Description

Material packaging processing method and device and storage medium
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of logistics in general, and more particularly relates to a material packaging processing method, a material packaging processing device and a storage medium.
Background
Maintenance, repair and operation (MRO) generally means that a product is not directly formed in an actual production process, and is only used for maintaining, repairing and operating materials and services of equipment. MRO industry products have diversity and complexity, and the packaging consumables are numerous in type and different for different types of products. The characteristics considered when the product is packaged comprise overweight articles, fragile articles, liquid articles, special-shaped articles and refrigerated articles, the packaging box types required to be selected are different, and the packaging can be made by selecting paper boxes, bubble bags, support-making modes and the like. The shape of the product can influence the packaging mode, chemicals need to be marked with codes and labeled, the lamp tube needs to be packaged after being sleeved with a pearl cotton bag, and part of the product cannot be placed upside down. The types of suppliers are various, the customer requirements are various, and the order with customized requirements also needs additional packaging requirements, for example, the customer requires that different products need to be packaged separately, electrical products need to be packaged by special packaging boxes, and chemicals need to be accompanied by chemical Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Data. Due to the characteristics of products in the MRO industry, the packaging mode and the specification requirements are excessive easily during packaging.
The current packaging mainly depends on a packager to manually read the packaging specification and then confirm the packaging mode through manual judgment. Under the current situation of the packaging process, the requirements on the experience of a packager are extremely high, and the whole process is heavily dependent on the personal experience and subjective judgment of the packager.
The existing MRO transport packaging industry has difficulties in the aspects of customer delivery experience, efficiency, cost and the like.
In the aspect of customer experience, the packing link is holistic box data and packing stress isoparametric under current manual judgement packing mode, and the vanning rate is too high easily to appear, leads to the damage of carton or product in the transportation, influences customer experience.
In the aspect of packaging operation efficiency, the existing packaging in the MRO industry is restricted by manual experience and operation specifications, a packager selects a box shape by a manual visual method, and the overall packaging operation efficiency is low due to the requirements of pre-packaging and special orders of products. When the problem that the carton can not be boxed occurs, the carton needs to be reselected for packaging, and the reworking operation is caused.
In the aspect of cost, as the types of products are multiple, the types of packaging consumables are multiple, the overall operation cost is high, and the MRO industry has the packaging particularity, the existing boxing method aiming at common logistics can cause large errors and cannot be directly used. The packer selects the box type through manual visual inspection possibly to cause inaccurate box type selection, and when the situation that the small pieces are packed in the large box occurs, the full box rate is lower, and the cost is increased. When the box type is not large enough, the box type needs to be reselected and boxed, which causes the time cost to be increased.

Detailed Description
The principles and spirit of the present invention will be described with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It is understood that these embodiments are given solely for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and to practice the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
In one aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a material package handling method. Referring to fig. 1, a flow diagram of a material packaging processing method 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in FIG. 1, the method 100 includes steps S101-S111.
In step S101, an order identifier is acquired.
As an embodiment of the present invention, step S101 may include: obtaining an order identification code, the order identification code obtained by manual input on a human machine interface or by scanning an order tracking number (or pick tracking number) on a container associated with the order; for example, after the order tracking number is obtained by scanning, the staff enters a checking instruction (for example, enter) on the man-machine interface, and the system performs order identification code validity check on the order identification code, wherein the order identification code validity check includes checking that the order corresponding to the order identification code exists in the shipping order and the state of the order is a picking completion state; when the validity of the order identification code is successfully verified, taking the order identification code as an acquired order identifier; when the order identification code validation fails, displaying information for prompting that the order identification code is invalid on the man-machine interface, such as displaying an error report message, prompting to 'please input a valid order number', and the like.
In step S102, order basic information and material identifiers of a plurality of materials included in the order are obtained from an order database according to the order identifier, wherein the order basic information includes one or more of material description information, customer information, and logistics information. The materials included in an order may also be referred to as Stock Keeping Units (SKUs). The material description information may include product name, quantity, product characteristics, units, batches, etc. of the material.
