Description

Goods picking frequency planning method based on package clustering and storage position recommendation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of warehouse picking, and particularly relates to a picking order planning method based on package clustering and storage position recommendation.
Background
A large amount of order information flows in real time in the storage of an e-commerce, a warehouse system picks goods according to inventory information and order requirements, a large amount of goods are stored in an e-commerce warehouse, the order is relatively small, single picking orders are very difficult, the e-commerce adopts wave-division aggregation for the current situation, a wave-order goods is distributed in each area of the warehouse, each area forms a task, picking workers in the area are responsible for picking the goods corresponding to the task, the goods picked in different areas are finally combined together and sorted into a single wave-order goods set, the single wave-order goods are finally divided into one package, finally the packing veneering sheets finally flow into a client hand through a logistics means, the picking is the most costly work in the storage logistics in all storage links, the personnel related to the picking accounts for 50% of the whole storage center, the efficiency of the whole warehouse logistics can be greatly improved by reasonably optimizing the picking tasks. Currently, the upstream wave-splitting and the downstream sorting are mostly processed separately, most of the wave-splitting process accumulates orders with a certain total amount or orders in a time window to form a wave, the downstream sorting directly traverses each area to inquire the maximum quantity of commodities required by the area to bear the wave and then allocates the commodities until all the commodity demands in the wave are allocated;
in order to fully utilize the area of the warehouse, a plurality of E-commerce warehouses begin to use random warehouse positions instead of the prior designated warehouse positions, the existing wave-dividing mode only purely accumulates orders and does not consider clustering similar orders, the current random warehouse can enable the sorting of single commodities to have a plurality of choices, the current sorting does not utilize the selectivity, if the two characteristics are fully utilized, the wave-dividing and the goods position assignment are simultaneously carried out on the orders, the workload of goods sorting can be greatly reduced, because the goods-sorting route in the current E-commerce warehouse mostly adopts an s-shaped walking route, the walking distance of the goods-sorting personnel can be disassembled into the longitudinal walking distance of the lane and the transverse walking distance of the lane, because a single sorting task is already disassembled into a single small area, the longitudinal walking distance is not concerned any more, only the transverse walking distance is concentrated on the lane length, since the length of the roadway is a fixed value, the purpose of optimizing the walking distance of picking is achieved by directly optimizing the number of the roadways through which all goods are picked, obviously, the problem that the distance of the walking required by picking is reduced because the number of the roadways through which all goods are picked is the minimum is not solved in the existing scheme, and a new planning method needs to be developed to solve the existing technical scheme.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention provides a picking wave number planning method based on package clustering and storage position recommendation, which is applied to an e-commerce warehouse using random storage positions, the package clustering is firstly carried out, then the picking wave number planning method based on the storage position recommendation is carried out, the package clustering comprises two cycles, the next-level cycle searches K package adding waves, and the last-level cycle searches a plurality of K package adding waves until the wave number requirements are met; the package clustering wave order method comprises the following steps:
step 1: randomly extracting a parcel from a parcel pool, and initializing the times;
and 2, step: initializing candidate packages, adding K packages, and calculating concentration; the value of K is larger, the calculation speed of the package clustering is higher, but the clustering effect is poorer; in the step 2, the method for calculating the concentration of the partial wave comprises the following steps: calculating the probability of each commodity passing through each possible tunnel, summing the probability values of each tunnel, summing the probability values, and dividing the sum by the number of the commodities; the method comprises the following specific steps: step 21. the weight of aisle _ set where each sku of the package may appear is z [ sku, aisle ] =1/len (aisle _ set); the weight wrapped in each lane is w [ aisle ] = sum (z [ sku, aisle ] for aisle _ set _ all for skin in package); the similarity between the first and second parcels is sum (min (w1[ aille ], w2[ aille ]) for ai in ai _ set)/(sum (w1) + sum (w2) -sum (min (w1[ aille ], w2[ aille ]) for ai in ai _ set));
wherein, sku is a commodity number, and package is a package set;
when sku has a value of 1 in lane aisle, z sku, aisle, otherwise 0;
aisle _ set _ all is the set of all lanes;
w [ aisle ] is the weight of the roadway aisle in each parcel, and in this embodiment, w1[ aisle ] and w2[ aisle ] are the weights of the roadway aisles of two parcels respectively
Step 22, selecting seed packages, wherein the packages covering the roadway most or the packages covering sku most are selected, calculating the similarity between other packages and the seed packages, sequencing and adding the packages into the wave times in sequence until the constraints are violated, and then reselecting the seed packages to continue to execute the step 2;
and 3, step 3: searching K candidate parcel fusion times: trying to add another group of K packages, calculating the concentration again, if the concentration calculated again is higher than that of the current candidate package, replacing the candidate package, reserving the K packages added with the other group as the candidate package, meanwhile, putting the previous K candidate packages into an echo secondary pool, and no longer adding the candidate package returning to the echo secondary pool in the round, and if the concentration is not higher than that of the current candidate package, reserving the current candidate package;
and 4, step 4: if the parcels are left, returning to the step 3, and if no parcels are left, outputting the waves;
the wave frequency output step comprises the following steps:
step 41: merging candidate parcel confirmations in the wave order into the wave order;
step 42: resetting the parcel pool, and removing candidate parcels which are formally merged into the wave times in the parcel pool;
step 43: if the number of the packages which are not packaged in the package pool for the rest or the times reaches the upper limit, the next step is carried out; if the parcel pool has the surplus parcels and the number of parcels in the wave number does not reach the upper limit, returning to the step 3;
step 44: outputting the wave times;
by accumulating a batch of orders, the system needs to sort all orders and assign goods of all times to stock for picking, so that the number of roadways needed by picking all the goods is the minimum, and the distance needed by picking is reduced;
in this embodiment, commodities stored in a warehouse

Set of lanes
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE038
Since the warehouse will have its own operation strategy such as clearing up the commodities with higher warehouse age, all the inventory commodities have their own priorities
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE039
For the stock with higher priority, the warehouse can be taken out of the warehouse preferentially, and when the warehouse is divided, the same order or package needs to be packaged for facilitating the subsequent sub-packaging
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE040
The commodities are divided into the same wave number;
therefore, the model needs to satisfy the requirement that once the package is taken, all the goods in the package need to be covered by the wave and the required quantity needs to be taken.

