Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of embodiments of the invention are included to assist understanding, and which are to be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
The invention provides a warehouse-out positioning method, which solves the problems of insufficient flexibility, insufficient optimization, incompleteness and the like in the conventional warehouse-out positioning method.
The ex-warehouse positioning method unifies two branches of box picking and zero picking in actual sorting, processes according to the granularity of current warehouses, different article suppliers and different orders, simultaneously filters storage positions in a positioning storage area by combining order parameters to obtain the positioning storage positions, then sorts the positioning storage positions according to multiple factors such as batches, quantity, box gauges and the like, selects the storage positions to be ex-warehouse according to an applicable matching rule, and finally ends positioning when the quantity of the articles in the storage positions to be ex-warehouse meets ex-warehouse conditions, so that ex-warehouse positioning can be performed more perfectly, efficiently, flexibly and transparently, the algorithm analysis granularity is smaller, and meanwhile, the efficiency improvement and the cost benefit are brought to warehouse operation.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of main steps of a method for ex-warehouse location according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method for ex-warehouse location according to the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S101 to S104.
Step S101: and screening the locatable storage positions from the locatable storage areas according to the parameters of the orders to be delivered out of the warehouse.
In the embodiment of the present invention, an order that is not located may be queried at a fixed time (e.g., 5 seconds, and the time is configurable), and then the order that meets the condition is used as an order to be taken out of the warehouse, and a storage location is selected to implement the location of taking out the warehouse, where the condition that needs to be met by the order to be taken out of the warehouse is, for example, a condition related to the order wave, which is generally a time period. In specific implementation, for example, an order in the time period of 9:00-10:00 can be selected as an order to be delivered, and delivery positioning is performed. Additionally, when there are many orders within the selected time period, the orders may also be ordered, for example: and sequencing according to the order type (ex-warehouse order, warehousing order, returned order and the like), order timeliness and the like, and generating an aggregate order and the like for the order so as to select the order to be ex-warehouse after the order is subjected to primary processing. In addition, when the delivery location of the order to be delivered is performed, the virtual goods are generally not considered, such as: gift purchase packaging, greeting cards, delayed release, etc.
After the order to be delivered is obtained, the storage positions of the storage areas capable of being positioned can be filtered according to the parameters of the order to be delivered, so that the storage positions capable of being positioned can be screened out. According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, the warehouse can be divided into a locatable storage area and an unsettable storage area (generally storing some articles or important materials and the like which are not used for taking orders out of the warehouse), and the storage location is selected from the locatable storage area to be taken out of the warehouse every time when the order to be taken out of the warehouse is taken out and located. One article can be placed on each storage position, various articles can be placed on each storage position, the whole box of articles can be placed on each storage position, scattered articles can be placed on each storage position, and when the inventory quantity on each storage position is counted, the quantity of the articles contained in the order to be taken out of the warehouse is generally counted. The storage area can be divided into a goods-picking storage area and a goods-non-picking storage area (such as a storage area for stock preparation) according to different functions, the goods in the goods-picking storage area can be directly picked, the goods in the goods-non-picking storage area can not be directly picked, but the goods in the goods-non-picking storage area can be supplemented to the goods-picking storage area and then picked from the goods-picking storage area. The goods storage area can be generally divided into a box picking area and a zero picking area, when the goods in the order to be delivered from the warehouse meet one box, the goods can be picked from the box picking area directly, so that the labor and time cost are saved, but when the goods in the order to be delivered from the warehouse are only scattered, the goods need to be picked from the zero picking area, if the quantity of the goods in the zero picking area is insufficient, the goods in the box picking area need to be used for supplementing the goods to the zero picking area, and then the goods are picked from the zero picking area. The function division of the specific warehouse can be flexibly set according to the actual use requirement, and is not limited to the warehouse division structure listed in the embodiment of the invention.
The parameters of the orders to be ex-warehouse may generally include: the shelf life of the product, the grade of the product (including, for example, good product, defective product, etc.), whether or not the total quantity is mandatory (that is, the total quantity of the order must be satisfied each time the product is taken out of the warehouse), the attribute value of the designated lot (for example, the lot number of the designated lot, etc.), the designated storage area, the designated box size (the size of the entire box when the entire box is taken out of the warehouse), and the like. And overall filtering the stock data in the warehouse according to the parameters of the order to be delivered. In addition, according to the preset identification information of the storage area capable of being positioned, the storage positions in the warehouse can be filtered and screened, so that a storage position set capable of being positioned is obtained. Meanwhile, the stock quantity of the articles to be delivered from each locatable storage position can be obtained. And preliminarily judging whether the ex-warehouse conditions of the order to be ex-warehoused can be met or not by comparing the sum of the inventory quantity of the articles to be ex-warehoused, which are included in the locatable storage positions, with the quantity of the articles to be ex-warehoused in the order to be ex-warehoused.
Step S102: and sorting the locatable storage positions according to a sorting rule.
