Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which are derived by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application, fall within the scope of protection of the application.
The application provides a commodity picking system and a commodity picking method for orders, which utilize AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) automatic guided vehicles and other walking picking devices to pick commodities contained in one order in a plurality of areas of a warehouse at the same time, collect the commodities which are partially picked into a buffer area, automatically trigger a merging flow after all commodities in the same order are picked, collect the picked commodities into a merging area, generate packages for each order, and finally leave the warehouse.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the operational flow of an order item picking system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, in the scenario where an order is generated by an online transaction, the order processing system may face a large number of orders to be processed, and when the system starts to receive and process a plurality of orders in step S11, the large number of orders may be batched, for example in step S12. May be divided into multiple batches of orders.
For the same batch of orders, the first part of commodities and the second part of commodities in the orders can be subjected to picking operation in different warehouse areas of the warehouse according to different picking strategies.
It is noted that the first portion of goods and the second portion of goods may be categorized according to the type of goods stored in the first area and the second area of the warehouse. The division of the commodities may be different depending on the number of the areas, and only the first partial commodity corresponding to the first area and the second partial commodity corresponding to the second area are described as examples, however, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the areas of the plurality of warehouses may be divided in actual production, and the commodities of the plurality of orders may be correspondingly divided into the plurality of partial commodities.
In fig. 1, taking the example that 20 orders are received in step S11, in step S12, the 20 orders may be split into 2 orders per batch; for a first order of the first 2 orders, which contains merchandise a, b, c, d, e, a second order includes merchandise a, c, d, f, g, h.
The warehouse comprises a plurality of partitions, illustrated in fig. 1 by way of example as a first area a and a second area B. The first area A of the warehouse has items A, B, c, d stored therein, and the second area B has items e, f, g, h stored therein. In step S13, the same batch of orders, such as the first order and the second order described above, may be simultaneously allocated to the first area and the second area for parallel operation.
Different partitions of the warehouse may correspond to different picking patterns according to business needs. For example, the picking pattern set in the first area a is picking by parcel. That is, a walking picking device, such as an AGV automatic guided vehicle, may sort the items contained in each order into corresponding picking containers according to the content of the items. The picking mode set in the second area B is picking according to batches, that is, the walking picking device can pick goods from the second area B into the turnover container according to the content of all goods in the received orders.
For example, items A, B, c, d in the first order are systematically distributed for picking in first zone A based on items deposited in first zone A and second zone B; items a, c, d in the second order are systematically assigned to pick in the first area A; items e in the first order are systematically distributed to be picked in the second area B; items f, g, h in the second order are systematically distributed for picking in the second zone B.
In step S13, when picking is performed in the first area a, a part of the items included in the first order and a part of the items included in the second order may be picked to respective buffers, respectively. That is, there are a plurality of picking containers, which may contain a plurality of packages. That is, a portion of the good abcd in the first order is picked into a picking container, such as a first parcel of the picking container, and a portion of the good acd in the second order is picked into a second parcel of the picking container, such as the picking container.
In contrast, in the second zone B, the remaining items e in the first order and the remaining items f, g, h in the second order are integrally picked to the turnaround container for subsequent sorting.
As shown in fig. 1, in step S14, after the picking of the partial items in the first order and the partial items in the second order is completed in the first area a and the second area B, respectively, a merging buffer may be entered, and a merging flow may be entered.
In step S15, the two packages of picking containers and the goods of the transfer containers are transported to a junction area for a junction operation. In the merging area, commodities can be selected from the turnover container by manual or walking picking devices and respectively picked into two packages in the picking container, so that merging of the commodities in the first order and the second order is realized, and picking of all the commodities in the first order and all the commodities in the second order is completed.
After the confluence of step S15, the package may proceed to the step of packaging of step S16, and the delivery is completed in step S17.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an order item picking system corresponding to the operational flow of FIG. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the picking system may include walking picking devices (not shown) in each area of the walking picking devices, picking containers 103, turnover containers 101, warehouse.

The picking container 103 is used for accommodating the selected goods in the first area A of the warehouse; these items are the first portion of the items in the plurality of orders and may be, for example, a collection of items picked within the first area a.