Figure 907238DEST_PATH_IMAGE020
Because the problem scale cannot be directly solved, the original wave division and stock location assignment are divided into two stages during solving, and the two stages are respectively solved;
the main role of the wave splitting is to assign the package to the wave times, assuming that package b has 3 items (s1, s2, s3), and the possible lanes of s1 are (t1, t2, t3), then s1 has probability (1/3, 1/3, 1/3) of selecting lanes (t1, t2, t3) (average probability), and similarly, the probability (t 3, t 4) of s2 (1/2 ) and the probability (t 4, t 5) of s3 are (1/2 ), and the lane probabilities of multiple items are summed to obtain the probability that package p selects each lane: (t1, t2, t3, t4, t 5) is (1/3, 1/3, 1/3+1/2, 1/2+1/2, 1/2), and the maximum probability of each lane being selected is 1. Randomly selecting a parcel p as a seed parcel, adding the seed parcel into the wave times, and assuming that the roadway probability is (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.9) and the total required quantity is 5, the initial roadway selection probability of the wave times is (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.9) and the commodity quantity of the wave times is 5. There is a new parcel P2 with a lane probability of (0.4, 0.1, 0.8, 0.4, 1) and a total demand of 10. Adding the new parcel P2 into the wave times, wherein the concentration calculation formula of the wave times is as follows: molecule = max (lane probability of the wave order, lane probability of the new parcel P2) = (max (0.1, 0.4), max (0.2, 0.1), max (0.3, 0.8), max (0.5, 0.4), max (0.9, 1)) = (0.4, 0.2, 0.8, 0.5, 1). Numerator = sum of probabilities of respective lanes of numerator = 0.4 + 0.2 + 0.8 + 0.5 +1 = 2.9, denominator = number of commodity of wave + number of commodity of new parcel P2 = 5 + 10 = 15, concentration = numerator/denominator = 2.9/15 = 0.192, traverse all parcels, select one parcel with the highest concentration to be added to wave, assuming that parcel P2 is added to wave, then updated lane probability of wave = (0.4, 0.2, 0.8, 0.5, 1), commodity number 15, repeat the above process until the wave-splitting condition is satisfied, generally the parcel number reaches the upper limit of wave-time constraint, this method and jaccard clustering are named jaccard-variant in the coverage-like problem;
the main function of the stock space recommendation is to assign the stock space to all the commodities in one wave, so that the number of lanes for picking up all the commodities is the minimum, and because the packages are assigned to the wave when the waves are separated, the model does not pay attention to the package dimension any more, and the priority can be processed in the model through pretreatment, such as that the required quantity of s1 in the wave is 10, 5 with the priority of 9, 4 with the priority of 8 and 6 with the priority of 7. Then the preprocessing would take priority to all the s1 inventory with priority 8 and priority 9, then the lanes where the inventory with priority 8 and priority 9 would be are the lanes that must pass through, only the inventory with priority 7 would need the model to decide which lane to take one,

in this embodiment, the random storage location refers to the location of each item assigned to be stored, which is generated through a random process and is changed frequently, that is, any item can be stored in any available location, if the computer can be used to assist the memory management of random storage, and the location of each item in the storage is recorded by the computer, the computer can be used to allocate the location space for stocking;
in this embodiment, the designated storage space means that each storage object has its fixed storage space, and the storage spaces cannot be used in a mixed manner, so that the storage space capacity of each storage object should not be smaller than the possible storage space capacity.
Finally, it should be noted that: although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the embodiments or portions thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

step 1: randomly extracting a parcel from a parcel pool, and initializing the times;
step 2: initializing candidate parcels, adding K parcels, and calculating the concentration of the partial wave;
and step 3: searching K candidate packages for fusion times: adding another group of K packages, calculating the concentration of the partial wave again, if the concentration of the partial wave calculated again is greater than that of the current candidate package, replacing the candidate package, reserving the added K packages as the candidate packages, meanwhile, placing the previous K candidate packages in an echo secondary pool, and adding no candidate package returning to the echo secondary pool in the round; if the recalculated concentration value of the partial wave is smaller than the concentration value of the partial wave of the current candidate package, reserving the current candidate package, wherein K is a positive integer;
and 4, step 4: if the packages are left, returning to the step 3, and if the packages are not left, outputting the wave times; the steps of wave frequency output are as follows:
step 41: confirming the fusion wave times of the candidate parcels in the wave times;
step 42: resetting the parcel pool, and removing candidate parcels which are formally merged into the wave times in the parcel pool;
step 43: if the parcel pool has no remaining parcels or the number of parcels in the wave times reaches the upper limit, outputting the wave times in the next step; if the parcel pool has the remaining parcels and the number of parcels in the wave number does not reach the upper limit, returning to the step 3;
