The following describes example embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a scheduling method for order out of a warehouse in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 1, the scheduling method for order delivery may include:

step S102, determining a production flow of the order to be placed according to the quantity and the category of the articles in the order to be placed, wherein the production flow comprises at least one of picking, rechecking and distributing.

And step S104, carrying out stop processing on the order to be placed according to the order quantity of the order to be placed.

Step S106, the picking processing information of the articles is determined according to the production flow of the to-be-picked orders subjected to the stopping processing and the storage conditions of the preset storage areas.

And S108, picking and warehousing the articles according to the picking processing information.

The steps of the order-out scheduling method will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2 to 10.

As shown in fig. 2, according to the product quantity and the product category of the articles in the order to be placed, the production process of determining the order to be placed includes:

step S202, if the number of the articles in the same class is larger than or equal to the first preset number, the articles are classified into the first-class picking orders.

Step S204, determining to pick items of the first type of pick order to a first pick container.

Step S206, rechecking one item of the first picking container.

Step S208, sub-sowing is carried out according to the picking quantity of the first-class picking orders.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the number of items of the same category is greater than or equal to a first preset number, the items are divided into first-category picking orders, the first-category picking orders are picked without sub-sowing by forming second-killing picking orders when the number of single-item orders ordering items of the same SKU (Stock Keeping Unit, stock quantity unit) reaches the first preset number, and in the re-checking process, only one item is re-checked for the first-category picking orders, so that the re-checking efficiency is improved, the sub-sowing operation is performed according to the actual picking number, and the ex-warehouse efficiency of the second-killing orders is improved in terms of a production process.

As shown in fig. 3, the determining a production flow of an order to be placed according to the product quantity and the product category of the object in the order to be placed further includes:

step S302, if the number of the articles of the plurality of items is determined to be greater than or equal to the second preset number, the articles are divided into the second sort orders.

Step S304, determining to pick the item of the second type of pick order to a second pick container.

Step S306, rechecking and distributing each item of the second picking container.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the number of the items of the plurality of items is greater than or equal to the second preset number, the items are divided into a second type of picking orders, that is, the plurality of items of which the ordered number exceeds a certain value are individually formed into a single picking order, that is, one order is one picking order, and are picked to a second picking container, the second type of picking order is picked without sub-sowing, and each item of the second type of picking order is checked, so that the delivery efficiency is improved and meanwhile, the reliability of checking is ensured.

As shown in fig. 4, the determining a production flow of an order to be placed according to the product quantity and the product category of the object in the order to be placed further includes:

in step S402, a number of items is determined as a designated number and a plurality of orders for which the to-be-placed order includes the same designated item are determined to be a third type of pick order.

Step S404, determining to pick items of the third type of pick order to a third pick container.

Step S406, asynchronously picking and sorting items of the third picking container.

Step S408, alternately rechecking the designated item and other items of the third picking container.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the designated number is 2, an associated picking order is formed when the number of order sets, of which the number is two and each order includes the same designated SKU, reaches a certain value, and the items of the third picking container are asynchronously picked and separated to improve the efficiency of the generating process.

As shown in fig. 5, the determining a production flow of an order to be placed according to the product quantity and the product category of the object in the order to be placed further includes:

step S502, if it is determined that the number of the items to be placed in the order is greater than or equal to the fourth preset number, and the number of the items to be placed in the order is greater than or equal to the fifth preset number, dividing the items into fourth sort order.

Step S504, determining to pick the items of the fourth type of picking order to a fourth picking container, and distributing in the process of picking to the fourth picking container.

And step S506, checking the items of the fourth picking container according to the to-be-picked order.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple-item pick orders are formed for multiple-item orders that have no single pick order and no associated pick order, with the order number being greater than or equal to two, and the items being picked are sorted upon picking and inspected during review according to the order.

As shown in fig. 6, the scheduling method for order delivery further includes:

step S602, determining the quantity and class of the to-be-placed orders in the specified time range.

In step S604, if the number of the to-be-placed orders is less than or equal to the sixth preset number, the storage location of the item is divided into a first area and a second area, or into a first area.

In step S606, if the number of the to-be-placed orders is greater than the sixth preset number and the number of the items is greater than or equal to the seventh preset number, the storage location of the item is divided into a first area, a second area, and one or more third areas.

