Background
In the multi-order combination ordering scenario, the grid station is a transfer station connecting the central warehouse and the "order group initiator" (cargo delivery point). Typically, the grid stations are responsible for all orders placed by the order originator within a predetermined range (e.g., a grid range) on the map. The items are sorted and packaged at the grid stations and then distributed by the affiliates to the form originator.
In the prior art, the most common distribution scheme for grid stations is group-by-group distribution, i.e. all items of each group are randomly placed in a distribution grid, wherein the size of each distribution grid is the same.

First embodiment
Fig. 2 is a main flow chart of an item distribution method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the item distribution method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:
step S201: the distribution type of all items in the same processing wave is determined.
Wherein the distribution types include a first distribution type and a second distribution type. The first and second types of distribution are two different types of distribution. Wherein the first type of item may also be referred to as a "seeding" item and the second type of item may also be referred to as a "straight-collar" item.
The treatment wave number may also be referred to as a wave number or a production wave number. Typically, sorting is performed in units of a batch that aggregates multiple orders, and the batch of this operation is commonly referred to in the industry as a pass. For example, in a multi-order combination ordering scenario, such as a community group purchase scenario, all items in the group order generated on the same day may be treated as one processing wave. The group order is composed of user orders corresponding to the same group of order initiating terminals (group leader, i.e. the same distribution point), for example, the group order a includes user order 1, user order 2 and user order 3 corresponding to the same group leader; the group b includes user orders 4, 5, 6, and 7 corresponding to the same group leader. Besides the community group purchase scene, the article separate-broadcasting method provided by the embodiment of the invention can also be applied to the order placing scene of multi-order combination such as order combination or sharing group order. Since the main processes of the item distribution method are basically the same in different scenes, the following embodiment mainly describes the item distribution method in a community group purchase scene in detail, and in this scene, the group order is the group order initiated by the group leader.
In an alternative implementation, a "distribution type" field and a corresponding field value are set in the item information table for each item. Further, in step S201, for each item in the same processing pass, the distribution type of the item can be determined by referring to the item information table.
In another alternative embodiment, all the item information of the first sort type is stored in the seeded item information table in advance, and all the item information of the second sort type is stored in the direct item information table. Further, in step S201, for each item in the same processing pass, the sort type thereof may be determined according to whether it is stored in the seeding item information table or the direct item information table. Specifically, when an item is stored in the seeding item information table, it is determined to be of a first seeding type; when the item is stored in the direct item information table, it is determined to be of the second distribution type.
Step S202: and for the item with the first distribution type, generating a first type distribution task based on the item information in the same group of sheets, and binding the first type distribution task with the grid of the first distribution type.
Wherein the items of the first type of distribution correspond to a distribution task of the first type (which may also be referred to as a "seeding" task), and a cell of the first type of distribution (which may also be referred to as a "seeding" cell).
For example, for an item belonging to the first type of separation in the same processing pass, the tasks of the first type may be generated as follows: and summarizing the item information with the same code in the same group of lists (group lists), and generating a first type of distribution task corresponding to the summarized item information. And, all the first type of distribution tasks generated for items in the same group of sheets (bouquet sheets) are bound or associated with the same first distribution type of slots, so that the staff can put the distribution items into the bound slots when performing the distribution tasks. Where the code for the item may be a SKU (stock keeping unit) or other item identification for the item.
For example, assuming that the same processing wave includes items of the group a, specifically, the group a includes user order 1, user order 2, and user order 3, where user order 1 includes 3 sku _1, 1 sku _2, and 4 sku _5, user order 2 includes 5 sku _2 and 8 sku _3, and user order 3 includes 4 sku _1,5 sku _3, and 6 sku _6, and further, assuming that sku _1, sku _2, and sku _3 are the first distribution type and sku _5, and sku _6 are the second distribution type, it can be obtained by summarizing item information of the first distribution type having the same code in the group a: 7 sku _1, 6 sku _2 and 13 sku _ 3. Next, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 7 sku _1, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 6 sku _2, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 13 sku _3, and the three first type of multicast tasks may be bound to a cell of the same first type, such as seeding cell g _ 1.
Step S203: and for the article with the second distribution type, acquiring line information, determining all the lists in the same line according to the line information, generating a second type distribution task based on the article information of all the lists in the same line, and binding the grids of the rest second distribution types.
