The functions provided within the components and 'parts' may be combined into a smaller number of components and 'parts' or may be further separated into additional components and 'parts'. Additionally, components and 'parts' may be implemented to regenerate one or more CPUs within a device or a secure multimedia card.

Referring to FIG. 1, the internal components of the electronic device 100 are not limited to only the components shown. The electronic device 100 may include at least one of a processor 110, a transceiver 120, and a memory 130.

The electronic device according to embodiments schedules and picks the picking tasks of the picking workers performing the picking task so that quick and efficient picking of the item can be performed in response to the order of the item within the distribution center. You can determine the picking order of the items. That is, the electronic device according to embodiments may perform an item picking information management method in order to determine the order of picking tasks for items performed within a distribution center and to arrange picking workers in charge of picking tasks.

Picking, as described herein, may mean, for example, confirming an order related to the purchase of a specific item from an orderer, then searching and searching for the item within a logistics center and preparing for delivery of the item. . For example, when the electronic device or server according to embodiments confirms an order related to the purchase of an item from the orderer's terminal, the electronic device or server determines the SKU (SKU), which is an item storage unit in which the item is stored in a specific distribution center. After checking the Stock Keeping Unit, you can enter the delivery process for the corresponding SKU. The process from checking the order information of an item until it is shipped from the logistics center can be called the picking process.

The picking process within a distribution center may be performed by a combination of one or more picking processes, where the picking process is divided into, for example, an area or sector (e.g., a floor) of the distribution center. floor) or areas (areas or sectors divided for each area, zones or sectors divided according to the purpose of the item, zones or sectors divided according to the storage method of the item, etc.) may exist to correspond to each other. For example, a distribution center may have one or more picking processes associated with items that must be kept fresh, one or more picking processes associated with item(s) for high-order items, and one or more picking processes associated with items that require refrigerated storage. It may include etc.

Each picking process may be assigned one or more picking workers (i.e., pickers). Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may schedule the picking tasks of one or more workers assigned to the picking process, and may assign a specific picking worker to one or more picking processes to determine the workload of each picking worker and the picking target SKU(s). can also be determined and confirmed.

Meanwhile, electronic devices according to embodiments may perform multi-streaming delivery, in which multiple items are packaged and delivered at once in one delivery unit (shipment). Additionally, in order to perform the above-described multi-streaming delivery, the electronic device according to the embodiments must check information on various items to be occupied within one delivery unit and the storage locations of each item in the distribution center. do.

At this time, in the case of multi-streaming delivery, in which several items are packaged and delivered at once in one delivery unit (shipment), the rebin operation of placing all items in the packaging of a fixed delivery unit is performed. Delivery can begin only after completion. If there is a delay in picking even one item (i.e., if only a specific item is occupied or a specific item remains unoccupied), the delivery start schedule for the item may be disrupted.

Furthermore, problems may arise if the picking task for the SKU of the item is simply assigned to a surplus picking worker as soon as the order for the item is received. This is because, while orders for items may occur irregularly and it is difficult to easily predict the order quantity of an item, the location where the item is stored within the distribution center, that is, the location(s) of the SKU, is fixed. Therefore, if the picking task is assigned to each picking process or each picking worker as orders come in, inefficient picking movements of picking workers may occur, which may reduce the efficiency of the picking task. This can be especially problematic when performing multi-streaming delivery.

Therefore, the electronic device according to embodiments includes picking schedule information for determining and adjusting the order of the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) to be picked for each picking process or each picking operator(s). You can create, view, and update information. Picking schedule information may include, for example, one or more detailed picking schedule information indicating the order of unit shipments or SKUs to be picked for each picking process or each picking worker. there is.

Accordingly, the processor 110 according to embodiments includes the following steps: checking unit delivery information (shipment information) generated based on the customer's order; Allocating one or more items included in the unit delivery information; Confirming one or more stock keeping units (SKUs) corresponding to the one or more items; Determining picking schedule information to which the one or more SKUs will be assigned based on the location information of the one or more SKUs; and providing information about the picking schedule information to which the one or more SKUs are assigned to a picking worker. can be performed.

Electronic devices according to embodiments can increase the work efficiency of picking workers who perform picking work within a logistics center through these operations.

Furthermore, the electronic device according to the embodiments can perform multi-streaming delivery efficiently and without delay through this operation, thereby providing a fast delivery service to customers.

