All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present specification without any inventive step are within the scope of the present application.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a process of warehousing goods provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may specifically include the following steps:

s100: and acquiring information of each article to be stored and information of each idle storage position in the warehouse.

The information of the articles to be stored may include:

the goods to be stored are, for example: stock Keeping Unit (SKU) information, item-related requirements for the Stock location for the item of goods;

storage-related physical properties of the articles to be stored, such as size, density, weight, and the like;

storage term-related attributes to be stored, such as production date, shelf life, production lot number, and the like;

the requirements of the placing mode of the articles to be stored, such as the allowable degree of stacking placement, the allowable degree of placing angle, the storage position required by the articles to be stored, a certain space which is reserved around the articles to be stored besides the size requirement of the articles to be stored is met, and the like;

the properties of the articles to be stored in relation to the logistics, such as inventory turnover, inventory plan, etc.;

the storage space compatibility-related properties of the article to be stored, for example, the degree of intermixing of the article to be stored with respect to other articles, which may be either other articles to be stored or already stored. Wherein the degree of mixing can be used to characterize at least one of: the article to be stored and some goods must not be stored in the same or adjacent storage positions, the article to be stored and some goods must be stored in the same or adjacent storage positions, the storage positions can be shared between the article to be stored and some goods, the respective storage positions of the article to be stored and some goods should satisfy a certain relative position relationship (for example, liquid goods can be placed below the apparel goods, but liquid goods cannot be placed above the apparel goods), etc.;

the warehousing status attributes (e.g., quantity, requirement for warehousing opportunities, etc.) of the articles to be warehoused.

In this specification, the information of the idle bit may include: the storage capacity of the idle bin (e.g., size, distance from the floor of the warehouse, size of a warehouse transportation aisle in communication therewith, a reserved space provided for goods pick-and-place operations, etc.), information associated with the idle bin in a layout of the warehouse (e.g., distribution of transportation aisles in the warehouse that can be used with the idle bin, transportation capacity, distance from an exit, an entrance of the warehouse to the idle bin, transportation aisles that can be used between an exit, an entrance of the warehouse and the idle bin, etc.).

S102: and aiming at each article to be stored, determining the alternative storage position corresponding to the article to be stored in each idle storage position according to the information of the article to be stored, the information of each idle storage position and a preset constraint condition.

In this specification, the operation of determining the candidate storage location corresponding to the to-be-stored article is an operation of roughly screening each idle storage location for the to-be-stored article, and is used to exclude an unsuitable part of the idle storage locations relative to the to-be-stored article, and the idle storage locations remaining after rough screening are used as the candidate storage locations for the to-be-stored article. According to the method, firstly, the optional storage positions of the articles to be stored are determined through rough screening of the idle storage positions, the range of the available idle storage positions of the articles to be stored is narrowed, the number of the idle storage positions related in the subsequent judging and determining steps is reduced to a certain extent, the processing amount of corresponding information can be reduced, each article to be stored contained in the goods can be distributed to at least one appropriate idle storage position, the overall safety and the keeping quality of the goods are guaranteed, and the overall storage efficiency and the overall circulation efficiency of the goods can be effectively improved.

S104: and determining the matching degree of the storage to be stored and the alternative storage position according to the information of the storage to be stored and the information of the alternative storage position aiming at each alternative storage position corresponding to the storage to be stored.

In this specification, when determining the matching degree between the article to be stored and the candidate bin, the targeted object is the candidate bin, not all idle bins, which greatly reduces the amount of information to be processed. The matching degree is used for representing the suitability degree of the storage to be stored when the storage is placed in the alternative storage position.

S106: aiming at each article to be stored, selecting a storage position corresponding to the article to be stored from the alternative storage positions corresponding to the article to be stored by adopting a specified optimization algorithm according to the matching degree of each article to be stored and the corresponding alternative storage position; and the total matching degree is determined according to the matching degree of each article to be stored and the corresponding storage position.

S108: and warehousing the articles to be warehoused according to the determined storage positions corresponding to the articles to be warehoused respectively.

In this specification, in step S100, the obtained information of each article to be stored and the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse are used to provide a basis for judgment and determination in the process of storing the article. For example, the acquired goods variety of the article to be stored and the goods variety storable in the idle storage position can be used for determining whether the article to be stored and the idle storage position meet the goods variety correspondence constraint; the storage-related physical attributes of the articles to be stored and the storage capacity of the idle storage position can be used for determining whether the dimension adaptability constraint is met between the articles to be stored and the idle storage position; the attribute of the to-be-stored goods related to logistics, the warehouse map to which the idle storage position belongs and the information related to the warehouse map and the idle storage position can be used for determining the in-out convenience representation value of the to-be-stored goods at the alternative storage position.

