Detailed Description
The present invention will be described below based on examples, but the present invention is not limited to only these examples. In the following detailed description of the present invention, certain specific details are set forth. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. Well-known methods, procedures, and procedures have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention. The figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a picking task allocation method according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1, the method of assigning a picking task includes:
step S101, picking trucks working in a task distribution area are obtained, and a plurality of picking trucks are obtained, wherein one picking truck corresponds to a picking truck task to be claimed by a picking person.
It should be noted that the order picking trucks operating in the task allocation area determine the destination picking point based on the pre-planned picking route. At each moment, each picking truck working in the task distribution area corresponds to a target picking point, the target picking point is a picking point where the picking truck is to be picked by a picking person, picking truck tasks executed by the picking trucks at the target picking points are picking truck tasks required to be claimed by the picking person, and the target picking points and the picking truck tasks are in one-to-one correspondence relationship.
Step S102, calculating the time length required by the target picking personnel to start executing the picking vehicle task to obtain a plurality of picking time lengths, wherein the target picking personnel are the picking personnel completing one picking vehicle task at the current moment.
It should be noted that the time when the target order picker starts executing the order of the order picking trucks is the time when both the order picking trucks and the order picker reach the target order picking point, and therefore, the time required by the target order picker to start executing the order of the order picking trucks is the time interval between the current time and the time when both the order picking trucks and the order picker reach the target order picking point.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a sorting task allocation scenario. Referring to fig. 2, a picking truck corresponds to a target picking point, and the time duration ctime from the picking truck to the target picking point is one; there is also a time duration wtime between the target picker and each destination pick-up point. And calculating the time required by the target picking personnel to start executing the picking truck task according to ctime and wtime corresponding to the picking truck task. In view of the fact that the positions of the pickers are convenient to obtain in the man-machine cooperation storage mode, ctime and wtime can be obtained through distance and speed division.
Step S103, determining the minimum time length in the picking time lengths as a target time length, and determining the picking vehicle task corresponding to the target time length as a claiming task of the target picking personnel.
It should be noted that after the target order picker asks for the task, the target order picker needs to go to the target order picking point corresponding to the task of the order picking truck to perform order picking operation.
After the target picking personnel finishes a picking truck task at the current moment, the picking truck task is distributed based on a one-to-many method from the target picking personnel; according to the method, all the picking trucks in the task distribution area are taken into consideration, the picking trucks waiting for picking at the target picking point and the picking trucks not at the target picking point are also taken into consideration, and the method belongs to a task early distribution mode. Therefore, the order picking task distribution method achieves the purpose of distributing the order picking tasks in the task advance distribution mode by using a one-to-many method, the order picking vehicle tasks are considered comprehensively and reasonably distributed, and the technical problem of low order picking efficiency in the man-machine cooperation order picking mode is solved.
In an alternative embodiment, the plurality of picking trucks includes a first type of picking truck and a second type of picking truck, wherein,
the first type of order picking truck is an order picking truck waiting for order picking at a target order picking point;
the second type of picking truck comprises at least one of the following: order pickers driving toward the destination pickers, order pickers waiting at temporary parking spaces, order pickers being picked at the destination pickers.
It is emphasized that the first order picker is a type of picker that is of interest to the picker when claiming the picker's mission in the prior art human-machine collaborative picking mode. However, in the prior art, the picking personnel is limited by the visual field and cannot acquire detailed information such as the positions of the picking trucks, the second picking trucks are often ignored, only the first picking trucks are found blindly, and the second picking trucks can only wait for the picking personnel after arriving at the target picking point quickly, which leads to the reduction of the picking efficiency.
According to the embodiment of the invention, when the order picking truck tasks are distributed, the order picking trucks not only pay attention to the first order picking trucks, but also pay attention to the second order picking trucks, so that the order picking truck tasks corresponding to the second order picking trucks are included in the order picking truck task distribution range, the technical problem that the second order picking trucks wait for a long time due to being ignored is solved, and the purpose of improving the order picking efficiency in the man-machine cooperation order picking mode is achieved.
For the first type of picker and the second type of picker, the following detailed description describes the execution process of step S102, which calculates the time period required by the target picker to start executing the picker task:
for the first kind of order-picking trucks
In an alternative embodiment, step S102, calculating the length of time required for the target picker to begin performing the order for the picker includes:
the time for the target picker to reach the target pick point is determined as the time required to begin performing the order for the picker.
It should be understood that for the first type of picker truck, ctime is 0; the time duration wTime ═ d of the target picking personnel arriving at the target picking pointki/vwWherein d iskiIndicates the distance v between the target order picking person k and the target order picking point iwThe walking speed of the target picking personnel is represented, so that the target picking personnel can reach the target picking point after the target picking personnel, and for the first type picking vehicle, the time length of the target picking personnel reaching the target picking point is determined as the time length required for starting to execute the task of the picking vehicle, so that the method is more reasonable.
In an alternative embodiment, step S102, calculating the length of time required for the target picker to begin performing the order for the picker includes:
determining the waiting time of the first type order picking vehicle at the target order picking point as a first time;
determining the time length of the target picking personnel reaching the target picking point as a second time length;
constructing a penalty function according to the first duration, and constructing a duration calculation function based on the penalty function and the second duration so that the value of the duration calculation function is smaller than the second duration;
and (4) taking the value of the time length calculation function, and determining the time length required for starting to execute the task of the picking truck.
