仓储管理的主要工作之一是物料整理。通常情况下,一个仓库包括多个货架,每一货架包括多个仓位,每一仓位上存储有多种物料,并且每一种物料被按照一定的数量包装在包装箱中存储在相应的仓位上。所谓物料整理,是指将目标仓库内不同仓位之间的物料进行整合的过程,这些仓位可以在同一货架上,也可以在不同货架上。
然而,相关技术中,主要是利用人工进行物料整理,例如,由操作人员到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位,任务哪些仓位上的货物可以整理到另外的仓位上去,人工生成物料整理任务;并由操作人员驾驶物料搬运车或手动将物料从源仓位移动到目的仓位上去。很显然,相关技术中由人工生成物料整理任务的方法,以及有人工进行物料整理的方法效率低下,严重影响了仓储管理的效率。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
为了解决相关技术中存在的问题,本申请实施例提供了一种物料整理任务生成方法及装置,以及一种物料整理方法及装置。
下面首先对本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法进行说明。
参考图1,图中示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法的流程图。如图1所示,该方法包括步骤S101至S103。
S101、接收针对目标仓库的目标区域整理指令,所述指令中包括至少一个货架编号;
在本申请实施例中,可以预先建立目标仓库的信息数据库;所述信息数据库中存储有目标仓库的:库存信息和仓库地图等信息;其中,目标仓库的仓库地图中显示有各货架在所述目标仓库中的位置信息,点击仓库地图中的任一货架后,可以获得相应的货架信息和位于该货架上的仓位的仓位信息。货架信息包括:货架编号、位于该货架上的各仓位的仓位信息等,仓位信息包括:仓位编号、仓位容积、仓位的存储类型、存储在该仓位上的物料的库存信息等。
其中,库存信息包括:物料编号、物料名称、物料数量、物料批次、物料所在仓位的仓位编号、物料所在货架的货架编号、物料包装箱的体积、物料的重量、以及一个包装箱能存储的物料的数量等信息。
具体的,接收针对目标仓库的目标区域整理指令的方式可以包括以下两种。
方式一、接收用户输入的包含至少一个货架编号的输入指令;
方式二、接收用户勾选目标仓库的仓库地图中至少一个货架的勾选指令,该勾选指令中包括被勾选货架的货架编号。
在实际应用中,可以维护一个目标仓库的智能管理系统,通过该系统可以访问预先建立的信息数据库中的所有信息,用户可以通过该系统的操作界面输入至少一个货架编号。同样的,用户可以通过该智能管理系统访问目标仓库的仓库地图,进而在仓库地图中勾选至少一个货架以用于生成物料整理任务。
图2示出了目标仓库地图的一种示意图,在图2中,通过网格对仓库地图进行划分,一个网格代表一个储位,一个储位只能对应放置一个货架,当然并不是每一个储位上都对应放置了货架;由于在本实施例中将通过机器人进行货架搬运,因此,在图2所示的仓库地图中,还预留了对机器人进行充电、机器人排队等候、机器人旋转、机器人转弯及机器人行走的位置,并将这些位置连同货架用不同的图形进行标识,不同图形所表示的具体含义请参见图2。
需要说明的是,图2所示的仓库地图仅是仓库地图的一种示例,其中的图形所表示的含义也仅仅是举例,在实际应用中可以根据实际情况具体设定,并不受图2所给出的示例的限制。
S102、根据预先存储的所述目标仓库的库存信息,将所述指令中各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集;
在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,步骤S102具体可以包括下述步骤1至步骤3:
步骤1、根据目标仓库的信息数据库中存储的货架信息,获得所述指令中各货架编号对应的各仓位;
步骤2、根据所述库存信息,确定所述各仓位的可移动库存的体积;
步骤3、判断所述各仓位的可移动库存的体积是否不大于第一阈值,若为是,将该仓位确定为源仓位;若为否,将该仓位确定为目的仓位;
其中,所述第一阈值为第二阈值与该仓位的容积的乘积;第二阈值为仓储管理人员根据仓位的容积、仓位存储的物料的类型以及经验设定的,第二阈值的取值范围为[0,1]。
其中,可移动库存是指满足第一预设条件的库存;其中,第一预设条件包括:该仓位未被冻结、该仓位未被执行盘点操作、该仓位上存储的物料未被执行出库、该仓位上存储的物料未被执行入库,和该仓位中存储的物料对应的库存可用中的一种或多种的组合。
可以看出,本申请实施例中,由于只针对存在可移动库存的仓位生成物料整理任务,因此,可以很好地避免物料整理作业对其他仓储管理工作的影 响。
步骤4、将所有的源仓位划分至源仓位集,将所有的目的仓位划分至目的仓位集。
在本申请实施例的另一种具体实施方式中,步骤S102中,所述将所述指令中各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集的步骤,可以包括:
从所述指令中筛选出对应货架总重量不大于机器人的最大承重量的各货架编号;将筛选出的各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集。
由于,在本申请实施例中,将使用货架搬运机器人搬运货架进行物料整理,因此,在生成物料整理任务时,如果考虑了机器人的最大承重量,可以保证机器人的使用寿命不被损害。
S103、判断所述源仓位集中的仓位内是否存在至少一个包装箱能够移动至所述目的仓位集中的仓位内,如果是,则生成物料整理任务;
其中,所述物料整理任务包括:源仓位对应的货架编号和/或目的仓位对应的货架编号。在本申请实施例中,将源仓位对应的货架编号称为源货架编号,将目的仓位对应的货架编号称为目的货架编号。
所述物料整理任务还可以包括:源仓位编号、目的仓位编号、待整理物料的编号及待整理物料的包装箱的数量、待整理物料的名称、待整理物料的批次、待整理物料的生产厂商、待整理物料的描述信息、待整理物料的当前可用库存、待整理物料的特殊库存标识、该物料整理任务的创建者和该物料整理任务的创建时间等信息中的至少一种。
不难理解,待整理包装箱中存放的物料即为待整理物料,对待整理包装箱的整理即是对待整理物料的整理。
在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,如图3所示,步骤S103具体可以包括如下步骤:
S301、从所述目的仓位集中任选一个仓位作为第一目的仓位,并计算所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积;
具体地,根据预先建立的信息数据库中存储的货架信息确定第一目的仓 位的容积,和第一目的仓位上已存储物料的体积,将二者作差,即可获得第一目的仓位的剩余体积。
S302、判断所述源仓位集中是否存在第一源仓位;若存在第一源仓位,执行步骤S303;可选地,若不存在第一源仓位,执行步骤S304;
其中,所述第一源仓位与所述第一目的仓位的存储类型相同,并且所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中存在体积小于所述剩余体积的至少一个包装箱;
存储类型一般是指,该仓位能够存储的物料的种类,例如,该仓位的存储类型为:纽扣电池类。
具体地,根据预先存储的库存信息,确定第一源仓位的可移动库存及可移动库存中的各个包装箱的体积。
在本实施例中,可选地,第一源仓位与第一目的仓位的容积也相同。
S303、根据所述库存信息,确定所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积;从所述可移动库存中,选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积的一个或多个包装箱;将所述一个或多个包装箱作为待整理包装箱,并生成将所述待整理包装箱从所述第一源仓位移动至所述第一目的仓位的物料整理任务。
由于预先存储的库存信息中有物料包装箱的体积,因此,可以根据所述库存信息,确定第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积,进而从中选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积的多个包装箱。
可以理解的是,这多个包装箱可能正好是第一源仓位中的可移动库存中的所有包装箱,也可能是第一源仓位中的可移动库存中的几个包装箱,甚至是一个,这都是合理的。
在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,为了保证第一目的仓位的寿命不受损害,可选地,步骤S303中,所述根据所述库存信息,确定所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积;从所述可移动库存中,选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积的多个包装箱的步骤,可以包括:
根据所述信息数据库中存储的库存信息,确定所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积和重量;
从所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中,选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积,并且总重量不大于所述第一目的仓位的剩余容纳重量的多个包装箱。
S304、将所述第一目的仓位从所述目的仓位集中删除。
如果源仓位集中不存在第一源仓位,说明源仓位集中不存在可以整理至第一目的仓位的物料,因此,需要将第一目的仓位从目的仓位集中删除,以避免重复对第一目的仓位执行步骤S302,造成资源浪费。