In step S103, material information is obtained from the material database according to the material identifier, wherein the material information includes material weight, material size, and material attribute. The representation of the material information field refers to table 1 below. The SKU entries in Table 1 may be considered to be the item identifiers.
TABLE 1 materials information
Figure BDA0003697594860000081
In step S104, package specification information associated with each of the plurality of items is retrieved from the package specification database based on the item identifier.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the package specification information may include one or more of package reinforcement information, special marking information, filler information, prepackaged material information, prepackaging means information.
The package specification information is stored, for example, in the form of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) field. Table 2 shows an example of SOP standard field information.
Table 2 sop standard field
Figure BDA0003697594860000082
In step S105, a weight to be packaged and a size to be packaged of each of the plurality of materials are determined based on one or more of the weight of the material, the size of the material, the material properties, the logistics information, and the packaging specification information.
For example, for materials having particular attributes, the package specification information may specify information that requires the material to be prepackaged prior to packaging, such as filling with filler, etc. The filler and the pre-packaging mode can change the original weight and the original size of the material after pre-packaging, so that the weight and the size of the material to be packaged are obtained. How much the weight and size of the material to be packaged is increased based on the original weight and size of the material will depend on one or more of the weight of the material, the size of the material, the properties of the material, the logistics information and the packaging specification information, as the case may be.
In step S106, a packaging order of the plurality of materials is determined according to the weight to be packaged, the size to be packaged, and the material properties of each of the plurality of materials.
As an embodiment of the present invention, determining a packing order of the plurality of materials according to the weight to be packed, the size to be packed, and the material properties of each of the plurality of materials includes one or more of: determining a boxing sequence (heavy without pressing light) according to the sequence from heavy to light of the weight to be packaged; determining a boxing sequence (large and small) according to the sequence of the sizes to be packaged from large to small; and (4) sequentially postpositing the materials with the material property of weak compressive capacity. Weak crush resistance properties such as brittle properties.
In step S107, an adapted box type is determined based on one or more of the weight to be packaged, the size to be packaged, and the packaging specification information of each of the plurality of materials, a predefined full-box-rate criterion, and pre-stored box type base data. Where full is the percentage of product volume in the outer package volume, this data is primarily indicative of package utilization. When the packaging is carried out, the full box rate is too low, the packaging material is wasted, and the product is easy to transport and damage due to too high packaging material. The full-tank rate standard can be the same for each different material, and can also be different, namely, different full-tank rate standards are respectively set for specific materials. As an example, the full-bin-rate criterion may have only a full-bin-rate upper threshold. As another example, the full-bin-rate criterion may have both an upper threshold and a lower threshold. The full bin rate criterion can be calculated by statistical analysis of historical bin data.
As an example, according to the total volume of the material, a box type can be screened which meets (lower limit of total volume of material/full box rate) > volume of the box type v > (upper limit of total volume of material/full box rate).
The box-based data may be found in table 3, including one or more of the number of box layers, the size of the box, the weight of the box, the side crush strength of the box, the number of box-stacked layers, and the burst strength of the box.

Figure BDA0003697594860000091
Wherein the number of layers may include three layers, five layers, etc. Taking a three-ply box as an example, the first ply is face paper, the second ply is corrugated, and the third ply is liner paper. Taking a five-layer box as an example, the first layer is surface paper, the second layer and the fourth layer are corrugated, the third layer is core paper, and the fifth layer is lining paper. Generally, the greater the number of layers, the greater the load bearing and stacking layers. Load bearing refers to the maximum weight that the carton can bear. The crush strength indicates the maximum crush (relative to the carton material) that each carton can accept, and beyond this strength, the carton can be damaged. The stacking refers to the maximum stacking layers which are contacted with the largest bottom area, the carton is fully loaded to the largest bearing capacity and is sequentially stacked upwards, and the carton can be stacked statically theoretically without deformation. Burst strength refers to the maximum acceptable crush strength per square meter (as opposed to a three-sided design) beyond which the carton can break.