Wherein the items of the second type of distribution correspond to the second type of distribution tasks (which may also be referred to as "straight-collar" tasks) and the second type of slots (which may also be referred to as "straight-collar" items). The cells of the second type of separation have a larger volume than the cells of the first type of separation. In specific implementation, the grid can be a place which is manually marked, and can also be a storage basket and the like.
For example, for an item belonging to the second type of distribution in the same processing pass, a task of the second type may be generated as follows: and summarizing the item information with the same code in all the lists in the same line, and generating a second type of distribution task corresponding to the summarized item information. And binding or associating all the second type of distribution tasks generated for the items in the same line with the same second type of cell, so that the staff can put the distribution items into the bound cells when executing the distribution tasks. Where the code for the item may be a SKU (stock keeping unit) or other item identification for the item.
For example, assuming that the same processing wave includes an item of the line _1, specifically, the line _1 includes a bouquet a, a bouquet b, and a bouquet c, the bouquet a includes 8 sku _1, 7 sku _2, 8 sku _3, and 9 sku _4, the bouquet b includes 10 sku _5, 6 sku _4, and 6 sku _1, and the bouquet c includes 8 sku _2, 5 sku _4, and 9 sku _6, and further assuming that sku _4, sku _5, and sku _6 are second distribution types, it can be obtained by summarizing item information of the second distribution types having the same codes in the line _ 1: 20 sku _4, 10 sku _5 and 9 sku _ 6. Next, one second type of multicast task may be generated for 20 sku _4, one second type of multicast task for 10 sku _5, one second type of multicast task for 9 sku _6, and the three second first type of multicast tasks may be bound to a cell of the same second type, such as the straight lead cell g _ 2.
In the embodiment of the invention, the sub-broadcast tasks can be quickly and automatically generated through the steps, and the sub-broadcast tasks of different types are generated aiming at the articles of different sub-broadcast types, so that the sub-broadcast operation time of the grid station can be reduced, the time for delivering the articles to the captain end is shortened, and the user experience is improved; in addition, by combining the group-based distribution and the line-based distribution, the occurrence of the thawing or damage of the articles can be greatly reduced.
Second embodiment
Fig. 3 is a main flow chart of an item distribution method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The method of the embodiment of the invention can be executed by an item distribution device in a grid station system. As shown in fig. 3, the item distribution method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:
step S301: receiving article information issued by a retail system; the item information includes item type information of items in the user order.
Illustratively, the retail system (which may also be referred to as an OFC system) issues item information to the grid station system. Wherein the item information may include: the item code (such as SKU) ordered by the user, the item class to which the item belongs, and the item quantity.
In an optional example, after receiving the item information issued by the retail system, the grid station system further performs the following steps: and merging the item information of the articles in the issued information to obtain the required item information of the articles. For example, the article information issued by the retail system includes 7 kinds of article information, and the grid station system further merges the 7 kinds of articles into three kinds of articles, namely normal temperature, freezing and refrigerating.
Step S302: and automatically setting the item distribution type according to the item type information of the item in the user order, and/or providing a configuration page to set the item distribution type through the configuration page.
In an alternative embodiment, the grid station system automatically sets the type of distribution of the item according to the item type information of the item in the user order. Illustratively, for an item whose category is frozen, automatically setting the item's type of distribution to a second type of distribution; for items of other categories than frozen, i.e. for items of the ambient, refrigerated category, the dispensing type of said items is automatically set to the first dispensing type. Further, the automatically setting the distribution type of the item to the first distribution type or the second distribution type may be setting a field of the distribution type in an item information table, and setting a value of the field to be seeding or direct-leading; or to add information of these items to a seeded item information table or a direct lead information table. In addition, in this alternative embodiment, for large items, the type of distribution of the item may be automatically set to the second distribution type.
In another alternative embodiment, the grid station system provides a configuration page to set the distribution type of the item through the configuration page. Illustratively, for an item whose category is frozen, setting the item's category type to a second category type through a configuration page; for items of other categories than frozen, namely for items of normal-temperature, refrigerated categories, the distribution type of the items is set to the first distribution type through the configuration page.
In yet another alternative embodiment, the grid station system automatically sets the item's triage type according to the item type information for the item in the user order, and provides a configuration page to set the item's triage type via the configuration page. Illustratively, for an item whose category is frozen, automatically setting the item's type of distribution to a second type of distribution; automatically setting the distribution type of the articles to be a first distribution type for articles of other types except freezing, namely for articles of normal-temperature and refrigerated types; for a large item, the item's type of distribution is set to a second type of distribution by a configuration page.
