具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请作进一步的详细说明。可以理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施例仅用于解释本申请,而非对本申请的限定。为了便于描述,附图中仅示出了与本申请相关的部分而非全部结构。
为了更好地理解本申请实施例的技术方案,下面详细地提供了一种物品拣选系统。图1是本申请实施例中提供的一种物品拣选系统的结构示意图,参见图1,该系统100包括:机器人110、控制系统120、库存容器区130以及工作站140,库存容器区130设置有多个库存容器131,库存容器131上放置有多种库存物品,例如,如同在超市中见到的放置有多种商品的货架一样,多个库存容器131之间排布成阵列形式。通常,在库存容器区130的一侧可以设置有多个工作站140,机器人110可以为自驱动的机器人。在拣选场景中,工作站140也可称为订单拣选区。
控制系统120与机器人110进行无线通信,工作人员通过操作台160可以使控制系统120工作,机器人110在控制系统120的控制下,执行搬运库存容器的任务。其中,该库存容器可以包括货架和/或笼车等。例如,控制系统120根据任务为机器人110规划移动路径,机器人110根据移动路径沿库存容器阵列中的空着的空间(机器人110通行通道的一部分)行驶。为了方便为机器人110规划移动路径,预先将机器人110的工作区域(该工作区域包括库存容器区130以及工作站140所在区域)划分为多个子区域(即单元格),机器人110逐个子区域地进行移动从而形成移动轨迹。在一个示例中,机器人110能够根据摄像头拍摄到的二维码信息向前行驶,并且能够根据控制系统120确定的路线 行驶至控制系统120提示的库存容器131下面。机器人110将库存容器131搬运到工作站140,在工作站140处的拣货人员或拣选机器人从库存容器131上拣选物品。在一实施例中,库存容器131可以设置为存放一个或多个物品容器(或称为料箱),每个物品容器中可以放置物品。可以利用机器人110将该库存容器131搬运到工作站140,也可以利用机器人110将所需物品所在的物品容器搬运到工作站140,具体可以根据实际情况而设置机器人110搬运的对象。
控制系统120为在服务器上运行的、具有数据存储、信息处理能力的软件系统,可通过无线或有线与机器人、硬件输入系统、其它软件系统连接。控制系统120可以包括一个或多个服务器,可以为集中式控制架构或者分布式计算架构。服务器包括处理器121和存储器122,在存储器122中包括订单池123。
以图1中所示的物品拣选系统为例,相关技术中,在从库存容器中拣选物品的情况下,可以采用机器人将库存容器搬运到工作站,虽然通过机器人搬运库存容器到工作站能够有效地节省拣选人员的行走时间,然而在工作站进行拣选物品时,却需要人工操作对盛放物品的容器以及物品进行人工扫码,从而导致在拣选操作环节的拣选效率非常低。因此,需要对拣选物品的方式进行改进,以提高在仓储物流行业的拣选操作环节的拣选操作效率。
下面针对本申请实施例中提供的仓储管理系统及方法,通过多个实施例进行详细阐述。
图2是本申请实施例中提供的一种仓储管理系统的结构示意图,本实施例的技术方案可适用于在拣选、包装复核、上架等多个操作环节的情况,用以提升在多个操作环节的人工作业效率,该系统可实现本申请任意实施例中所提供的仓储管理方法。如图2所示,本申请实施例中提供的仓储管理系统200包括:至少一个拣选容器210、至少一个播种设备220以及管理服务器230;在一实施例中,至少一个拣选容器210中放置有多个库存物品,多个库存物品上均设置有物品射频标签,在拣选容器210为多个的情况下,多个拣选容器210上均设置有容器射频标签,每一个播种设备220上设置有至少一个播种位,且每一个播种位上设置有第一射频读取器;其中:
第一射频读取器配置为,在目标订单任务所需的目标拣选容器210被放置到目标播种设备220上的第一射频读取器所在的目标播种位的情况下,读取目 标拣选容器210上的容器射频标签,并将读取到的目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签发送给管理服务器230;
管理服务器230配置为,依据第一射频读取器读取到的目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签,确定目标拣选容器210的容器信息,并记录目标拣选容器210的容器信息、目标播种位与目标订单任务三者之间的绑定关系;