This operation of acquiring information may be performed by the information acquisition module 200 as shown in fig. 2. Optionally, the obtaining of the information of each article to be stored and the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse may be information acquisition operations respectively performed on each article to be stored and each idle storage position; the information collection operation may be performed for a storage medium in which information of each of the to-be-stored articles and each of the idle storage locations is stored. Alternatively, the information of each article to be stored may be obtained at a different time from the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse. For example, the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse may be information accumulated in the using process of the warehouse, and when the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse needs to be acquired, the corresponding information is called from the database storing the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse. And aiming at the acquisition of the information of each article to be stored, the information of the article to be stored can be acquired when the article to be stored is put into a warehouse for operation. Therefore, the information of the articles to be stored and the information of each idle storage position in the warehouse can be acquired respectively at different times through different information acquisition equipment.

Specifically, the operation of acquiring information may include: and receiving data related to each article to be stored and each idle storage position, and screening out information of each article to be stored and information of each idle storage position in the warehouse from the data for providing judgment and determination basis in the process of storing the goods. For example, for the article to be stored, data related to the article to be stored is received, and the data is screened to obtain information of the article to be stored. The screening operation is used to remove data that is not useful in the warehousing of goods, such as data on the color of the packages to be warehoused.

In this specification, in step S102, the operation of determining the alternative storage location is performed separately for each article to be stored. After the alternative storage position of one article to be stored is determined, the alternative storage position of the next article to be stored is determined until all the alternative storage positions of the articles to be stored are determined. There may be an overlap of sets of alternative storage locations for each of two or more articles to be stored.

When the alternative storage position corresponding to the article to be stored is determined for the article to be stored, the preset constraint condition can be taken as a basis. The preset constraint may be derived from: before the alternative storage positions are determined, for each article to be stored, the obtained constraint condition is used as a preset constraint condition according to the information of the article to be stored and/or the information of each idle storage position. At least some of the constraints may be callable data stored in the computer.

Specifically, the preset constraint conditions include: the goods category corresponding constraint between the article to be stored and the idle storage position, the size adaptability constraint between the article to be stored and the idle storage position, the storage position compatibility constraint between the article to be stored and other articles to be stored, and the deadline attribute constraint of the article to be stored.

After the alternative storage position corresponding to the to-be-stored article is determined, whether the to-be-stored article meets the constraint condition is determined according to the information of the to-be-stored article and the information of each idle storage position, and the alternative storage position corresponding to the to-be-stored article is determined according to the constraint condition met by the to-be-stored article. When determining whether the storage to be stored meets the constraint condition, the information content according to which is determined by the information content specified in the constraint condition. For example, the information content specified in the cargo item correspondence constraint between the to-be-stored item and the idle bin may include: SKU information of the articles to be stored, the requirements of the articles of the variety on the storage positions and the types of the articles which can be stored in the idle storage positions; the information content specified in the size adaptability constraint between the store to be stored and the idle storage position may include: the size of the article to be stored, the reserved space around the article to be stored and the storage capacity of the idle storage position; the information content specified in the deposit space compatibility constraint between the item to be stored and the other items to be stored may include: the degree of mixing of the articles to be stored relative to other goods; the information content specified in the term attribute constraint of the item to be stored may include: production date, shelf life and production batch number. In particular, each constraint has a priority for characterizing its importance. The priority of the same constraint condition may be different for different stores to be stocked and alternative storage locations. For example, if the article to be stored is a large household appliance, the priority of the size adaptability constraint of the article to be stored is higher than the priority of the deadline attribute constraint; for another example, if the article to be stored is fruit or vegetable, the time limit attribute constraint of the article to be stored has a higher priority than the size adaptability constraint.

When determining the alternative storage position corresponding to the article to be stored, the alternative storage position corresponding to the article to be stored may be determined in the priority order of each constraint condition. For example, for the article to be stored, if the priority of the size adaptive constraint is the highest, it is first determined whether the article to be stored satisfies the size adaptive constraint, and if the article to be stored does not satisfy the size adaptive constraint, it is determined that the idle storage position cannot be used as the candidate storage position of the article to be stored, and no other constraint conditions are analyzed.

When the alternative storage position corresponding to the to-be-stored article is determined, the alternative storage position corresponding to the to-be-stored article can be determined according to the number of the constraint conditions met by the to-be-stored article. For example, for the idle storage position, the number of the constraints satisfied by the to-be-stored articles is three, and the number reaches the corresponding threshold, then the idle storage position is used as the candidate storage position of the to-be-stored articles.

