In this embodiment, after determining the target correction strategy, a corresponding picking correction plan or a corresponding correction plan model is constructed by using a global planning idea and an interference management idea, and based on the result of the pre-planning, a correction plan (corresponding to correction picking plan information) with the minimum system disturbance (the system disturbance appears as a narrow channel congestion degree and a picking cost deviation degree) is generated according to the target picking correction plan corresponding to the target correction strategy, so as to solve the channel congestion problem; in this embodiment, the idea of interference management is to emphasize real-time adjustment of the original plan, and to build a corresponding interference management model with the goal of minimizing the deviation, and to timely provide an adjustment plan for handling the interference event.
And S204, carrying out reprofiling updating on the corrected picking planning information according to the first warehouse congestion state information and carrying out distribution planning on the target picking order according to the target picking planning information generated by the reprofiling updating, wherein the warehouse channel congestion is relieved by the target warehouse when order picking is carried out based on the target picking planning information.
In this embodiment, after correction planning is executed, the corresponding picking object is instructed to perform order picking operation in the target warehouse according to correction picking planning information generated by the correction planning, meanwhile, whether the warehouse channel congestion condition in the target warehouse is relieved after the correction planning is implemented is judged, if not, the correction planning is repeated according to the channel congestion condition (corresponding to the first warehouse congestion state information) and the real-time running state information (monitored by the sensing equipment) in the target warehouse after the previous correction planning is completed, and the channel congestion condition after the repeated correction planning is verified until the congestion is relieved; and after judging that the congestion is relieved, continuously monitoring the real-time running state information in the target warehouse, and performing periodical pre-planning.
Through the steps S201 to S204, in the order picking process based on the first picking planning information, real-time operation state information corresponding to the target warehouse is detected, and first operation state information corresponding to the target warehouse is obtained from the first picking planning information, wherein the first picking planning information is generated by periodically picking and distributing multi-scale fusion data corresponding to the target picking order by using a pre-planning model, the pre-planning model is constructed based on a preset optimizing strategy target and an improved nested genetic algorithm, the picking and distributing process comprises picking batch and path planning, and a corresponding warehouse channel is formed in the target warehouse by deploying narrow channel shelves; determining whether deviation exists between the real-time running state information and the first running state information, and determining a target correction strategy according to initial channel congestion state information corresponding to a warehouse channel under the condition that the deviation exists, wherein the target correction strategy comprises a target picking correction plan; acquiring correction operation state information from correction picking planning information, and determining first warehouse congestion state information corresponding to the correction operation state information, wherein the correction picking planning information is generated by carrying out target picking correction planning on real-time operation state information and initial channel congestion state information; according to the first warehouse congestion state information, re-planning and updating modified picking planning information according to target picking correction planning, and carrying out distribution planning on target picking orders according to target picking planning information generated by the re-planning and updating, wherein when order picking is carried out based on the target picking planning information, a target warehouse releases warehouse channel congestion, the problem that narrow channel congestion is ignored by an e-commerce warehouse picking planning method in the related art, picking planning disorder, labor cost and order fulfillment cost are easy to cause is solved, and the beneficial effects of improving warehouse picking operation smoothness and reducing labor and picking operation cost are achieved by periodically pre-planning and dynamically planning and correcting the picking orders in real time and executing a narrow channel blocking avoidance mechanism.
It should be noted that the pre-planning and correction rules performed in this embodiment are planning for picking a target pick order, and it is understood that picking a target pick order is also planning for assigning a pick order.
In some embodiments, the determining the target correction policy in step S202 according to the initial warehouse channel congestion status information corresponding to the warehouse channel is implemented by the following steps:
and step 21, detecting a first congestion rate corresponding to a congestion detection node positioned on the warehouse channel in the initial warehouse channel congestion state information, wherein the first congestion rate is used for representing the congestion degree of the corresponding warehouse channel.
In this embodiment, a corresponding warehouse aisle is formed in the target warehouse due to deployment of the narrow aisle racks, so that a picking object (a picker) picks goods placed on the narrow aisle racks, and the picking object picks orders along the warehouse aisle, so that aisle congestion can be generated.
