Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing example embodiment of the present invention is explained, to help understanding, they should be thought it only is exemplary comprising the various details of the embodiment of the invention.Therefore, those of ordinary skills will be appreciated that, can make various changes and modification to the embodiments described herein, and can not deviate from scope and spirit of the present invention.Equally, for clarity and conciseness, omitted the description to known function and structure in the following description.
In embodiments of the present invention, for each container in a plurality of containers that obtain after the subregion picking, judge whether picking task corresponding to this container has distributed the interflow storage space, if, the interflow of having distributed storage space then is provided, otherwise the interflow storage space of a sky is provided.Specifically with reference to figure 2, Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram that comprises a kind of warehousing and storage activities flow process of collaborating link according to the embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 2, at first carry out the subregion picking, wherein comprise and form picking task (step S21) and in each district goods chosen picking link in the container, for example shown in Figure 2 in A district picking (step S221), in B district picking (step S222), at the picking of C district (step S223); After picking is finished (step S23) distinguished at container handling to interflow.Next obtain container number (step S24) and for example scan bar code on the container with the container that obtains this container number, judge then whether picking task corresponding to this container has distributed interflow storage space (step S25).
Specifically can be to find out the container number corresponding picking task of obtaining in the record according to container number and container number and the corresponding relation of picking task among the step S25, judge whether this picking task has distributed the interflow storage space.This corresponding relation sets in advance and goes on record.If step S25 judged result "Yes" then provides the interflow storage space (step S261) of picking task corresponding to this container having been distributed, if "No" then provides the interflow storage space (step S262) of a sky.
Next will be acquired the container handling of container number among the step S24 to the interflow storage space (step S27) that provides.If also have container not to be carried to the interflow storage space, then scan next container number, namely return step S24.In step S24, choose at random a container and obtain its container and number get final product, until the container of all containers number all is acquired.
Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram according to the basic structure of the converging device in the warehousing and storage activities of the embodiment of the invention.This converging device can be arranged in the WMS in warehouse.As shown in Figure 3, the converging device 30 in the warehousing and storage activities of the embodiment of the invention mainly comprises judge module 31 and module 32 is provided.
Each container that judge module 31 is used for for a plurality of containers that obtain after the subregion picking judges whether picking task corresponding to this container has distributed the interflow storage space; The judged result that provides module 32 to be used at judge module 31 is in the situation that is, the interflow of having distributed storage space is provided, otherwise the interflow storage space of a sky is provided.
Judge module 31 can also be used for: choose at random a container of a plurality of containers that obtain after the subregion picking, for the container of choosing, judge whether picking task corresponding to this container has distributed the interflow storage space.
Judge module 31 also can be used for: the container number that obtains container, find out the container number corresponding picking task of obtaining in the record according to this container number and default container number and the corresponding relation of picking task, judge whether this picking task has distributed the interflow storage space.Judge module 31 also can be used for receiving the container number of this container that the bar code on the described container of scanning obtains in addition.
The judged result that provides module 32 also to be used in judge module 31 is in the situation that is, output is stored up item to the interflow of the interflow storage space that the picking task has been distributed, otherwise exports the interflow storage item of the interflow storage space of a sky.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, judge whether to have distributed the interflow storage space and provide corresponding interflow storage space according to judged result for the container that obtains after the subregion picking, need not to use electronic tag, help to save the storage production cost.