It can be seen that, in the method in the present specification, when the candidate reserve position is determined by the constraint condition, the constraint condition is a comprehensive condition that combines a plurality of constraints into a whole. In order to enable results respectively obtained by the constraints to be represented by one datum, when the alternative storage position corresponding to the storage to be stored is determined through the constraint conditions, each idle storage position can be scored according to the results respectively obtained by the constraints. And according to the constraint condition, scoring the idle storage position to indicate whether the idle storage position is suitable for storing the articles to be stored. By the method in the specification, the result obtained according to the constraint condition can be reflected to the calculation of the matching degree of the storage to be stored and the alternative storage position in the form of numerical value. Specifically, the scoring method may be as shown in formula (1).

In the formula: m is_c,lgThe idle storage position is scored according to the object to be stored.

In this specification, through a plurality of constraints, the alternative storage position corresponding to the article to be stored is comprehensively determined, factors in a plurality of aspects can be synthesized, and the idle storage position is screened from a plurality of angles, so that the screening efficiency is improved, and the alternative storage position more suitable for the article to be stored is obtained.

In this specification, in step S104, specifically, in this specification, the determining an in-out convenience characterizing value of the to-be-stored item at the alternative storage location specifically includes:

1) the type of the article to be stored is determined.

Optionally, determining the type of the article to be stored comprises: and determining the type of the article to be stored according to the information of the article to be stored. The type of the article to be stored may include one or a combination of at least two of the information of the article to be stored. The type of the article to be stored may also be information related to the identity of the article to be stored. Optionally, the type of the article to be stored may be SKU information of the article to be stored. The articles to be stored with the same type belong to the same goods variety. In the subsequent step, even if the type of article is not placed on the idle storage position, the idle storage position can be determined according to the type of the article to be stored.

2) Determining the distance required by the type of storage to be delivered out of the warehouse in unit time under the condition that the type of storage is stored in the idle storage position as the delivery distance for each idle storage position; determining the distance required by the storage of the type of objects in storage in unit time under the condition that the storage of the type of objects is stored in the idle storage position as the storage distance; and determining the sum of the ex-warehouse distance and the in-warehouse distance as a moving distance.

Optionally, the distance required for the type of storage to be delivered from the warehouse and the distance required for the type of storage to be stored in the warehouse are respectively the distances to be transported on the transportation channel when the type of storage is delivered from the warehouse or needs to be placed in the idle storage position. Optionally, the distance required by the type of storage for warehousing in unit time is determined as the warehousing distance according to the warehousing frequency of the type of storage and the distance required by the type of storage for warehousing. Optionally, the distance required by the type of storage to be taken out of the warehouse in unit time is determined as the warehouse-out distance according to the warehouse-out frequency of the type of storage and the distance required by the type of storage to be taken out of the warehouse. The specification determines an in-out convenience characteristic value of the to-be-stored goods at the alternative storage position according to the type of the to-be-stored goods, the in-out frequency of the type of the to-be-stored goods and the distance between the alternative storage position and the inlet and the outlet of the warehouse where the alternative storage position is located, and can integrate the attribute of the to-be-stored goods of the type related to logistics and the condition of the alternative storage position related to in-out convenience, so that the factors which are acquired from the angles of the to-be-stored goods and the alternative storage position respectively and can influence the in-out convenience are integrated into the in-out-in convenience characteristic value. The information required for analyzing the convenience of warehousing and delivery is increased, and the objectivity of the obtained characterization value of the convenience of warehousing and delivery is improved; and the comprehensive of a plurality of factors is expressed through the in-out warehouse convenience representation value, so that the efficiency of goods warehousing is improved.

3) The sum of the travel distances determined for each idle bay is determined as the total travel distance.

In this specification, the total moving distance is used as one of the bases for determining the characteristic value of the convenience of the storage in and out of the storage to be stored in the alternative storage position, the convenience of the storage in and out of the storage, which can be provided by the alternative storage position for the storage to be stored, is compared with the convenience of the storage in and out of the storage, which can be provided by all the idle storage positions for the storage to be stored, when the alternative storage position is analyzed, all the idle storage positions are used as comparison objects, so that the characteristic value of the convenience of the storage in and out of the storage is obtained by combining the conditions of the storage to be stored and the alternative storage, and compared with the characteristic value obtained by all the idle storage positions, the characteristic value of the convenience of the storage in and out of the storage obtained by the method is more objective, more accurate, more comprehensive and more targeted, and.

4) And determining an in-out convenience characteristic value of the to-be-stored goods in the alternative storage position according to the total moving distance, the moving distance determined aiming at the alternative storage position and the number of idle storage positions.