Programs or computer-readable instructions executed by the processor 110 may be pre-stored in the memory 130 or may be received from the outside through the transceiver 120. The processor 110 may provide the first page to the display of the electronic device 100.

The transceiver 120 has a function of transmitting information stored in the memory 130 of the electronic device 100 or information processed by the processor 110 to another device, or receiving information from another device to the electronic device 100. It can be done.

The memory 130 is a component implemented in a predetermined storage space of the electronic device 100 and may include a database in which functions such as storing, searching, deleting, editing, or adding data can be freely performed. there is. For example, the memory 130 may include fields or components for processing functions such as storing, searching, deleting, editing, or adding data. The memory 130 may store data related to the electronic device 100 performing an information provision method. For example, the memory 130 may store instructions or data for execution of the processor 110. The memory 130 according to embodiments may include a database for storing information about items, etc.

Throughout the embodiment, the picker can go to the location where the item to be shipped in response to the order is displayed (stowing) and pick the SKU corresponding to the item, and the picked SKU moves to the packing process for packaging or is picked. You can go through a rebin process to pack SKUs all at once. The rebin process places SKUs corresponding to the same order in a rebin cell, and if all SKUs corresponding to the order are located in the rebin cell, the packer can pack the SKUs in the rebin cell.

Hereinafter, examples of operations of electronic devices according to embodiments will be described in detail.

The electronic device according to embodiments includes picking schedule information (picking schedule information) for determining and adjusting the order of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) to be picked for each picking process or each picking operator (picker)(s). schedule information) information can be created, viewed, and updated. In an embodiment, picking schedule information may be assigned to a picker, and a picker to which picking schedule information is assigned may pick the SKU included in the picking schedule information. Throughout the embodiment, the picking schedule information may be updated while the picker is performing picking, and this may be performed by considering the picker's movement route and picking efficiency based on the picker's watch and the location of the additionally picked SKU.

Figure 2 shows picking schedule information including a plurality of detailed picking schedule information (200a to 200c) according to embodiments. Picking schedule information is, for example, one or more detailed picking schedule information (200a to 200c) indicating the order of unit shipments or SKUs to be picked for each picking process or each picking worker. May contain information.

The electronic device according to embodiments may check delivery units according to the orders of the orderer, and perform each or a plurality of picking processes corresponding to the distribution center based on the types and quantities of items included in the delivery units. Detailed picking schedule information (200a to 200c) according to embodiments for assignment to each picking worker can be created/updated. Additionally, electronic devices according to embodiments. The created/updated detailed picking schedule information can be assigned to a specific picking process and specific picking operator(s).

For example, looking at FIG. 2, an electronic device according to embodiments may confirm five delivery unit tasks (shipment 1 to shipment 5). For example, a delivery unit may include an item ordered by one orderer or a plurality of items ordered by one orderer (which may be the same items or a set of different items). Additionally, an item corresponding to one delivery unit may be packaged in a single packaging material depending on the embodiment, but is not limited thereto, and may also be packaged in a plurality of packaging materials. Picking, rebinding, and packing can be performed across distribution centers based on delivery units.

Referring to FIG. 2, if the order information (first delivery unit, shipment 1, 201) ordered by the first orderer is checked and includes the first item and the second item, the second item corresponding to the first item Create first detailed picking schedule information (picking

sub-queue

1, 200a) to be assigned to the picking process (or picking workers) responsible for picking 1 SKU, and add the first delivery unit (picking

sub-queue

1, 200a) described above in the first detailed picking schedule information. 201) can be added. Likewise, the electronic device generates second detailed picking schedule information (picking sub-queue 2) to be assigned to the picking process (or picking workers) responsible for picking the second SKU corresponding to the second item, and performs the second detailed picking. The above-described first delivery unit 201 can be added to the schedule information.

Each delivery unit may include, for example, one or more items (or one or more SKUs). For example, the first delivery unit in FIG. 2 may include 4 A SKUs, 2 B SKUs, 3 C SKUs, 2 D SKUs, and 4 E SKUs, as shown in FIG. 3 .

Referring to Figure 2, similarly, order information ordered by the second orderer (second delivery unit, shipment 2) to order information ordered by the fifth orderer (fifth delivery unit, shipment 5) corresponding to the item. You can create one or more detailed picking schedule information to be assigned to the picking process responsible for picking for each SKU, or add delivery units.