Step 22, calculating first total congestion rates corresponding to all warehouse channels in the target warehouse based on the first congestion rates, and determining channel congestion levels in the target warehouse according to the first total congestion rates.
In this embodiment, the current congestion condition of the target warehouse and the current channel congestion level of the target warehouse are further determined by determining the congestion degree of each warehouse channel.
Step 23, acquiring a target picking correction plan from preset picking correction plans based on the channel congestion level, wherein the picking correction plan at least comprises one of the following steps: a single picking object picking plan adjustment, a linkage adjustment of the picking plans of a plurality of picking objects, the addition and deletion of the picking plans, and the correction of the first picking plan information.
In this embodiment, the preset picking correction plans include an internal adjustment correction plan, a multiparty linkage correction plan, a resource linkage correction plan, and a demand linkage correction plan, and each picking correction plan corresponds to a correction mode, that is, corresponds to a picking correction scheme, for example: the internal adjustment correction planning is to adjust the picking path, the task execution sequence or the picking waiting time of one picking object, and after determining the target picking correction planning according to the channel congestion level, the correction plan which enables the minimum narrow channel congestion degree and the minimum picking cost deviation in the target warehouse is formulated through the correction mode corresponding to the target picking correction planning.
Through the steps 21 to 23, the target picking correction plan is determined, and based on the result of the pre-planning, a correction plan is generated to minimize the congestion degree of the narrow channel in the target warehouse and the deviation of the picking cost, so as to solve the problem of channel congestion, improve the smoothness of warehouse picking operation, and reduce the labor and picking operation cost.
In some of these embodiments, the objective picking correction planning of the real-time running status information and the initial warehouse aisle congestion status information in step S203 includes the steps of:
step 31, detecting first pick sub-plan information from the real-time running state information, wherein the first pick sub-plan information comprises a first pick object and a first pick sub-plan.
In this embodiment, the first picking sub-schedule information is schedule information of a corresponding first picking object performing a picking operation, where the first picking sub-schedule information includes a unique identifier or number of goods that the first picking object needs to pick, a required number, a storage location in a target warehouse, and an order picking deadline.
And step 32, determining a target picking correction plan according to the congestion state information of the initial warehouse channel.
In this embodiment, according to the initial warehouse aisle congestion status information, a target picking correction plan is determined, and a picking correction plan for correcting the first picking sub-plan information corresponding to the first picking object is determined, for example: for the current first pick sub-schedule information, the pick path, the task execution sequence or the pick waiting time is adjusted.
And step 33, carrying out correction processing on the first picking sub-plan based on the target picking correction plan to generate a candidate picking sub-plan, wherein the correction processing comprises adjustment of the first picking sub-plan and/or adjustment of the first picking object, and the candidate picking sub-plan comprises a second picking object after adjustment of the first picking object and a second picking sub-plan after adjustment of the first picking object.
In this embodiment, since the correction schemes corresponding to the target picking correction plans are different, when the correction process is performed, not only adjustment of the picking path, the order of task execution, or the picking waiting time corresponding to the first picking sub-plan, but also adjustment of the picking object, for example: when the target picking rule is a multiparty linkage correction plan, the picking paths of a plurality of picking objects are linked, the picking path i of the picking object a is adjusted to the picking path i of the picking object b, and in some other embodiments, the picking of the picking objects and the corresponding picking paths in the target warehouse is reduced, or the task arrangement in the first picking plan information of the pre-plan is corrected, for example: and modifying the deadline of the order, so that the corresponding picking path, task allocation, task execution sequence and picking waiting time are correspondingly modified, thereby realizing the improvement of the congestion condition in the current target warehouse.
And step 34, determining a deviation value of the first cable casting cost corresponding to each candidate picking sub-plan and a preset cost threshold value, determining a second congestion rate of a warehouse channel corresponding to each candidate picking sub-plan, and selecting the candidate picking sub-plan with the minimum deviation value and the lowest second congestion rate to obtain modified picking planning information, wherein the modified picking planning information comprises the candidate picking sub-plans with the minimum deviation value and the lowest second congestion rate.
