Detailed Description

In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the drawings in the following description are only some examples of the invention, and that for a person skilled in the art, other drawings and embodiments can be derived from them without inventive effort.

For the sake of simplicity, the drawings only schematically show the parts relevant to the present invention, and they do not represent the actual structure as a product. In addition, in order to make the drawings concise and understandable, components having the same structure or function in some of the drawings are only schematically illustrated or only labeled. In this document, "one" means not only "only one" but also a case of "more than one".

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, a logistics transportation method includes:

step S100 acquires a shipment order of a package to be put in storage.

Specifically, the received packages are put into storage for security inspection. If the package is found to be anomalous (e.g., the package is visually impaired, the package is damaged), the package is screened out, notified to the customer, and returned. And if the acceptance passes, preparing to be put in storage.

Optionally, for a system using a sorting machine, packages that cannot be sorted by the sorting machine due to an excessively large volume or irregular shape are picked out, and the packages are used as large pieces, and are directly put on shelves to a large piece collecting and transporting area after being scanned and put in storage by a code scanning gun. And the others are used as normal packages.

And (5) conveying the normal packages to a sorting machine workpiece feeding port through a conveying belt, and performing warehousing bar code scanning. And acquiring label information (such as an express bill number, a buyer mobile phone number and the like) on the package according to the bar code scanning result. And acquiring a shipping order corresponding to the package according to the label information.

Step S200, the expected delivery waiting time of the package is calculated according to the shipping order.

And determining the expected ex-warehouse waiting time of the package according to the information of the shipping order. Specifically, the estimated time of delivery from the warehouse of the consolidated transportation order is obtained according to the estimated time of arrival of the package which is estimated to arrive last in the consolidated transportation order corresponding to the package; and taking the time difference between the expected warehouse-out time of the collection order and the warehouse-in time of the package as the expected warehouse-out waiting time of the package.

Typically, the ETA time (estimated time of arrival) for each package is derived based on the shipment date for that package and the regular shipment dates between the shipment and the receipt. Comparing the ETA time of each package in the shipment order to determine the estimated arrival time of the package estimated to arrive last; the estimated consignment outbound time for the consignment order is determined based on the time. And taking the time difference between the estimated warehouse-out time and the parcel warehouse-in time as the estimated warehouse-out waiting time of the parcel.

For example, in a unit of day, assuming that a parcel is put in storage in 2 months and 1 day, and the expected delivery time of the corresponding delivery order is 2 months and 3 days, the time difference is 2 days, and the expected delivery waiting time of the parcel is recorded as D2. Dx indicates that the package has x days to ship out of the warehouse, and D0 indicates that the package has the day to ship out of the warehouse. So that it can know whether the parcel needs to be delivered out of the warehouse or not on the same day according to the predicted delivery waiting time of each parcel.

Step S300, when the expected delivery waiting time is 0, sorting the packages to a channel grid of a transportation area;

and S400, when the expected ex-warehouse waiting time is not 0, sorting the packages to waiting area passage grids.

The sorting machine can be used for automatically sorting the warehoused packages. Specifically, the packages are distributed to the conveying grids on the conveyor belt, the conveying grids are already distributed with the channel grid information which should be dropped, and the packages automatically drop after the conveying grids travel to the channel grids. The channel grid type comprises a channel grid of a transportation region and a channel grid of a waiting region.

Allocating corresponding channel grids to the packages according to the expected delivery waiting time of the packages, for example, allocating channel grids of a centralized transportation area to the packages with the expected delivery waiting time recorded as D0; and the other, the waiting area channel grid is distributed. Therefore, the warehouse-in packages can be automatically sorted through the sorting machine.

Preferably, the terminal access grid is disposed within the terminal. Therefore, packages falling on the channel lattice of the gathering area are conveniently loaded and put on the shelf to the warehouse location of the gathering area, and the carrying distance is shortened.

Preferably, in a further embodiment of the invention, the channel cell type further comprises a large piece cell. If the parcel and the parcel accumulated in the bulk cargo area are the same order, a bulk lot is allocated to the parcel. When the package falls into the large piece lattice, the package is transported to the large piece collecting and transporting area. Thus, the container can be transported together with large pieces.

