For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for controlling the picking of the carrying device disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail first.
Example one
The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for controlling a carrying device to take goods, which can be applied to a scene of goods delivery from a vertical warehouse, wherein the vertical warehouse is provided with at least one goods delivery port, and by the method for controlling the carrying device to take goods provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the carrying device in an idle state at present can be controlled to move to the goods delivery port to queue for each goods delivery port of the vertical warehouse before the goods delivery from the vertical warehouse, wherein the number of the carrying devices corresponding to each goods delivery port is a preset target number, so that after the goods delivery from the vertical warehouse, the carrying device can timely carry goods containers for storing the goods to a target workstation, the goods containers are prevented from being stacked at the goods delivery ports, and the task processing efficiency of the target workstation is improved.
In specific implementation, the cargo container can be a material box, and the corresponding carrying equipment can be a carrying robot; the goods container can also be a tray, and the corresponding carrying equipment can be an unmanned forklift. For example, before the goods are delivered from the vertical warehouse, the carrying robot is controlled to queue at least one delivery port included in the vertical warehouse, and after the goods are delivered from each delivery port of the vertical warehouse, the carrying robot can timely carry the material box to the target workstation.
In specific implementation, the carrying equipment can be allocated to each shipment port according to the corresponding priority of each shipment port or/and the number of the carrying equipment in the vertical warehouse. Taking the example of allocating the carrying equipment to each shipment port according to the priority level and the number of the carrying equipment corresponding to each shipment port in the vertical warehouse as an example for explanation, if the number of the shipment ports corresponding to the vertical warehouse is 3, the first shipment port, the second shipment port and the third shipment port are included, and if the priority level corresponding to the first shipment port is one, the number of the corresponding carrying equipment is 2; the priority corresponding to the second goods outlet is two, and the number of the corresponding carrying equipment is 2; the priority corresponding to the third goods outlet is three, the number of the corresponding carrying devices is 1, and the preset target number is 3; analysis shows that the priority corresponding to the first outlet is higher than that of the second outlet, the priority corresponding to the second outlet is higher than that of the third outlet, and the number of the handling devices corresponding to the third outlet is the minimum, so that the handling devices can be allocated to the third outlet first, the handling devices currently in an idle state are controlled to move to the third outlet, and then the handling devices are allocated to each outlet in sequence according to the priority corresponding to each outlet, namely the handling devices are allocated to the first outlet, then the handling devices are allocated to the second outlet, and finally the handling devices are allocated to the third outlet until the number of the handling devices corresponding to each outlet is 3.
In specific implementation, a time period for executing the method for controlling the transportation device to pick up the goods provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be determined according to a shipment time period corresponding to the standing library, for example, if the shipment time period of the standing library per day is from 8. Alternatively, the method of controlling the transport apparatus to pick up the product may be executed when an execution request is received, and the method of controlling the transport apparatus to pick up the product may be stopped when a stop request is received, wherein a controller may be provided at the parking position, and the execution request and the stop request may be transmitted to a server that executes the method through the controller.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a method for controlling a handling apparatus to pick up goods according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, where the method may be applied to a server, and the method includes steps S101 to S103, where:
s101, acquiring the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking goods at each goods outlet of at least one goods outlet of the vertical warehouse, wherein the carrying equipment is used for carrying the goods containers sent from the corresponding goods outlet.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the current number of the handling devices waiting for picking up goods at each goods outlet of at least one goods outlet of the standing warehouse can be obtained before the first goods outlet of the standing warehouse every day; the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking goods at each goods outlet of the at least one goods outlet of the vertical warehouse can be obtained in real time in the goods outlet time period of the vertical warehouse.
For example, if the time period for the delivery from the stand is 8 to 18, the current number of the handling apparatuses waiting for the delivery at each delivery outlet of the at least one delivery outlet of the stand may be acquired before the delivery from the stand, that is, before 8; or, within the time period from 8; or after the vertical warehouse receives the shipment instruction for the first time in the same day, the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking the shipment at each shipment outlet of the at least one shipment outlet of the vertical warehouse is obtained before the vertical warehouse takes the shipment based on the shipment instruction.
In one possible embodiment, obtaining a current number of handling devices waiting to be picked at each of at least one of the outlets of the vertical includes:
determining the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for goods taking at each delivery port according to the carrying equipment scheduling record aiming at each delivery port; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
and acquiring the monitoring video sent by the monitoring equipment arranged at each delivery port, and determining the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for delivery at the delivery port based on the monitoring video.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transportation device scheduling record of the shipment port includes the number of times of the transportation device allocated by the server for the shipment port and the number of times of the transportation device leaving the shipment port. Specifically, the server may determine the current number of the transporting devices waiting for picking up at the shipment port according to the transporting device scheduling record of each shipment port, that is, the server determines the current number of the transporting devices waiting for picking up corresponding to the shipment port according to the number of times of the transporting devices allocated to the shipment port and the number of times of the transporting devices leaving the shipment port.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each monitoring device is connected to the server, and the monitoring device may be a device capable of acquiring an image, for example, a video camera, a pan-tilt, a camera, and the like. Illustratively, the monitoring device a corresponding to the shipment port a sends the acquired image of the shipment port a to the server, and the server determines the current number of the transporting devices waiting for taking the shipment at the shipment port a based on the received image.
S102, determining whether the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods needs to be distributed to the shipment port or not according to the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods at each shipment port and the target number of the carrying equipment set for the shipment port.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the current number of the carrying devices waiting for taking goods at each goods outlet is less than the target number of the carrying devices arranged for the goods outlet, the carrying devices waiting for taking goods are allocated for the goods outlet; and when the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods at each goods outlet is equal to the target number of the carrying equipment set for the goods outlet, stopping distributing the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods for the goods outlet.
In one possible embodiment, the target number corresponding to each shipment port is determined based on one or more of the following information:
the corresponding delivery speed of each delivery port;
the carrying time from each goods outlet to the delivery destination corresponding to the goods outlet;
the longest time for the carrying equipment to reach the goods outlet;
the cargo handling priority of each shipment port;
and the total scheduling number of the handling equipment corresponding to the vertical warehouse.
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the information for determining the number of targets corresponding to each shipment port may further include: the area of the corresponding region of each goods outlet, or the total area of the corresponding warehouse, etc. The target number of each goods outlet corresponding to the vertical warehouse can be the same or different. For example, if the number of the outlets corresponding to the warehouse is 3, that is, the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet, the target numbers of the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet may all be set to 5, or the target number of the first outlet may be determined to be 5, the target number of the second outlet may be determined to be 3, and the target number of the third outlet may be determined to be 6.
For example, the number of objects corresponding to each shipment port is the same, and in a specific implementation, one kind of information may be selected to determine the number of objects corresponding to each shipment port. For example, the target quantity corresponding to each shipment port may be determined only according to the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port. For example, if the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port is fast, the target number corresponding to each shipment port may be set to be large, for example, 5, and if the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port is slow, the target number corresponding to each shipment port may be set to be small, for example, 3.
The same number of objects corresponding to each shipment port is taken as an example for explanation, and in specific implementation, various kinds of information can be selected to determine the number of objects corresponding to each shipment port. For example, the target quantity corresponding to each shipment port may be determined according to the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port and the transportation time length from each shipment port to the delivery destination corresponding to the shipment port. For example, if the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port is fast, and the transportation time from each shipment port to the shipment destination corresponding to the shipment port is long, the target number corresponding to each shipment port may be set to be larger, for example, 10; if the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port is fast and the carrying time from each shipment port to the delivery destination corresponding to the shipment port is short, the target number corresponding to each shipment port may be set to be small, for example, 8; if the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port is slow and the carrying time from each shipment port to the delivery destination corresponding to the shipment port is long, the target number corresponding to each shipment port may be set to be small, for example, 7; if the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port is slow and the transportation time from each shipment port to the delivery destination corresponding to the shipment port is short, the target number corresponding to each shipment port may be set to be small, for example, 5.
In a specific implementation, if the information for determining the number of the objects corresponding to each shipment port is plural, a weight may be set for each information, and the number of the objects corresponding to each shipment port may be determined based on the weight of each information. For example, the information for determining the number of targets corresponding to each shipment port includes: the delivery speed corresponding to each delivery port, the carrying time from each delivery port to the delivery destination corresponding to the delivery port, and the longest time for the carrying equipment to reach the delivery port; the weight of the shipment speed corresponding to each shipment port may be set to 0.5, the weight of the carrying time period from each shipment port to the delivery destination corresponding to the shipment port may be set to 0.3, and the weight of the maximum time period for the carrying apparatus to reach the shipment port may be set to 0.2. The above method for setting the weight for each piece of information is only an exemplary illustration. In specific implementation, the method for determining the target number corresponding to each shipment outlet based on the selected multiple pieces of information may be determined according to actual situations, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
In specific implementation, the information for determining the number of the objects corresponding to each shipment port and the number of the objects corresponding to each shipment port may be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the disclosure is only an exemplary illustration and is not limited to this.
In one possible embodiment, determining whether the transporting equipment waiting for picking needs to be allocated to each outlet according to the current number of the transporting equipment waiting for picking at each outlet and the target number of the transporting equipment set for the outlet includes:
and if the current quantity is less than the target quantity, determining that the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods needs to be distributed to the goods outlet.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, for each shipment port corresponding to the vertical warehouse, whether to allocate a carrying device waiting for taking the goods to the shipment port may be determined according to the current number and the target number of the carrying devices. In specific implementation, the handling equipment can be allocated to the shipment ports according to the current number or/and the target number corresponding to each shipment port.
For example, the process of allocating a handling device waiting for taking goods to each shipment port may be: and preferentially distributing the carrying equipment for the shipment port with the smallest number until the number of the carrying equipment corresponding to the shipment port is equal to the target number, and then distributing the carrying equipment for the shipment port with the second smallest number until the number of the carrying equipment corresponding to each shipment port is equal to the target number. Alternatively, the process of allocating the handling equipment waiting for picking up goods to each goods outlet may also be as follows: if the current number corresponding to the goods outlet is different, the carrying equipment is preferentially distributed to the goods outlet with the least current number, if the current number corresponding to the goods outlet is the same, the carrying equipment can be randomly distributed to the goods outlet until the number of the carrying equipment corresponding to each goods outlet is equal to the target number.
For example, if the number of the outlets corresponding to the vertical warehouse is 3, that is, the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet, the target number of the handling devices corresponding to each outlet is determined to be 5, the current number of the handling devices corresponding to the first outlet is 2, the current number of the handling devices corresponding to the second outlet is 3, and the current number of the handling devices corresponding to the third outlet is 4. The process of allocating a handling device waiting for picking up goods to each shipment port may be: and allocating the carrying equipment for the first shipment port until the number of the carrying equipment at the first shipment port is the target number, namely, until the number of the carrying equipment at the first shipment port is 5, then allocating the carrying equipment for the second shipment port until the number of the carrying equipment at the second shipment port is 5, and finally allocating the carrying equipment for the third shipment port until the number of the carrying equipment at the third shipment port is 5.

and determining whether the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods needs to be distributed to the shipment port or not according to the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking the goods at each shipment port, the target number of the carrying equipment set for the shipment port and the goods carrying priority corresponding to each shipment port.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cargo handling priority corresponding to each shipment port may be determined based on the urgency of the cargo sent by each shipment port, for example, if the cargo corresponding to the first shipment port is an emergency cargo, the cargo handling priority corresponding to the first shipment port is the first; if the goods corresponding to the second goods outlet are urgent goods, the goods handling priority corresponding to the second goods outlet is the second; and if the goods corresponding to the third goods outlet are the common goods, the goods carrying priority corresponding to the third goods outlet is the third.
In one possible embodiment, determining whether the transporting device waiting for picking up needs to be allocated to each shipment port according to the current number of the transporting devices waiting for picking up at each shipment port, the target number of the transporting devices set for the shipment port, and the cargo transporting priority corresponding to each shipment port includes:
and for each goods outlet, if the current quantity corresponding to the goods outlet is less than the target quantity and other goods outlets with higher goods carrying priority than the goods outlet do not exist, determining that the carrying equipment in the idle state at present needs to be distributed to the goods outlet to wait for goods taking.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the carrying equipment can be allocated to each shipment port according to the cargo carrying priority corresponding to each shipment port. Illustratively, the process of allocating a handling device waiting for picking to each shipment outlet may be: and preferentially distributing the conveying equipment for the outlet with the highest cargo conveying priority until the number of the conveying equipment corresponding to the outlet is equal to the target number, and then distributing the conveying equipment for the outlet with the second highest cargo conveying priority until the number of the conveying equipment corresponding to each outlet is equal to the target number.
For example, if the number of the outlets corresponding to the warehouse is 3, that is, the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet, the target number of the handling equipment corresponding to each outlet is determined to be 5, the current number of the handling equipment corresponding to the first outlet is 2, the current number of the handling equipment corresponding to the second outlet is 3, and the current number of the handling equipment corresponding to the third outlet is 4, where the priority of the first outlet for carrying the cargo is first, the priority of the second outlet for carrying the cargo is third, the priority of the third outlet for carrying the cargo is second, the priority of the first outlet for carrying the cargo is higher than that of the third outlet, and the priority of the third outlet for carrying the cargo is higher than that of the second outlet. The process of allocating a handling device waiting for picking up goods to each shipment port may be: for each goods outlet, the target quantity of the carrying equipment corresponding to the first goods outlet is smaller than the target quantity, and the goods carrying priority of the first goods outlet is highest, namely, other goods outlets with the corresponding goods carrying priority higher than that of the first goods outlet do not exist, so that the carrying equipment is preferentially distributed for the first goods outlet until the current quantity corresponding to the first goods outlet is equal to the target quantity. And then distributing the carrying equipment for the third goods outlet until the current number corresponding to the third goods outlet is equal to the target number. And finally, distributing the carrying equipment for the second goods outlet until the current number corresponding to the second goods outlet is equal to the target number.
In a possible implementation, referring to a flowchart of a specific method for determining a need to allocate, to a shipment port, a carrier waiting for pickup to a shipment port in a method for controlling pickup of a carrier shown in fig. 2, specifically, determining whether a carrier waiting for pickup needs to be allocated to the shipment port according to a current number of carriers waiting for pickup at each shipment port, a target number of carriers set for the shipment port, and a cargo handling priority corresponding to each shipment port, includes:
s201, acquiring corresponding target outlets with the current quantity smaller than the target quantity;
s202, determining whether the conveying equipment in the idle state needs to be allocated to the target shipment port to wait for taking the goods according to the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to each target shipment port to the target quantity and the cargo conveying priority corresponding to each target shipment port.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to each target shipment port to the target quantity is different, it may be determined whether the handling device currently in the idle state needs to be allocated to the shipment port to wait for taking the shipment according to the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to each target shipment port to the target quantity.
For example, if the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the target shipment port to the target quantity is minimum, it is determined that the handling equipment in the idle state needs to be allocated to the target shipment port to wait for pickup; and if the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the target shipment port to the target quantity is not the minimum value, determining that the carrying equipment in the idle state is not required to be allocated to the target shipment port to wait for taking the goods. After the carrying equipment is allocated to the target goods outlets, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to each target goods outlet to the target quantity is determined again, and the step of obtaining each target goods outlet with the corresponding current quantity smaller than the target quantity is repeated until the current quantity of the carrying equipment corresponding to each target goods outlet is equal to the target quantity.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to each target shipment port to the target quantity is the same, it may be determined whether the transportation device currently in the idle state needs to be allocated to the shipment port to wait for the pickup according to the cargo transportation priority corresponding to each target shipment port.
For example, if the ratio of the current quantity to the target quantity corresponding to the first target shipment port is the same as the ratio of the current quantity to the target quantity corresponding to the second target shipment port, and the ratio of the current quantity to the target quantity corresponding to the first target shipment port and the second shipment port is the minimum, it is determined whether the transportation device currently in the idle state needs to be allocated to the shipment port to wait for picking up goods according to the cargo transportation priority corresponding to the first target shipment port and the second target shipment port. If the cargo carrying priority of the first target shipment port is higher than that of the second target shipment port, determining that carrying equipment in an idle state at present needs to be allocated to the target shipment port to wait for goods taking aiming at the first target shipment port; and aiming at the second target delivery port, determining that the carrying equipment which is in the idle state at present does not need to be allocated to the target delivery port to wait for taking the goods.
For example, if the number of the outlets corresponding to the vertical warehouse is 3, that is, the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet, the current number of the handling devices corresponding to each outlet is 2, the target number corresponding to the handling device of the first outlet is determined to be 4, the target number corresponding to the handling device of the second outlet is determined to be 5, and the target number corresponding to the handling device of the third outlet is determined to be 6, it can be known that the current numbers corresponding to the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet are all smaller than the target number, and therefore the first outlet, the second outlet, and the third outlet are all target outlets; the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the first goods outlet to the target quantity is 1/2, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the second goods outlet to the target quantity is 2/5, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the third goods outlet to the target quantity is 1/3, namely the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the first goods outlet to the target quantity is larger than that of the second goods outlet, and the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the second goods outlet to the target quantity is larger than that of the third goods outlet, aiming at the first goods outlet, it is determined that the carrying equipment in an idle state at present does not need to be distributed to the target goods outlet to wait for goods taking; aiming at the second delivery port, determining that the carrying equipment which is in the idle state at present does not need to be distributed to the target delivery port to wait for taking the goods; and determining that the carrying equipment in the idle state at present needs to be allocated to the target delivery port to wait for taking the goods for the third delivery port.
Continuing to explain the above embodiment, after the third shipment port is allocated with the handling device, the target shipment port is re-determined, and it can be known through analysis that the target shipment port is the first shipment port, the second shipment port, and the third shipment port, at this time, the ratio 1/2 of the current quantity corresponding to the first shipment port to the target quantity, the ratio 2/5 of the current quantity corresponding to the second shipment port to the target quantity, and the ratio 1/2 of the current quantity corresponding to the third shipment port to the target quantity, it is determined that the handling device currently in an idle state needs to be allocated to the second shipment port to wait for shipment.
After the carrying equipment is allocated to the second shipment port, the target shipment port is re-determined, and analysis shows that the target shipment ports are the first shipment port, the second shipment port, and the third shipment port, at this time, the ratio 1/2 of the current quantity corresponding to the first shipment port to the target quantity, the ratio 3/5 of the current quantity corresponding to the second shipment port to the target quantity, and the ratio 1/2 of the current quantity corresponding to the third shipment port to the target quantity, at this time, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the first shipment port and the third shipment port to the target quantity is the same, and if the carrying priority of the goods corresponding to the first shipment port is higher than that of the third shipment port, it is determined that the carrying equipment currently in an idle state needs to be allocated to the first shipment port to wait for taking the goods.