Step S303: and receiving the order grouping information issued by the retail system and storing the order grouping information into a first database table.
Illustratively, the retail system issues ticketing information to the grid station system. Wherein the waybill information may include: the information about the purchase of the items in the clique dimension, for example, information about several items, the number of each item, the contact information of the clique and the like which are ordered by the clique, and the information about the purchase of the items in the user dimension which is ordered, for example, information about several items, the number of each item, the contact information of the user and the like which are purchased in the user order. And after receiving the bill information issued by the retail system, the grid station system stores the bill information into a first database table. In specific implementation, before storing the bill information in the first database table, the grid station system may also perform preprocessing such as splitting or merging on the bill information as needed.
Step S304: and receiving warehouse to goods information issued by the warehouse management system and storing the warehouse to goods information in a second database table.
Illustratively, the warehouse management system of the central warehouse issues warehouse-to-shipment information to the grid-station system. The warehouse goods arrival information can comprise information such as SKU of goods arrived, quantity of goods arrived, SKU of goods out of stock, quantity of goods out of stock and the like. And after receiving the warehouse delivery information issued by the warehouse management system, the grid station system stores the warehouse delivery information into the second database table. In specific implementation, the second database table and the first database table may be different database tables or the same database table.
Step S305: and scanning the first database table and the second database table at regular time to obtain the information of all articles in the same processing wave.
In this step, the first database table and the second database table may be scanned at regular time by the set timing task to obtain all the article information in the same processing wave.
The treatment order may also be referred to as a treatment order or a production order. Typically, sorting is performed in units of a batch that aggregates multiple orders, and the batch of this operation is commonly referred to in the industry as a pass. For example, in a community group buying scenario, all items in the group order generated on the day may be treated as one processing wave. The group order is composed of user orders corresponding to the same group leader (i.e. the same delivery point), for example, the group order a includes user order 1, user order 2, and user order 3 corresponding to the same group leader; the group b includes user orders 4, 5, 6, and 7 corresponding to the same group leader.
Step S306: the distribution type of all items in the same processing wave is determined.
Wherein the distribution types include a first distribution type and a second distribution type. The first and second types of distribution are two different types of distribution. Wherein the first type of item may also be referred to as a "seeding" item and the second type of item may also be referred to as a "straight-collar" item.
In an alternative implementation, a "distribution type" field and a corresponding field value are set in the item information table for each item. Further, in step S201, for each item in the same processing pass, the distribution type of the item can be determined by referring to the item information table.
In another alternative embodiment, all the item information of the first sort type is stored in the seeded item information table in advance, and all the item information of the second sort type is stored in the direct item information table. Further, in step S201, for each item in the same processing pass, the sort type thereof may be determined according to whether it is stored in the seeding item information table or the direct item information table. Specifically, when an item is stored in the seeding item information table, it is determined to be of a first seeding type; when the item is stored in the direct item information table, it is determined to be of the second distribution type.
Step S307: and for the items with the first distribution type, generating the distribution tasks of the first type based on the item information in the same group of sheets, and binding the grids of the rest first distribution types.
Wherein the items of the first type of distribution correspond to a distribution task of the first type (which may also be referred to as a "seeding" task), and a cell of the first type of distribution (which may also be referred to as a "seeding" cell).
For example, for an item belonging to the first type of separation in the same processing pass, the tasks of the first type may be generated as follows: and summarizing the item information with the same code in the same bill, and generating a first type of distribution task corresponding to the summarized item information. And binding or associating all the first type of distribution tasks generated for the items in the same bouquet with the same first type of cell, so that the staff can place the distribution items into the bound cells when executing the distribution tasks. Where the code for the item may be a SKU (stock keeping unit) or other item identification for the item.
For example, assuming that the same processing wave includes items of the group a, specifically, the group a includes user order 1, user order 2, and user order 3, where user order 1 includes 3 sku _1, 1 sku _2, and 4 sku _5, user order 2 includes 5 sku _2 and 8 sku _3, and user order 3 includes 4 sku _1,5 sku _3, and 6 sku _6, and further, assuming that sku _1, sku _2, and sku _3 are the first distribution type and sku _5, and sku _6 are the second distribution type, it can be obtained by summarizing item information of the first distribution type having the same code in the group a: 7 sku _1, 6 sku _2 and 13 sku _ 3. Next, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 7 sku _1, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 6 sku _2, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 13 sku _3, and the three first type of multicast tasks may be bound to a cell of the same first type, such as seeding cell g _ 1.
