Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a tally method, a tally device, electronic equipment and a computer readable medium.
Background
The high-speed development in the fields of e-commerce and the like has higher and higher requirements on distribution, and the improvement of the sorting efficiency of the automatic warehouse is more and more important. In the automatic warehouse, goods on a storage position are conveyed to a picking station through a conveying line or a conveying robot, such as an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), a shuttle car, a stacker and the like, and then picked by a manual or picking robot to complete order delivery. Generally, in the warehouse warehousing based on the multi-layer shuttle system, goods to be warehoused are placed in an empty bin and then are transported to a storage position through a conveying line, a lifting machine and a shuttle. The storage space number of the shelf is limited, and if the storage density of the shelf is high, the storage can be influenced. In addition, the bins are taken out of the bin, goods stored in the bins may be few after a period of time, and partial empty cells in the same bin may occur for the 1/2 and 1/4 bins, thereby causing cellular inventory. The stock of the honeycomb warehouse not only affects the warehousing but also affects the ex-warehouse efficiency, for example, one bin is originally used for picking 3 kinds of goods (1/4 boxes), only one kind of goods is stored in a 1/4 box bin, and only one kind of goods can be picked, so that the ex-warehouse efficiency is reduced. Aiming at the problem of honeycomb inventory proposed above, the management is needed, a plurality of cargo grids of the same cargo are combined, a plurality of cargo grids of different bins are combined into one bin, empty bin recycling is generated, and available storage space is increased.
In the process of implementing the invention, the inventor finds that at least the following problems exist in the prior art:
artificial processing mode is comparatively loaded down with trivial details, and work load is big, and the dispersion degree is uncontrollable, for example original goods dispersion is in a plurality of workbins, if a plurality of workstations require this kind of goods to leave warehouse simultaneously, and these a plurality of workbins can satisfy the concurrency requirement, but probably only remain one case after the merge, will influence the efficiency of leaving warehouse absolutely. In addition, the manual selection may not be optimized enough, and the tallying degree is not high; a tallying task generally comprises only two bins, which greatly limits the range and degree of one tallying, resulting in poor tallying efficiency. In addition, no empty boxes are required to be generated after the tally, so that the problem of cellular inventory still exists after the merger.

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.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a tallying method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1:
step S101, determining a to-be-tallied goods box, wherein the to-be-tallied goods box comprises one or more articles; the purpose of the steps is to determine the range of the material box to be tallied and produce a tallying task. The number of the to-be-tallied material boxes in one tallying task is limited, and the number of the tallying tasks is limited so as not to influence other operations of the storeroom.
Determining the bin to be tallied according to one or more of the following conditions: a bin with empty cargo compartments; bins having a bin with a quantity of articles in the bin below a bin quantity threshold. The bin with empty compartments will create a honeycomb inventory, reducing bin utilization. If the bin is divided into a plurality of grids, the maximum quantity of the articles stored in each grid is the grid article quantity threshold value, and the grids below the grid article quantity threshold value are in an unsaturated state, the utilization rate of the bin is reduced. So that the low-utilization material boxes are selected as the material boxes to be sorted
Step S102, determining the tallying priority of the material box to be tallied; the purpose of this step is to improve the tallying efficiency. The high tallying priority indicates that the bin to be tallied needs to be tallied preferentially, so that the cellular inventory is reduced, and the bin utilization rate and the tallying efficiency are improved. The sorting of the to-be-sorted goods bins can be performed according to the sorting priority. Determining the tally priority of the to-be-tallied bin according to one or more of the following parameters: the goods empty rate of the goods box to be tallied, the goods lattice empty rate of the goods box to be tallied, the volume of the goods box to be tallied and the number of the goods lattices of the goods box to be tallied. The article vacancy rate of the to-be-sorted goods bin refers to the ratio of the quantity of the missing articles to the rated quantity when the articles in a certain goods grid of the to-be-sorted goods bin do not reach the rated quantity (namely a goods grid article quantity threshold value). The empty rate of the goods grids of the to-be-sorted goods bin is the ratio of the number of the empty goods grids of the to-be-sorted goods bin to the total number of the goods grids of the bin. For example, the sorting is performed according to the empty rate of the grids of the to-be-sorted goods box, and the larger the empty rate is, the lower or higher the priority is. Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the empty space rates of the plurality of bins to be tallied are the same, the sorting may be performed according to the other parameters such as the empty space rates of the bins to be tallied, so as to determine the tallying priority.