After the set of locatable storage bits is obtained, how to sort the storage bits can be set according to needs, and when different sorting rules are selected, sorting results of the storage bits have great difference. Specifically, the ordering rule may include, for example, one or more of the following:
sequencing according to the article batches on the locatable storage positions;
sorting according to the priority of the storage area to which the locatable storage position belongs;
sorting according to whether the storage area to which the locatable storage position belongs is a default storage area;
sequencing according to the quantity of the articles on the locatable storage positions;
sorting according to the article box gauges on the locatable storage positions;
sorting according to the sorting order of the storage position numbers of the locatable storage positions.
The sequencing according to the article batches on the locatable storage positions is, for example, sequencing according to first-in first-out or first-in first-out, last-in first-out or the like, wherein the locatable storage positions are sequenced by taking the date as the granularity and the expiration time of the quality guarantee period of the warehouse-in or article as sequencing basis. In this manner, items having a shelf life may be ordered by expiration time.
When sorting according to the priority of the storage area to which a locatable bin belongs, the bins may be sorted according to different priorities of each bin, for example: the explosive area, the rapid access area and the like can be set to have higher priority so that the storage positions of the explosive area and the rapid access area can be selected preferentially to be taken out of the warehouse. Therefore, when sales promotion activities are carried out, the warehouse can be rapidly and efficiently taken out.
The locatable storage locations are sorted according to whether the storage area to which the locatable storage locations belong is a default storage area, and generally, the locatable storage locations are sorted according to the sequence of firstly non-default storage areas and then default storage areas.
When the sorting is performed according to the number of the articles on the locatable storage positions, the sorting can be performed in an ascending order or a descending order according to the number of the articles on each locatable storage position, and when the sorting is performed specifically, the sorting is performed in an ascending order or a descending order according to the selected matching rule.
When sequencing according to the article case rule on the storage position that can fix a position, can arrange the storage position and sequence according to big case rule earlier back little case rule, the mode of first case back zero. Wherein, the box gauge refers to the specification of each box of articles, such as: a tank of milk comprises 24 tanks, and each tank of milk is 500ml (milliliters), so that the corresponding tank specification is 500ml by 24 tanks.
Sorting is carried out according to the sorting sequence of the storage position numbers of the locatable storage positions, generally, the storage positions can be numbered for facilitating management of the storage positions in a warehouse, and information such as specific positions of the storage positions and the quantity and specification of placed articles can be obtained according to the storage position numbers. Sorting is carried out according to the sorting sequence of the storage position numbers, and the storage positions convenient to sort can be arranged in front, so that the sorting time of the articles is saved, and the sorting efficiency is improved.
In specific implementation, one or more of the above sorting rules may be selected as needed, or priority order setting may be performed for the selected sorting rules, so as to sort the locatable storage locations, thereby meeting different requirements. In addition, when necessary, different sequencing rules can be additionally added, and the setting can be carried out through the open interface of the sequencing rules provided by the embodiment of the invention. For example, the selected sort rules are: the storage positions are sequentially sorted according to the article batches on the locatable storage positions and the article quantity on the locatable storage positions, so that the articles are firstly sorted according to the sequence of the article batches, secondly sorted according to the article quantity, and sorted out by priority according to the quality guarantee period and other factors of the articles and the article quantity factor on the storage positions.
Step S103: and selecting storage positions to be taken out of the warehouse from the sorted locatable storage positions according to the matching rules.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the matching rules may for example comprise one or more of the following: from few to many matches, from many to few matches, up matches, down matches. The implementation principle of each matching method will be described below.
1. Matching from few to many represents a matching mode that preferentially empties small bins. When matching is carried out from less to more, the locatable storage positions are firstly sorted from less to more according to the quantity of the stored articles, then matching is sequentially carried out from the first locatable storage position in sequence until the sum of the quantity of the matched locatable storage positions is larger than or equal to the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered, and the matched locatable storage positions are used as the storage positions to be delivered.
2. Matching from many to few represents the least workload matching method, but the matching method is easy to cause the storage position to be fully disassembled. When matching from more than to less, firstly, the locatable storage positions are sorted from more than to less according to the quantity of the stored articles, then the matching is sequentially carried out from the first locatable storage position in sequence until the sum of the quantity of the matched locatable storage positions is larger than or equal to the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered, and the matched locatable storage positions are used as the storage positions to be delivered.
3. The upward matching represents that the first storage position which is larger than the order quantity is matched upwards, namely, the order is picked at one time, the matching mode can realize the least picking times, and the storage position with the quantity of the stored items closest to the quantity of the items of the order to be delivered can be found.
4. A down-match, representing a down-match of a bin less than the order quantity, will preferentially empty the bin having the quantity of stock items closest to the quantity of items of the order to be taken out.
When upward matching or downward matching is performed, the locatable storage positions equal to the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered need to be searched in the stock article data of the locatable storage positions, if the locatable storage positions equal to the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered can be found, the found locatable storage positions are used as the storage positions to be delivered, otherwise, upward or downward matching is performed until the storage positions to be delivered meeting the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered are found. In general, when the upward matching or the downward matching is selected as the first matching rule, in order to avoid the situation that the bin meeting the order number cannot be matched due to the limitation of the matching rule, the downward matching or the upward matching is simultaneously selected as the second matching rule.
