Description

Method and device for realizing planned warehouse crossing based on sorting by sub-sowing

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and a device for realizing planned warehouse crossing based on sorting by sowing.

Background

Cross-warehouse (Cross-shipping) refers to the direct "flow" of items from a receiving process to a delivery process through a warehouse. The planned cross-warehouse is a warehouse behavior ordered by a pin, and the quantity of the articles of the purchase order is determined according to the condition of the delivery order. Items purchased for a purchase order may be serviced by one or more shipping orders, and each purchase order may be pre-planned for several shipping order services.

In many warehouse operations at present, the standard operation flow includes: pre-inspection of goods, loading to a storage area, replenishment to a picking area, positioning in a warehouse, picking in the picking area, rechecking, packing, shipping and the like. The warehouse operation does not carry out customized support on the planned cross warehouse, and the warehouse space and the operation cost are wasted. The existing planned stock-crossing adopts the steps of receiving and pre-checking, automatically loading in stock-crossing areas, positioning out of stock in stock-crossing areas, picking up, rechecking, packaging, shipping and the like.

In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor finds that at least the following problems exist in the prior art:

the existing planned warehouse-crossing operation is only simplified to a certain extent based on standard warehouse-crossing operation, or has the actions of automatically loading to a warehouse-crossing area, positioning to the warehouse-crossing area after leaving the warehouse, picking the goods and the like, and the warehouse-crossing operation mode does not cross the sorting area of the warehouse, so that the operation efficiency of the warehouse is low.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and are to be considered 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.

Standard workflow generally includes: pre-inspection of goods, loading to a storage area, replenishment to a picking area, positioning in a warehouse, picking in the picking area, rechecking, packing, shipping and the like. The warehouse operation does not carry out customized support on the planned cross warehouse, and the warehouse space and the operation cost are wasted. In order to achieve the optimal operation effect of the planned warehouse-crossing, the invention removes four actions of loading to a storage area, replenishing to a picking area, discharging and positioning, picking in the picking area and the like through the large transformation of the traditional warehouse-crossing operation flow, and directly adopts an operation mode of separately sowing and picking by a separate sowing wall (Rebin) instead, thereby greatly improving the operation efficiency of the planned warehouse-crossing.

According to one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a method for implementing a planned cross-warehouse based on a multicast order picking is provided.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of main flow of a method for implementing a planned cross-warehouse based on a picking order according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method for implementing a planned cross-warehouse based on a picking order according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: step S101, step S102, and step S103.

And step S101, acquiring each delivery order associated with the purchase order, and receiving goods in the purchase order from a warehouse according to each delivery order.

Each item in the shipment order that requires a cross-warehouse job. In the actual application process, the quantity of the shipping orders which can be served by each purchase order can be determined according to the shipping orders and the purchase orders which are required to be stored. In order to facilitate the identification process, the delivery orders that need to be placed across the warehouse and the purchase orders that serve the delivery orders may be associated in advance and marked across the warehouse. It should be noted that the purchase order may serve a plurality of delivery orders that need to be placed across the warehouse while serving other delivery orders that do not need to be placed across the warehouse.

The shipping container includes two types: and (5) crossing the warehouse to receive the container and normally taking the container on the shelf. The overstock receiving container is used for containing articles requiring overstock operation in the purchase order, and the container to be put on shelf is normally used for containing articles requiring no overstock operation in the purchase order. The overstock containers need to retain the relationship with the corresponding purchase order for subsequent processing.

Assuming that 1000 products a are included in the purchase order, the purchase order simultaneously serves three delivery orders B1, B2, B3 requiring a cross-stock and one delivery order C requiring no cross-stock, the number of products a required in the delivery orders B1, B2, B3, C is 100, 200, 300, 400, respectively. 600 (100 +200 + 300) goods a in the purchase order can be received out of the warehouse receiving container, and the rest 400 goods a are received into the normal shelf container. The warehouse-over goods receiving container does not need to enter a warehouse, directly enters a sorting link, and normally needs to be put on a shelf for warehouse entry, so that the warehouse-over goods receiving container is only used for containing articles needing warehouse-over operation, and the normally needs to be put on a shelf container is only used for containing articles not needing warehouse-over operation.