Here, even if it is a delivery unit for which an order was placed first, the electronic device according to embodiments can check the locations of SKUs corresponding to each item within the distribution center, the locations of the SKUs and the positions of the picking workers, and each delivery. The order of delivery units (shipments) included in each detailed picking schedule information can be adjusted based on the type and quantity of items included in the unit information, delivery destination information, etc.

For example, in the second detailed picking schedule information 200b related to the picking of the second item, the quantity of the second item included in the fourth delivery unit may be small, and the fourth delivery unit may currently be in a delayed delivery state. Also, the delivery destination may be far away. In this case, in order for the fourth delivery unit to be quickly delivered to the customer, the picking order of the second SKU for the second item may be prioritized. Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may prioritize the order of the fourth delivery unit within the second detailed picking schedule information.

That is, the electronic device according to embodiments may adjust the order of a plurality of SKUs based on information about a plurality of SKUs corresponding to delivery units included in the picking schedule information (i.e., one or more detailed picking schedule information). there is. For example, the electronic device according to embodiments may include work information of one or more picking workers, locations of a plurality of SKUs included in the picking schedule information displayed in the distribution center, and quantities of items for the plurality of SKUs. Based on the information, the order of a plurality of SKUs included in the picking schedule information can be adjusted.

Meanwhile, in the picking method according to the multi-streaming picking method according to embodiments, the electronic device can proceed with the delivery procedure only when all picking of a plurality of items in one unit shipment is completed. Therefore, if picking of any one of the plurality of items in one unit delivery is not completed and is delayed, the delivery procedure for the entire unit delivery may be delayed. Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may check lead time information for each unit shipment included in the picking schedule information and/or detailed picking schedule information according to embodiments. Here, lead time information for delivery may be referred to as delivery unit lead time information. Electronic devices according to embodiments can prevent delays in picking of each unit by adjusting the order of the delivery unit(s) using shipment lead time information, and can prevent the expected shipment from being delayed. The phenomenon of time passing can be prevented in advance.

In addition, the electronic device according to the embodiments checks the above-described delivery unit lead time information and optimizes the picking route and/or adjusts the picking method based on the information to determine the shipment for which picking is in progress. The picking process can be managed to avoid unnecessary delays.

For example, in the case of a delivery unit whose delivery lead time has elapsed, the electronic device according to the embodiments may be configured so that each item within the unit delivery is Pickers and/or picking processes can be assigned so that picking is performed individually.

Also, for example, the electronic device according to embodiments may determine whether the picking procedure for unit shipments output by the picking schedule information and/or detailed picking schedule information is in progress and information on the time elapsed from the start of the picking procedure. You can. The electronic device checks the elapsed time from the start of the picking procedure for each unit delivery, and if the elapsed time is more than a certain time (i.e., when the picking of the unit delivery is delayed or in progress for a long period of time), in the embodiments Accordingly, the author's device is set to a high priority in the picking schedule information so that the picking of the corresponding unit delivery can be processed first (for example, as shown in Figure 5, the urgency information of the corresponding unit delivery is set to 'Urgent' etc.) can be done.

Specifically, FIG. 3 shows that an electronic device according to embodiments performs picking by one or

more picking workers

302a and 302b in a picking process based on the above-described picking schedule information (or one or more detailed picking schedule information) information. Indicates a method of coordinating the order or picking schedule.

Referring to FIG. 3, 300 is order information confirmed from the customer's terminal and represents one unit shipment. For example, referring to 300 in FIG. 3, unit delivery of 300 may include 4 A SKUs, 2 B SKUs, 3 C SKUs, 2 D SKUs, and 4 E SKUs. According to the unit delivery of 300 included in the order information, the electronic devices according to embodiments include 4 A SKUs, 2 B SKUs, 3 C SKUs, 2 D SKUs, and 4 E SKUs in each distribution center. It is possible to control the pickers assigned to each SKU to pick them at the location of each SKU. When the assigned pickers pick each SKU, the electronic device can control the assigned pickers to perform the above-described lift procedure for the corresponding unit delivery. The electronic device according to embodiments may perform a rebin procedure. For example, the electronic device may specify a rebin cell 303 used in the rebin procedure of the delivery unit described above, and Pickers can be controlled to ensure that the selected SKUs are occupied.