第一射频读取器还配置为,在目标订单任务所需要的目标库存物品放置到目标拣选容器210的情况下,读取目标库存物品上携带的物品射频标签,并将读取到的目标库存物品的物品射频标签发送给管理服务器230;
管理服务器230还配置为,将目标库存物品的物品射频标签与目标拣选容器的容器射频标签进行关联,并确定目标拣选容器210中已有的目标库存物品是否与目标订单任务所需的目标库存物品一致。
在一实施例中,拣选容器210可以理解为订单容器,即与订单任务对应的放置订单任务所需物品的容器。相应的,目标拣选容器210可以理解立即为目标订单容器。
在本实施例中,图3是本申请实施例中提供的一种仓储管理系统中播种设备的结构示意图。参见图3,对于仓储管理系统的每一播种设备220而言,每一个播种设备220上可以包括多个播种位240,且在每一个播种位240上可以设置有对应的第一射频读取器250。可选地,播种设备220为播种墙。对于每一播种设备220而言,在播种设备220的每一个播种位240上可以放置拣选容器210,每个拣选容器210上可以设置有容器射频标签260。可选地,容器射频标签260可以采用射频识别(Radio Frequency Identification,RFID)标签,第一射频读取器250可以采用RFID读码器。
在本实施例中,目标订单任务中可以包含物品拣选信息,该物品拣选信息用于指示需要拣选的物品。目标库存物品为目标订单任务所指示的需要进行拣选的物品。目标拣选容器设置为盛放目标订单任务所指示的目标库存物品。
在本实施例中,目标播种设备是指用于放置目标拣选容器的播种设备,目标播种位是指目标播种设备上用于放置目标拣选容器的播种位。目标播种设备以及目标播种设备上的目标播种位可以根据目标订单任务的分配位置进行确定,例如将目标订单任务分配某一播种设备后,可以将分配有目标订单任务的播种 设备作为目标播种设备,并将目标订单任务具体在目标播种设备上的播种位作为目标播种位。
本实施例中的“目标播种设备”、“目标播种位”、“目标库存物品”以及“目标拣选容器”可以理解为是一种代指,分别代指与“目标订单任务”具有关联关系的“播种设备”、“播种位”、“库存物品”以及“拣选容器”,通过上述描述进而可以将与“目标订单任务”不具有关联关系的“播种设备”、“播种位”、“库存物品”以及“拣选容器”进行区分,以避免出现逻辑上的混乱。
在本实施例中,播种设备220设置于用于进行物品拣选任务的订单拣选区域,比如订单拣选区域为拣选工作站,以方便拣选人员或者拣选机器人将拣选的库存物品放置到播种设备上。图4是本申请实施例中提供的一种仓储管理系统的实际场景示意图。参见图4,拣选人员或者拣选机器人可以随机从众多拣选容器选取拣选容器作为目标拣选容器210,并将随机选取的目标拣选容器210放置到目标播种设备220的目标播种位240上。在一实施例中,系统将目标订单任务分配到目标播种设备220的目标播种位240上,目标订单任务与目标播种位240之间存在绑定关系。当拣选人员或者拣选机器人将目标拣选容器210放置到目标播种位240上后,目标播种位240上设置的第一射频读取器250可以读取目标拣选容器210上携带的容器射频标签260,并将读取到的目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签260发送给管理服务器230。管理服务器230根据目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签260,将目标拣选容器210与目标订单任务进行绑定。即,目标订单任务不仅与目标播种位240存在绑定关系,也与目标拣选容器210存在绑定关系。
在本实施例中,参见图2和图4,管理服务器230与设置于目标播种设备220的目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250进行通信连接。可选地,第一射频读取器250与管理服务器230之间的通信连接方式为有线通信连接或者无线通信连接。管理服务器230可以接收第一射频读取器250读取并发送的目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签信息,并依据目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签信息,确定目标拣选容器210的容器信息。每一个拣选容器对应有唯一的容器射频标签。
在本实施例中,参见图2和图4,管理服务器230可以自动记录目标拣选容器210的容器信息、目标播种位240的位置信息与目标订单任务三者之间的绑定关系,以便可以根据记录的绑定关系进行数据查询和后续库存数据正确性验证。采用上述方式,将目标拣选容器放置到目标播种位上就可以自动记录目标拣选容器的容器信息、目标播种位的位置信息、目标订单任务三者之间的绑定关系,从而不需要拣选人员或者拣选机器人进行额外的人工扫码操作来进行操作,从而节省了采用人工扫码所花费的时间。