Since the embodiments of the present invention mainly relate to processing of delivery orders that need to be stored more than once, for convenience of description, the delivery orders mentioned later refer to delivery orders that need to be stored more than once.

Optionally, receiving the goods in the purchase order from the respective shipping order over the warehouse, includes: according to the item codes and the item numbers of the items in each delivery order, determining the estimated stock-crossing quantity of the items to be stored; for each item to be restocked, the item corresponding to the projected restocked amount in the purchase order is received into the restocked container.

Illustratively, a certain purchase order serves two shipping orders, including three items D1, D2, and D3; in the two shipping orders, the required amount of the article D1 is Q1 and Q2 respectively, the required amount of the article D2 is Q3 and Q4 respectively, and the required amount of the article D1 is Q5 and Q6 respectively. The estimated amount of the item D1 to be moved over the library is: (q1+q2), the estimated stock-crossing amount of the article D2 to be stored is: (q3+q4), the estimated stock-crossing amount of the article D3 to be stored is: (Q5+Q6). Thus, the (q1+q2) item D1, (q3+q4) item D2, and (q5+q6) item D3 in the purchase order are received into the overstock container.

In the process of receiving articles from the overstock receiving container, the remained overstock receiving amount can be calculated and displayed in real time. Therefore, on one hand, the receiving condition of the articles needing to be stored in the warehouse can be known in real time, and on the other hand, the capacity or the number of the storage containers needing to be stored in the warehouse can be conveniently determined.

Optionally, before the item in the purchase order corresponding to the projected stock-out amount is received into the stock-out container, further comprising: and determining the number of the overstock containers according to the estimated overstock amount of each article to be overstocked and the capacity of each overstock container. For example, if the number of the stock-out containers is estimated to be 2000, and each stock-out container is 1000, two stock-out containers may be used for the stock-out. Because the capacity of each overstock receiving container is limited, the number of the overstock receiving containers is determined in advance according to the estimated overstock quantity, and the situation that the goods cannot be received due to the limited capacity of the overstock receiving containers can be avoided.

Step S102, using a separate-distribution wall to separate and distribute the articles in the overstock receiving containers to each delivery order, and obtaining the picking containers of each delivery order with the picked goods completed;

the dividing wall comprises a plurality of dividing grid openings. In the actual use process, a sorting container can be bound for each sorting grid in advance, so that after the sorting grid is bound with the delivery order, sorting is carried out by using the bound sorting containers. Of course, sorting containers may also be bound for the multicast pocket when it is determined that a multicast is desired to be performed using the multicast pocket. Before binding a sorting container, the sorting container to be bound may be checked to determine whether the sorting container can be bound to the current drop grid. The standard of the test is whether the sorting container to be bound is already bound to a dividing grid; if yes, the sorting container cannot be bound to the current dividing grid; otherwise, the sorting container may be bound to the current multicast bin.

Optionally, the sorting of the items in the overstock containers using the sorting wall sorting includes:

In some embodiments, the method for distributing the corresponding item number in the overstock container to the sorting container bound by each distributing grid port comprises the following steps: for each unicast bin: the articles corresponding to the number of the articles in the warehouse-crossing goods receiving container are distributed into sorting containers bound by the distributing grid openings, and after the completion of the distributing grid openings is confirmed, the next distributing grid opening is jumped; and circulating until the distribution of all the distribution grid ports is completed. The completion of the sorting operation refers to completion of the operation of placing the corresponding number of the articles into the sorting container to which the sorting opening is bound.