Electronic devices according to embodiments, when one delivery unit (shipment) 300 is confirmed, specify SKUs to be delivered and picked in the corresponding delivery unit, and pick workers 302a, who will process the picking of the specified SKUs. 302b) and/or a picking process may be selected. The electronic device according to embodiments may generate picking pool (301) information that manages the above-described specified SKUs to be picked by the selected picking workers (302a, 302b) and/or picking processes. The picking pool 301 information may include information indicating the status of selected picking

workers

302a and 302b or SKUs to be picked in the picking process.

Referring to FIG. 3, unit delivery of 300 includes 4 A SKUs, 2 B SKUs, 3 C SKUs, 2 D SKUs, and 4 E SKUs, and the electronic device includes a first picking worker 302a, The second picking worker 302b can be assigned to the picking workers of the corresponding unit delivery, and the authority to pick the corresponding unit delivery can be granted to the workers.

Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device according to embodiments may generate picking schedule information including detailed picking schedule information (302a-1, 302a-2) corresponding to each picking worker (302a, 302b). there is. Electronic devices according to embodiments may adjust the order of SKUs included in detailed picking schedule information 302a-1 and 302a-2. The electronic device according to embodiments may adjust the order of SKUs included in the detailed picking schedule information and deliver the adjusted results to each picking worker, and the picking workers may select the SKU first out from the detailed picking schedule information. After moving to the location of the SKUs in the distribution center in order to perform picking, they can be placed in the picking cell 303 to perform the rebin procedure.

Specifically, Figure 4 shows picking schedule information (one or more detailed picking schedule information (400a, 400b) included therein) according to the embodiments described in Figures 2 and 3. For example, referring to FIG. 4, picking schedule information according to embodiments includes scheduling size information 400 that limits the size of each of the detailed

picking schedule information

400a and 400b included in the picking schedule information. may include. Scheduling size information may mean, for example, an upper limit of SKUs or delivery units (shipment) that can be occupied for picking by a picking process or one or more picking workers in a distribution center.

Here, the size of scheduling size information, that is, detailed picking schedule information (picking schedule information), may be temporarily increased based on the start of processing of one or more of the plurality of SKUs included in the picking schedule information. For example, the scheduling size information may be started to be processed by, for example, one or more of the plurality of SKUs being occupied by at least one packaging cell, and the scheduling size information according to embodiments may be temporarily stored as much as the size of the SKU for which processing has been started. It can increase.

Meanwhile, picking schedule information or detailed picking schedule information may be set identically or differently for each picking process or for each one or more workers. Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may flexibly adjust the size of each picking schedule information or detailed picking schedule information for each picking process or for each one or more workers.

For example, the electronic device according to embodiments includes the number of picking workers assigned to picking schedule information or detailed picking schedule information, work efficiency information of each picking worker, and picking schedule information (or detailed picking schedule information). Based on the location where SKUs (or items included in unit delivery) are stored in the distribution center (for example, the number of storage floors or areas of the SKU, etc.), the picking schedule information 400a or the detailed picking schedule information ( The size (400) of 400b) can be set.

Also, for example, the electronic device according to embodiments may further adjust the order of a plurality of SKUs included in the detailed picking schedule information based on occupancy time information of the item currently occupying the packaging cells. For example, if the first unit delivery includes a 1st SKU corresponding to the first item to a 3rd SKU corresponding to the third item, one of them, the 3rd SKU, is in the cell where the delivery procedure for the first unit delivery is initiated ( If a cell is occupied for more than a certain time, it is necessary to prioritize the picking order of the 1st SKU and 2nd SKU, excluding the 3rd SKU.

However, if the first SKU and the second SKU are included in other unit deliveries in addition to the first unit delivery, the picking procedure for the first SKU and the second SKU may be initiated preferentially in the amount for the other unit delivery. Therefore, so that the third SKU included in the first unit delivery is not left in a specific cell for a long time, the electronic device according to embodiments is configured to preferentially pick other unit deliveries including the first SKU and the second SKU. You can adjust the order of detailed picking schedule information.

In other words, in summary, the electronic device according to the embodiments can identify an item that occupies a specific cell for more than a specific time for packaging. Afterwards, the electronic device can check the unit shipment corresponding to the cell and check other SKUs included in the unit shipment. Thereafter, the electronic device may adjust the order of the picking schedule information so that other unit shipments including different confirmed SKUs can be preferentially selected within the picking schedule information.

With this configuration, the electronic device can prevent the problem of a specific item being left in a specific cell for a long period of time in order to perform a multi-streaming delivery service. Additionally, the electronic device can prevent serial delays in specific unit delivery tasks and significantly reduce the number of cells left occupied.

