control center 101 for picking warehouse orders according to the present application. As shown in fig. 2B, the method includes:

step 201': a pending order is obtained from the system database 100, where the pending order includes an order number, a product stock identification code, and a first product quantity.

This step is the same as step 201 of the first embodiment.

Step 202': and initiating a positioning request to the system database 100 according to the commodity inventory identification code to obtain an order positioning result, wherein the positioning is a processing process for determining a corresponding storage position of a commodity required in the order to be processed in the storage.

This step is the same as step 202 of the first embodiment.

Step 203': judging whether the first commodity quantity in the order to be processed is larger than a preset commodity quantity threshold value or not; if yes, go to step 204'; otherwise, step 205' is performed.

Step 204': when the positioning result of the to-be-processed order is failed, processing the positioning result of the to-be-processed order by adopting a splitting mode, respectively generating picking tasks aiming at the first-level sub-orders obtained after splitting, and storing the picking tasks into the system database 100, wherein the splitting mode is to split the successfully-positioned part from the to-be-processed order to form more than one first-level sub-orders; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

This step is the same as step 203 of the first embodiment. For the 2B order, because the number of the required commodities is large, and the probability of the positioning failure is relatively high, the positioning result is processed by adopting a splitting mode in the embodiment. When the goods are supplemented emergently, the system in the embodiment of the application can continuously process the split orders which are successfully positioned, and the processing is started without waiting for the completion of the supplement for a long time, so that the working efficiency can be improved. In practical application, if the to-be-processed order is successfully located, the order does not need to be split again, and a picking task is directly generated.

Step 205': processing the positioning result of the order to be processed by adopting a non-splitting mode, generating a picking task and storing the picking task in a system database 100, wherein the non-splitting mode means that the order to be processed does not need to be split; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

For the 2C order, because the number of the required commodities is small, and the probability of successful positioning is relatively high, the positioning result is processed in a non-splitting manner in the embodiment. Further, even if the positioning fails, the reason for the failure can be quickly solved by the urgent replenishment without waiting for a long time because the number of required goods is small.

Step 206': and acquiring the picking task in the system database 100, generating a picking task instruction and sending the picking task instruction.

This step is the same as step 204 of the first embodiment.

Step 207': and realizing the picking task according to the picking task instruction so as to complete the realization of picking the storage order.

This step is the same as step 205 of the first embodiment.

By applying the scheme of the embodiment of the application, the orders can be flexibly processed in different modes according to the types of the orders by comparing the orders with the preset commodity quantity threshold value so as to meet the requirements of different orders. In addition, for the case of failure in order positioning with a large number of commodities, the embodiment adopts the mode of order splitting, and the order of the successfully positioned part obtained by splitting is continuously processed without waiting for replenishment for a long time, so that the work efficiency of realizing the warehousing order is integrally improved.

In order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present application, other preferred embodiments are described in detail below. Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of a warehouse order picking method. In the present embodiment, it is still assumed that the system includes a control center 101 and a system database 100. The system database 100 may further include an order database 102, an inventory database 103, and a task database 104. The control center 101 is responsible for controlling the implementation process of the warehousing orders, the order database 102 is used for storing orders, the inventory database 103 is used for storing commodity inventory information including storage location information, and the task database 104 is used for storing the generated picking tasks. The following description of the interaction with the order database 102, the inventory database 103, and the task database 104 may also be expressed as actually interacting with the system database 100. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step 301: a pending order is obtained from the order database 102, where the pending order includes an order number, a product stock identification code, and a first product quantity.

This step is the same as step 201' in the second embodiment of the method described above.

Assume that the control center 101 obtains a pending order as shown in table one:

watch 1

The order with the order number of 001 needs M1 products with SKU1 commodity stock identification code, and needs M2 products with SKU2 commodity stock identification code.

Step 302: querying the inventory database 103 according to the commodity inventory identification code, wherein the inventory database 103 records commodity inventory information, and the commodity inventory information includes the commodity inventory identification code, the number of the second commodities and corresponding storage position information.