The turnover container 101 is used for accommodating the selected commodities in the second area B of the warehouse; these items are the second portion of the items in the plurality of orders and may be, for example, collections of items picked within the second zone B.
After picking container 103 has been picked in first zone a, it may be cached in pick cache 205.
The picking container 103 may have a plurality of racking containers, which may be packages, for example. The racking container is for holding items in each order, and in one embodiment, the first travel picking device may be specifically configured to: and aiming at the first part of commodities, picking the commodities in each order to corresponding sub-packaging units in a first area of a warehouse.
After picking in the second area B, the container 101 may be cached in the turnover cache 203.
In an embodiment, the order item picking system may further comprise processing means for monitoring the order processing progress of the first area and the second area and/or adjusting the order of at least one of the first area and the second area.
As shown in connection with the process flow of fig. 1, after the system receives an order and performs the processing for multiple times, the order is batched for operation, and meanwhile, the tasks of the same batch of orders can be allocated to different warehouse areas for parallel operation, for example, the first area a can adopt an automatic picking-while-sorting mode to pick according to packages, and partial commodities of the first order and partial commodities of the second order to be picked in the first area a are transferred to the first packages and the second packages corresponding to the picking container 103. The picking container 103 may be cached in the picking cache 205 after picking is completed in the first area a, or the first and second packages may be cached in the picking cache 205.
The second area B may be, for example, sorted by batches in an automatic sorting-first-then-sorting mode, where the goods in the second area B are first transferred into the turnover container 101, and after the sorting task of the turnover container 101 is completed, the system instructs the operator to transfer the turnover container 101 and the second part of the goods therein to the turnover container (not shown) and transport the turnover container to the turnover buffer 203 for buffering, or directly transport the turnover container 101 to the turnover buffer 203 for buffering.
After the commodities picked in the first area a and the second area B enter the confluence buffer area for temporary storage, and after the commodities in the same batch of orders are subjected to picking tasks in each area, the system dispatches the related picking containers 103 and the related turnover containers 101 (or the turnover containers after transfer) to the same workstation of the confluence area 204 for confluence, guides an operator to transfer the commodities in the turnover containers 101 to different packages of the picking containers 101 correspondingly according to the commodities corresponding to each order through an information prompt device on the workstation, and finally, after the confluence tasks of the packages in the same batch are finished, sends a plurality of packages 105 for completing all the tasks to the line-throwing packaging area 206 for packaging and delivery.
In an embodiment, the above-mentioned transferring from the container 101 to the container may be performed manually or may be performed automatically, for example, an automatic fork-taking mechanism may be installed on the travelling picking device, and the system controls the travelling picking device to automatically transfer the picked container to the container.
In one embodiment, the system may further include a racking device for transferring the items within the tote 101 to different packages of the pick container 101, respectively, for each order, in an automated manner, rather than by manual operation.
From the above, the order commodity picking system provided by the embodiment of the invention provides a novel high-automation operation mode of partitioned parallel picking, and the scheme can comprise a picking container, a turnover container, a subpackaging container, a turnover container, a walking picking device, an information prompting device and the like, and can be operated by an operator in an auxiliary manner, so that quick picking of order commodities is realized. The mode fully utilizes the flexibility of the walking picking device, and is applied to the whole production process including carrying, picking, converging and throwing line packing of packages, so that the error rate of production is reduced, and the labor efficiency is improved.
Meanwhile, the goods which are picked in a plurality of areas of the warehouse can be temporarily stored on the turnover container and the picking container respectively, so that the plurality of areas in the warehouse can be allowed to pick the goods in one order at the same time, the ex-warehouse time of the order is shortened, and the speed of the warehouse picking operation is improved.
In addition, in an alternative embodiment, the system can monitor the operation progress of each zone in real time, and automatically adjust the operation content of each zone according to the operation progress, so that the operations of each zone are mutually coordinated, and the situation that the picking operation cannot be performed due to the fact that orders of each zone are backlogged in a cache zone to wait for each other or even the cache zone is occupied in the traditional manual zone parallel picking scheme is avoided.