The electronic device according to embodiments may confirm unit delivery from incoming order information, check information on the item(s) or SKU(s) included in the unit delivery, and then select each of the confirmed items or SKUs. After checking the detailed picking schedule information, you can insert information about the confirmed item(s) or SKU(s) into each detailed picking schedule information.

Scheduling size information according to embodiments may temporarily increase, for example, depending on whether the unit delivery 401(s) stored in the picking schedule information (or detailed picking schedule information) is currently in progress of picking. For example, referring to FIG. 4, in the first detailed picking schedule information 400a, SKU(s) corresponding to Shipment 1-5 and SKU(s) corresponding to Shipment 6-10 are currently selected by one or more workers. When picking is in progress through Tote 1 (402a), the size of the first detailed picking schedule information (400a) is temporarily equal to the size of the first tote (402a) or the size of the SKU(s) for which picking is in progress. It can increase in size. For example, referring to FIG. 4, in the second detailed picking schedule information 400b, the SKU(s) corresponding to Shipment 16-20 and the SKU(s) corresponding to Shipment 1-5 are currently selected by one or more workers. When picking is in progress through the third tote (Tote 3) 402b, the size of the second detailed picking schedule information (400b) is temporarily equal to the size of the third tote (402b) or the SKU(s) for which picking is in progress. It can increase by the size of . (Tote may mean/include, for example, an interchange or related device used by a picking worker to pick items)

Meanwhile, scheduling size information 400 according to embodiments may be determined based on the number of picking workers assigned to each detailed picking schedule information included in the queue information and the size of the tote used by each worker. . For example, if the number of picking workers assigned to the detailed picking schedule information is 5, and the tote size available to each picking worker is to pick 5 SKU unit sizes, 25 SKU unit sizes can be picked. can do. However, if the number of picking workers assigned to the detailed picking schedule information is more than 5 or the tote size available for each picking worker is larger than the 5 SKU unit size, the tote size greater than the 25 SKU unit size is Since the SKU unit size can be picked, in this case the upper limit of the scheduling size information can be set higher.

Specifically, Figure 5 shows a method by which an electronic device according to embodiments determines the order of SKUs (or unit deliveries 501) included in one detailed picking schedule information 500, in which each SKU or unit It shows a method of determining the order of deliveries based on the urgency information 502a.

The electronic device according to embodiments may check the urgency information of unit delivery corresponding to the order information from the incoming order information. Urgency information may mean, for example, information indicating how urgent it is to deliver the unit corresponding to the order. For example, the first type indicates 'Urgent' and 'Normal'. It may include the second type that represents.

Urgency information according to embodiments includes, for example, the location of the orderer, information about the item ordered by the orderer (e.g., expiration date information of the item, storage period information of the item in the distribution center, information about the item ordered by the orderer, It may be determined based on the order information of the item, the order quantity information of the item, or it may be determined by the system or the manager. For example, if the orderer's location is far from the distribution center or in an island area, if the expiration date or lead time of the item is near, or if the storage period of the item within the distribution center has become longer. In this case, the urgency information of the item may be set to urgent.

Here, the electronic device according to embodiments may also set urgency information 502a for the unit delivery 501, and the information 502a for the unit delivery is urgency information for the items included in the unit delivery. It can be decided based on.

For example, in the electronic device according to embodiments, if the urgency information of at least one item (SKU) among the items (SKUs) included in the unit delivery (shipment) 501 is set to 'urgent', Urgency information 502a for the corresponding unit delivery 501 may be set 503 to 'urgent'. This is because items whose urgency is set to ‘urgent’ are items that must be delivered to the orderer as soon as possible, so items that are packaged and delivered together with the item must be picked quickly.

Additionally, the electronic device according to embodiments may adjust the order in the detailed picking schedule information so that when the urgency information for the unit delivery is set to 'urgent', the corresponding unit delivery 503 is picked preferentially. For example, in the case of FIG. 5, the unit delivery(s) 503 corresponding to Shipment 16-20 may be selected first out because the urgency information is set to 'urgent'. The electronic device according to embodiments may adjust the order of SKUs in detailed picking schedule information based on urgency information for unit deliveries, and use the adjusted detailed picking schedule information to process the picking process assigned to the detailed picking schedule information. Alternatively, it can be provided to picking workers.

