The following describes a specific embodiment of a method for scheduling a stacker task according to the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an alternative method for scheduling a stacker task according to the present application, where the present specification provides the method operation steps according to the embodiment or the flow chart, but the method may include more or less operation steps based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps recited in the embodiments is merely one manner of performing the steps in a multitude of orders and does not represent the only order of execution. In practice, the system or server product may be implemented in a sequential or parallel manner (e.g., parallel processor or multi-threaded environment) according to the embodiments or methods shown in the figures. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the method may include:
s201: acquiring a stacker task set, wherein the stacker task set comprises attribute information of a plurality of stacker tasks and an arrangement sequence of the plurality of stacker tasks; the attribute information includes a cargo position and a target position; the target location is a location where the cargo needs to be moved to a designated location.
In one possible embodiment, step S201 can be specifically expressed as: the method comprises the steps of obtaining the priority level of each stacker task, sequencing the plurality of stacker tasks based on the priority level of each stacker task to obtain a to-be-processed set of the stacker tasks, obtaining attribute information of each stacker task, wherein the attribute information comprises a goods position and a target position, the target position is a position for moving the goods to a specified position, and determining the stacker task set based on the arrangement sequence of the plurality of stacker tasks in the to-be-processed set of the stacker tasks and the attribute information of each stacker task. The method has the advantages that the task set is formed by selecting a certain number of tasks to the task pool, and the method has the following effects; firstly, an emergency task can be inserted into the task pool at any time, the emergency degree of the emergency task can be adjusted, priority processing of the emergency task is guaranteed, secondly, a reasonable convergence range can be guaranteed, the number of the operation tasks in the limited task pool can be calculated, and the phenomenon that the algorithm is slowed down due to excessive calculation data can be avoided. By calculating the operation path of the tasks in the whole task pool, the optimal operation track is selected, and the influence on the subsequent tasks caused by only calculating one let task is avoided. That is to say, the optimal warehousing and ex-warehousing path of the batch tasks can be calculated controllably and efficiently, and the problem that the efficiency is influenced by the slow calculation speed of the algorithm caused by excessive tasks is avoided.
It should be noted that the task arrangement order in the task pool can set the operation order of the tasks, especially the emergency tasks, according to the actual situation of the field, thereby really realizing real-time scheduling of the tasks, and avoiding that the emergency tasks cannot be executed in time, and can only be executed according to the specified task order, which causes that the emergency tasks cannot be delivered from the warehouse.
In this embodiment, the attribute information further includes three types of task types, which are respectively an ex-warehouse type, an in-warehouse type, and a move-warehouse type.
The delivery refers to a process of transferring goods in the three-dimensional warehouse to a delivery port.
Warehousing means that the warehousing port/the ex-warehouse port is acquired and placed in a three-dimensional warehouse.
The step of transferring the goods in the three-dimensional warehouse is to transfer the goods in the three-dimensional warehouse.
The meaning of the cargo position and the target position are different based on different task types.
For a stacker task with a task type of ex-warehouse, the cargo position includes cargo coordinate information and attribute information, the attribute information includes a rack located on the inner side and a rack located on the outer side, and the rack on the outer side is close to the roadway, refer to fig. 3, where fig. 3 is a top view of an optional three-dimensional warehouse in the present application.
In this embodiment, the inner side shelf may also be referred to as an inner row and the outer side shelf may also be referred to as an outer row. The cargo coordinate information may be three-dimensional coordinate data, such as xyz coordinate data; and can also be data of rows, columns and layers, and a specific library bit can be positioned based on the characteristic, such as 001-. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a top view of another alternative stereoscopic library of the present application. The bin positions 2-1-10 represent the 10 th level of row 2, column 1.
Alternatively, the attribute information may be determined based on the cargo coordinate information and the position of each row.
And for the stacker task with the task type of warehousing, the cargo position is the position coordinate of the cargo at the warehousing port. The target position includes target library bit coordinate information, which may be the three-dimensional coordinate data of the above example, and attribute information including an inner row and an outer row.
For a stacker task with a task type of moving the warehouse, the cargo position comprises the cargo coordinate information and the attribute information, and the target position comprises the target warehouse position coordinate information and the attribute information.
It should be noted that if the stacker needs to move out the goods in the inner row of storage positions, the goods must first pass through the outer row of storage positions, and if the field is limited, only one row of shelves may be provided, that is, a single row of shelves, see fig. 4.
When the goods of a certain stacker task need to be discharged from the warehouse at the inner row and the goods exist at the outer row of warehouse positions, the stacker needs to transfer the goods to other warehouse positions, namely, the stacking is carried out.
