Abstract: The present disclosure provides an item picking method, so that an item stored in a warehouse can be picked and placed in a picking vehicle. Specifically, the warehouse may be divided into one or more picking areas. A picking management device may divide a picking task for items into different picking sub-tasks according to picking areas in which the items are located. One picking vehicle corresponds to several picking sub-tasks. The picking management device allocates an automated guided vehicle (AGV) for a picking sub-task, causing the AGV to move the picking vehicle to a picking area corresponding to the picking sub-task. The picking management device may send task information of the picking sub-task to a picking device corresponding to the picking area. The picking device executes the picking sub-task according to the task information, so as to pick an item and place the item in the picking vehicle, thereby implementing the automation of an item picking process.