本实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法,基于预先存储的库存信息,在接收到目标区域整理指令后,可以自动生成物料整理任务,而不需要人工到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位生成物料整理任务。与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短生成物料整理任务的时间,大幅提高了物料整理任务的生成效率,进而大幅提高了目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于免去了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
可选地,在执行步骤S103之前,也即在执行所述判断所述源仓位集中的仓位内是否存在至少一个包装箱能够移动至所述目的仓位集中的仓位内的步骤前,本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法,还可以包括如下步骤:
判断各目的仓位所在货架已存储物料的重量是否超过第四阈值,若超过第四阈值,将该目的仓位从所述目的仓位集中删除。
其中,所述第四阈值为不大于该目的仓位所在货架的最大承重量的值。
可以看出,本实施例在生成物料整理任务时,还考虑了目的仓位所在货架的最大承重量,当某一目的仓位所在货架已存储物料的重量超过第四阈值时,则不向该目的仓位上继续放置物料,可以避免对该目的仓位所在货架的寿命造成损害。
可选地,本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法,还可以包括如下步骤:重复执行步骤S103,生成多项物料整理任务。
具体的,在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,如图3所示,当步骤S103具体包括步骤S301至S303时,重复执行所述步骤S301至S303,生成多项物料整理任务,也即,重复执行所述从所述目的仓位集中任选一个仓位作为第一目的仓位至生成一项物料整理任务的步骤,生成多项物料整理任务。
具体的,在本申请实施例的另一种具体实施方式中,如图3所示,当步骤S103具体包括步骤S301、S302和S304时,先判断所述目的仓位集是否为空,若为否,再重复执行步骤S301至S303,也即,重复执行所述从所述目的仓位集中任选一个仓位作为第一目的仓位至生成一项物料整理任务的步骤,生成多项物料整理任务;若为是,则结束本流程。
可以理解的,重复执行步骤S301至S304,直至目的仓位集为空,意味着目标区域内不再存在可接收待整理物料的目的仓位,针对目标区域的物料整理任务已全部生成,可以结束本流程。
参考图4,图中示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法的另一流程图。如图4所示,该方法包括步骤S401至S410。
S401、接收针对目标仓库的目标区域整理指令,所述指令中包括至少一个货架编号;
S402、根据预先存储的所述目标仓库的库存信息,将所述指令中各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集;
需要说明的是,步骤S401和步骤S402执行的内容,分别与图1中的步骤S101和S102对应一致,此处不再重复描述。
S403、从所述目的仓位集中任选一个仓位作为第一目的仓位,并计算所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积;
S404、判断所述源仓位集中是否存在第一源仓位;若存在所述第一源仓位,执行步骤S405,若不存在第一源仓位,执行步骤S407;
其中,所述第一源仓位与所述第一目的仓位的存储类型相同,并且所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中存在体积小于所述剩余体积的至少一个包装箱;
S405、根据所述库存信息,确定所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积;从所述可移动库存中选出,总体积不大于所述剩余体积的多个包装箱;将所述多个包装箱作为待整理包装箱,并生成将所述待整理包装箱从所述第一源仓位移动至所述第一目的仓位的物料整理任务。
需要说明的是,步骤S403、S404、S405和S407执行的内容,与图3所示的步骤S301至S304一一对应相同,因此,本实施例中不再对步骤S403、S404、S405和S407进行详细描述。
S406、判断所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积与所述待整理包装箱的总体积的差是否小于第三阈值;若为是,执行步骤S407;若为否,执行步骤S410;
其中,第三阈值是根据该目的仓位的存储类型设定的,一般情况下,第三阈值为该仓位能够存储的物料对应的最小包装箱的体积,当然也可以根据经验设定。
S407、将所述第一目的仓位从所述目的仓位集中删除;
S408、判断所述目的仓位集是否为空,若为是,结束本流程;若为否,执行步骤S409;