In this embodiment, after correction planning is performed on the first picking sub-plan, order picking operation is performed in the target warehouse according to a candidate picking sub-plan generated by the correction planning and corresponding to the picking object, and whether the congestion condition of the warehouse channel where the picking object is located is relieved after the execution of the candidate picking sub-plan executed by the corresponding picking object is judged, so as to determine the target picking sub-plan corresponding to the picking object, and after the determination of the target picking sub-plan of the picking object currently executing the picking operation is completed, correction picking planning information is obtained.
Through the steps 31 to 34, correction of the picking planning information corresponding to the single picking object is realized, so that global correction of global picking planning information is further realized, and a correction plan which minimizes the narrow-channel congestion degree and the picking cost deviation in the target warehouse is generated based on the pre-planning result, so as to solve the channel congestion problem.
In some embodiments, the step S203 of rescheduling and updating the corrected picking plan information according to the current warehouse congestion status information and the target picking correction plan includes the following steps:
and step 41, detecting a third congestion rate corresponding to a congestion detection node positioned on the warehouse channel in the first warehouse congestion state information, wherein the third congestion rate is used for representing the congestion degree of the warehouse channel when the picking operation is performed according to the corrected picking planning information.
In this embodiment, the sensing device (e.g., a camera) disposed at a position (congestion detection node) corresponding to the warehouse aisle detects the flowing and walking condition of the picking object in the warehouse aisle to determine that the congestion condition in the warehouse aisle corresponds to the time of picking operation according to the modified picking planning information, and in this embodiment, the third congestion rate refers to the current congestion degree of the warehouse aisle and does not indicate that there are multiple congestion rates.

1. Encoding
The genetic algorithm is mainly used for obtaining a better order batch scheme, and determining the number of order batches according to the number of current idle staff, namely, the corresponding problem is defined as follows: based on N orders in the current order pool and M unoccupied pickers, respectively distributing the orders to each staff as picking tasks of the next picking period; because the number of orders and the number of staff are integers and have continuity, an integer coding mode is adopted, the chromosome length is N, the chromosome length is consistent with the number of orders in an order pool, the position numbers of genes respectively correspond to the order numbers in the order pool, for example, the first gene represents order information with the number of 1, and the nth gene represents order information with the number of N; the value range of each gene in the chromosome is 0~M, which indicates which employee the order should be allocated to, and the value of the gene corresponds to the employee number, for example, a value of 1 indicates an employee with a number of 1, and a value of M indicates an employee with a number of M; the first gene code is 3 in the following description, which means that orders numbered 1 in an order pool are distributed to staff numbered 3, and a set formed by orders corresponding to all the gene codes of 3 is an order batch required to be selected by staff numbered 3; in particular, a gene encoded as 0 indicates not to participate in this round of picking allocation;
2. Population initialization
The initial population is a starting point of the genetic algorithm for loop iteration optimization, and a good initial population can reduce the iteration times of the genetic algorithm and improve the efficiency and quality of solving the optimization problem; generally, the initial population can be obtained through random generation, the initial population quantity is generally in the range of 50-200, and too small or too large initial population quantity can increase the iteration times of the genetic algorithm or excessively long solving time, so that the operation efficiency is low. In the algorithm, the population number is set to be 50, the maximum iteration number is 100, and the population is generated in a random initialization mode.