Optionally, in a further embodiment of the invention, the channel cell type further comprises a single-piece cell. If the package is a single piece due to the order splitting exceeding the bottom pocket time, the single piece is entered into the single piece grid. When the package falls into the single grid, the package is directly checked and accepted out of the warehouse. Therefore, unnecessary processes (such as loading and shelving in the collecting and transporting area, picking in the collecting and transporting area and the like) can be avoided, and the collecting and transporting efficiency is improved.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the step 300 includes: and when a plurality of transportation area passage grids exist, acquiring the information of other packages of the transportation orders corresponding to the packages. And if one parcel in the rest parcels is distributed to a transportation area passage cell, distributing the distributed transportation area passage cell to the parcel. And if no package in the rest packages is distributed to the transportation area channel grid, distributing the transportation area channel grid with the empty storage position inquired according to the preset rule to the package.

If the parcel is not the first parcel in the consolidated order entering the consolidation area, at least one parcel in the rest parcels of the consolidated order is allocated with a consolidation area access grid, and the allocated consolidation area access grid is allocated to the parcel. For example, there are 4 transportation area channel grids, two parcels of transportation order 1 arrive in sequence the same day, parcel a is allocated to transportation area channel grid No. 1, when parcel B arrives, parcel a still accumulates in transportation area channel grid No. 1, so parcel B also allocates transportation area channel grid No. 1, so conveniently load the parcel of the same order to the same intelligent sorting vehicle, carry out initial transportation. Assuming that when parcel B arrives, parcel a has been loaded onto the shelf to the bay of the staging area, because parcel a is typically selected to have an empty bay closer to the aisle bay, parcel B is assigned with the aisle bay No. 1 of the staging area, which also facilitates rapid delivery of parcel B to the bay at which parcel a is located.

And if the package is the package entering the transportation area from the first package in the transportation order, no package in the rest packages in the transportation order is distributed to the passage grid of the transportation area. When there are multiple transportation area access grids, the transportation area access grid with empty storage positions can be allocated to the package according to a preset rule. For example, the first container channel cell with empty storage bits is queried in the order of container channel cells, or in reverse order.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the step 400 includes: and when a plurality of waiting area channel grids exist, distributing corresponding waiting area channel grids to the packages according to the predicted delivery waiting time of the packages and preset rules. For example, the estimated ex-warehouse waiting time span ranges from D1 to D4, 4 waiting area channel slots are also set, which are exactly in one-to-one correspondence, D1 is divided into No. 1 waiting area channel slots, D2 is divided into No. 2 waiting area channel slots, and so on. Therefore, packages with the same expected delivery waiting time length can fall on the same waiting area channel grid, and packages falling on the same waiting area channel grid are stored in the same area of the centralized transportation waiting area subsequently, namely, the packages are classified and stored in the centralized transportation waiting area according to the expected delivery waiting time length. Therefore, the parcel picking in the collecting and transporting waiting area is facilitated, the picking difficulty is reduced, and the labor cost is saved. When the packages in the central waiting area need to be transferred to the central waiting area, the packages in the central waiting area need to be picked (i.e. the packages with the expected delivery waiting time of 0 are searched one by one).

Optionally, each waiting area channel grid prepares baskets of different colors to basket packages, and binds basket numbers. Each color represents a different expected outbound waiting period. The different colors facilitate visual differentiation of the projected outbound wait time for the package. Then the baskets are put on shelves to different channels of the transportation waiting area according to the ETA.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, when the expected outbound waiting time of a package is not 0 and the package is the last package in the corresponding consolidated order, the package is sorted to the staging area aisle cell and other packages stored in the same consolidated order in the consolidated waiting area are sorted to the same staging area aisle cell.

This situation typically occurs when the last item in the consolidated order arrives earlier. At this moment, it is not necessary to wait for the expected time of delivering the packages out of the warehouse and then carry out the packages in the warehouse in a gathering and transporting mode, so that the packages are distributed with a passage grid of the gathering and transporting area and fall into the gathering and transporting area, and meanwhile, a picking plan of the packages in the gathering and transporting waiting area is triggered, namely, other packages stored in the gathering and transporting waiting area in the same gathering and transporting order are also transferred to the gathering and transporting area. Therefore, the collecting and transporting efficiency can be improved, and the user satisfaction degree can be improved.