When goods of a certain stacker task are discharged from the warehouse in the warehouse, the stacking needs to be carried out, the calculated first target warehouse position is the outer-discharging warehouse position, and is just the outer-discharging warehouse position of the goods position to be discharged from the warehouse of the subsequent task, so that the goods of the subsequent task are discharged from the warehouse again and need to be stacked again, and secondary shielding can be formed. If there will be such secondary occlusion, the path may need to be re-planned.
S202: sequentially determining a plurality of running paths of the pilers corresponding to each piler task based on the goods position and the target position of each piler task in the plurality of piler tasks and the arrangement sequence to obtain a path data set; the path data set comprises a plurality of running paths corresponding to each stacker task and the time required by the stacker when each running path in the plurality of running paths is completed.
The current mainstream algorithm only solves the problem of single task, does not consider secondary shielding caused by the influence of the algorithm on subsequent warehousing and ex-warehouse tasks, is fixed, cannot be flexibly configured, is not suitable for the comprehensive condition of multi-row or single-row goods shelves, does not consider the influence of machine transportation time and goods handling on the optimal road strength, does not consider the warehousing condition after the pallets bearing the goods are warehoused, and the like.
The method and the device can be based on the overall multi-task consideration in task concentration, so that the optimal path can be determined, and the condition that the tray returns to the warehouse after being delivered from the warehouse can be considered.
When calculating the running path of the task of the stacker, besides the task type, the structure of the three-dimensional warehouse needs to be considered, namely the structure shown in fig. 3 or the structure shown in fig. 4, or the three-dimensional warehouse is provided with a stack-falling shelf, the storage position of the shelf can not store goods for temporary stack-falling and transfer use, and the problem that the stack-falling cannot be finished because no empty warehouse is available in a roadway is avoided.
Embodiments of the above-described stereo library scenarios and task types will be set forth below, respectively.
In a possible embodiment, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of another alternative stacker task scheduling method according to the present application. Step S202 may be specifically stated as:
s2021: and for each stacker task, if the task type of the stacker task is warehouse-out, determining the position of the position where the goods are located as the position of the goods.
In this embodiment, the cargo space position may be the three-dimensional data, and referring to fig. 4, the storage spaces 2-1-10 are the positions of the cargo to be delivered.
It should be noted that the white library bit in fig. 4 is a free library bit, and the gray library bit is an occupied library bit.
S2022: and if the goods position is located on the inner side goods shelf, determining scene state information of the goods based on the goods coordinate information and the storage position state of the goods within the first preset range.
That is to say, when the goods is located in the inner row, it is necessary to determine whether the corresponding outer row is occupied, and if occupied and a blocking object exists, the goods must be moved out for being stacked, and at this time, the optimal stacking position of the blocked goods needs to be determined.
Optionally, the storage position determined by the first preset range may be a storage position including an inner row, an outer row and a single row closest to the storage position of the cargo.
In this embodiment, the library position status includes that the library position is occupied or the library position is unoccupied; the scene state information of the goods at least comprises the following three conditions: firstly, a shielding object is arranged on an outer side goods shelf corresponding to goods, and a first empty storage position is arranged on an inner side goods shelf within a second preset range of the shielding object; secondly, a shielding object exists on the outer side goods shelf corresponding to the goods, a first empty storage position does not exist on the inner side goods shelf within a second preset range of the shielding object, and a third empty storage position exists on the outer side goods shelf; thirdly, no shielding object is stored on the outer side goods shelf corresponding to the goods.
In the third case, the blocking object can be directly moved out without being inverted, and the first and second cases must be inverted, wherein the second case can directly move the blocking object to the third storage location, and the first case needs to move the goods to the first storage location.
It should be noted that, in fact, in the present application, a path condition of a next task of the current task is considered, if the current task is the second condition, but an outward-discharge bin position of goods to be delivered from a bin of a subsequent task is the third bin position, secondary shielding of the subsequent task is caused, an optimal path of the current task needs to be re-planned, and a long time is required for completing a task in a task set due to the secondary shielding.
The first case described above will be mainly explained below.