Meanwhile, in the picking method according to the multi-streaming picking method according to embodiments, the electronic device can proceed with the delivery procedure only when all picking of a plurality of items in one unit shipment is completed. Therefore, if picking of any one of the plurality of items in one unit delivery is not completed and is delayed, the delivery procedure for the entire unit delivery may be delayed. Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may check lead time information for each unit shipment included in the picking schedule information and/or detailed picking schedule information according to embodiments. Here, the lead time information for delivery may be referred to as shipment lead time information. The lead time information for unit delivery may be, for example, all information from the start of picking of the unit delivery. It may refer to the estimated or allocated time required for the picking of items to be completed. Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may control one or more picking processes and/or pickers to pick all items in the unit delivery until the lead time for the unit delivery elapses. You can.

Electronic devices according to embodiments may check lead time information for a plurality of unit shipments for which a picking procedure is being performed within a distribution center. The electronic device may determine a picking method for items in each unit delivery based on the lead time and current time information of each unit delivery (eg, based on the time remaining until the end of the lead time, etc.).

For example, when the lead time for specific unit deliveries is about to elapse (i.e., when the current time and the elapse of the lead time are within a certain time period), the electronic device according to embodiments may provide a movement line for picking items. It can be reset, separate one moving line into multiple moving lines, or create a new moving line. Here, the electronic device may select pickers or picking processes according to embodiments to which separated or newly created movement lines are to be assigned, and may allocate the corresponding movement lines to the selected pickers and/or picking processes.

With this configuration, the electronic device according to the embodiments can prevent the picking of each unit delivery from being delayed and prevent the expected delivery time from elapsed in advance. In addition, the electronic device according to the embodiments checks the above-described delivery unit lead time information and optimizes the picking route and/or adjusts the picking method based on the information to determine the shipment for which picking is in progress. The picking process can be managed to avoid unnecessary delays.

In addition, in the case of a delivery unit whose delivery lead time has elapsed, the electronic device according to embodiments allows each item within the unit delivery to be individually processed rather than optimizing the picking route(s) according to the embodiments. For picking to be performed, pickers and/or picking processes may be assigned.

Furthermore, the electronic device according to embodiments may check whether the picking procedure for unit shipments output based on the picking schedule information and/or detailed picking schedule information is in progress and information on the time elapsed from the start of the picking procedure. . The electronic device checks the elapsed time from the start of the picking procedure for each unit delivery, and if the elapsed time is more than a certain time (i.e., when the picking of the unit delivery is delayed or in progress for a long period of time), in the embodiments Accordingly, the author's device is set to a high priority in the picking schedule information so that the picking of the corresponding unit delivery can be processed first (for example, as shown in Figure 5, the urgency information of the corresponding unit delivery is set to 'Urgent' etc.) can be done.

Additionally, through this operation, the electronic device according to the embodiments can effectively manage the items in the distribution center, reduce the cost of disposing of the items, and maximize the efficiency of the picking operation.

For example, if the picking process assigned to the detailed picking schedule information 600 or the work location of the picking workers is the 3rd floor (or a specific area) in the distribution center, the electronic device starts from the 3rd floor and follows the minimum movement path (602c). ) can be adjusted to prioritize unit deliveries containing SKUs that can be moved. For example, the electronic device may instruct one or more picking workers (602b) to prioritize Shipment 3, which includes SKUs located on the 3rd floor of the distribution center among Shipments 1-5, and select the corresponding SKU of Shipment 3. You can plan your route based on where it is located. Next, the electronic device can guide the picking worker from the location where the corresponding SKU of Shipment 3 is located to the location of the SKU of Shipment 5, which can be moved within a short period of time. Next, the electronic device can guide the picking worker from the location where the corresponding SKU of Shipment 5 is located to the location of the SKU of Shipment 1, which can be moved within a short time. In this way, the electronic device according to embodiments can create a movement line 602c of picking workers who can quickly process a specific number of output unit deliveries within a short time.

The movement line 602c according to embodiments includes, for example, the number of picking workers assigned to the detailed picking schedule information, the loading capacity of the tote(s) used by each worker, the location of each worker, and each worker. It can be decided flexibly based on their work efficiency.