在本实施例中,参见图2和图4,在一个可选示例中,当目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250只允许读取目标播种位240的预设射频信号读取范围内的射频标签时,管理服务器230可以依据目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250是否能读取到目标拣选容器210上的容器射频标签260,来确定拣选人员或者拣选机器人是否将目标拣选容器210正确放置到目标播种位240。若目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250识别到容器射频标签260,则表明已将目标拣选容器210正确放置到目标播种位240。此时,管理服务器230可以在确定拣选人员或拣选机器人正确放置目标拣选容器260时,自动记录目标拣选容器210的容器信息、目标播种位240的位置信息与目标订单任务三者之间的绑定关系。若目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250未识别到容器射频标签260,则表明未将目标拣选容器210正确放置到目标播种位240,此时提醒拣选人员或拣选机器人进行正确检查,以便重新放置目标拣选容器210。
在一实施例中,在目标拣选容器210放置在目标播种位240上的情况下,目标订单任务与目标拣选容器210之间就存在了绑定关系。在一实施例中,可以利用机器人搬运放置有目标拣选容器210的目标播种设备220,也可以利用机器人直接搬运目标拣选容器210。例如,如果目标订单任务优先级较高,则可以依据目标订单任务与目标拣选容器210之间的绑定关系,可以先将完成了该目标订单任务的目标拣选容器210搬运到打包处准备进行复核并打包发货处理。
在本实施例中,参见图4,在通过拣选人员或者拣选机器人将目标订单任务所需要的目标库存物品放置到位于目标播种设备220的目标播种位240上的目标拣选容器210后,设置于目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250还可以读取目标库存物品上携带的物品射频标签。同时,设置于目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250可以将读取到的目标库存物品上携带的物品射频标签发送至 管理服务器230。
在本实施例中,参见图2和图4,管理服务器230接收目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250发送的目标库存物品的物品射频标签信息,并将接收到的目标库存物品的物品射频标签与接收到目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签进行关联。同时,管理服务器230还可以依据目标库存物品的物品射频标签信息确定目标拣选容器210中已经盛放的目标库存物品是否与目标订单任务所需的目标库存物品一致。如果一致,表明目标拣选容器210中已经集齐目标订单任务所需要的目标库存物品;如果不一致,表明目标拣选容器210中未集齐目标订单任务所需要的目标库存物品。可选地,目标拣选容器中已有的目标库存物品与目标订单任务所需的目标库存物品一致包括:目标拣选容器中已有的目标库存物品的库存量单位(Stock Keeping Unit,SKU)信息与目标订单任务所需的目标库存物品的SKU信息一致,以及目标拣选容器中已有的目标库存物品的数量与目标订单任务所需的目标库存物品的数量一致。采用上述方式,可以只要将目标库存物品依次放入到目标拣选容器中,就可以通过位于目标播种位的射频读取器自动识别目标库存物品的物品射频标签,并通过管理服务器确定目标拣选容器中目标库存物品的放置情况,以此来自动确定目标拣选容器中是否集齐目标订单任务所需要的目标库存物品,从而可以避免在放置目标库存物品后还需要人工确认是否集齐的动作,从而节省了人工确认所花费的时间。