For example, referring to fig. 4, assuming that the warehouse location to be shipped is 2-1-10, the warehouse locations 2-1-9 are empty warehouse locations, and the single row of shelves is in a full row state, and the other warehouse locations are as shown in fig. 4, since the outer row warehouse location corresponding to the warehouse location 2-1-10 is occupied 2-2-10, i.e. a shelter exists, the goods to be moved out of the warehouse location 2-1-10 will necessarily need to be stacked upside down, at this time, it can be seen that the adjacent optimal stacking warehouse location of 2-2-10 includes 2-1-9,2-2-9,2-1-11,2-2-11, 2-3-10, and since 2-2-9,2-1-11,2-2-11, 2-3-10 are all occupied, 2-1-9 is the optimal warehouse location, however, since the outer row of the warehouse locations 2-2-9 corresponding to the warehouse locations 2-1-9 is occupied, at this time, the goods at the warehouse locations 2-2-9 need to be firstly stacked, based on the above-mentioned principle of stacking, the warehouse locations 2-2-9 adjacent to the optimal stacking position include 2-1-9, 2-2-8, 2-2-10 and 2-3-9, and since the warehouse locations 2-2-10 and 2-3-9 are occupied, and based on the stacking sequence, the single row > inner row > outer row is followed, then 2-1-9 is the optimal stacking position, that is, the goods at 2-2-9 needs to be moved to 2-1-9 first, at this time, 2-2-9 is an empty warehouse location, that is, the above-mentioned first empty warehouse location, and then the goods 2-2-10 are moved to the first empty storage position, so that the goods 2-1-10 can be moved to the target position.
The utility model provides an above-mentioned definite rule of optimum storehouse position of falling a jam is single row > interior row > outer row, because single row storehouse position only has a row goods shelves, and outer row storehouse position has two goods shelves, and follow-up probably has the secondary to shelter from, if have interior row and outer circumstances of arranging simultaneously, the interior row of preferred selection avoids appearing outer row and has the goods and the interior condition that does not have the goods, causes the waste in space.
Optionally, a weight may be added to the algorithm for determining single row > inner row > outer row, that is, when the optimal path is calculated, the weight is added to the calculated value, for example, the single row 0, the inner row 1, the outer row 2, and then the optimal value is selected, so that it is ensured that the target location under the same path is still according to the single row > inner row > outer row rule, and the optimal path is finally calculated.
S2023: if the scene state information indicates that a shelter exists on the outer side goods shelf corresponding to the goods, and a first empty storage position exists on the inner side goods shelf within a second preset range of the shelter; the shelter is moved to the first empty warehouse location, and the path of moving the goods to the target position is determined as the running path of the stacker task.
In this embodiment, since there may be a plurality of times of stack inversions, the blocking object moved to the first empty storage location may be on an adjacent outer-row storage location corresponding to the cargo (see the above example), or may be on an outer-row storage location directly corresponding to the cargo, for example, when the 2-2-9 storage location is unoccupied.
In another possible embodiment, step 2023 may be replaced by the following process: if the scene state information indicates that a shelter exists on the outer side goods shelf corresponding to the goods, and a second empty storage position exists on the single-row goods shelf within a second preset range of the shelter; the shelter is moved to the second empty warehouse location, and the path of moving the goods to the target position is determined as the running path of the stacker task.
For example, referring to fig. 4, 2-1-10 is the warehouse location to be ex warehouse, gray is the occupied warehouse location, if 2-1-10 goods need to be ex warehouse, 2-2-10 warehouse location must be stacked, so 5 warehouse locations of 2-2-10 are calculated as the optimal solution, but 2-2-9.2-2-11, 1-2-10, 2-3-10, 3-2-10, and 5 warehouse locations are calculated as the optimal solution, and the final optimal solution is 2-3-10, and all the stacked warehouse locations are transferred to 2-3-10 and then ex warehouse according to the rule of single row > inner row > outer row, and all the stacked warehouse locations are 2-2-10.
S2024: and acquiring the running speed of the stacker.
Optionally, due to the fact that different stereoscopic warehouse equipment and different places on the market are different, the running speed and the goods forking time are different, time consumed by each task for leaving the warehouse can be accurately calculated by designing the two parameters, and once the subsequent tasks are subjected to secondary shielding conditions, paths can be recalculated according to optimal time by comparing with the subsequent tasks.
In this embodiment, the running speed of the stacker can be defined as the stacking speed and the moving speed. The time required for the corresponding path may subsequently be determined based on the determined number of times of stack inversions and the path length.
S2025: and determining the time required by the stacker to complete the stacker task based on the running speed of the stacker and the running path of the stacker task.
The three-dimensional warehouse is mainly explained by the conditions of the figures 3 and 4, and in order to improve the application flexibility of the stacker task scheduling method, and avoid the situation that the first preset range of the goods to be discharged from the warehouse needs to be too wide, or the first preset range cannot find the goods which can be stacked upside down and cannot timely take out the goods in the inner row, the three-dimensional warehouse is further provided with a stacking-reversing shelf. In another possible embodiment, the step S2023 may be replaced by:
if the scene state information indicates that a shelter exists on the outer side goods shelf corresponding to the goods, and empty storage positions do not exist on the single-row goods shelf and the outer-row goods shelf within a second preset range of the shelter; moving the shelter to a target stack-reversing storage position, and determining a path of moving the goods to the target position as a running path of the stacker task; and the target stack-reversing storage position is a storage position on the stack-reversing shelf close to the goods.