Step S608, if the number of the to-be-delivered orders is greater than the sixth preset number and the number of the items is less than the seventh preset number, dividing the storage position of the article into a first area, a plurality of second areas, and one or more third areas, where the articles stored in the second areas are used for replenishing the first area and the third area, and the delivery amount of the articles in the third areas is greater than the delivery amount of the articles in the first area.

In an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the second area is a holding area, the first area is a sorting area, the third area is a free sales area, the free sales area is an empty warehouse area before marketing activities, when the order volume reaches a certain level, N SKUs (N is the goods position of the free sales area) with the largest corresponding order volume and the largest order volume in the order volume of the cut order collection are counted to form staged free sales objects, and according to the sales volume of the free sales objects, replenishment is performed from the holding area to the free sales area, thereby forming a free sales sorting warehouse area. According to the production flow of a warehouse, the order statistical range with the largest sales volume is defined as an order set of multiple orders and the condition that the order set of single picking orders is not achieved, and the storage can be carried out specifically according to the following modes:

the order quantity is less: a picking zone, a storage zone or a management mode of the picking zone is adopted.

The order quantity is larger, and the SKU number is more: a management mode of a management area, a sorting area and one or more open sales areas is adopted.

The order quantity is larger, and the SKU number is smaller: a management mode of one conservation area, a plurality of sorting areas and one or more open sales areas is adopted.

As shown in fig. 7, determining picking process information of the item according to a production flow of a to-be-picked order of the intercept process and a storage condition of a preset storage area includes:

Step S702, if it is determined that the inventory amount of the second area is greater than or equal to the number of the to-be-sorted orders, and the number of the to-be-sorted orders is greater than or equal to the eighth preset number, sorting the articles in the second area according to the production flow of the first sort of sorting orders.

As shown in fig. 8, determining picking process information of the item according to a production flow of the order to be placed in the warehouse and a storage condition of a preset storage area in the stop process further includes:

step S802, if it is determined that the inventory amount of the second area is smaller than the number of the to-be-sorted orders, sorting all the articles in the second area according to the production flow of the first sort of sorting orders.

As shown in fig. 9, determining picking process information of the item according to a production flow of the order to be placed in the warehouse and a storage condition of a preset storage area in the stop process further includes:

step S902, when a second type of picking order is sent out, the picking priority of the articles in the second area is higher than the picking priority of the articles in the first area.

As shown in fig. 10, the scheduling method for order delivery further includes:

and step S1002, restocking is carried out on the third area according to the sales of the articles to be subjected to the warehouse-out order.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, to reduce the manual operations from the holding area to the picking area, individual orders are preferentially picked from the holding area in a second biocidal manner.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a pick-per-second order for the holding area is generated when the holding area inventory is greater than or equal to the order quantity and the order quantity is greater than or equal to the pick order minimum group singular, enabling pick for the holding area.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the custody inventory number is less than or equal to the order number, a second kill order for the custody is generated or forced to be generated, effecting the custody picking and emptying the custody inventory for the custody, and for the purpose of increasing the picking speed, the custody picking employs a pick strategy that empties and minimises the inventory.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, since the storage employs a one-item multi-level management strategy, the area of the storage area is much larger than the area of the picking area, and under the same conditions, the picking route naturally becomes longer than the picking area, based on which the order of the single item in the second-kill picking mode of the storage area is only allowed to be picked in the picking area.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in view of the uncertainty in the number of picks of items in the associated pick order, to maximize inventory consumed by the holding area, the holding area is preferentially picked when the number of picks of items is greater than or equal to the number of inventory in the holding area, and if there is a remaining number, the remaining number is picked in the pick area.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, picking is performed at the holding area if the pick number of items is less than the holding area inventory and the pick number is greater than or equal to the minimum set of single parameters for the second kill pick order and picking is performed at the picking area if the pick number is less than the minimum set of single parameters for the second kill pick order.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the clear sales area is for centralized picking, so the area of the clear sales area is small, the picking path is short, and the clear sales area replenishment principle is to replenish the order quantity of the articles corresponding to the clear sales area, so the order corresponding to the clear sales area is preferentially picked in the corresponding clear sales area.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple picking zones are permanent scattered picks, requiring designated picking zones for picking for multiple orders outside of the corresponding orders of the open sales zone.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the order volume that meets the order-for-pick-order ordering condition is less and the production priority is lower, so orders that meet the order-for-pick-order ordering condition are only allowed to be picked in the pick zone.