Step 303: and acquiring the inquired commodity inventory information, and associating the acquired commodity inventory information with the order to be processed as a positioning result.

The

above steps

302 and 303 are a specific way to realize order positioning, i.e. to realize step 202'. As described above, the inventory database 103 in practical applications can accurately record the storage location information of each product in the picking area. Suppose that the product inventory information held by the inventory database 103 is shown in table two:

commodity inventory identification code	Number of second commodity	Information of storage position
			SKU1	N1	C1
SKU2	N2	C2

Watch two

The first row shows that the number of the commodities with the commodity inventory identification codes of SKU1 is N1, and the commodities are placed at the C1 position of the picking area; the second row shows that the inventory identification number of the goods is SKU2 with N2 and placed at the C2 position of the picking area.

By querying the inventory information of the goods in the inventory data 103, the obtained table one and table two can be associated as a positioning result of the order 001 to be processed. In practical applications, the associated bin information may be further saved in the order database 102 again.

Step 304: judging whether the first commodity quantity in the order to be processed is smaller than or equal to a preset commodity quantity threshold value, if so, executing a step 305; otherwise, step 306 is performed.

The preset goods quantity threshold value is used as a threshold value for distinguishing 2C orders or 2B orders, and may be set to 50, for example. If the number of the first commodities in the order to be processed is less than or equal to 50, the order is a 2C order, and the non-splitting mode in the step 305 is adopted for processing; if the number of the first goods in the order to be processed is greater than 50, the order is a 2B order, and the splitting mode of the step 306 is adopted for processing.

Step 305: processing the positioning result of the order to be processed by adopting a non-splitting mode, generating a picking task and storing the picking task in a task database 104, wherein the non-splitting mode means that the order to be processed is not required to be split; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

This step is the same as step 205' in the second embodiment of the method described above.

In another embodiment, the non-splitting method in step 305 can be further implemented by the following steps 306 to 308:

step 306: and judging whether the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity.

This step is to compare the first quantity of items in the pending order with the second quantity of items in the item inventory information. Taking the above table one and table two as examples, for example, M1 corresponding to SKU1 in table one and N1 corresponding to SKU1 in table two are compared, and the following step 307 or step 308 is executed according to the result.

Step 307: if the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity, starting an existing replenishment processing process, updating the inventory database 103 after the replenishment processing process is completed, and returning to execute the step 302.

When the second quantity of the goods is smaller than the first quantity of the goods, the quantity of the goods in the picking area can be considered to not meet the quantity of the goods required by the order, and the order positioning fails. In this case, the embodiment of the present application starts the replenishment processing and updates the inventory database 103. The replenishment processing process described herein refers to a process in which the system notifies replenishment staff to replenish the picking area. When the replenishment worker completes replenishment, the system also needs to update the inventory information of the goods in the inventory database 103. Assuming that the first quantity of items corresponding to the SKU1 in the pending order is 50 and the second quantity of items corresponding to the SKU1 in the inventory database 103 is 10, and the replenishment worker replenishes 100 items of items corresponding to the SKU1 into the pick-up area, the second quantity of items corresponding to the SKU1 in the inventory information is updated to 110 after updating the inventory database 103. At this point, it is necessary to return to step 302 again to start locating the order again until the pending order is successfully located. In the embodiment of the application, for the 2C orders with small commodity quantity, even if the orders fail, the order requirements can be quickly met under emergency replenishment, and the orders to be processed do not need to be split. Of course, as an alternative, the 2C order may also be processed with reference to the splitting mode when the location fails.

Step 308: if the second quantity of the goods is greater than or equal to the first quantity of the goods, a picking task is generated, the picking task includes the goods inventory identification code, the first quantity of the goods and the corresponding storage position information, and is saved to the task database 104.

When the second quantity of the commodities is greater than or equal to the first quantity of the commodities, the quantity of the commodities in the picking area can be considered to meet the quantity of the commodities required by the order, and the order positioning is successful. In this case, the pick up order may be generated directly and saved to the order database 104.