And step S103, selecting target material boxes from the material boxes to be sorted in sequence according to the order from high to low of the sort priority, and taking the material boxes to be sorted with the sort priority lower than that of the target material boxes as source material boxes. The destination bin is used as a bin for receiving articles in the tally task, and the source bin is used for providing the destination bin with articles, namely, the articles in the source bin are merged into the destination bin. According to the embodiment of the invention, priority ranking is carried out according to the empty rate of the grids of the to-be-sorted goods boxes, the higher the empty rate of the grids is, the higher the sorting priority is, namely the sorting priority of the to-be-sorted goods box with the largest empty rate of the grids is the highest, the to-be-sorted goods box with the highest sorting priority is used as a target material box for the first round of sorting, the to-be-sorted goods box with the sorting priority lower than that of the target material box is used as a source material box, the to-be-sorted goods box with the second sorting priority is used as a target material box for the second round of sorting, and all the to-be-sorted goods boxes are sequentially. According to another embodiment of the invention, the source bins are selected from the to-be-sorted bins in sequence according to the order from low to high of the tally priority, and the to-be-sorted bins with tally priority higher than the tally priority of the source bins are used as the destination bins, that is, whether the destination bins are selected first or the source bins are selected first, or whether the source bins and the destination bins are determined according to the priority levels can achieve the technical effect of combining the source bins and the destination bins.
Step S104, determining articles to be boxed for the destination bin from one or more articles in the destination bin; the purpose of this step is to determine the tally execution objects for the destination bin. The method comprises the steps that articles to be boxed are determined according to the existing articles in a target bin, and only the same articles can be boxed, namely, the articles in a source bin are put into a goods grid of the target bin, wherein the goods are stored in the goods grid when the articles in the source bin are combined into the target bin. Determining an item to be boxed in the destination bin from the one or more items included in the destination bin according to one or more of the following parameters: the number of one or more items in the destination bin; a pre-designated item. One embodiment of the present invention is to determine that the object to be boxed is an object to be boxed when the number of the one or more objects existing in the target bin is less than the rated number, and the corresponding object needs to be selected from the source bin and combined into the target bin. Another embodiment of the invention tallies one or more items in a destination bin as items to be binned, which items may be low stock items or non-marketable items, etc.
Step S105, selecting the articles to be boxed from the source material box and storing the articles into the target material box until the articles to be boxed meet the box-closing termination condition. And the mould assembling termination condition is used for restricting mould assembling operation, namely, the mould assembling of the target material box is completed when the mould assembling termination condition is met. The end-of-closing condition may be that the number of the to-be-closed items in the grid of the destination bin reaches a grid item number threshold, and the number of bins occupied by the to-be-closed items in the inventory is not lower than an item dispersion threshold. The item dispersion threshold value refers to the minimum number of bins in which an item is stored in the stock, and the minimum number can satisfy the concurrence number of the item when the item is taken out of the stock. One embodiment of the invention is that the item to be boxed is selected from the source bin and stored in the target bin until the lattice of the item to be boxed in the target bin reaches the lattice item quantity threshold value and the number of the bins containing the item to be boxed in the stock is higher than the item dispersion threshold value, and then the item is boxed to the target bin. And the box closing termination condition also comprises that if the selected to-be-closed articles after traversing the source box still cannot reach the goods grid article quantity threshold value, the box closing operation of the to-be-closed articles is terminated.
And if the destination bin comprises the empty goods grid, selecting the empty goods grid of the source bin for storing the articles into the destination bin. The purpose of this step is to reduce the cellular inventory, select an item in the source bin, and the number of bins containing the item is not less than the item scatter threshold, and transfer the item into the empty bin of the destination bin in order of the priority of the bin to be sorted, and guide the item to reach the end condition of the closing.
Further, the method further comprises the step of selecting the articles to be boxed from the source bin and storing the articles into the target bin until the articles to be boxed meet the box-closing termination condition, and if an empty bin with all empty cargo grids appears, recycling the empty bin and removing the empty bin from the cargo bin to be sorted.

the task module 201 is used for determining a to-be-tallied goods box, wherein the to-be-tallied goods box comprises one or more articles; the purpose is to determine the range of the material box to be tallied and produce tally tasks. The number of the to-be-tallied material boxes in one tallying task is limited, and the number of the tallying tasks is limited so as not to influence other operations of the storeroom.
The task module 201 is further configured to determine the bin to be sorted according to one or more of the following conditions: a bin with empty cargo compartments; bins having a bin with a quantity of articles in the bin below a bin quantity threshold. The bin with empty compartments will create a honeycomb inventory, reducing bin utilization. If the bin is divided into a plurality of grids, the maximum quantity of the articles stored in each grid is the grid article quantity threshold value, and the grids below the grid article quantity threshold value are in an unsaturated state, the utilization rate of the bin is reduced. So that the low-utilization material boxes are selected as the material boxes to be sorted
The sorting module 202 is used for determining the tally priority of the to-be-tallied material box; the purpose improves tally efficiency. The high tallying priority indicates that the bin to be tallied needs to be tallied preferentially, so that the cellular inventory is reduced, and the bin utilization rate and the tallying efficiency are improved. The sorting of the to-be-sorted goods bins can be performed according to the sorting priority.