由于当目的仓位集为空时,说明不再需要对目标区域进行物料整理,因此,只有在目的仓位集不为空的情况下,才有必要进一步执行步骤S409,以生成多项物料整理任务。
S409、重复执行步骤S403至S405,生成多项物料整理任务;
S410、根据所述剩余体积与所述待整理包装箱的总体积的差,更新所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积,重复执行步骤S404至S405;
具体的,将所述第一目的仓位剩余体积的大小,更新为步骤S403中计算获得的,所述剩余体积与步骤S405中确定的所述待整理包装箱的总体积的差的大小。
本实施例提供的一种物料整理整理任务生成方法,基于预先存储的目标仓库的库存信息,在接收到目标区域整理指令后,可以自动生成针对目标区域的物料整理任务,而不需要人工到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位生成物料整理 任务。与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短生成物料整理任务的时间,大幅提高了物料整理任务的生成效率,进而大幅提高了目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于免去了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
参考图5,图中示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法的另一流程图。如图5所示,该方法包括步骤S501至S509。
步骤S501至S505所执行的具体内容与图4中所示的步骤S401至S405一一对应相同,此处不再重复描述。
S506、判断所述第一源仓位的可移动库存是否还有剩余;若为否,执行步骤S507;若为是,执行步骤S509;
S507、将所述第一源仓位从所述源仓位集中删除,转入步骤S508;
S508、判断所述源仓位集是否为空,若为否,执行步骤S509;若为是,结束本流程;
由于当源仓位集为空时,说明目标区域中没有需要整理的物料,因此,只有在源仓位集不为空的情况下,才有进一步重复执行步骤S503至S505的必要。
S509、重复执行步骤S503至505,生成多项物料整理记任务。
本实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法,基于预先存储的目标仓库的库存信息,在接收到目标区域整理指令后,可以自动生成针对目标区域的物料整理任务,而不需要人工到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位生成物料整理任务。与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短生成物料整理任务的时间,大幅提高了物料整理任务的生成效率,进而大幅提高了目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于免去了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
可选地,本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成方法,还可以包括 如下步骤:
将源仓位对应的货架编号和目的仓位对应的货架编号均相同的多项物料整理任务,合并至同一项物料整理任务中;
或者,将源仓位对应的货架编号相同的多项物料整理任务,合并至同一项物料整理任务中;
或者,将目的仓位对应的货架编号相同的多项物料整理任务,合并至同一项物料整理任务中。
可以理解的是,由于实际应用中,会存在将同一源仓位上的物料整理到位于不同货架上的不同目的仓位上去的情况,或者存在位于同一货架上的同一目的仓位接收来自不同货架上的源仓位整理出来的物料,因此,应用本申请实施例提供的物料整理任务生成方法所生成的物料整理任务可以是多个。
当然,也可以将所有的物料整理任务均合并到同一个物料整理任务中,只生成一项物料整理任务。
不难理解,由于本申请实施例将采用机器人进行物料整理,因此,将源仓位对应的货架编号和/或目的仓位对应的货架编号相同的物料整理任务进行合并后,机器人搬运一次货架,可以完成更多的物料整理任务,避免机器人多次重复搬运相同货架造成资源浪费。
下面对本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理方法进行说明。
参考图6,图6示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理方法的流程图。如图6所示,该方法包括步骤S601至S604:
S601、获得本申请任一实施例中生成的物料整理任务;
S602、根据所述物料整理任务中包含的货架编号,生成调度至少一个机器人的调度指令;
在本申请实施例中,由于一个机器人一次只能搬运一个货架,因此,可以生成与货架编号一一对应的多个调度指令。