Illustratively, the article a needs to be distributed into the sorting containers bound by the three distribution grid openings a1, a2 and a3, and the number of the articles to be distributed in each distribution grid opening is q1, q2 and q3 respectively. During sub-sowing, q1 articles a in the overstock receiving container are firstly sub-sown into a sorting container bound by a sub-sowing grid port a 1; after the completion of the multicast grid port a1 is confirmed, the next multicast grid port a2 is jumped; distributing q2 articles a in the overstock receiving container to a sorting container bound by a distributing grid port a2; after the completion of the sub-broadcasting lattice port a2 is confirmed, jumping to the next sub-broadcasting lattice port a3; sorting q3 articles a in the overstock receiving container into a sorting container bound by the dividing grid port a3; after the completion of the distribution grid port a3 is confirmed, the distribution process of the article a is finished.

In some embodiments, the method for distributing the corresponding item number in the overstock container to the sorting container bound by each distributing grid port comprises the following steps: and respectively distributing the articles corresponding to the number of the articles in each distribution grid port in the warehouse-crossing goods receiving container to each distribution grid port, and then confirming that the distribution of each distribution grid port is completed.

Illustratively, the article a needs to be distributed into the sorting containers bound by the three distribution grid openings a1, a2 and a3, and the number of the articles to be distributed in each distribution grid opening is q1, q2 and q3 respectively. During sorting, q1 articles a in the overstock receiving container are sequentially sorted into sorting containers bound by the sorting grid openings a1, q2 articles a are sorted into sorting containers bound by the sorting grid openings a2, q3 articles a are sorted into sorting containers bound by the sorting grid openings a3, and then whether the sorting of the three sorting grid openings a1, a2 and a3 is finished is confirmed at one time. For example, a one-key confirmation button is set in the device adopting the method of the embodiment of the invention, and the completion of the distribution of each distribution grid is confirmed by clicking the one-key confirmation button. Whether each sub-broadcasting grid port is sub-broadcast is confirmed at one time, so that the sub-broadcasting speed can be improved, and the operation efficiency of a warehouse is further improved.

Optionally, after the articles corresponding to the number of the articles in the overstock receiving container are distributed to the sorting containers bound by the distributing grid openings, the method further comprises: for each unicast bin: judging whether the dividing grid is finished or not, and judging whether the sorting container bound by the dividing grid is full; if the dividing grid opening is not divided and the sorting container bound by the dividing grid opening is full, taking out the sorting container currently bound by the dividing grid opening and binding a sorting container for the dividing grid opening again; and when the sorting container bound by the dividing grid comprises all the articles in the corresponding delivery order, and the number of the articles of each article in the sorting container bound by the dividing grid is equal to the number of the articles of the corresponding articles in the corresponding delivery order, judging that the dividing of the dividing grid is finished.

Illustratively, assume that the number of items of item b in the shipping order to which the drop port b is bound is 500, and that the size of the sorting container to which the drop port b is currently bound is 300. When the sorting container currently bound with the dividing grid port b is full of the container, the dividing grid port b does not finish dividing because the number of the articles b which are currently divided by the dividing grid port b is 300 and less than the number of the articles b in the delivery order bound with the dividing grid port b is 500. At this time, the sorting container currently bound with the dividing grid port b is taken out, and one sorting container is bound with the dividing grid port b again. In this way, the situation that the sorting containers cannot be distributed due to limited capacity can be avoided.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned sorting containers are not necessarily full, but may be smaller than their nominal containers. For example, when the actual capacity in the sorting container reaches 80% of the rated capacity, it is determined that the sorting container is full; for another example, when the actual capacity in the sorting container is less than its rated capacity, but the remaining available capacity cannot accommodate a complete item, it is determined that the sorting container is full.

Optionally, before sequentially distributing each item in the overstock container, the method further includes: judging whether the whole overstock receiving container can be distributed to a delivery order or not; if yes, taking the overstock receiving container as a picking container of the delivery order, and taking all the articles in the overstock receiving container as the articles distributed to the delivery order; when all the article codes of all the articles in the over-warehouse harvest container are the article codes in the delivery order corresponding to the current distribution grid port, and the number of the articles of each article in the over-warehouse harvest container is smaller than or equal to the number of the articles of the corresponding articles in the delivery order corresponding to the current distribution grid port, the whole over-warehouse harvest container is judged to be capable of being distributed to one delivery order.

