Abstract

A method for processing a warehouse order task, comprising: determining a production end time of an order to be processed; determining a production period of a batch task that the order to be processed belongs to; determining whether to issue the order to be processed to a picking pool according to the production end time and the production period; in response to determining not to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to a backlog quantity of orders to be outbound and an outbound productivity; and in response to determining to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to an order quantity of the batch task and a batch completion efficiency.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for processing a warehouse order task, performed by an electronic device, and comprising:
determining, according to order information in a warehouse management system, a production end time of an order to be processed and a production period of a batch task that the order to be processed belongs to; in response to the production end time not belonging to the production period, determining not to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to a backlog quantity of orders to be outbound and an outbound productivity; or in response to the production end time belonging to the production period, determining to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to an order quantity of the batch task and a batch completion efficiency, to automatically perform automatic task issuance and improve an intelligence and automation level of warehouse operations.

2 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining attribute information of an order fed back by a client, the attribute information comprising at least one of a manner of production, a production requirement, and a storage location encoding of an article in the order in a warehouse; and generating the order to be processed according to the attribute information.

3 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 1 , further comprising:
determining an order to be processed that is placed in a storage location and assigned to the picking pool as a first type order; determining an order to be processed that is placed in a storage location and not assigned to the picking pool as a second type order; and determining that a picking priority of the first type order is higher than a picking priority of the second type order.

4 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 1 , wherein determining not to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to a backlog quantity of orders to be outbound and an outbound productivity comprises:
determining a maximum quantity of reviewed orders; determining an assignable quantity according to the backlog quantity of orders to be outbound and the maximum quantity of the reviewed orders; and assigning the order to be processed to the picking terminal according to the assignable quantity and the outbound productivity.

5 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 1 , further comprising:
determining location information of a storage location where the picking terminal is located; predicting a picking path of the picking terminal according to the location information; and assigning the order to be processed of the picking path to the picking terminal.

6 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 4 , wherein assigning the order to be processed to the picking terminal according to the assignable quantity and the outbound productivity comprises:
determining a first quantity of the order to be processed of the storage location; determining whether the first quantity is less than or equal to the assignable quantity; in response to determining that the first quantity is less than or equal to the assignable quantity, assigning the order to be processed of the storage location to the picking terminal; in response to determining that the first quantity is greater than the assignable quantity, assigning the order to be processed to the picking terminal according to the production end time; in response to determining that the first quantity is greater than the assignable quantity, and production end times of a plurality of orders to be processed are the same, assigning the order to be processed to the picking terminal according to an article quantity in the order to be processed; and in response to determining that the first quantity is greater than the assignable amount, production end times of a plurality of orders to be processed are the same, and article quantities in a plurality of orders to be processed are the same, assigning the order to be processed to the picking terminal according to an order receiving time of the order to be processed.

7 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 4 , wherein determining to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to an order quantity of the batch task and the batch completion efficiency comprises:
determining a backlog quantity of the batch task; determining a duration of the batch task according to the production period; determining the batch completion efficiency according to a historical record of the batch task; determining a quantity of batch picking terminals required for performing the batch task according to the backlog quantity, the duration and the batch completion efficiency of the batch task; determining a quantity of all picking terminals in an idle state; determining a proportion between the quantity of the batch picking terminals and the quantity of all picking terminals; selecting a picking terminal in an idle state at intervals in a storage location channel as a batch picking terminal according to the proportion; and assigning the order to be processed to the batch picking terminal.

8 . The method for processing a warehouse order task according to claim 1 , wherein assigning the order to be processed to a picking terminal comprises:
determining picking attribute information of the order to be processed, where the picking attribute information comprising at least one of a storage location to be picked, an article name and an article quantity; and sending the picking attribute information to the picking terminal.

9 . An electronic device, comprising:
a memory; and a processor, coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to, based on an instruction stored in the memory, cause the electronic device to: determine, according to order information in a warehouse management system, a production end time of an order to be processed; and a production period of a batch task that the order to be processed belongs to; in response to the production end time not belonging to the production period, determine not to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assign the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to a backlog quantity of orders to be outbound and an outbound productivity; and in response to the production end time belonging to the production period, determine to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assign the order to be processed to a picking terminal according to an order quantity of the batch task and a batch completion efficiency, to automatically perform automatic task issuance and improve an intelligence and automation level of warehouse operations.

10 . A computer-readable storage medium, with a program stored thereon, wherein when the program is executed by a processor, a method for processing a warehouse order task is implemented; wherein the method comprises:
determining, according to order information in a warehouse management system, a production end time of an order to be processed; and a production period of a batch task that the order to be processed belongs to; in response to the production end time not belonging to the production period, determining not to issue the order to be processed to the picking pool, and assigning the order