由于物料整理任务可能有多个,因此,可以首先选择确定实际需要整理的物料整理任务,物料整理任务中携带被整理物料的全部信息,并将物料整理任务发送给机器人管理系统,由机器人管理系统对所述物料整理任务进行分解生成调度指令,并将所述调度指令发送给至少一个机器人。
S603、向所述至少一个机器人发送携带有货架编号的所述调度指令,以使所述至少一个机器人将所述货架编号对应的货架搬运至预设位置;
可以先将生成的调度指令按一定的顺序进行排序,排序后根据机器人的数量将这些调度指令依次发送给相应的机器人,使机器人按序执行完成当前调度指令后,再执行下一个调度指令。
其中,预设位置为目标仓库中的指定位置,在实际应用中,预设位置为工作台。工作台是供操作人员拣货、查询物料整理任务的平台。
S604、在满足第二预设条件的情况下,向所述至少一个机器人发送返回指令,以使所述至少一个机器人将所述货架编号对应的货架搬运至初始位置。
其中,所述第二预设条件为:所述至少一个机器人在所述预设位置的停留时间超过第五阈值;或,接收到预设指令。
具体的,在所述至少一个机器人在所述预设位置的停留时间超过预设值的情况下,向所述至少一个机器人发送返回指令。或者,在接收到预设指令的情况下,向所述至少一个机器人发送返回指令。例如,预设指令可以为:工作台的操作人员发送的拣货已完成的指令,其中,拣货指的是,根据物料整理任务将源仓位中的待整理物料放置到目的仓位中的过程。
初始位置,是指货架在目标仓库中的原始位置。
在实际应用中,用户可以通过工作台查询物料整理任务,图7显示了实际应用中的一种工作台查询物料整理任务的查询界面,通过图7中的查询界面,工作人员可以获知物料整理任务的编号、源货架编号、目的货架编号、源仓位、目的仓位、物料编号等信息,工作人员选中一项整理任务项(一项物料整理任务),并点击“执行”按钮,可跳转至拣货界面,拣货界面如图8所示。
当工作人员完成实际拣货后,点击图8中的“执行”按钮,整个拣货操 作便完成,此时向机器人发送返回指令,机器人会将所述货架编号对应的货架自动搬运至初始位置。
可选的,所述调度指令中还携带有机器人的移动路径,所述移动路径是根据目标仓库的仓库地图、被搬运货架在仓库地图中的位置确定的。
本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理方法,一方面,采用本申请实施例提供的物料整理任务生成方法生成的物料整理任务;另一方面,采用机器人进行货架搬运以完成物料整理。因此,与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短物料整理的时间,进而可以大幅提高目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于减少了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
下面对本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置进行说明。
请参考图9,图9示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置的结构框图,如图9所示,该装置包括:指令接收模块901、仓位划分模块902和第一判断模块903。
指令接收模块901,用于接收针对目标仓库的目标区域整理指令,所述指令中包括至少一个货架编号;
在本申请实施例中,预先建立目标仓库的信息数据库;所述信息数据库中存储有目标仓库的:库存信息和仓库地图等信息;其中,目标仓库的仓库地图中显示有各货架在所述目标仓库中的位置信息,点击仓库地图中的任一货架后,可以获得相应的货架信息和位于该货架上的仓位的仓位信息。货架信息包括:货架编号、位于该货架上的各仓位的仓位信息等,仓位信息包括:仓位编号、仓位容积、仓位的存储类型、存储在该仓位上的物料的库存信息等。
其中,库存信息包括:物料编号、物料名称、物料数量、物料批次、物料所在仓位的仓位编号、物料所在货架的货架编号、物料包装箱的体积、物料的重量以及一个包装箱能存储的物料的数量等信息。
具体的,指令接收模块901接收目标区域整理指令的方式可以包括以下两 种。
方式一、接收用户输入的包含至少一个货架编号的输入指令;
方式二、接收用户勾选目标仓库的仓库地图中至少一个货架的勾选指令,该勾选指令中包括被勾选货架的货架编号。
仓位划分模块902,用于根据预先存储的所述目标仓库的库存信息,将所述指令中各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集;
在本申请实施例提供的一种具体实施方式中,仓位划分模块902包括:仓位获取子模块、确定子模块、第一判断子模块和划分子模块。
仓位获取子模块,用于根据目标仓库的信息数据库中存储的货架信息,获得所述指令中各货架编号对应的各仓位;
确定子模块,用于根据所述库存信息,确定所述各仓位的可移动库存的体积;
第一判断子模块,用于判断所述各仓位的可移动库存的体积是否不大于第一阈值,若为是,将该仓位确定为源仓位;若为否,将该仓位确定为目的仓位;
其中,所述第一阈值为第二阈值与该仓位的容积的乘积;第二阈值为仓储管理人员根据仓位的容积、仓位存储的物料的类型以及经验设定的,第二阈值的取值范围为[0,1]。