Step S308: and for the article with the second distribution type, acquiring line information, determining all the lists in the same line according to the line information, generating a second type distribution task based on the article information of all the lists in the same line, and binding the second type distribution task with the grid of the second distribution type.
Wherein the items of the second type of distribution correspond to the second type of distribution tasks (which may also be referred to as "straight-collar" tasks) and the second type of slots (which may also be referred to as "straight-collar" items). The cells of the second type of separation have a larger volume than the cells of the first type of separation.
For example, for an item belonging to the second type of distribution in the same processing pass, the route information may be obtained by querying a third database table, and then generating a task of the second type as follows: and summarizing the item information with the same code in all the bills in the same line, and generating a second type of distribution task corresponding to the summarized item information. And binding or associating all the second type of distribution tasks generated for the items in the same line with the same second type of cell, so that the staff can put the distribution items into the bound cells when executing the distribution tasks. Where the code for the item may be a SKU (stock keeping unit) or other item identification for the item.
For example, assuming that the same processing wave includes an item of the line _1, specifically, the line _1 includes a group list a, a group list b, and a group list c, assuming that the group list a includes 8 sku _1, 7 sku _2, 8 sku _3, and 9 sku _4, the group list b includes 10 sku _5, 6 sku _4, and 6 sku _1, and the group list c includes 8 sku _2, 5 sku _4, and 9 sku _6, further assuming that sku _4, sku _5, and sku _6 are second distribution types, it can be obtained by summarizing item information of the second distribution types having the same codes in the line _ 1: 20 sku _4, 10 sku _5 and 9 sku _ 6. Next, one second type of multicast task may be generated for 20 sku _4, one second type of multicast task for 10 sku _5, one second type of multicast task for 9 sku _6, and the three second first type of multicast tasks may be bound to a cell of the same second type, such as the straight lead cell g _ 2.
Further, before obtaining the line information, the method of the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps: and receiving the line information issued by the short-chain transportation system and storing the line information into a third database table. In specific implementation, the third database table, the first database table, and the second database table may be different database tables or may be the same database table.
Further, the method of the embodiment of the present invention may further include the steps of: and the short-chain transportation system generates line information and sends the line information to the grid station system. Illustratively, the short-chain transportation system generating and issuing the line information to the grid station system comprises:
step a 1: scanning the bill information at regular time, and generating a line according to a preset line template and the bill information obtained by scanning; for example, assuming that one route template corresponds to the long end of the route, when the information of the waybill a is scanned by the timing task, a route a including the waybill a is generated according to the route template, and when the information of the waybill b is scanned by the timing task later, the route a is updated, that is, the information of the waybill b is added to the route a.
Step a 2: and sending a line group point ordering request to a GIS (geographic information system), and receiving the optimal dispatching sequence of a plurality of group lists in the line returned by the GIS. For example, the route a comprises a waybill a, a waybill b and a waybill c, and the optimal dispatching sequence of the waybill returned by the GIS is the waybill b, the waybill a and the waybill c in sequence. The efficiency of the delivery of the items to the mass end is further enhanced by step a 2.
Step a 3: and after responding to a line batch submission instruction sent by a user terminal (such as a terminal used by a grid station worker), performing batch submission on the generated lines.
In specific implementation, a grid station worker can check line information through the terminal equipment, and if no new group list information is added, the grid station worker can send out a batch submission instruction through the terminal equipment; if the information of the newly added bill exists at the moment, the network station can modify the line information manually through the terminal equipment, specifically, the newly added bill is added into the line.

Third embodiment
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the main modules of an item distribution apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the item distribution device 400 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a determination module 401, a first generation module 402, a second generation module 403.
A determining module 401, configured to determine the distribution types of all the items in the same processing wave.
Wherein the distribution types include a first distribution type and a second distribution type. The first and second types of distribution are two different types of distribution. Wherein the first type of item may also be referred to as a "seeding" item and the second type of item may also be referred to as a "straight-collar" item.