Illustratively, the item codes and item numbers for all items in the over-the-counter harvest container are respectively: SKU1 200, SKU2 300, SKU3 500, SKU is known as Stock Keeping Unit, stock unit, which is the basic unit for in-out inventory metering. The current distribution grid port corresponds to the item codes and the item numbers in the delivery order and are respectively as follows: SKU1 200, SKU2 300, SKU3 500, SKU4 500. The overstock container is used as the pick-up container for the delivery order and all the items in the overstock container are used as the items for the delivery order.

The whole overstock receiving container is distributed to one delivery order, so that the distribution speed can be increased, and the operation efficiency of a warehouse is further improved.

The general grade of the goods includes good products, defective products and the like, or first grade products, second grade products and the like, and the delivery order can specify the required good products or first grade products, so that the grade of the received goods needs to be specified when receiving goods. In order to perform the distribution, it is necessary to determine whether the level of the distributed item matches the level required for the shipping order. Optionally, before sequentially distributing each item in the overstock container, the method further includes: and confirming that the grade of the article in the overstock receiving container is the same as the grade of the corresponding article in the corresponding delivery order of the current distribution grid port. And confirming that the grade of the article in the overstock receiving container is the same as the grade of the corresponding article in the corresponding delivery order of the current distribution grid, and improving the distribution accuracy.

The sorting containers taken out from each sorting grid can be directly sent to a rechecking platform for rechecking, namely rechecking according to the sorting containers. For example, when the review station receives one sorting container of the sorting bin c for the first time, the remaining overstocked volume of the sorting bin c (the remaining overstocked volume is equal to the estimated overstocked volume minus the overstocked volume received each time, the overstocked volume received each time is equal to the number of items in the corresponding sorting container), and when the remaining overstocked volume of the sorting bin c is 0, the delivery order bound by the sorting bin c is reviewed to pass. After the sorting containers taken out of each sorting grid opening are subjected to sorting, all sorting containers bound by the sorting grid opening can be sent to a rechecking platform for rechecking at one time, namely rechecking according to the delivery order. For example, the sorting containers 1, 2 and 3 are sequentially bound to the sorting grid c, when the current sorting container 1, 2 reaches the review station, the sorting grid c is not reviewed, and when all the three sorting containers 1, 2 and 3 bound to the sorting grid c reach the review station, the delivery order bound to the sorting grid c is reviewed.

Step S103, carrying out delivery according to the picked containers of the picked orders to realize planned delivery.

The ex-warehouse in the embodiment of the invention can be direct delivery, and can also be subjected to rechecking and/or packaging treatment before delivery. After the picking containers of the respective shipping orders for which the picking is completed are obtained, the items in the picking containers of the respective shipping orders may be directly shipped. For example, after the delivery order d is sorted, a picking container is obtained, and the goods in the picking container are box inventory goods with outer package, for example, the boxes are taken as stock units, so that the goods in the picking container can be directly delivered. Of course, after the picking containers of the respective delivery orders for which the picking is completed are obtained, the articles in the picking containers corresponding to each delivery order may be packaged separately, and then the packaged articles may be delivered. Further, in order to prevent the delivery error, after the picking container of each delivery order with the picking completed is obtained, each delivery order may be checked by a checking station, and then directly delivered or packaged for delivery.

According to the method for realizing planned delivery over the warehouse based on the separate delivery picking, the articles in the purchase orders are received into the delivery container over the warehouse according to each delivery order, then the articles in the delivery container over the warehouse are directly separated by the separate delivery picking, the purchased articles can pass through the sorting area of the warehouse and directly enter the delivery link after the separate delivery picking, the time from the delivery to the delivery is greatly shortened, the operation efficiency of the warehouse is improved, and meanwhile, the occupation of the storage space of the warehouse and the storage cost of the goods are reduced.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for realizing a planned cross-warehouse based on sorting by sorting in an alternative embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2, the main flow of the method for realizing the planned crossing library based on the sorting by the sorting includes: a pre-warehouse-crossing preparation stage and a planned warehouse-crossing stage.