其中,可移动库存是指满足第一预设条件的库存;其中,第一预设条件包括:该仓位未被冻结、该仓位未被执行盘点操作、该仓位上存储的物料未被执行出库、该仓位上存储的物料未被执行入库,和该仓位中存储的物料对应的库存可用中的一种或多种的组合。
可以看出,本申请实施例中,由于只针对存在可移动库存的仓位生成物料整理任务,因此,可以很好地避免物料整理作业对其他仓储管理工作的影响。
划分子模块,用于将所有的源仓位划分至源仓位集,将所有的目的仓位划分至目的仓位集。
在本申请实施例提供的另一种具体实施方式中,划分模块902,具体用于从所述指令中筛选出对应货架总重量不大于机器人的最大承重量的各货架编号;将筛选出的各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集。
由于,在本申请实施例中,将使用货架搬运机器人搬运货架进行物料整理,因此,在生成物料整理任务时,如果考虑了机器人的最大承重量,可以保证机器人的使用寿命不被损害。
第一判断模块903,用于判断所述源仓位集中的仓位内是否存在至少一个包装箱能够移动至所述目的仓位集中的仓位内,如果是,则生成物料整理任务;所述物料整理任务包括:源仓位对应的货架编号和/或目的仓位对应的货架编号。
所述物料整理任务还可以包括:源仓位编号、目的仓位编号、待整理物料的编号及待整理物料的包装箱的数量、待整理物料的名称、待整理物料的批次、待整理物料的生产厂商、待整理物料的描述信息、待整理物料的当前可用库存、待整理物料的特殊库存标识、该物料整理任务的创建者和该物料整理任务的创建时间等信息中的至少一种。
不难理解,待整理包装箱中存放的物料即为待整理物料,对待整理包装箱的整理即是对待整理物料的整理。
在本申请实施例提供的一种具体实施方式中,如图10所示,第一判断模块903包括:选择子模块1001、第二判断子模块1002和整理任务生成子模块1003。
选择子模块1001,用于从所述目的仓位集中任选一个仓位作为第一目的仓位,并计算所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积;
具体地,选择子模块1001可以根据预先建立的信息数据库中存储的货架信息确定第一目的仓位的容积,和第一目的仓位上已存储物料的体积,将二者作差,即可获得第一目的仓位的剩余体积。
第二判断子模块1002,用于判断所述源仓位集中是否存在第一源仓位;若存在,触发整理任务生成子模块1003;可选地,若不存在第一源仓位,触发第一删除子模块1004;
其中,所述第一源仓位与所述第一目的仓位的存储类型相同,并且所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中存在体积小于所述剩余体积的至少一个包装箱;
存储类型一般是指,该仓位能够存储的物料的种类,例如,该仓位的存储类型为:纽扣电池类。
具体地,根据预先存储的库存信息,确定第一源仓位的可移动库存及可移动库存中的各个包装箱的体积。
在本实施例中,可选地,第一源仓位与第一目的仓位的容积也相同。
整理任务生成子模块1003,用于在所述第二判断子模块获得的判断结果为是的情况下,根据所述库存信息,确定所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积;从所述可移动库存中,选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积的一个或多个包装箱;将所述一个或多个包装箱作为待整理包装箱,并生成将所述待整理包装箱从所述第一源仓位移动至所述第一目的仓位的物料整理任务;
由于预先存储的库存信息中任务有物料包装箱的体积,因此,可以根据预先存储的库存信息,确定第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积,进而从中选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积的多个包装箱。
可以理解的是,这多个包装箱可能正好是第一源仓位中的可移动库存中的所有包装箱,也可能是第一源仓位中的可移动库存中的几个包装箱,甚至是一个,这都是合理的。
在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,为了保证第一目的仓位的寿命不受损害,可选地,整理任务生成子模块1003,具体用于根据所述库存信息,确定所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积和重量;从所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中,选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积,并且总重量不大于所述第一目的仓位的剩余容纳重量的多个包装箱。
可选地,第一判断模块103还可以包括:第一删除子模块1004,用于在所述第二判断子模块1002获得的判断结果为否的情况下,将所述第一目的仓位从所述目的仓位集中删除。