The treatment wave number may also be referred to as a wave number or a production wave number. Typically, sorting is performed in units of a batch that aggregates multiple orders, and the batch of this operation is commonly referred to in the industry as a pass. For example, in a community group buying scenario, all items in the group order generated on the day may be treated as one processing wave. The group order is composed of user orders corresponding to the same group leader (i.e. the same delivery point), for example, the group order a includes user order 1, user order 2, and user order 3 corresponding to the same group leader; the group b includes user orders 4, 5, 6, and 7 corresponding to the same group leader.
In an alternative implementation, a "distribution type" field and a corresponding field value are set in the item information table for each item. Further, for each item in the same processing pass, the determination module 401 may determine the distribution type of the item by querying the item information table.
In another alternative embodiment, all the item information of the first sort type is stored in the seeded item information table in advance, and all the item information of the second sort type is stored in the direct item information table. Further, for each item in the same processing pass, the determination module 401 may determine its distribution type according to whether it is stored in the seeded item information table or the direct item information table. Specifically, when an item is stored in the seeding item information table, the determination module 401 determines that it is a first seeding type; when the item is stored in the direct item information table, the determination module 401 determines that it is the second distribution type.
A first generating module 402, configured to, for an item whose distribution type is a first distribution type, generate a distribution task of the first type based on the item information in the same group list, and bind the distribution task with a slot of the first distribution type.
Wherein the items of the first type of distribution correspond to a distribution task of the first type (which may also be referred to as a "seeding" task), and a cell of the first type of distribution (which may also be referred to as a "seeding" cell).
For example, for an item belonging to a first type of separation in the same processing pass, the first generation module 402 may generate a first type of task as follows: the first generation module 402 summarizes the item information with the same code in the same group of sheets and generates a first type of distribution task corresponding to the summarized item information. Moreover, the first generation module 402 binds or associates all the first type of distribution tasks generated for the items in the same group of sheets with the same first type of slots, so that the staff can place the distribution items into the bound slots when performing the distribution tasks. Where the code for the item may be a SKU (stock keeping unit) or other item identification for the item.
For example, assuming that the same processing wave includes items of the group a, specifically, the group a includes user order 1, user order 2, and user order 3, where user order 1 includes 3 sku _1, 1 sku _2, and 4 sku _5, user order 2 includes 5 sku _2 and 8 sku _3, and user order 3 includes 4 sku _1,5 sku _3, and 6 sku _6, and further, assuming that sku _1, sku _2, and sku _3 are the first distribution type and sku _5, and sku _6 are the second distribution type, it can be obtained by summarizing item information of the first distribution type having the same code in the group a: 7 sku _1, 6 sku _2 and 13 sku _ 3. Next, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 7 sku _1, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 6 sku _2, one first type of multicast task may be generated for 13 sku _3, and the three first type of multicast tasks may be bound to a cell of the same first type, such as seeding cell g _ 1.
A second generating module 403, configured to obtain the route information for the item whose multicast type is the second multicast type, determine all the group lists in the same route according to the route information, generate a multicast task of the second type based on the item information of all the group lists in the same route, and bind the slots of the remaining second multicast types.
Wherein the items of the second type of distribution correspond to the second type of distribution tasks (which may also be referred to as "straight-collar" tasks) and the second type of slots (which may also be referred to as "straight-collar" items). The cells of the second type of separation have a larger volume than the cells of the first type of separation.
For example, for an item belonging to the second type of distribution in the same processing pass, the second generation module 403 may generate a task of the second type as follows: the second generating module 403 summarizes the item information with the same code in all the lists in the same line, and generates a second type of distribution task corresponding to the summarized item information. And, the second generating module 403 binds or associates all the second type of distribution tasks generated for the items in the same line with the same second type of cell, so that the staff can put the distribution items into the bound cells when performing the distribution tasks. Where the code for the item may be a SKU (stock keeping unit) or other item identification for the item.
For example, assuming that the same processing wave includes an item of the line _1, specifically, the line _1 includes a bouquet a, a bouquet b, and a bouquet c, the bouquet a includes 8 sku _1, 7 sku _2, 8 sku _3, and 9 sku _4, the bouquet b includes 10 sku _5, 6 sku _4, and 6 sku _1, and the bouquet c includes 8 sku _2, 5 sku _4, and 9 sku _6, and further assuming that sku _4, sku _5, and sku _6 are second distribution types, it can be obtained by summarizing item information of the second distribution types having the same codes in the line _ 1: 20 sku _4, 10 sku _5 and 9 sku _ 6. Next, one second type of multicast task may be generated for 20 sku _4, one second type of multicast task for 10 sku _5, one second type of multicast task for 9 sku _6, and the three second first type of multicast tasks may be bound to a cell of the same second type, such as the straight lead cell g _ 2.