According to the embodiment of the application, the processes of processing the positioning result of the order to be processed and generating the picking task in a non-splitting mode aiming at the 2B order are realized through the steps 306-308.

Step 309: processing the positioning result of the order to be processed by adopting a splitting mode, respectively generating picking tasks for the split order and storing the picking tasks into the task database 104, wherein the splitting mode is to split the successfully positioned part from the order to be processed to form more than one first-level sub-order; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

This step is the same as step 204' in the second embodiment of the method described above.

In another embodiment, step 309 can be implemented using steps 310-314 as follows.

Step 310: and judging whether the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity.

This step is to compare the first quantity of items in the pending order with the second quantity of items in the item inventory information. Taking the above table one and table two as examples, for example, M1 corresponding to SKU1 in table one and N1 corresponding to SKU1 in table two are compared. If the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity, splitting the order by the following steps. In practical applications, of course, if the number of the second items is greater than or equal to the number of the first items, that is, the order is successfully located, the picking task may be generated by the method in step 308 and stored in the task database 104, and the picking task is not required to be split.

Step 311: and if the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity, determining that the positioning result of the to-be-processed order fails.

Step 312: splitting the order to be processed to generate a first-level sub-order and updating the order to be processed, wherein the first-level sub-order comprises the order number, the first-level sub-order number, the commodity stock identification code and the third commodity quantity; the third commodity quantity represents the commodity quantity corresponding to the commodity inventory identification code capable of positioning the successful part in the order to be processed; and updating the first commodity quantity in the updated order to be processed to be a fourth commodity quantity, wherein the fourth commodity quantity represents the commodity quantity corresponding to the commodity inventory identification code of the positioning failure part in the order to be processed, and the sum of the third commodity quantity and the fourth commodity quantity is the first commodity quantity.

This step is a process of splitting the order to be processed when the positioning fails. Taking table one and table two as an example, assume that the first-level sub-order generated by splitting is as shown in table three:

watch III

Although the second quantity of the items in the item inventory information is smaller than the first quantity of the items in the pending order, which results in a failure to locate the pending order, a partial location may still be successfully located. Such as: in the pending order 001, M1 products (M1> N1) requiring SKU1 in the product stock identifier, and M2 products (M2> N2) requiring SKU2 in the product stock identifier are required. The stock identification codes of the commodities are SKU1 and N1, and the stock identification codes of the commodities are SKU1 and N2. Therefore, the locatable success portion is split to generate the first level sub-order described in table three above.

As the first level sub-order is generated, the original pending order is updated to table four:

watch four

From tables three and four, the sum of the third commodity quantity and the fourth commodity quantity is the first commodity quantity. In addition, in order to represent the association relationship between the split first-level sub-order and the original order to be processed, the attribute value of the order number may still be reserved in the first-level sub-order.

Step 313: and starting an existing replenishment processing process for the updated to-be-processed order, updating the inventory database 103 after the replenishment processing process is completed, and returning to the step 302.

This step is implemented in the same way as step 307 described above. For the difference of description, although the number of items in the updated pending order is referred to as "fourth number of items", after returning to the step 302, the updated pending order is the same as the original pending order processing method, wherein the "fourth number of items" is referred to as "first number of items".

Step 314: for the first level sub-order, a pick task is generated and saved to the task database 104.

Since the first level sub-order is the order that successfully locates the section, the picking task can be generated directly. At this time, whether the non-splitting mode or the splitting mode is adopted, the picking task can be generated and stored in the task database 104.

Step 315: and acquiring the picking task in the task database 104, generating a picking task instruction and sending the picking task instruction.

This step is the same as step 206' of the second embodiment described above.

Step 316: and realizing the picking task according to the picking task instruction so as to complete the realization of picking the storage order.

This step is the same as step 207' of the second embodiment described above.