The sorting module 202 is further configured to determine a tallying priority of the to-be-tallied bin according to one or more of the following parameters: the goods empty rate of the goods box to be tallied, the goods lattice empty rate of the goods box to be tallied, the volume of the goods box to be tallied and the number of the goods lattices of the goods box to be tallied. The article vacancy rate of the to-be-sorted goods bin refers to the ratio of the quantity of the missing articles to the rated quantity when the articles in a certain goods grid of the to-be-sorted goods bin do not reach the rated quantity (namely a goods grid article quantity threshold value). The empty rate of the goods grids of the to-be-sorted goods bin is the ratio of the number of the empty goods grids of the to-be-sorted goods bin to the total number of the goods grids of the bin. For example, the sorting is performed according to the empty rate of the grids of the to-be-sorted goods box, and the larger the empty rate is, the lower or higher the priority is. Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the empty space rates of the plurality of bins to be tallied are the same, the sorting may be performed according to the other parameters such as the empty space rates of the bins to be tallied, so as to determine the tallying priority.
The tallying module 203 is used for sequentially selecting target material boxes from the material boxes to be tallied according to the tallying priority from high to low, and taking the material boxes to be tallied with the tallying priority lower than that of the target material boxes as source material boxes; the destination bin is used as a bin for receiving articles in the tally task, and the source bin is used for providing the destination bin with articles, namely, the articles in the source bin are merged into the destination bin. According to the embodiment of the invention, priority ranking is carried out according to the empty rate of the grids of the to-be-sorted goods boxes, the higher the empty rate of the grids is, the higher the sorting priority is, namely the sorting priority of the to-be-sorted goods box with the largest empty rate of the grids is the highest, the to-be-sorted goods box with the highest sorting priority is used as a target material box for the first round of sorting, the to-be-sorted goods box with the sorting priority lower than that of the target material box is used as a source material box, the to-be-sorted goods box with the second sorting priority is used as a target material box for the second round of sorting, and all the to-be-sorted goods boxes are sequentially. According to another embodiment of the invention, the source bins are selected from the to-be-sorted bins in sequence according to the order from low to high of the tally priority, and the to-be-sorted bins with tally priority higher than the tally priority of the source bins are used as the destination bins, that is, whether the destination bins are selected first or the source bins are selected first, or whether the source bins and the destination bins are determined according to the priority levels can achieve the technical effect of combining the source bins and the destination bins.
A pick module 204 to determine items to be boxed for the destination bin from among one or more items included in the destination bin; the purpose is to determine the tally execution objects for the destination bin. The method comprises the steps that articles to be boxed are determined according to the existing articles in a target bin, and only the same articles can be boxed, namely, the articles in a source bin are put into a goods grid of the target bin, wherein the goods are stored in the goods grid when the articles in the source bin are combined into the target bin.
The pick module 204 is further operable to determine items to be binned in the destination bin from among the one or more items included in the destination bin based on one or more of the following parameters: the number of one or more items in the destination bin; a pre-designated item. One embodiment of the present invention is to determine that the object to be boxed is an object to be boxed when the number of the one or more objects existing in the target bin is less than the rated number, and the corresponding object needs to be selected from the source bin and combined into the target bin. Another embodiment of the invention tallies one or more items in a destination bin as items to be binned, which items may be low stock items or non-marketable items, etc.
And the box assembling module 205 is configured to select the articles to be assembled from the source box to be stored in the destination box until the end condition of assembling the articles to be assembled is met. And the mould assembling termination condition is used for restricting mould assembling operation, namely, the mould assembling of the target material box is completed when the mould assembling termination condition is met. The end-of-box condition is that the quantity of the to-be-box articles in the grids of the destination bin reaches a grid article quantity threshold value, and the number of bins occupied by the to-be-box articles in the stock is not lower than an article scatter threshold value. The item dispersion threshold value refers to the minimum number of bins in which an item is stored in the stock, and the minimum number can satisfy the concurrence number of the item when the item is taken out of the stock. One embodiment of the invention is that the item to be boxed is selected from the source bin and stored in the target bin until the lattice of the item to be boxed in the target bin reaches the lattice item quantity threshold value and the number of the bins containing the item to be boxed in the stock is higher than the item dispersion threshold value, and then the item is boxed to the target bin. And the box closing termination condition also comprises that if the selected to-be-closed articles after traversing the source box still cannot reach the goods grid article quantity threshold value, the box closing operation of the to-be-closed articles is terminated.
The box closing module 205 is further configured to select an empty grid of items from the source bin for storage in the destination bin if the destination bin includes an empty grid.