本申请实施例中提供了一种仓储管理方案,可以在播种位上设置射频读取器以及在拣选容器上设置容器射频标签,当拣选人员将拣选容器放置在播种位时,通过射频读取器自动识别拣选容器的容器射频标签,从而使得管理服务器根据容器射频标签自动记录两者之间的绑定关系,采用上述方式不需要人工操作进行扫码,极大地节省人工操作时间;同时,在物品上可以设置物品射频标签,当拣选人员将需要拣选的物品放到拣选容器时,可以通过射频读取器自动读取物品射频标签,并将读取的物品射频标签发送至管理服务器,通过管理服务器可以自动确定拣选容器中已有的目标库存物品是否与订单任务所需的目标库存物品一致,采用上述方式消除了物品条形码的寻找和对准动作,只需要拣选人员将拣选的物品放到拣选容器上就可以自动识别拣选的物品,并且在将拣选的物品放入到拣选容器后并不需要再次确认放置的物品,极大地提高了人工拣选效率。
在本实施例的一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。参见图4,当拣选人员或者拣选机器人将目标拣选容器210放置到目标播种设备220的目标播种位240时,目标拣选容器210上设置的容器射频标签260的被识别范围与目标播种设备220的目标播种位240上设置的第一射频读取器250的识别范围至少部分重合。
在本实施方式中,播种设备上可以包含多个播种位,且每一个播种位上可以设置有各自对应的第一射频读取器250。在一个可选示例中,为了保证目标播种位240的第一射频读取器250顺利读取位于目标拣选容器210上的容器射频标签260,可以对第一射频读取器250与目标拣选容器210上的容器射频标签260之间的位置对应关系进行设置。可选地,目标拣选容器210上设置的容器射频标签与目标播种位240上设置的第一射频读取器250,在位置上至少部分重合,这样可以保证第一射频读取器250在位置上尽可能靠近目标拣选容器210上的容器射频标签,从而保证第一射频读取器250顺利读取射频标签。
在本实施方式中,可选地,目标拣选容器210的容器底部设置有容器射频标签,且位于目标拣选容器210的容器底部的容器射频标签贴近目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器(即位于目标拣选容器210的容器底部的容器射频标签与目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器的距离小于预设距离阈值,该预设距离阈值可以根据实际情况进行设定,例如该预设距离阈值可以为10cm),从而保证目标拣选容器的容器底部的容器射频标签260尽可能贴近目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250。采用上述设置的方式,可以保证任一播种位上的第一射频读取器在位置上能够尽可能的靠近位于该播种位上的拣选容器的容器射频标签,从而使得该第一射频读取器可以顺利准确的读取位于该播种位上的拣选容器上容器射频标签,而尽可能地读取少量的或者不去读取位于其他播种位上的拣选容器的容器射频标签。
在本实施方式中,在另一可选示例中,为了保证目标播种位240的第一射频读取器250尽可能的只读取位于目标播种位240上的射频标签,可以对每一个第一射频读取器250的射频信号读取范围进行限制,通过设置射频信号读取范围可以避免由于第一射频读取器的射频信号读取范围较大,造成播种位上的 第一射频读取器无限制地读取其他播种位上的射频标签。可选地,目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250的射频信号读取区域为目标播种位240上用于放置目标拣选容器210的区域。可以根据目标播种位240上用于放置目标拣选容器210的区域大小对第一射频读取器250射频信号读取范围设置限定。采用上述方式,可以通过对第一射频读取器的射频信号读取范围进行选择性的设定,以保证第一射频读取器仅能读取位于目标播种位上的目标拣选容器中的容器射频标签,进而避免错误识别其他播种位上的容器射频标签。
在本实施例的一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。参见图3和图4,管理服务器230是配置为,可以依据目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250是否能读取到物品射频标签,确定目标库存物品是否已正确放置在目标拣选容器210。
在本实施方式中,位于目标播种位240上的第一射频读取器250包括一定的射频信号读取范围。如果第一射频读取器250能读取到物品射频标签,则表明有库存物品被放置到第一射频读取器250的射频信号读取范围之内;如果第一射频读取器250未能读取到物品射频标签,则表明没有库存物品被放置到第一射频读取器250的射频信号读取范围之内。对于第一射频读取器250能读取到物品射频标签而言,如果能够保证第一射频读取器250的射频信号读取范围精确到目标播种位上的目标拣选容器210所在区域,即保证第一射频读取器250不会读取其他拣选容器或者其他拣选容器内的射频标签,那么只要第一射频读取器250读取到物品射频标签,管理服务器230就可以直接确定目标库存物品已正确放置在目标拣选容器210;否则,则表明没有正确放置目标库存物品。