By way of example, when box type selection is carried out, adaptive SKU size data can be screened once by reading the size data, and then the total weight of the put-in SKU is ensured not to exceed the weight of the carton box through the load-bearing data, and the burst strength and the side pressure strength do not exceed the weight of the carton box. The number of stacked layers is used to limit the maximum stacked layers for the simulation.
In step S108, the placing modes of the plurality of materials in the adaptation box type are calculated according to the packing sequence and the adaptation box type. For example, the placing method may be based on the idea of layering and stacking, for example, using the algorithm disclosed in "heuristic layered search algorithm for solving three-dimensional bin packing problem". The calculation and placement method may be any packing calculation method that is currently available or will be developed in the future, and the present invention is not limited in this respect.
In step S109, a feasibility determination is performed on the placement manner, where the feasibility determination includes determining whether all of the plurality of materials can be loaded into the adapter box according to the placement manner. In other words, the feasibility determination is to determine whether the packing order and the placing manner have solutions, which means that the packing order and the placing manner have feasibility if the solutions exist, and the packing order and the placing manner do not have feasibility if the solutions do not exist.
Optionally, the feasibility determination may further include rechecking whether the full-box rate meets the criterion. And after boxing, calculating the total utilization rate, and judging whether the total utilization rate is in a feasible interval of the full box rate standard and whether the bearing is in the bearing range of the box.
In step S110, if the placement mode is not feasible, the adaptation box is newly determined based on the feasibility determination result. As one example, a box type that meets the full box rate criteria and is one size larger than the current box type may be selected. As another example, the box type may be re-determined based on the bin packing condition in the feasibility determination, such as the number, size, weight, etc. of the last non-bin-packed material.
After the step S110, the step S108 of calculating the placing style and the step S109 of performing the feasibility determination are performed again according to the newly determined fitting box type until the placing style is determined to be feasible.
In step S111, in the case where the placement mode is feasible, order base information, packing specification information, adaptation box type, and placement mode are displayed via the human machine interface. The human-machine interface may be, for example, a System bulletin board of a Warehouse Management System (WMS), and more specifically, a display of a computer operated by a packing worker. Thus, the packing staff can see the order information, the optimal box type automatically calculated by the system and the specific packing specification information on the screen. The packaging operation does not depend on personal experience and manual judgment of workers any more, and the working efficiency is improved.
As one embodiment of the present invention, displaying a placement mode via a human-machine interface includes: the presentation is shown in the form of a three-dimensional perspective view, in which different materials are represented by different colors. The placing mode is displayed in a three-dimensional stereo diagram mode more visually and clearly, and a packer can conveniently and quickly know the correct placing mode, so that the boxing operation time is shortened while the boxing accuracy is improved.
Embodiments of the present invention combine the MRO industry customer experience full-bin rate indicator from the target results. If only the optimal cost is emphasized, the actual full box rate is too low, which causes the cost to be increased, and the full box rate is too high, which causes the damage of the transportation process and influences the customer experience. The implementation mode of the invention sets the requirement of the full package rate, can avoid the problem of large package and small package in the prior art, and reduces the resource cost in the packaging process; meanwhile, the problem that the transportation process is damaged due to the fact that the full box rate is too high is avoided, and user experience is improved.
The original MRO packaging process needs manual judgment according to the packaging SOP. The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention transfers the packaging algorithm to the line, realizes that the packaging specification directly calls the packaging database, outputs the packaging requirement information on the line in a visual mode, and is used for staff to directly refer to the packaging specification. Meanwhile, the visual packaging scheme realizes intelligent packaging decision, and judges the packaging box type meeting the conditions by calling an intelligent packaging algorithm, so that the packaging processing efficiency and accuracy are improved.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a standard packaging database is designed by reading product attributes and customized data. The existing MRO industry has too many packaging types, and the operation specifications of different employees cannot be unified, so that the implementation mode of the invention creates a packaging database by reading the product characteristics (fragile products, special-shaped pieces, liquid products, chemicals and the like) of the MRO industry and combining the customized requirements of customers.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the adaptation box type may include: calculating the total weight to be packaged and the total volume to be packaged of the plurality of materials according to the weight to be packaged and the size to be packaged of each material in the plurality of materials; selecting a minimum box type meeting the full box rate standard according to the total weight to be packaged and the total volume to be packaged; taking a material with the largest volume to be packaged from a plurality of materials, and judging whether the material with the largest volume to be packaged can be loaded into a minimum box type meeting a full box rate standard; if the box can be loaded, determining the minimum box type meeting the full box rate standard as an adaptive box type; and if the materials cannot be filled, sequentially selecting box types which meet the full box rate standard and are sequentially increased in size compared with the minimum box type until the materials with the largest volume to be packaged are judged to be filled into the currently selected box type, and taking the currently selected box type as an adaptive box type. By the method, the minimum box type meeting the requirement can be matched, and the box type cost is reduced.
As an embodiment of the present invention, determining an adapted box type according to one or more of a weight to be packaged, a size to be packaged, and packaging specification information of each of a plurality of materials, a predefined full box rate criterion, and pre-stored box type base data includes: determining an optional box type category of each material in the plurality of materials according to the packaging specification information; a box category in an intersection of selectable box categories for each of a plurality of materials is taken as a box category of an adaptation box.
As an embodiment of the present invention, as an example, for a product having material properties such as fragility, refrigerated liquid, etc., the step of determining the weight to be packaged and the size to be packaged may include: acquiring filler information and/or pre-packaging mode information from the packaging specification information based on the material attribute of each material in the plurality of materials; determining a weight packing coefficient and a size packing coefficient according to the filler information and/or the pre-packing mode information; calculating the weight to be packaged according to the weight of the material and the weight packaging coefficient; and calculating the size to be packaged according to the material size and the size packaging coefficient.
For fragile products such as glass, lamp tubes and the like, bulk liquid and the like, the fragile products need to be pre-packaged when being packaged, meanwhile, the fragile products cannot be placed on a bottom layer when being packaged, and the volume needs to be increased by a packaging coefficient under the original size parameter. The system can mark the fragility of the product, so that whether the product is fragile and whether the product is bulk liquid can be judged through the existing system data in the model, the product is further boxed after packaging coefficients are added in size and volume, sequential judgment is carried out in the boxing sequence, and the boxing sequence of the fragile product is followed.
For materials with refrigeration, i.e. materials involving cold chain transportation, an ice bag is required for packaging, which takes up additional volume. The more the amount of material, the more ice bags are used. For such materials, the need of ice bags and the number of the ice bags can be determined by reading the product performance, so that the model algorithm needs to consider whether the order material needs a cold chain packaging technology. In the display link, the attribute marking processing of the material system can be displayed.
For liquid products such as lubricating grease, cleaning fluid and the like, sealing winding is needed during packaging, and packaging is needed to be similar to fragile products during packaging design, and the packaging coefficient is added for design.
Because MRO products are distributed in production lines of various categories, the difference of customer groups is large, and the quantity and the category of materials of a single order are greatly different; the products themselves have irregularities, such as stripes, arches, etc., and existing databases cannot read the irregularities of certain products. As an example, for irregularly shaped materials, the step of determining the weight and size to be packaged may comprise the steps of: acquiring irregular-size packaging coefficients from pre-stored packaging specification information based on material attributes; and calculating the size to be packaged according to the material size and the irregular size packaging coefficient, wherein for example, the product constraint can be defined as a cuboid with determined length, width and height, and each plane is parallel to the plane of the box body.
As another embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the weight and size to be packaged may include: acquiring filler information and/or pre-packaging mode information from the packaging specification information based on the material attribute of each material in the plurality of materials; determining a weight packing coefficient and a size packing coefficient according to the filler information and/or the pre-packing mode information and the transportation distance information in the logistics information; calculating the weight to be packaged according to the weight of the materials and the weight packaging coefficient; and calculating the size to be packaged according to the material size and the size packaging coefficient.
It is noted that as an example, the weight to be packaged may be obtained by multiplying the weight of the material by a weight packaging factor. As another example, the packaging specification information may store a weight of a filler corresponding to each material, so that the weight to be packaged may be obtained by adding the weight of the material and the weight of the filler, for example, for a material for a refrigerated product, the packaging specification information stores a weight of an ice bag to be filled when each unit of the material is prepackaged, and then the weight to be packaged = (weight of the material unit + weight of the ice bag filled with a single material) = the amount of the material.