如果源仓位集中不存在第一源仓位,说明源仓位集中不存在可以整理至第一目的仓位的物料,因此,需要将第一目的仓位从目的仓位集中删除,以避免重复针对该第一目的仓位生成物料整理任务,造成资源浪费。
本实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置,基于预先存储的目标仓库的库存信息,在接收到目标区域整理指令后,可以自动生成针对目标区域的物料整理任务,而不需要人工到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位生成物料整理任务。与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短生成物料整理任务的时间,大幅提高了物料整理任务的生成效率,进而大幅提高了目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于免去了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
可选地,图9所示的实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置,还可以包括:第二判断模块和第一删除模块,
第二判断模块,用于在触发所述第一判断模块903前,判断各目的仓位所在货架已存储物料的重量是否超过第四阈值;若为是,触发所述第一删除模块;否则,直接出发所述第一判断模块903。
其中,所述第四阈值为不大于该目的仓位所在货架的最大承重量的值。
第一删除模块,用于将该目的仓位从所述目的仓位集中删除,并触发所述第一判断模块903。
可以看出,本实施例在生成物料整理任务时,还考虑了目的仓位所在货架的最大承重量,当某一目的仓位所在货架已存储物料的重量超过第四阈值时,则不向该目的仓位上继续放置物料,可以避免对该目的仓位所在货架的寿命造成损害。
可选地,本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置,还可以包括:
第一触发模块,用于重复触发所述选择子模块1001、所述第二判断子模块1002和所述整理任务生成子模块1003,生成多项物料整理任务。
具体的,在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,如图10所示,当第一判断模块包括:选择子模块1001、所述第二判断子模块1002和所述整理任务生成子模块1003时,直接触发所述第一触发模块。
具体的,在本申请实施例的一种具体实施方式中,如图10所示,当第一判断模块还包括:第一删除子模块1004时,所述装置还包括:
第三判断模块,用于判断所述目的仓位集是否为空,若为否,再触发所述第一触发模块;若为是,结束。
可以理解的,重复触发模块1001至1004,直至目的仓位集为空,意味着目标区域内不再存在可接收待整理物料的目的仓位,针对目标区域的物料整理任务已全部生成,可以结束针对目标区域的物料整理任务生成过程。
请参考图11,图中示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置。如图11所示,该装置包括:指令接收模块1101、仓位划分模块1102、选择子模块1103、第二判断子模块1104、整理任务生成子模块1105、第四判断模块1106、第二删除模块1107、第五判断模块1108、第一触发模块1109和更新模块1110。
指令接收模块1101,用于接收针对目标仓库的目标区域整理指令,所述指令中包括至少一个货架编号;
仓位划分模块1102,用于根据预先存储的所述目标仓库的库存信息,将所述指令中各货架编号对应的仓位划分至目的仓位集和源仓位集;
需要说明的是,模块1101和1102执行的内容,分别与图9中的模块901和902对应一致,因此,本实施例中不再对模块1101和1102进行详细描述。
选择子模块1103,用于从所述目的仓位集中任选一个仓位作为第一目的仓位,并计算所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积;
第二判断子模块1104,用于判断所述源仓位集中是否存在第一源仓位;若为是触发整理任务生成模块1105;若为否,触发第二删除模块1107;
其中,所述第一源仓位与所述第一目的仓位的存储类型相同,并且所述 第一源仓位的可移动库存中存在体积小于所述剩余体积的至少一个包装箱;
整理任务生成子模块1105,用于根据所述库存信息,确定出所述第一源仓位的可移动库存中的所有包装箱的体积;从所述可移动库存中,选出总体积不大于所述剩余体积的多个包装箱;将所述多个包装箱作为待整理包装箱,并生成将所述多个包装箱从所述第一源仓位移动至所述第一目的仓位的物料整理任务;
需要说明的是,模块1103、1104和1105执行的内容,与图10所示的子模块1001至1003一一对应相同,因此,本实施例中不再对模块1103、1104和1105进行详细描述。