The movement line 602c of picking workers according to embodiments is, for example, a movement line generated by information indicating loading locations in a distribution center for one or more SKU(s) and a traversing algorithm (e.g., TSP algorithm). can be decided. For example, the electronic device according to embodiments may check order information of incoming customers and identify one delivery unit (shipment) to perform picking from picking schedule information optimized based on the order information. Thereafter, the electronic device can confirm the item(s) included in the confirmed delivery unit and can confirm location information within the distribution center for each item.

Specifically, Figure 9 shows unit delivery (shipment) information confirmed by order information in order to generate information about the picking task provided to pickers, and picking schedule information and/or detailed information according to embodiments. Indicates a method of assigning picking schedule information and assigning the assigned picking schedule information or detailed picking schedule information to pickers. Some or all of the operations shown in FIG. 9 may be performed by electronic devices according to embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 9 , an electronic device according to embodiments may perform some or all of steps 901 to 906 shown in FIG. 9 in response to an input 900 requesting a picking task by pickers.

Referring to FIG. 9, the electronic device according to embodiments may be controlled to set authority for the picking task of the picker based on requests related to updating the picking task of the pickers, and may assign and update the picking task. It is possible to control (901) the setting of authority for the picking operation. Afterwards, the electronic device according to embodiments may update or set information about the picking process to which the corresponding picker is assigned (902).

Meanwhile, in step 901, the electronic device according to embodiments may determine the order to insert (or whether to insert preferentially) into the picking schedule information based on the urgency information of the incoming unit delivery (e.g. , operations shown in Figure 6, etc.). Urgency information according to embodiments is a first type of picking schedule information that can be immediately inserted into the picking schedule information according to embodiments without holding unit delivery and updated to optimize the picking schedule information. A second type that can be inserted into picking schedule information(s) and updated to optimize the picking schedule information, where the ratio of unit shipments to maximum size is within a first range ratio, and the unit shipments to maximum size occupancy of the picking schedule information is within a first range ratio. The selected ratio may correspond to at least one of the third type, which can be inserted into the picking schedule information(s) within the second range ratio and updated to optimize the picking schedule information.

The electronic device according to embodiments may confirm the incoming unit shipment included in the order information and determine whether the incoming unit shipment can be assigned to the picker, that is, picking schedule information or details corresponding to the picker. It is possible to check (903) whether there is detailed picking schedule information that can be assigned among the picking schedule information(s). If there is currently ongoing detailed picking schedule information (Y), the above-described unit delivery can be assigned to the detailed picking schedule information, and the assigned detailed picking schedule information can be provided to the picker (904). . For example, step 904 performed by the electronic device may include some or all of the operations of steps 802 to 804 of FIG. 8 .

For example, step 905 performed by the electronic device may include some or all of the operations of step 805 of FIG. 8 .

The electronic device according to embodiments may provide the generated picking schedule information by selecting one or more of the pickers based on information about tasks assigned to the pickers. For example, if the category for unit shipments included in the generated picking schedule information is for fresh items, pickers in the picking process who pick SKUs related to fresh items or SKUs related to fresh items Priority can be assigned to pickers within the picking process area who are located close to the pickers. Accordingly, the electronic device according to embodiments may allocate (906) picking schedule information generated based on zone type information of the pickers or the picking process to one or more selected among the pickers. That is, the electronic device according to embodiments may determine (906) which picking process or picker(s) to assign the newly generated picking schedule information to.

For example, the electronic device according to embodiments may first check (906a) the zone type information of each picking process or each picker. For example, the picker's zone-type information means a category related to the picking operation set based on the category of the SKU that is the target of the picking operation performed by the picker. The electronic device according to embodiments checks the category of the SKU in the unit delivery information included in the information about the newly created picking schedule information, checks the zone-type information of the pickers or the picking process, and determines whether the category matches. Pickers or picking processes may be selected (906a). Afterwards, the electronic device according to embodiments may check the backlog of the selected pickers or picking processes and determine whether the corresponding pickers or picking processes are sufficiently capable of working (906b). Backlog represents, for example, the amount of picking tasks or information about the tasks that pickers or picking processes must process within a certain time. Next, the electronic device determines which of the pickers and/or picking processes with sufficient backlog will produce the highest density batch (i.e., highest work efficiency of the pickers or picking processes) when assigning the picking schedule information. Available pickers or picking processes can be identified (906c). Thereafter, the electronic device according to embodiments may add and insert the incoming unit delivery into the picking schedule information corresponding to the confirmed pickers or picking processes (906d). In this way, picking schedule information can be generated by combining the orders entered into the distribution center (906e).