It should be noted that, based on the position of the destacking storage location, the destacking storage location may also be included in the arrangement priority of the destacking storage location, that is, the arrangement rule may be single row > inner row > outer row > destacking storage location.
Through the design of the goods shelves in the three-dimensional warehouse as the inner row, the outer row and the single row, the shielding and the calculation of the optimal path can be flexibly and quickly identified, and the position of the warehouse to be stacked is set up again, so that the situation that no empty warehouse is available in a roadway and the stacking can not be completed is avoided.
The above is an explanation of the case that the task type is warehouse-out, and the following description will be made on the case that the task type is warehouse-in.
In one possible embodiment, step S202 can be specifically expressed as: for each stacker task, if the task type of the stacker task is warehousing and the target position is located on an inner side goods shelf, determining scene state information of the goods based on the goods coordinate information and the state of the goods at the position in a first preset range, and if the scene state information indicates that a shielding object exists on an outer side goods shelf corresponding to the goods and the first empty position exists on an inner side goods shelf in a second preset range of the shielding object; moving the shelter to the first empty warehouse location, and determining a path of the goods to the target position as a target running path of the stacker task; acquiring the running speed of the stacker; and determining the time required by the stacker to complete the stacker task based on the running speed of the stacker and the running path of the stacker task.
It should be noted that the process and principle of moving the goods to the target position of the shelf in the warehousing process are the same as those of taking out the goods, and the difference from the above-mentioned warehousing task lies in that the definitions of the goods position and the target position are different, and are not described herein again. In the case of the moving warehouse, because the goods in the three-dimensional warehouse are transferred in the warehouse, the goods can be taken out and stored according to the inverted stacking rule of single row > inner row > outer row.
In fact, in order to avoid task congestion when a large amount of warehouse exits occur and a tail support returns the warehouse, or the tail support cannot return the warehouse during machine operation, so that the inventory is occupied, subsequent warehouse exits are affected, and the state information of the stacker is required to be determined. That is, when a plurality of stackers operate in parallel, the state of each stacker needs to be acquired in real time, that is, whether the stacker is occupied or not, so as to ensure efficient and orderly execution of tasks.
S203: determining a target path dataset from the path dataset; the target path data set comprises a target operation path of each stacker task; the time corresponding to the target paths of the plurality of stacker tasks is less than the time corresponding to the non-target paths of the plurality of stacker tasks; the time corresponding to the target paths of the plurality of stacker tasks is the sum of the time corresponding to the target running path of each stacker task.
Optionally, a segmented multi-concurrent timing mechanism can be introduced, firstly, tasks can be disassembled at regular time, one task can be disassembled through a task lock, the task to be executed is guaranteed to be the highest priority forever, secondly, the disassembled operation instruction can be executed in sequence at regular time, and as three conditions are possible after the task is disassembled, 1, one task which is not required to be stacked and is directly delivered out of a warehouse is not needed, 2, the task which is required to be stacked is related, and 3, the position of the stacking warehouse is a temporary position, and the task which is subjected to the warehouse returning instruction is added. The sequential execution can be ensured, and the recovery work instruction can be ensured to continue executing after the machine crashes by using a Redis distributed cache mechanism, so that the high availability of programs and algorithms is ensured.
In an alternative embodiment, step S203 may calculate all achievable target operation paths of each stacker task, arrange and combine the target operation paths corresponding to all stacker tasks, and determine the time of all feasible combinations, so as to determine the operation path with the shortest time after combination as the following target path.
By setting the moving speed and the stacking time of the stacker, when the optimal path is calculated, secondary shielding is often performed on subsequent tasks to cause stacking of the subsequent tasks, the single task may be the optimal path, but the task pool is not always the whole task pool, so that the number of the target running paths which can be realized by each stacker task is reduced while the whole optimal path in the task pool can be determined, the calculated amount is reduced, and the efficiency is improved. In another optional embodiment, in step S203, when the optimal path of the current stacker task is calculated each time, the optimal path bin of the next stacker task needs to be calculated at the same time, the current task is compared with the subsequent tasks, whether secondary occlusion exists is determined, if so, the secondary occlusion time is added, then the minimum time of each path is calculated, and the task path with the minimum time is taken out, so that the optimal solution of the task in the task pool is obtained. And sequentially according to the mode until the target paths of all the tasks in the task set are determined.

When calculating the objective warehouse location of falling a pile simultaneously, still need judge the objective warehouse location of falling a pile whether interim warehouse location: due to the fact that the temporary transfer warehouse location is set, if the optimal target warehouse location for transferring the stack is the temporary warehouse location, an operation instruction for returning to the warehouse needs to be added once, and the fact that the subsequent temporary warehouse location is occupied is avoided.