In the embodiment of the invention, the sub-broadcast tasks can be quickly and automatically generated by the device, and the sub-broadcast tasks of different types are generated aiming at the articles of different sub-broadcast types, so that the sub-broadcast operation time of the grid station can be reduced, the time for delivering the articles to the captain end is shortened, and the user experience is improved; in addition, by combining the group-based sowing and the line-based sowing, the occurrence of the thawing or damage of the articles can be greatly reduced.

Further, the automatically setting the distribution type of the item to the first distribution type or the second distribution type may be setting a field of the distribution type in an item information table, and setting a value of the field to be seeding or direct-leading; or to add information of these items to a seeded item information table or a direct lead information table. In addition, in this alternative embodiment, for large items, the type of distribution of the item may be automatically set to the second distribution type.
In another alternative embodiment, grid station system 504 provides a configuration page through which to set the type of distribution of the item. Illustratively, for an item whose category is frozen, setting the item's category type to a second category type through a configuration page; for items of other categories than frozen, namely for items of normal-temperature, refrigerated categories, the distribution type of the items is set to the first distribution type through the configuration page.
In yet another alternative embodiment, grid station system 504 automatically sets the triage type for the item according to the item type information for the item in the user order, and provides a configuration page through which the triage type for the item is set. Illustratively, for an item whose category is frozen, automatically setting the item's type of distribution to a second type of distribution; automatically setting the distribution type of the articles to be a first distribution type for articles of other types except freezing, namely for articles of normal-temperature and refrigerated types; for a large item, the item's type of distribution is set to a second type of distribution by a configuration page.
The grid station system 504 is further configured to store the information of the bill issued by the retail system into the first database table after receiving the information of the bill. In specific implementation, before storing the waybill information in the first database table, the grid station system 504 may also perform preprocessing such as splitting or merging on the waybill information as needed.
The warehouse management system 502 is used for issuing warehouse arrival information to the grid station system 504. Illustratively, the warehouse management system 502 may issue warehouse arrival information to the grid site system at regular intervals (e.g., 23:00 a day to 3:00 a tomorrow). The warehouse goods arrival information can comprise information such as SKU of goods arrived, quantity of goods arrived, SKU of goods out of stock, quantity of goods out of stock and the like.
The grid station system 504 is further configured to receive warehouse to item information issued by the warehouse management system and store the warehouse to item information in the second database table. In specific implementation, the second database table and the first database table may be different database tables or the same database table.
And the short-chain transportation system 503 is used for generating the line information and sending the line information to the grid station system 504. As to how the short-chain transportation system 503 generates route information in detail, reference may be made to the relevant description in the second embodiment.
The grid station system 504 is further configured to receive the route information issued by the short-chain transportation system 503 and store the route information in the third database table. In specific implementation, the third database table, the first database table, and the second database table may be different database tables or may be the same database table.
The grid station system 504 is further configured to scan the first database table and the second database table at regular time to obtain information of all articles in the same processing cycle; grid station system 504 is also used to determine the distribution type of all items in the same processing wave; for the items with the first distribution type, generating a first type distribution task based on the item information in the same group of bills, and binding the first type distribution task with the grid of the first distribution type; for the articles with the second distribution type, acquiring line information, determining all the bills in the same line according to the line information, generating a second type distribution task based on the article information of all the bills in the same line, and binding the second type distribution task with the grid of the second distribution type; wherein the volume of the cells of the second type of division is greater than the cells of the first type of division.
During specific implementation, after the group sowing task is generated and the lattice is bound through the system, the grid station sowing personnel can sow the objects to the sowing lattice according to the group sowing task, sow the objects to the straight-leading lattice according to the line, and then send the objects to the driver from the short-chain transportation side to take the objects to the group growing end.
In the embodiment of the invention, the sub-broadcast tasks can be quickly and automatically generated through the system, and the sub-broadcast tasks of different types are generated aiming at the articles of different sub-broadcast types, so that the sub-broadcast operation time of the grid station can be reduced, the time for delivering the articles to the captain end is shortened, and the user experience is improved; in addition, by combining the group-based distribution and the line-based distribution, the occurrence of the thawing or damage of the articles can be greatly reduced.