It should be noted that, in either case, the

steps

308 and 314 described above in the embodiments of the present application may be generated and stored in the task database 104 for picking. The control center 101 can generate a picking task instruction according to the picking task, and the picking staff complete picking according to the picking task instruction and then perform sorting processing subsequently. For example, taking the first level sub-order shown in table three as an example, the picking task generated may be shown in table five:

watch five

In the process that the replenishment worker carries out emergency replenishment according to the to-be-processed order (table four) updated due to positioning failure, the control center can simultaneously issue a picking task instruction shown in the table five to the picking worker, so that when the 2B order with larger commodity number fails to be positioned, the order can still work in advance without waiting for replenishment for a long time. In the picking process of the picking personnel, if the replenishment process is completed and the remaining picking tasks are generated, the picking personnel can continue to execute the remaining picking tasks, so that the working efficiency is effectively improved.

In addition, since the replenishment processing procedure is started in step 313, when the replenishment is completed, the system will reposition the updated order to be processed. After the replenishment is completed, the positioning must be successfully performed subsequently, and the updated order to be processed which is successfully positioned is directly processed without being split again, so that the processing of the whole order is completed. That is to say, in the embodiment, when the positioning of the to-be-processed order fails, on one hand, the successful positioning part is split out to form the first-level sub-order, and the order picking can be directly performed without waiting. On the other hand, the parts which fail to be positioned are converted into the parts which are successfully positioned again through emergency replenishment, and picking is also carried out. After the two-part pick is completed, fulfillment of the warehouse order may be completed. Of course, the staff will subsequently perform processing links such as distribution and packaging of the commodities in the order after the picking is completed, and details are not described here.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a fourth implementation method of warehouse order picking according to the present application. In the fourth embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that the storage locations of the commodities in the order in the picking area are relatively dispersed, and in order to further improve the working efficiency, the first-level sub-orders may be further split according to the picking work area.

As shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

step 401: a pending order is obtained from the order database 102, where the pending order includes an order number, a product stock identification code, and a first product quantity.

This step is the same as step 301 in the third embodiment of the method described above.

Step 402: querying the inventory database 103 according to the commodity inventory identification code, wherein the inventory database 103 records commodity inventory information, and the commodity inventory information includes the commodity inventory identification code, the number of the second commodities and corresponding storage position information.

This step is the same as step 302 in the third embodiment of the method described above.

Step 403: and acquiring the inquired commodity inventory information, and associating the acquired commodity inventory information with the order to be processed as a positioning result.

This step is the same as step 303 in the third embodiment of the method described above.

Step 404: judging whether the first commodity quantity in the order to be processed is smaller than or equal to a preset commodity quantity threshold value, if so, executing a step 405; otherwise, step 406 is performed.

Step 405: processing the positioning result of the order to be processed by adopting a non-splitting mode, generating a picking task and storing the picking task in a task database 104, wherein the non-splitting mode means that the order to be processed is not required to be split; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

This step is the same as step 305 in the third embodiment of the method described above.

In practical application, the step 405 can be implemented by the following steps 406 to 408:

step 406: and judging whether the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity.

Step 407: if the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity, starting an existing replenishment processing process, updating the inventory database 103 after the replenishment processing process is completed, and returning to execute the step 402.

Step 408: if the second quantity of the goods is greater than or equal to the first quantity of the goods, a picking task is generated, the picking task includes the goods inventory identification code, the first quantity of the goods and the corresponding storage position information, and is saved to the task database 104.

According to the embodiment of the application, the processes of processing the positioning result of the order to be processed and generating the picking task in a non-splitting mode aiming at the 2B order are realized through the steps 406 to 408.

Step 409: processing the positioning result of the order to be processed by adopting a splitting mode, respectively generating picking tasks for the split order and storing the picking tasks into the task database 104, wherein the splitting mode is to split the successfully positioned part from the order to be processed to form more than one first-level sub-order; the picking task comprises the commodity inventory identification code, the first commodity quantity and the corresponding storage position information.

This step is the same as step 309 in the third embodiment of the method described above.