In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the efficiency of second kill pick orders is much higher for single pick orders than for single pick orders; for multi-product orders, the related picking orders with the maximized order quantity of two orders are formed, the seeding operation before rechecking is omitted, the picking efficiency and rechecking efficiency can be improved, and no special requirement is required for a picker. Therefore, when the order is produced, the order of the single product is produced in a second killing generation mode as much as possible, and the order of two orders is produced by adopting the associated production flow.

In an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, data analysis is performed according to different features of an order and a warehouse production flow before the order enters a WMS system, and the order of which features is determined to be scheduled to the WMS for production according to the analysis result, so that daily productivity of the warehouse is maximally improved, the goal of order production is achieved within a specified time, production cost is reduced, and risk of overall operation is reduced.

When the orders to be taken out of the warehouse with different characteristics are subjected to cut analysis, the WMS system can automatically judge the optimal picking warehouse area according to the embodiment of the disclosure according to the factors such as the inventory of different warehouse areas, the order quantity required to be allocated by tasks, the order attribute and the like.

As shown in fig. 11, the storage area may be divided as follows:

(1) The order quantity is less: either a pick zone 1102, a holding zone 1104, or a pick zone 1102 management is used.

(2) The order quantity is larger, and the SKU number is more: management of a holding area 1104, a picking area 1102, and one or more clear-of-sales areas 1106 is employed.

(3) The order quantity is larger, and the SKU number is smaller: management of one custody area 1104, multiple sorting areas 1102, and one or more sales promotion areas 1106 is employed.

As shown in fig. 12, the first type of information 1202 for a pick order includes order 1, order 2, order 3, order 4, order 5, and order 6, each order has SKU a and a stock out number of 1, and the summarized production object includes: SKU is a, commodity number is 6, order number is 6.

Corresponding to the method embodiment, the disclosure further provides a scheduling device for order delivery, which can be used for executing the method embodiment.

As shown in fig. 13, a production flow 1302 of a first type of pick order includes: items with SKU a at storage location 001 were picked 10 times and placed in a picking container.

As shown in fig. 14, the production flow 1402 for the second type of pick order includes:

items with SKU a for bin 001 were picked 10.

Items with SKU B of bin 002 were picked 10.

Items with SKU C for bin 003 were picked 5.

Items with SKU D of storage 004 are picked 10.

Items of SKU corresponding to A, B, C and D are picked to one picking container.

As shown in fig. 15, information 1502 for a third type of pick order includes: order 1 includes an item with a SKU of a and an item with a SKU of B; order 2 includes an item with a SKU of a and an item with a SKU of C; order 3 includes an item with a SKU of a and an item with a SKU of D; order 4 includes an item with a SKU of a and an item with a SKU of E; order 5 includes an item with a SKU of a and an item with a SKU of F; order 6 includes one item with SKU a and one item with SKU G.

The main product is an article corresponding to A, and the auxiliary products are articles corresponding to B, C, D, E, F and G.

As shown in fig. 16, the production flow 1602 for the fourth type of pick order includes:

items with SKU a for bin 001 were picked 10.

Items with SKU B of bin 002 were picked 10.

Items with SKU C for bin 003 were picked 5.

Items with SKU F for bin 020 were picked 10.

And (3) the objects corresponding to A, B, C and F are selected in a separated mode into containers corresponding to each order, and the objects are checked according to the orders.

As shown in fig. 17, the matching rule for the storage location 1702 of the second area includes:

for items of SKU a, the stock levels are 001, 002, 003 and 004 for numbers 100, 80, 40 and 100, respectively, with the minimum group singular number of the order for second kill set to 10 and the maximum group singular number to 100.

If the number of items for the second kill order is greater than or equal to 100, then picking is performed from the limit on the storage location to the storage location 001.

If the number of items for a second kill order is greater than 10 and less than 100, then the second kill is forced, for example, to locate bin 003 for picking if the number is 40 and to locate bin 002 for picking if the number is 80.

If the number of items for killing orders in seconds is smaller than 10, forced killing in seconds is carried out, and if the number of items for killing orders in seconds is smaller than the minimum storage position number of the storage area, the items are positioned to the picking area for picking.