第四判断模块1106,用于判断所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积与从第一源仓位中选出的所述待整理包装箱的总体积的差是否小于第三阈值;若为是,触发第二删除模块1107,若为否,触发更新模块1110;
其中,第三阈值是根据该目的仓位的存储类型设定的,一般情况下,第三阈值为该仓位能够存储的物料对应的最小包装箱的体积,当然也可以根据经验设定。
第二删除模块1107,用于将所述第一目的仓位从所述目的仓位集中删除;
第五判断模块1108,用于判断所述目的仓位集是否为空,如果否,触发所述第一触发模块1109;如果是,结束。
由于当目的仓位集为空时,说明不再需要对目标区域进行物料整理,因此,只有在目的仓位集不为空的情况下,才有必要进一步触发第一触发模块1109,以生成多项物料整理任务。
第一触发模块1109,用于触发所述选择模块1103、所述第二判断模块1104和所述整理任务生成模块1105,以生成多项物料整理任务。
更新模块1110,用于在所述第二判断模块获得的判断结果为否的情况下,根据所述剩余体积与所述待整理包装箱的总体积的差,更新所述第一目的仓位的剩余体积,并触发所述第二判断子模块1104。
具体的,将所述第一目的仓位剩余体积的大小,更新为选择子模块1103 中计算获得的所述剩余体积,与整理任务生成子模块1105中选出的所述多个包装箱的总体积的差的大小。
本实施例提供的一种物料整理整理任务生成装置,基于预先存储的目标仓库的库存信息,在接收到目标区域整理指令后,可以自动生成针对目标区域的物料整理任务,而不需要人工到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位生成物料整理任务。与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短生成物料整理任务的时间,大幅提高了物料整理任务的生成效率,进而大幅提高了目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于免去了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
请参考图12,图12示出了本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置。如图12所示该装置包括:指令接收模块1201、仓位划分模块1202、选择子模块1203、第二判断子模块1204、整理任务生成子模块1205、第六判断模块1206、第三删除模块1207、第七判断模块1208和第一触发模块1209。
其中,模块1201至1205所执行的具体内容与图11中所示的模块1101至1105一一对应相同,因此,本实施例中不再重复描述。
第六判断模块1206,用于在触发所述第一触发模块前,判断所述第一源仓位的可移动库存是否还有剩余;若为是,触发所述第一触发模块1209;若为否,触发所述第三删除模块1207;
第三删除模块1207,用于将所述第一源仓位从所述源仓位集中删除;
第七判断模块1208,用于判断所述源仓位集是否为空;若为是,结束;若为否触发所述第一触发模块1209;
由于当源仓位集为空时,说明目标区域中没有需要整理的物料,因此,只有在源仓位集不为空的情况下,才有触发第一触发模块1209的必要。
第一触发模块1209,用于触发选择子模块1203、第二判断子模块1204和整理任务生成子模块1205,以生成多项物料整理任务。
本实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置,基于预先存储的目标仓库 的库存信息,在接收到目标区域整理指令后,可以自动生成针对目标区域的物料整理任务,而不需要人工到仓库内部逐一查看各仓位生成物料整理任务。与相关技术相比,可以大幅缩短生成物料整理任务的时间,大幅提高了物料整理任务的生成效率,进而大幅提高了目标仓库的物料整理效率,最终提高了仓储管理的效率;另外,由于免去了人工操作,因此还可以降低仓储管理的成本。
可选地,本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理任务生成装置,还可以包括:合并模块。
所述合并模块,用于将源仓位对应的货架编号和目的仓位对应的货架编号均相同的多项物料整理任务,合并至同一项物料整理任务中;

或者,所述合并模块,用于将目的仓位对应的货架编号相同的多项物料整理任务,合并至同一项物料整理任务中。
不难理解,由于本申请实施例将采用机器人进行物料整理,因此,将源仓位对应的货架编号和/或目的仓位对应的货架编号相同的物料整理任务进行合并后,机器人搬运一次货架,可以完成更多的物料整理任务,避免机器人多次重复搬运相同货架造成资源浪费。
下面对本申请实施例提供的一种物料整理装置进行说明。

对于装置实施例而言,由于其基本相似于方法实施例,所以描述的比较简任务,相关之处参见方法实施例的部分说明即可。
本申请还提供了一种应用程序,所述应用程序用于在运行时执行本申请实施例提供的物料整理任务生成方法,或者,执行本申请实施例提供的物料整理方法。
其中,物料整理任务生成方法可以包括:
