When the

terminal apparatuses

101, 102, 103 are software, they can be installed in the electronic apparatuses listed above. It may be implemented, for example, as multiple software or software modules to provide distributed services, or as a single software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.

The server 105 may be a server providing various services, such as a background processing server that acquires orders completed by users through the

terminal devices

101, 102, and 103, automatically combines the acquired orders into an order set, and automatically separates the picking task from the order set, thereby performing an ex-warehouse operation. As an example, the server 105 may be a cloud server.

The server may be hardware or software. When the server is hardware, it may be implemented as a distributed server cluster formed by multiple servers, or may be implemented as a single server. When the server is software, it may be implemented as multiple pieces of software or software modules (e.g., software or software modules used to provide distributed services), or as a single piece of software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.

It should be further noted that the ex-warehouse method provided by the embodiment of the present application may be executed by a server, may also be executed by a terminal device, and may also be executed by the server and the terminal device in cooperation with each other. Accordingly, each part (for example, each unit) included in the ex-warehouse device may be entirely provided in the server, may be entirely provided in the terminal device, and may be provided in the server and the terminal device, respectively.

It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers, as desired for implementation. When the electronic device on which the ex-warehouse method is operated does not need to perform data transmission with other electronic devices, the system architecture may only include the electronic device (e.g., a server or a terminal device) on which the ex-warehouse method is operated.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, a flow 200 of one embodiment of a method of ex-warehouse is shown, comprising the steps of:

step 201, combining the obtained multiple orders into at least one order set according to a preset combination rule.

In this embodiment, an executing entity (for example, the server in fig. 1) of the ex-warehouse method may obtain the order from a remote location or a local location through a wired network connection or a wireless network connection, so as to combine the obtained multiple orders into at least one order set according to a preset combination rule.

The preset combination rule is used for representing the limiting conditions followed in the combination process of the order set and can be flexibly set according to the actual application scene. Specifically, the execution main body may set a corresponding preset combination rule corresponding to each application scenario so as to be applicable to each application scenario.

As an example, the preset combination rule may include:

whether an item in an order is placed on line or not, and whether the placed order and the non-placed order form the same order set cannot be determined. The order of putting a line is an order for conveying articles through the conveying line, and is suitable for a warehouse with an automatic conveying line, and the order of not putting a line is an order for conveying articles through personnel.

Orders from different lots under the same SKU (Stock keeping Unit) cannot constitute the same order set.

Orders at different levels under the same SKU cannot be grouped into the same order set.

Orders placed under the same bar code and belonging to different owners cannot form the same order set.

Orders meeting different preset independent order combination requirements cannot form the same order set. The preset independent form combination requirements are suitable for orders which need to be independently combined to form an order set according to actual situations, corresponding independent templates can be set according to different preset independent form combination requirements, and the independent templates represent set parameters in the preset independent form combination requirements. As an example, a user may request delivery within a specified time when placing an order, and such an order may be considered to satisfy a preset independent order requirement that characterizes the delivery time.

Orders placed under different individualized production group numbers cannot form the same order set.

Whether independent production processes exist or not, orders of different production processes cannot form the same order set.

A label pick order cannot constitute the same set of orders as a non-label pick order. Wherein a label picking order is an order that identifies a particular need by a label.

Different serial numbers under the same SKU manage the required order label pick orders.

In this embodiment, the number of orders before the order sets are combined each time can be flexibly determined according to actual conditions. As an example, the operation of combining the set of orders may be performed in response to determining that the number of orders reaches a preset number threshold. As yet another example, orders within each preset time period may be combined into an order set in units of preset time periods.

Step 202, according to the picking mode, splitting each order set in at least one order set to obtain a plurality of picking tasks.

In this embodiment, the execution body may split each order set in at least one order set according to a picking manner to obtain a plurality of picking tasks.

In this embodiment, different picking modes generally correspond to different picking capacities, and therefore, the order set needs to be split according to the specific picking mode to obtain the corresponding picking task.

In some alternative implementations of the present embodiment, the picking mode includes at least one of:

and a picking mode based on information interaction between the paper document and a picking person. If the printing operation of the paper bill representing the picking task is carried out, the automatic picking is considered to be completed, and the detail of the picking task is recorded as a picking result.

The picking mode based on information interaction between the handheld device and the picking personnel. The execution body can support a picking task manually received by a picking person based on a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) device or automatically received by the picking person based on the PDA device.

In the automatic receiving process, the execution main body automatically distributes an optimal picking task for picking personnel according to the service identities of different services. Specifically, the execution main body determines the picking task according to a work area allocated by the picking personnel, a task type allocated by the picking personnel and a task label allocated by the picking personnel.

The work areas allocated by the picking personnel generally comprise different storage areas, when the picking personnel allocates the corresponding work areas, the picking operation is only allowed to be carried out in the current work areas by default, and the picking task can only be a task in the work area where the picking personnel is located. The work area may be selected for switching if the picker temporarily adjusts the work area.

The type of tasks assigned to the picker varies and the process performed thereafter varies. The task label refers to a specific identifier of a certain task, such as identification information of the destination of an order, the type of the order (including single, multiple), the type of the storage area (zero picking, box picking, storage), the type of picking, the flow direction of the order, and the like, and can be infinitely extended according to different business scenarios.

The picking mode of picking is carried out by the picking robot. The WMS system automatically sends the picking task to the picking robot, and the picking robot informs the WMS after the picking robot completes execution.

And step 203, carrying out warehouse-out operation according to the plurality of picking tasks.

In this embodiment, the execution body may perform the warehouse-out operation according to a plurality of picking tasks

As an example, the execution body may execute the picking tasks in a picking manner corresponding to each picking task one by one, obtain the items corresponding to each picking task, and perform operations of split-sorting, confluence, rechecking, shelving to a delivery area, and the like on the items obtained by each picking task to perform delivery.

In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the executing main body may execute the step 203 by:

first, for each of a plurality of picking tasks, the picking task is performed by a targeted picking regime.

The target picking mode represents the picking mode according to which the picking task is obtained by splitting.

Secondly, according to the preset dimensionality, the goods obtained by executing each goods picking task are distributed, and the distributed goods are delivered out of the warehouse.

In the implementation mode, the preset dimension can be specifically set according to the actual condition so as to realize quick ex-warehouse operation. As an example, the execution subject may sort the items obtained by executing each picking task based on the pre-divided area range to obtain orders in the same area range based on the area dimension of the ordering user corresponding to the order.

In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the preset dimension is a vehicle dispatch unit dimension, and the vehicle dispatch unit dimension is used for representing that orders in the same vehicle dispatch unit are dispatched by one transport vehicle. As an example, the executing agent may plan a delivery route of a transportation vehicle according to delivery information of a user to which the order belongs, and determine an order involved in the same delivery route as an order required to be delivered by the transportation vehicle.

Specifically, the executing body may execute the second step by:

firstly, according to the dimension of the dispatching order, performing separate distribution on the items obtained by executing each picking task to obtain an item set corresponding to each dispatching order; then, the articles in the article set corresponding to each delivery order are converged, rechecked and put on the shelf to a delivery area for delivery operation.

In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the execution subject may further perform a shipping operation on the delivery order of the collected items in response to determining that the delivery order of the collected items exists in the plurality of delivery orders.

As an example, the execution body compares the number of commodities collected according to the current need with the number of distributed commodities, and allows the delivery of the delivery order when the number of distributed commodities is equal to the total number of commodities required by the delivery order.

With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram 300 of an application scenario of the ex-warehouse method according to the present embodiment. In the application scenario of fig. 3, first, the server 301 obtains a plurality of orders, and combines the obtained orders into a plurality of order sets, including the order sets 302, 303, and 304, according to a preset combination rule. Then, for each order combination in the order sets 302, 303, 304, the order set is split according to the picking mode to obtain a plurality of picking tasks, wherein the order set 302 is split into a plurality of picking

tasks

3021, 3022, 3023, the order set 303 is split into a plurality of picking

tasks

3031, 3032, and the order set 304 is split into a plurality of picking

tasks

3041, 3042, 3043, 3044. Finally, the server 301 performs the delivery operation according to the plurality of picking tasks.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the obtained orders are combined into at least one order set according to the preset combination rule; splitting each order set in at least one order set according to a picking mode to obtain a plurality of picking tasks; according to the multiple picking tasks, the ex-warehouse operation is carried out, so that the ex-warehouse method based on automatic order collection and splitting picking tasks is provided, the dependence on the distribution experience of task distributors is avoided, and the ex-warehouse efficiency of articles is improved.

With continuing reference to FIG. 4, an exemplary flow 400 of one embodiment of a method of ex-warehouse according to the present application is shown, including the steps of:

step 401, combining the obtained multiple orders into at least one order set according to a preset combination rule.

Step 402, according to the picking mode, splitting each order set in at least one order set to obtain a plurality of picking tasks.

For each pick task of the plurality of pick tasks, the pick task is performed by a targeted pick regime, step 403.

And step 404, according to the dimension of the dispatching order, performing separate distribution on the items obtained by executing each picking task to obtain an item set corresponding to each dispatching order.

Wherein the dispatch order dimension is used to characterize orders in the same dispatch order for dispatch by a transport vehicle.

And 405, converging, rechecking and putting the goods in the goods set corresponding to each delivery order into a delivery area for delivery operation.

As can be seen from this embodiment, compared with the embodiment corresponding to fig. 2, the flow 400 of the ex-warehouse method in this embodiment specifically illustrates a process of performing distribution based on a dispatching single dimension, so as to further improve the efficiency of ex-warehouse operation.