The transport distance affects the packaging reinforcement mode, the transport of refrigerated goods, etc. The different transport distances have different requirements on the package, and include but are not limited to package reinforcement, refrigerated product transportation and the like. For example, a single bin can be used as a geographic center, and the province where the client is located is divided into transportation time efficiency intervals. Marking different packaging modes according to the customer address of the order.
As still another embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the weight and size to be packaged may include: when the material attribute comprises foldability, calculating the size to be packaged according to the material size and the folded packaging coefficient associated with the material in the packaging specification information.
Some products have the particularity, for example, the rope has the winding property, and the length, the width and the height are not the actual packing size; the potted plant products have concave platform spaces, can be stacked, and the space occupation does not belong to a simple stacking relation; the belt can be wound but will have different flexibility and different foldability. The existing database cannot read the folding particularity of the products, so that the problem of simple overlapping of spaces in which the products are regarded as non-foldable in the model is solved. The folding property is related to the hardness and the folding times of the product, for example, a rope can be folded into a small ball, a soft belt can be folded for a plurality of turns and then wound, but a slightly hard belt can not be wound. Depending on the nature of the foldability, this can be achieved by folding the packing factor. Namely, the volume after packaging is recorded during the first packaging, the packaging coefficient data is recorded, and the data is used continuously as the bottom table of the packaging database.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include a process of reviewing the material basic information, for example, the following steps may be included: displaying a message for prompting to recheck basic information of the material through a human-computer interface, wherein the basic information of the material comprises one or more of material description information, material weight and material size; and receiving a confirmation instruction of the material basic information by the user through the human-computer interface, or receiving updated or supplemented material basic information input by the user through the human-computer interface.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include a process of validity checking the adaptation box type of the selected place, for example, the following steps may be included: after calculating a box type matched with the material, carrying out box type validity check on the matched box type, wherein the box type validity check comprises the step of confirming whether the matched box type exists in a system box type list or not; when the box type validity check is successful, displaying the adapted box type; and when the box type validity check fails, displaying a message for prompting the box type invalidity through the human-computer interface. For example, an "invalid box" is displayed on the display. Here, the system box list may be, for example, a list of boxes stored in a site where a maintenance packing worker is present.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include a process of displaying and rechecking the weight after packaging, for example, may include the steps of: obtaining a packaged weight by a weighing device (e.g., an electronic scale); displaying the packaged weight and a message for prompting to recheck the packaged weight through a human-computer interface; and receiving a manually entered confirmation instruction of the post-package weight (e.g., a knock-in enter determination) via the human-machine interface, or receiving a manually entered reviewed post-package weight via the human-machine interface.
Optionally, a recheck may be performed after the completion of the packing by the worker, for example, when the worker clicks a "packing completion" button on the display, the validity of the material identifier, the description information, and the selected box (model, length, width, etc.) in the packing details is checked, and if the information is missing, a "please select the packing details" is displayed to prompt the worker to supplement or modify the relevant information.
Optionally, the staff may review any information displayed on the human-machine interface, including information brought by the order identifier, the material identifier, or information obtained by system calculation, to perform operation data acquisition and verification and operation data field acquisition.

The master data weight and the master data volume may be specific values. As shown in fig. 2, the database field may be divided into numerical intervals for the main data weight and the main data volume, and the numerical intervals are convenient for selecting a suitable packing manner for the material, for example, when the weight of the material is in a specific interval, the material is packed in a carton, and when the weight of the material is in another specific interval, the material is packed in a holding-up manner. The SKU fields correspond to material attributes such as friable, deformable, high-volume, chemical, and the like. The box option corresponds to box-type base data, which may include, for example, a carton, a paper cartridge, a bubble bag, a wooden box, etc. The filling may include bubble bags, pearl wool, waste paper boxes, etc. The pre-packing mode may include information on what kind of filler is used and the pre-packing mode.
