  • Publication number: 20240043216
    Abstract: This application provides a robot dispatching method and apparatus. According to the method of this application, a first robot is controlled to move to a second workstation and to place a required container of a second order to the second workstation after the first robot places a required container of a first order to the first workstation, so that the first robot can perform an operation of depositing containers across workstations during a single task of transporting containers. In this way, as many containers as possible can be placed on the workstations in the single task of transporting containers, which reduces times of retrieving and returning containers, thereby improving the overall efficiency and performance of an intelligent warehousing system.

  • Publication number: 20230376899
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a recommendation method and apparatus for recommending to enable/disable a workstation, an electronic device, and a warehousing system. to-be-processed order information is acquired for the warehousing system. The to-be-processed order information is used for representing to-be-processed orders in the system and a deadline corresponding to each of the to-be-processed orders, and each of the to-be-processed orders corresponds to at least one warehousing box. A target workstation number is generated according to the to-be-processed order information. The target workstation number is used for representing a number of workstations required for completing the corresponding to-be-processed order before the deadline. Information of enabling/disabling a workstation is determined according to the target workstation number, and the information of enabling/disabling the workstation is transmitted to a terminal device.

  • Publication number: 20230376898
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide an order processing method, apparatus, and device, a warehousing system, and a storage medium. The order processing method includes: obtaining a first order; and combining the first order with a second order, so that goods corresponding to the first order are placed in a slot corresponding to the second order, where the second order is an order being processed by a workstation. This implements order combination of the order being processed by the workstation, without occupying an additional slot of the workstation, thereby improving space utilization of a slot of the workstation and order processing efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230333562
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a warehousing robot control method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. In the method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a preset area is arranged near a workstation, and a throttling condition corresponding to the preset area is set. When the number of the robot in the preset area meets the throttling condition, a scheduling server sends an avoidance instruction to a warehousing robot that meets an avoidance condition, the avoidance instruction being used for indicating an operation of the warehousing robot that meets the avoidance condition stopping entering the preset area. If an avoidance instruction is received, a warehousing robot enters an avoidance state and stops moving toward a preset area of a workstation allocated to the warehousing robot. This can reduce the number of warehousing robots that wait near a workstation, thereby avoiding congestion near the workstation, and improving goods pick-and-place efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230289705
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a space allocation method and apparatus, a goods storage method and apparatus, a robot, and a warehousing system, where the space allocation method includes: determining, according to a space property of an unoccupied space of a goods storage space and a required space of to-be-stored goods, a first storage space adapted to the required space from the unoccupied space; allocating the first storage space to the to-be-stored goods; and sending a first storage instruction to a first robot, where the first storage instruction includes information about the first storage space. In this way, a proper space is dynamically allocated to goods according to a requirement and a space property, space utilization of a warehousing system is improved, and warehousing costs are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20230222442
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an order processing method, an outbound method, a device, a system, and a storage medium. A server obtains a slot capacity of each workstation and a preset virtual capacity, determines a to-be-processed order of each workstation according to the slot capacity and the virtual capacity, and generates an outbound instruction according to the to-be-processed order. A transfer device transfers goods in the to-be-processed order from the warehouse according to the outbound instruction.

  • Publication number: 20220284393
    Abstract: This application relates to a replenishment method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a replenishment order, and determining a mapping relationship between goods information of replenishment goods in the replenishment order and a storage space of a put wall, where the mapping relationship is used for instructing to correspondingly place target replenishment goods into a target storage space of the put wall; and determining a target inventory box corresponding to the target replenishment goods placed in the target storage space of the put wall, where the target inventory box is used for loading the target replenishment goods. The use of the method improves the replenishment efficiency.