Stage of preparation before warehouse crossing:

(1) Purchase orders cross the pool identity/cross the pool priority/purchase amount. The purchase amount refers to the total amount of all items that the purchase order needs to purchase. When all the articles in the purchase order need to be stored, the purchase quantity is the total quantity of all the articles needing to be stored; when a purchase order contains both items that need to be restocked and items that do not need to be restocked, the purchase amount refers to the sum of the number of items that need to be restocked and the number of items that do not need to be restocked. When there are multiple purchase orders that need to be moved across the warehouse and the priorities of the individual purchase orders are different, the priority of each purchase order may also be marked for subsequent processing.

(2) The shipping order is cross-warehouse identified.

(3) A purchase order with a cross-over identification is associated with a corresponding shipping order. By correlation, it may be determined that each purchase order serves several shipping orders.

(4) A purchase order and a corresponding shipment order with a cross-stock identification are placed for cross-stock production based on the information.

Planned library-crossing phase:

the main process of the stage comprises the following steps: warehouse entry pre-inspection, sorting, rechecking, packaging, warehouse exit and the like. Wherein links such as rechecking and packing are optional links. By rechecking, the accuracy of the planned crossing can be improved. Items after sorting by sort or after review may be directly delivered out of the warehouse, with overwraps (e.g., bin inventory items in bin inventory units). Of course, the articles after sorting or rechecking may also be packaged, for example, in bulk, before shipping the packaged articles.

The main purpose of warehouse entry pre-inspection is to collect the articles requiring warehouse-crossing operation in the purchase order into warehouse-crossing receiving containers, and collect the articles requiring no warehouse-crossing operation in the purchase order into normal on-shelf containers. The articles in the receiving container with the income of the warehouse-crossing are all the articles which need to be processed with the warehouse-crossing and are directly sent to the sorting link for processing. The articles received into the normal containers to be put on the shelf do not need to be processed by going beyond the warehouse, and are processed according to the normal receiving and sorting procedures, and the description is omitted here.

The primary purpose of the split pick is to split items received from the overstock containers to individual shipping orders. The specific unicast process may be referred to the description of step S102, and will not be repeated here.

Fig. 3-7 are schematic diagrams illustrating operation scenarios of sorting by sorting in an alternative embodiment of the present invention. The following describes exemplary descriptions of the order picking links in the method for realizing the planned cross-warehouse based on order picking according to the embodiment of the present invention in combination with the operation scenarios of fig. 3 to 7.

(1) Set up and divide and broadcast wall

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of an operation scenario in which a multicast wall is provided. Each sorting deck, i.e. one sorting wall, is arranged for the purpose of determining the currently used sorting wall. The transverse row number and the longitudinal column number correspond to the row number and the column number of the dividing grid openings in the dividing wall;

(2) Binding orders

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an operational scenario for binding a purchase order and a shipping order. Through the interface shown in fig. 4, a certain distribution grid may be bound to a shipping order and corresponding purchase order to facilitate subsequent distribution pickups.

The query buttons in the interface can unconditionally query each shipping order which can be bound to the current sub-cast grid, such as non-cancelled, non-sub-cast completed, non-rechecked, non-bound shipping orders and the like. When the query results are displayed, the ordering may be performed according to the order of the cross-warehouse priority of each shipping order or the planned delivery time.

After each of the sub-broadcast lattice openings is bound, clicking the button prompts that N sub-broadcast lattice openings are not bound and whether to continue binding the sorting container. If the user selects to continue binding the sorting container, jumping to an interface shown in fig. 5, and binding the sorting container for the current multicast grid; otherwise, the interface (updated interface) remained in fig. 4 is the next sub-cast grid binding order.

(3) Binding sorting container

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an operational scenario of binding sorting containers.