In this specification, when the warehousing convenience characteristic value is determined, the number of the idle storage positions is used as one of the bases, so that the warehousing and ex-warehousing convenience degree of the standby storage position for storing the to-be-warehoused storage can be determined from the perspective of the to-be-warehoused storage in combination with the current use condition of the warehouse, and the warehousing and ex-warehousing convenience degree is expressed in combination with the warehousing and ex-warehousing convenience characteristic value. For example, the number of idle storage positions in the current warehouse is 10, and the obtained characteristic value of the convenience of entering and exiting the warehouse is a' for the storage to be stored and the alternative storage position a; the number of idle storage positions in the current warehouse is 1000, and the obtained warehouse-in and warehouse-out convenience characteristic value is B' for the same storage position B to be stored and the alternative storage position B. If a 'is larger than B', it indicates that the alternative storage location B can provide convenience for the storage to be stored, and is smaller than the alternative storage location a can provide convenience for the storage to be stored.

Specifically, the in-out convenience characteristic value of the to-be-stored article at the alternative storage position can be obtained by formula (2).

In the formula:

m_h,lgthe characteristic value of the convenience of the storage to be stored in the alternative storage position for the storage and retrieval is obtained;

d_in,lthe distance required for warehousing the type of storage;

f_in,gthe frequency of warehousing for this type of storage;

d_out,lthe distance required for the type of storage to leave the warehouse;

f_out,gthe warehouse-out frequency of the type of storage;

l is the number of idle bits.

Specifically, in this specification, determining the value representing the association between the to-be-stored item and the alternative storage location, as shown in fig. 3, specifically includes:

s300: and determining the relevance of the stored articles to be stored and the stored articles stored on the non-idle storage positions aiming at each non-idle storage position.

Optionally, according to the pre-acquired goods order information, a preset association degree acquisition algorithm is adopted to determine the association degree between the stored goods to be stored and the stored goods stored in the non-idle storage position. The preset association degree obtaining algorithm may be an Apriori algorithm (association rule algorithm).

S302: and determining the actual position association degree between the stored article to be stored and the stored article stored on the non-idle storage position under the condition that the stored article to be stored is stored in the idle storage position according to the association degree of the stored article to be stored and the stored article stored on the non-idle storage position and the distance between the idle storage position and the non-idle storage position aiming at each idle storage position.

In this specification, the relevance characterization value of the article to be stored and the alternative storage position is determined according to the distance between the idle storage position and the non-idle storage position, so that the objectivity and the comprehensiveness of the relevance characterization value are improved. By taking the relevance representation value of the storage to be stored and the alternative storage position in the specification as a basis, when the delivery operation of various goods in the order is executed according to the goods order information, the variety of goods in the order can be obtained in a small range in the warehouse. The transportation distance required by the warehouse-out operation implemented by aiming at various goods in the same order is shortest, the required warehouse-out time is shortest, and the acquired warehouse-out efficiency is highest.

Wherein, the weight value of the token value is used for indicating the importance of the token value in the process of determining the matching degree. Alternatively, the degree of matching may be determined by equation (7). When the matching degree between the storage to be stored and the alternative storage position is determined, if no characteristic value exists, the value of the characteristic value is 0 in formula (7).

As shown in fig. 6, based on the service execution method shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of this specification further provides a schematic structure diagram of an electronic device. As shown in fig. 6, at the hardware level, the electronic device includes a processor, an internal bus, a network interface, a memory, and a non-volatile memory, but may also include hardware required for other services. The processor reads a corresponding computer program from the non-volatile memory into the memory and then runs the computer program to implement the method for generating the indoor map described in fig. 1.

Of course, besides the software implementation, the present specification does not exclude other implementations, such as logic devices or a combination of software and hardware, and the like, that is, the execution subject of the following processing flow is not limited to each logic unit, and may be hardware or logic devices.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an Integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Hardware Description Language), traffic, pl (core universal Programming Language), HDCal (jhdware Description Language), lang, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardward Description Language (vhr Description Language), vhal (Hardware Description Language), and vhigh-Language, which are currently used in most common. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic for the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a controller may thus be considered a hardware component, and the means included therein for performing the various functions may also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even means for performing the functions may be regarded as being both a software module for performing the method and a structure within a hardware component.

The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product with certain functions. One typical implementation device is a computer.

In a typical configuration, a computing device includes one or more processors (CPUs), input/output interfaces, network interfaces, and memory.

As defined herein, a computer readable medium does not include a transitory computer readable medium such as a modulated data signal and a carrier wave.

It should also be noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