And repeating the step of obtaining the corresponding target outlets with the current quantity smaller than the target quantity until the current quantity corresponding to each outlet is equal to the target quantity.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the grade corresponding to the target shipment port may also be determined according to the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the target shipment port to the target quantity, and whether the transportation device currently in an idle state needs to be allocated to the target shipment port to wait for pickup is determined according to the grade corresponding to each target shipment port and the cargo transportation priority corresponding to each target shipment port. Wherein, the grade corresponding to the target shipment port can be determined based on the preset ratio range. For example, the ratio of 0-1/3 is determined as a first grade (including 1/3), the ratio of 1/3-2/3 is determined as a second grade (excluding 1/3, including 2/3), the ratio of 2/3-1 (excluding 2/3 and 1) is determined as a third grade, and if the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the target outlet a to the target quantity is 1/4, the grade corresponding to the target outlet is the first grade. The grade division corresponding to the target shipment port can be set according to actual conditions, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
For example, if the number of the outlets corresponding to the vertical warehouse is 3, that is, the current number of the handling devices corresponding to each outlet is 2, the target number corresponding to the handling device of the first outlet is determined to be 4, the target number corresponding to the handling device of the second outlet is determined to be 5, and the target number corresponding to the handling device of the third outlet is determined to be 6. If the ratio of 0 to 1/3 is determined as the first rank (including 1/3), the ratio of 1/3 to 2/3 is determined as the second rank (excluding 1/3, including 2/3), and the ratio of 2/3 to 1 (excluding 2/3 and 1) is determined as the third rank. The current quantity corresponding to the first goods outlet, the second goods outlet and the third goods outlet is smaller than the target quantity, so that the first goods outlet, the second goods outlet and the third goods outlet are all target goods outlets; the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the first goods outlet to the target quantity is 1/2, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the second goods outlet to the target quantity is 2/5, and the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the third goods outlet to the target quantity is 1/3. And analysis shows that the first goods outlet belongs to the second grade, the second goods outlet belongs to the second grade, and the third goods outlet belongs to the first grade, and then the carrying equipment which is in the idle state at present is determined to be allocated to the third goods outlet to wait for goods taking.
Continuing to explain the above embodiment, after the third shipment port is allocated with the handling device, the target shipment port is determined again, and the analysis shows that the target shipment port is the first shipment port, the second shipment port, and the third shipment port, and at this time, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the first shipment port to the target quantity is 1/2, the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the second shipment port to the target quantity is 2/5, and the ratio of the current quantity corresponding to the third shipment port to the target quantity is 1/2. The analysis shows that the first goods outlet, the second goods outlet and the third goods outlet all belong to the second grade, so that the target goods outlets of the distribution and transportation equipment can be determined according to the goods transportation priority corresponding to each target goods outlet. And if the cargo carrying priority corresponding to the first goods outlet is first, the cargo carrying priority corresponding to the second goods outlet is third, and the cargo carrying priority corresponding to the third goods outlet is second, namely the cargo carrying priority corresponding to the first goods outlet is higher than that of the third goods outlet, and the cargo carrying priority corresponding to the third goods outlet is higher than that of the second goods outlet, determining that the carrying equipment in the idle state at present needs to be allocated to the first goods outlet to wait for goods taking.
And repeating the step of obtaining the corresponding target shipment outlets with the current quantity smaller than the target quantity until the current quantity corresponding to each shipment outlet is equal to the target quantity.

For example, if each target shipment port includes target shipment port a and target shipment port B. And for the target shipment port A, if the carrying equipment in the idle state at present is not required to be allocated to the target shipment port A to wait for taking the goods, determining whether the carrying equipment in the idle state at present is required to be allocated to the target shipment port B to wait for taking the goods.
In one possible embodiment, before obtaining the current number of the handling apparatuses waiting for picking at each of the at least one shipment port of the vertical warehouse, the method further includes:
and S104, detecting that the idle conveying equipment exists currently.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that there is currently an idle transportation device, the current number of the transportation devices waiting for picking at each of the at least one shipment port of the vertical warehouse is obtained. And if detecting that no idle carrying equipment exists currently, not acquiring the current number of the carrying equipment waiting for taking goods at each goods outlet of at least one goods outlet of the vertical warehouse.