In practical application, the step 409 of the present application can be implemented by the following steps 410 to 414.

Step 410: and judging whether the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity.

Step 411: and if the second commodity quantity is smaller than the first commodity quantity, determining that the positioning result of the to-be-processed order fails.

Step 412: splitting the order to be processed to generate a first-level sub-order and updating the order to be processed, wherein the first-level sub-order comprises the order number, the first-level sub-order number, the commodity stock identification code and the third commodity quantity; the third commodity quantity represents the commodity quantity corresponding to the commodity inventory identification code capable of positioning the successful part in the order to be processed; and updating the first commodity quantity in the updated order to be processed to be a fourth commodity quantity, wherein the fourth commodity quantity represents the commodity quantity corresponding to the commodity inventory identification code of the positioning failure part in the order to be processed, and the sum of the third commodity quantity and the fourth commodity quantity is the first commodity quantity.

Step 413: and starting an existing replenishment processing process for the updated to-be-processed order, updating the inventory database 103 after the replenishment processing process is completed, and returning to the step 402.

Step 414: for the first level sub-order, a pick task is generated and saved to the task database 104.

In practical application, if the storage positions of the commodities in the order in the picking area are dispersed, the first-level sub-orders can be further split according to the picking work area in order to further improve the work efficiency. Namely: step 414 in the embodiment of the present application may be implemented by using the following steps 415 to 417:

step 415: and judging whether the storage level information associated with the first-level sub-order belongs to the same goods picking work area, wherein the goods picking work area refers to an area for running goods picking work in storage.

Step 416: if the order numbers do not belong to the same picking work area, splitting the first-level sub-order according to the picking work area to which the storage position information belongs to generate more than one second-level sub-order, wherein the second-level sub-order comprises the order number, the first-level sub-order number, the second-level sub-order number, the commodity stock identification code and the quantity of fifth commodities, and the sum of the quantity of the fifth commodities in the more than one second-level sub-order is the quantity of the third commodities.

In practical application, if the storage position information associated with the first-level sub-order belongs to the same picking work area, the picking task can be generated directly according to the first-level sub-order without splitting.

Step 417: picking tasks are generated separately for the one or more second level sub-orders and saved to the task database 104.

The obtained second-level sub-orders can be split again by using the steps 415 to 417, and a picking task is generated and stored in the task database 104. Such as: taking the first level sub-order shown in table three above as an example, assuming that the first level sub-order has the associated storage space information C1 located in the picking area E and the associated storage space information C2 located in the picking area F, it can be split into two different second level sub-orders again. The split second level sub-orders are shown in table six and table seven:

watch six

Table seven wherein the picking tasks generated from table six and table seven are shown in table eight and table nine:

table eight

Watch nine

Step 418: and acquiring the picking task in the task database 104, generating a picking task instruction and sending the picking task instruction.

This step is the same as step 315 in method embodiment three.

Step 419: and realizing the picking task according to the picking task instruction so as to complete the realization of picking the storage order.

This step is the same as step 316 in method embodiment three. In the embodiment of the application, since the storage information C1 is located in the picking area E, the picking task shown in table eight can be sent to the picking staff in the picking area E by an instruction; the bin information C2 is located in the picking area F and can send the picking tasks indicated in table nine to the picking staff in the picking area F via commands. The staff in the goods picking area E and the goods picking area F pick the goods simultaneously so as to further improve the working efficiency.

By applying the scheme of the embodiment of the application, different processing methods can be selected according to different orders, and under the condition that the large order positioning fails, the order to be processed can be further split into a plurality of second-level sub-orders, and in the emergency replenishment process of replenishment workers, the multiple picking workers pick the order in different picking areas simultaneously, so that the working efficiency is further improved.

In addition, since the replenishment processing procedure is started in step 413, when the replenishment is completed, the system relocates the updated order to be processed, and after the relocation succeeds, the system directly processes the updated order to be processed, which is successfully located, without splitting again, thereby completing the processing of the whole order.