Specifically, if the waiting time of the first type order picking truck at the destination picking point is still marked as ctime, the constructed penalty function f (ctime) may take the following form:
f(ctime)=e-ctime-t0+1,
the duration calculation function g may accordingly take the form:
g=wtime/f(ctime),
accordingly, the length of time required for the target picker k to begin performing the order i for the order picker is:
ti k=wtime/f(ctime),
wherein, t0The preset value is configured according to the waiting time which can be actually received by the first type order picking trucks, for example, the preset value is configured to be 5 minutes.
In the embodiment of the invention, the duration calculation function is constructed based on the penalty function and the second duration, and the value of the duration calculation function is smaller than the second duration due to the introduction of the penalty function, so that the required duration for the first-class order picker to start executing the order of the order picker is reduced, namely, the penalty function improves the priority of the first-class order picker to be claimed corresponding to the order picker, and is favorable for avoiding the first-class order picker waiting for the order picker to be picked for a long time at the target order picking point.
For the second kind of order-picking trucks
Step S102, under the condition that the order picking truck task is the order picking truck task corresponding to the second order picking truck, calculating the time length required by the target order picking personnel to start executing the order picking truck task, wherein the step S comprises the following steps:
determining the time length required by the second type of order picking truck to reach the target order picking point as a third time length;
determining the time length required by the target picking personnel to reach the target picking point as a fourth time length;
the greater of the third length of time and the fourth length of time is determined to be the length of time required to begin executing the order for the order picker.
Specifically, if the time length required for the second type order picking vehicle to reach the target order picking point is ctime, and the time length required for the target order picker to reach the target order picking point is wtime, the time length required for starting executing the order of the order picking vehicles is as follows:
ti k=max{wtime,ctime}。
(1) for order picking trucks traveling to the destination picking point, determining a time period required for a second order picking truck to reach the destination picking point as a third time period, comprising:
calculating the running time of the picking vehicle from the current position to the picking point;
and determining the running time period as a third time period.
(2) For order picking trucks waiting in the temporary parking spaces, determining the time length required by the order picking trucks of the second type to reach the target order picking point as a third time length, wherein the third time length comprises the following steps:
acquiring the waiting time of the order picking vehicle in the temporary parking space;
calculating the running time of the order picking vehicle from the temporary parking space to the target order picking point;
the sum of the waiting time period and the travel time period is determined as the third time period.
(3) For the case of order picking trucks that are picking at the destination pick point, determining the length of time required for the second order picking truck to reach the destination pick point as a third length of time includes:
acquiring the remaining time of the picking vehicle for picking at a target picking point;
calculating the running time of the order picking vehicle from the temporary parking space to the target order picking point;
and determining the sum of the remaining time length and the driving time length as a third time length.
The order picking vehicle tasks in the task distribution area form a task set T, after the order picking personnel claim the order picking vehicle tasks through the method, the order picking vehicle tasks claimed by the order picking personnel are deleted from the task set T, and an updated task set T' is obtained. At the next moment, if the picking personnel finishes the picking vehicle task claimed by the picking personnel, the task is claimed from the task set T' according to the picking task distribution method provided by the embodiment of the invention.
In an alternative embodiment, after determining the order of the order picking trucks corresponding to the target duration as the claiming order of the target order picker, the method for assigning the order picking order further comprises the following steps:
judging whether the target picking vehicle reaches a target picking point within a target time length, wherein the target picking vehicle is a picking vehicle in a task claimed by a target picking person;
under the condition that the target picking vehicle does not reach the target picking point within the target time length, calculating the sum of the target time length and the preset time length to obtain delay time length;
judging whether the target picking vehicle reaches a target picking point within a delay time;
in the event that the target order picker does not reach the destination order pick point within the delay period, the pick-up task for the target order picker is determined to be an unassigned order picker task.
It should be noted that the preset time period may be set according to the waiting time period actually allowed for the target order picker at the destination order picking point, for example, to 10 s.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the waiting time of the picking personnel can be adjusted through the preset time, and the preset time gives the width and the time limit of the picking vehicle for the condition that the picking vehicle does not arrive at the target picking point on time (for example, the picking vehicle encounters traffic jam in the driving process), so that the situation that the picking vehicle abandons the task of the picking vehicle due to the short-time delay of the picking vehicle is avoided.
After the majority of the order picking trucks in the order distribution area are distributed by the distribution method, if there are also individual unassigned order picking trucks, for example, the order picking trucks that need to be executed by the order picking trucks newly added to the order distribution area. For the situation, the method for distributing the picking task further comprises the following steps:
determining unallocated order picker tasks in a task allocation area;
calculating the time length required by the picking personnel to start executing in the task distribution area of the unassigned picking truck task to obtain a plurality of new picking time lengths;
and determining the order picking personnel corresponding to the minimum time length as the claiming personnel which are not allocated with the order picking vehicles in the plurality of new order picking time lengths.
In particular, fig. 3 illustrates a picking task assignment scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention, i.e., one unassigned picker vehicle task corresponds to multiple pickers.
The embodiment of the invention also determines the claiming personnel of the non-allocated picking truck tasks by a one-to-many method from the angle of the picking trucks, and the embodiment of the invention is used as a supplement of the one-to-many method of the target picking personnel, so that the individual non-allocated picking truck tasks are claimed by the picking personnel at the highest speed.