In one embodiment of the invention, the matching rules are, for example, a combination of down-matching and up-matching, and the down-matching is prioritized so as to achieve a prioritized emptying of bins and a minimum number of pick-ups. When the storage positions are matched, the storage positions which can be positioned are sorted according to the quantity of the stored articles from more to less; then, searching the locatable storage positions in the stock item data of the locatable storage positions, wherein the number of the locatable storage positions is equal to that of the items of the order to be delivered; if the locatable storage positions equal to the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered cannot be found, the locatable storage positions with the first article quantity smaller than the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered are downwards matched as storage positions to be delivered according to the sequencing of the locatable storage positions, the downward matching is continued according to the residual order quantity until all the locatable storage positions which are downwards matched do not meet the residual order quantity, and then the locatable storage positions with the first article quantity larger than the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered are upwards matched as storage positions to be delivered. For example: assuming that the stocks of the locatable storage positions are respectively 20, 15, 10, 6, 4 and 2, if the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered is 8, no locatable storage position which is exactly equal to the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered exists, downward matching needs to be performed, and two matched storage positions to be delivered are respectively the two locatable storage positions with stocks of 6 and 4; if the quantity of the articles of the order to be delivered is 1, all the matched storage positions capable of being positioned downwards do not meet the quantity of the remaining orders, upward matching needs to be executed, and the matched storage positions capable of being delivered are the storage positions capable of being positioned, with the stock being 2.
In specific implementation, one or more of the above matching rules may be selected as needed, or priority order setting may be performed on the selected matching rules, so as to better determine the storage location to be delivered, thereby meeting different requirements.
Step S104: and judging whether the storage position to be delivered meets the delivery condition, and if so, finishing delivery positioning.
In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, if the storage position to be delivered does not meet the delivery condition, replenishment is executed, and delivery positioning is carried out again.
The conditions that do not satisfy the ex-warehouse conditions may specifically include the following 3 types:
the sum of the quantity of the articles in the storage positions to be delivered is less than the quantity of the articles in the order to be delivered;
the storage positions to be delivered are provided with storage positions in the non-picking goods storage area;
the storage positions to be delivered out of the warehouse are provided with storage positions which are positioned in the box picking area and need to be disassembled;
the locatable storage area comprises a goods-picking storage area and a goods-non-picking storage area, and the goods-picking storage area comprises a box-picking area and a zero-picking area.
According to the embodiment of the invention, when the replenishment is carried out, the number of the replenishment is not limited to only enabling the stock of the storage space after the replenishment to meet the quantity of the goods of the order to be delivered, and meanwhile, the replenishment of the whole box or the whole storage space needs to be carried out by referring to various factors such as the maximum replenishment quantity of the goods and the maximum stock of the storage space.
According to the steps S101 to S104, various factors such as storage positions, articles, article suppliers and the like can be comprehensively considered, the storage positions in the warehouse are screened, sorted, matched and judged, so that perfect, efficient, flexible and transparent ex-warehouse positioning is realized, the data analysis granularity is smaller, and greater efficiency improvement and cost benefit are brought to warehouse operation.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of the ex-warehouse location algorithm according to the embodiment of the present invention. Since the order is generally required to be delivered in full quantity, if the order is delivered in batches for many times, the waste of manpower and financial resources in the sorting, matching, logistics distribution and other processes will be caused, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the order delivery in full quantity must be forced.
As shown in fig. 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, after an order to be delivered is obtained, information such as the quantity of an article and an order parameter is obtained by traversing data of the order to be delivered; secondly, filtering the locatable storage area according to the order parameters to screen out locatable storage locations; then, judging whether the inventory total amount of the locatable storage positions meets (is more than or equal to) the quantity of the order items, if not, the locatable storage positions cannot be taken out of the warehouse, if so, sorting the locatable storage positions according to a selected sorting rule, wherein the sorting rule comprises information such as a sorting method and a priority order among different sorting methods when a plurality of sorting methods are selected; then, matching the storage positions to be discharged from the warehouse from the sorted locatable storage positions; finally, whether the storage position to be delivered meets the delivery condition is judged, and the method specifically comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps that firstly, whether the sum of the quantity of articles to be delivered from a storage position is larger than or equal to the quantity of articles of an order to be delivered is judged, if yes, the second step of judgment is carried out, and otherwise, replenishment is carried out; secondly, judging whether the storage positions to be delivered are all located in the goods-sorting storage area, if so, carrying out the third step of judgment, and otherwise, executing goods replenishment; and thirdly, judging whether the storage positions to be delivered are all located in the zero picking area, if so, finishing delivery positioning, and otherwise, executing replenishment. In the three steps of determination, if replenishment needs to be executed, the storage position after replenishment is used as a storage position to be delivered, so as to complete delivery positioning.