3. Fitness function calculation
In the genetic algorithm, the fitness function is used for measuring the environmental fitness of individuals in the population, the individuals are subjected to superior and inferior elimination according to the fitness value, the higher the fitness is, the higher the probability of inheriting offspring is, the lower the fitness is, and the probability of being eliminated is high. Because the genetic algorithm is only based on the fitness function value when being selected, the quality of the fitness function selection can directly influence the speed of solving the genetic algorithm and the searching of the optimal solution, and when solving the actual problem, a mapping relation between an optimization target and the individual fitness is required to be established; since the goal of picking pre-planning is to minimize the total cost of the planned picking cycle, including labor costs, aisle congestion management costs, order delay costs; therefore, the fitness value f of the individual is also measured from the three aspects, and the following formula is specific:
The following explains in detail three parts of the fitness value calculation formula, wherein,
representing the cost of labor time, i.e. at time t, the system state isAt this time, take a picking planThe generated picking labor cost isThe specific calculation formula of (2) is as follows:
is a labor cost coefficient, can be set according to the actual situation of enterprises, and has a formulaAnd the time cost is converted into manual cost by calculating the time generated by each employee in the picking plan, when the employee is not assigned with a task at the time t, the generated cost is calculated to be 0, otherwise, the sum of the walking time, the picking operation time and the congestion waiting time is calculated. Wherein the travel time is a ratio of an optimal picking path length of the picking batch to an average worker travel rate;
representing the management cost or loss cost due to congestion, i.e. at time t, the system state isAt this time, take a picking planThe congestion management cost for the system is thatThe specific calculation formula is as follows:
wherein,for the congestion management cost coefficient, the value is taken according to the actual condition of an enterprise, and the formula is as followsFor calculating a congestion rate, whereinAn increased value representing the length of time that the batch scheme caused congestion at congestion monitoring point q, Indicating the magnitude of increase in the number or number of congestion caused by the scheme, coefficientAndthe method comprises the steps that deviation of an enterprise on congestion time length and the number of congestion points is measured, and relevant data of congestion state prediction are obtained through a narrow-channel congestion analysis operator;
representing the order delay cost, i.e. at time t, the system state isAt this time, take a picking planThe congestion management cost for the system is thatThe specific calculation formula is as follows:
wherein,the cost coefficient of order delay can be valued according to the actual situation of enterprisesTo estimate the final delay cost for order i under the picking strategy; since the order delay can only be judged after the order is completed, the order delay cost is the sameHysteresis in the problem; for the treatment of hysteresis problems, the solution adopted here is to employ a short-looking cost approximation strategy; in pre-picking planning, i.e. estimating the cost of the order delay it eventually causes according to a pre-picking planning scheme, and by introducing parametersThe estimation method is accurate, and parameters are set through a steep drop algorithmIs set to the optimum value of (2).
4. Selection operator
Referring to fig. 6, a tournament selection strategy is employed to take a number of individuals from the population at a time (sample-back) and then select the best one of them to enter the offspring population. Repeating the operation until the new population size reaches the original population size; because the tournament selection strategy has the characteristics of smaller complexity, easy parallelization, difficult sinking into local optimal points and no need of sorting all fitness values, in the embodiment, a ternary tournament strategy is adopted, namely 3 individuals are taken out of the overall samples at one time, then the optimal individuals are taken out of the individuals and put into a set reserved to the next generation population, and the specific operation flow is as follows: 1. firstly, randomly selecting three individuals from a population; 2. comparing the fitness values of the three individuals, and selecting the individual with the largest fitness value as a winner to be placed into a offspring population set; 3. and (3) repeating the steps 1 to 2 until the number of the offspring population sets reaches the set population size.
5. Crossover operator
Referring to fig. 7 to fig. 9, the crossover operator in this embodiment adopts a two-point crossover strategy, where two-point crossover refers to a specific operation procedure of randomly setting two crossover points in an individual chromosome and then performing partial gene exchange, where the two-point crossover is: two individuals paired with each other were randomly selected as shown in fig. 7; two cross points are randomly arranged in two individual code strings paired with each other as shown in fig. 8; the partial chromosomes of the two individuals between the two set crossover points are swapped, as shown in fig. 9.
6. Mutation operator
In the embodiment, the mutation probability is set to be 0.005, a strategy of turning mutation is adopted, one gene is randomly selected from chromosomes, and then the gene is randomly turned to other selectable gene values; the specific mutation logic is as follows: a random number is first generated for each individual selected. If the random number is not greater than the preset mutation rate, the offspring individual needs mutation operation; otherwise, the offspring individuals remain unchanged; if the conditions for performing the mutation operation are satisfied, a mutation point is randomly selected in the range of [0, N ], and this mutation point determines which gene will be mutated. Subsequently, randomly mutating the gene of the variation point, wherein the mutation range is [0, M ]; finally, the new progeny after mutation is preserved.
7. Termination of
Repeating the steps 3 to 6 until the preset iteration times or the convergence of the result are reached; in this embodiment, the iteration number is set to 100, and after the iteration process is finished, an individual with the highest fitness value is found from the population, and the individual is the optimal solution.