Step S500, the parcels falling on the passage lattice of the waiting area are loaded and put on shelves to the warehouse location of the centralized transportation waiting area;

step S600 loads the packages falling on the passage cell of the gathering area to be put on shelves to the storage position of the gathering area.

Specifically, the collecting warehouse is divided into two areas, namely a collecting area and a collecting waiting area. Putting the packages falling on the passage grids of the waiting area into a centralized transportation waiting area, namely the packages which do not need to be transported out of the warehouse in the same day; and (4) placing the packages falling on the passage grid of the gathering area, namely the packages which need to be gathered and transported out of the warehouse on the same day, into the gathering area.

A large number of packages which are not delivered out of the warehouse on the same day are placed in a centralized transportation waiting area, and the packages which are required to be delivered out of the warehouse on the same day are placed in a centralized transportation area, so that the area of the centralized transportation area can be greatly reduced.

Parcels falling on the waiting area passage cell/the transportation area passage cell can be loaded to the storage position of the corresponding area through manpower or intelligent equipment for collecting and transporting the parcels or the combination of the two.

Step S700 decrements the expected delivery waiting time of all parcels in the terminal waiting area every day, and sorts all parcels with the updated expected delivery waiting time of 0 to the terminal passage grid.

Specifically, the estimated outbound wait time for packages at the terminal waiting area is updated daily. When the expected delivery waiting time is 0, it indicates that the package needs to be delivered from the delivery waiting area on the same day, and therefore needs to be transferred from the delivery waiting area to the delivery area. At this time, the picking in the pallet waiting area is required.

If the goods with the expected delivery waiting time length being the same are stored together in a centralized mode, the goods picking in the centralized transportation waiting area is relatively simple, and the packages with the expected delivery waiting time length being 0 are only needed to be sorted to the passage grid of the centralized transportation area, so that the packages are transferred from the centralized transportation waiting area to the centralized transportation area.

Step S800 picks the order for the pallet on which the pallet is completed and delivers the order.

Specifically, a shipping order that has completed the shipping and racking process means that all packages of the same shipping order have been completely racked into the storage space of the shipping area, which indicates that all packages of the shipping order are in full, and can be consolidated and packaged out of the storage.

According to the information of the order of the collection and transportation which is finished and put on the shelf, the intelligent equipment for collecting the goods is manually or collected and transported, and all packages of the same collection and transportation order are put into the same collecting basket.

And then, conveying the picking baskets to an acceptance area through a roller line for scanning and acceptance, scanning all packages in each picking basket, and automatically printing a gathering and transporting bill if the packages in the same picking basket are in the same order and are accurate in quantity. If the packages in the same sorting basket are not in the same order and the number is not accurate, the system gives a corresponding prompt, and the packages are subjected to offline exception handling. Normally print the parcel dress of collection fortune face list and return and choose the goods basket, put into the face list and choose the goods basket, place the conveyer belt and pack out of the warehouse by the special messenger.

In the embodiment, the packages are automatically classified and placed in different areas by allocating corresponding passage grids to the packages according to the expected delivery waiting time of the packages, a large number of packages which are not delivered on the same day are placed in a centralized transportation waiting area, and the packages which are delivered on the same day are required to be placed in the centralized transportation area; because the packages which are delivered from the warehouse on the same day are limited, the inventory of the transportation area can be reduced; the packages in the collecting and transporting area only need to be picked and delivered out of the warehouse, so that the processing efficiency of collecting and transporting operation is improved, and the error rate is reduced. And because only the packages with the expected delivery waiting time length of 0 are required to be moved to the centralized transportation area from the centralized transportation waiting area every day, the turnover rate of the centralized transportation area is improved.

Another embodiment of the present invention is an optimized embodiment of the above embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, compared with the first embodiment, the main improvements are as follows:
