All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The terms "first", "second", and the like are used hereinafter only for descriptive distinction and not for other specific meanings.

In an embodiment, the WMS receives material request information sent by a producer through a terminal, analyzes the material request information according to the material request information, generates a material ex-warehouse message based on the material request information, and sends the material ex-warehouse message to the WCS, wherein the information carried by the material ex-warehouse message comprises ex-warehouse materials, destination places where the ex-warehouse materials need to be conveyed and the like. The material warehouse comprises an auxiliary material warehouse and the like, the ex-warehouse materials comprise tobacco production auxiliary materials and the like, and the tobacco production auxiliary materials comprise tobacco leaves, spices and the like.
And 102, the WCS receives the operation condition message sent by the logistics transportation equipment and acquires available logistics transportation equipment based on the operation state information.
In one embodiment, the logistics transport equipment includes conveyor systems, stackers, STVs, AGV carts, and the like. The logistics transportation equipment generates an operation state message according to the operation condition of the logistics transportation equipment and sends the operation state message to the WCS, wherein the operation state comprises a currently executed task, a cargo carrying state, normal operation, operation failure and the like. The WCS determines the available state (Q) of the logistics transportation equipment according to the operation condition message, and sets the Q value to be 0 or 1 according to the currently executed task, the loading state, the normal operation, the operation fault and the like of the logistics transportation equipment, wherein 1 represents that the logistics transportation equipment is available.
And 103, the WCS obtains the information of the materials to be transported of each station, and determines a target station corresponding to the materials to be delivered out of the warehouse based on the information of the materials to be transported and the running condition information.
In one embodiment, the material warehouse can be of a multilayer three-dimensional structure, and a shelf is arranged in each layer of the storeroom of the material warehouse and used for placing materials; a roadway is arranged between the goods shelves, and logistics transportation equipment such as a stacker and the like are arranged in the roadway.
One or more platforms are arranged in each layer of storeroom of the material storeroom and used for placing materials entering the storeroom or leaving the storeroom. And the WCS executes a preset balance scheduling strategy according to the information of the materials to be transported of the platform, and determines a target platform corresponding to the materials out of the warehouse. For example, when the number N of the materials to be transported at a station in a certain tunnel reaches a certain number, or the materials to be transported at the station do not change due to the fact that the logistics transportation equipment cannot normally operate at the certain station, the WCS automatically calls a balance scheduling strategy, sets or modifies a middle transition station, and controls the logistics transportation equipment to use another path to carry out material delivery.
And step 104, the WCS controls the available logistics transportation equipment to convey the warehouse-out materials to the target platform, and controls the available logistics transportation equipment to convey the warehouse-out materials from the target platform to the destination.
In one embodiment, determining the target station corresponding to the shipment may use a variety of methods. For example, the goods position information of the ex-warehouse materials in the material warehouse is obtained, and the initial platform corresponding to the out-warehouse materials is determined based on the goods position information; and determining at least one other platform to which the discharged materials can reach according to the operation condition information of the logistics transportation equipment, and determining a target platform based on the first to-be-transported material information of the initial platform and the second to-be-transported material information of the other platforms.

Determining the initial station as a target station if the difference value between the number of the first trays to be transported and the number of all the second trays to be transported is less than or equal to a preset tray number threshold value; determining the target station from the other stations if the difference between the first number of trays to be transported and the at least one second number of trays to be transported is greater than the tray number threshold.
For example, the WCS obtains the goods position information of the ex-warehouse auxiliary materials in the auxiliary material warehouse, and determines an initial platform corresponding to the ex-warehouse materials according to the goods position information based on the shortest transportation route rule. And the WCS acquires available logistics transportation equipment according to the operation condition information, and determines a plurality of other platforms which can be reached by the discharged materials based on the available logistics transportation equipment.
The WCS obtains the number of the first trays to be transported of the initial platform and the number of the second trays to be transported of each other platform. A tray number threshold may be set, for example, 5,6, etc., and if the difference between the number of trays to be transported and the number of trays to be transported is less than or equal to the preset tray number threshold, the initial station is determined as the target station;
and if the difference value between the number of the first trays to be transported and the number of the at least one second tray to be transported is larger than the threshold value of the number of the trays, acquiring the maximum difference value between the number of the first trays to be transported and the number of all the second trays to be transported, and determining other stations corresponding to the maximum difference value as target stations.