And (3) without scanning the multicast number by default, the cursor of the interface automatically jumps to the container number. If a certain sub-cast grid number is scanned, the interface of the binding sorting container corresponding to the sub-cast grid number can be switched from the current interface.

Each container number corresponds to a sorting container. By scanning the container number and clicking the binding button, the corresponding sorting container can be bound to the current sub-sowing lattice and jump to the interface of the upper-sister sorting container of the next sub-sowing lattice. If the new container number is scanned again before clicking the binding button, the interface prompts whether a new sorting container is bound and determines whether the sorting container can be replaced. If the sorting container corresponding to the currently scanned container number is already bound to other sorting grids, the interface prompts that the currently scanned container number cannot be bound.

The current sorting bin may be located and the sorting bin to which the sorting bin has been bound displayed by clicking on the [ kibble view button ] in the interface.

After all the bound unicast grid port binding containers are completed, the interface automatically triggers the [ next ] button and jumps to the unicast prompting interface shown in fig. 6; otherwise the [ next ] button cannot be triggered.

(6) Sorting by sowing

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a multicast prompt interface, and fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a multicast display interface.

The interface shown in fig. 6 prompts the user for the number of items to be distributed currently to the distribution grid. The number of the sub-plays is modified according to the stock of the overstock containers and the like. If the overstock container is a bin inventory, the actual pick quantity must be an integer multiple of the bin gauge.

And the articles in the current overstock receiving container can be placed into the sorting container bound with the current dividing grid through scanning the bar code of the articles in the current overstock receiving container. After scanning the overstock containers, before distributing the articles in the overstock containers, it is determined whether the entire overstock containers can be distributed to a shipping order. If yes, prompting whether to directly go to the review station for review without multicast. If the user selects to continue the sub-broadcasting, prompting whether the sub-broadcasting is performed on the current delivery order, if the user selects to perform the sub-broadcasting, the whole sub-broadcasting receiving container is directly sub-broadcasting to the sorting container bound with the current sub-broadcasting grid opening without scanning the sub-broadcasting process of the articles in the sub-broadcasting receiving container.

For the case where the entire overstock container is not to be distributed to the sorting containers currently bound to the distribution grid. When scanning the bar code of the article, judging whether the article stock exists in other overstock receiving containers; if so, judging whether the articles in the other overstock containers can be distributed to the current distribution grid. When the other overstock containers are integrally distributed to other distribution grid openings, the objects in the overstock containers cannot be distributed to the current distribution grid openings. If the articles in the other overstock containers can be distributed to the current distribution grid, the interface prompts the number of the articles which can be distributed to the current distribution grid in the other overstock containers.

If the sub-broadcasting strategy is to sub-broadcast the corresponding articles in the overstock receiving container to the sorting container bound by the sub-broadcasting lattice opening, the sub-broadcasting lattice opening is confirmed to jump to the next sub-broadcasting lattice opening after the sub-broadcasting is completed; and circulating until the distribution of all the distribution grid ports is completed. And after one-time distribution is completed, the container number in the interface is automatically changed into the container number bound by the next distribution grid, and the cursor is positioned at the bar code.

In some cases, it is also necessary to check whether the item can be distributed before distribution. If the registration of the current item does not match the item level required in the shipping order, then no distribution is possible for items having different levels. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the type of the current article is consistent with the type of the sorting container corresponding to the current sorting bin, and if the former is provided with the identifier of the cross-bin and the latter is not provided with the identifier (for example, the normal container to be put on shelf), the current article cannot be put into the current container.

In the interface shown in fig. 7, if the current drop grid has bound an order but not a container, the interface jumps to the operation interface of the bound sorting container shown in fig. 5.

For convenience of operation, shortcut operation instructions may be set in advance for respective buttons in the interface. For example, the following shortcut operation instructions are set in advance for the completion confirmation of the single multicast port, the confirmation of the full container, and the one-key full confirmation: # SLQR# # # # # MX# # # YJQQR# # # #.