在本实施方式中,对于大部分情况下,考虑到为了节约空间拣选容器与拣选容器之间的间距不能间隔太大,第一射频读取器230的射频信号读取范围可能会包括目标拣选容器210相邻的拣选容器的部分区域。为此,当第一射频读取器250读取到物品射频标签时,管理服务器230可以依据第一射频读取器250读取到物品射频标签的射频信号强度,并依据该物品射频标签的射频信号强度,计算已读取到的物品射频标签与第一射频读取器250之间的距离。进而,管理服务器230可以依据计算得到的物品射频标签与第一射频读取器250之间的距离,确定物品射频标签是否位于目标拣选容器210的区域范围内。如果确定第一射频读取器250能够读取到物品射频标签且位于该目标拣选容器210的区域 范围内,则确定目标库存物品已正确放置在目标拣选容器210;否则,则表明没有正确放置。
在本实施例的一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。参见图3和图4,本申请实施例中的仓储管理系统200还包括:目标播种位提示装置270,目标播种位提示装置270与管理服务器230通信连接;其中:

在本实施方式中,目标搬运机器人是指用于搬运目标库存容器或者目标库存容器中的物品容器的自驱动机器人。图6是本申请实施例中提供的一种用于搬运库存容器的搬运机器人的结构示意图。参见图4和图6,搬运机器人290可以包括驱动机构601,通过该驱动机构601,搬运机器人290能够在工作空间内移动,搬运机器人290还可以包括用于搬运目标库存容器280的举升机构602,搬运机器人290可以运动到目标库存容器280的下方,搬运机器人可以利用举升机构602举起目标库存容器280,并进行搬运。举升机构602升起时将整个目标库存容器280从地面抬起,以使得搬运机器人290搬运目标库存容器280,举升机构602下降时可以将目标库存容器280放在地面上。搬运机器人290上的目标识别组件603在搬运机器人290举升目标库存容器280时,能够有效的对目标库存容器280进行识别,以保证搬运机器人运行至目标库存容器280的正下方。
除此之外,如果是基于视觉导航,搬运机器人290还可以包括导航识别组件(图6未示出),设置为识别铺设地面上的导航标记(如二维码)。当然,搬运机器人290还可以包括控制整个机器人实现运动、导航等功能的控制模块(图6未示出)。在一个示例中,搬运机器人290至少可以包括向上和向下的两个摄像头,其能够根据向下的摄像头拍摄到预先铺设的二维码(也可以是其它地面标识)向前行驶,并且能够行驶到库存容器底部后根据向上的摄像头拍摄到位于库存容器底部的对接标识,以便依据对接标识与库存容器进行对接。

在本实施例的一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。参见图2和图4,管理服务器230还配置为,在确定目标拣选容器210中已有的目标库存物品与目标订单任务所需的目标库存物品一致的情况下,发送拣选容器转移指令,指示目标转移机器人2110将目标拣选容器210转移到待包装缓存位置处以对目标拣选容器210中盛放的目标库存物品进行包装处理。
在本实施方式的一个可选示例中,参见图2和图4,本申请实施例中的仓储管理系统200还包括:目标转移机器人2110,该目标转移机器人2110设置为转移位于目标播种位240处的目标拣选容器210;其中:管理服务器230设置为在检测到位于目标播种位240处的目标拣选容器210中的目标库存物品已集齐时,向目标转移机器人2110发送拣选容器转移指令;目标转移机器人2110响应拣选容器转移指令,将目标拣选容器210或者包括目标拣选容器210的播种设备 220转移至待包装缓存位置处,以便打包人员或者打包机器人对转移至待包装缓存位置处的目标拣选容器210中的目标库存物品进行打包处理。

图8是本申请实施例中提供的另一种仓储管理系统的结构示意图,本实施例在上述实施例的基础上进行优化,本实施例可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中多个可选方案结合。如图8所示,本申请实施例中提供的仓储管理系统200包括:位于订单拣选区域的至少一个拣选容器210、至少一个播种设备220以及管理服务器230,还包括:设置于待包装缓存位置处的第二射频读取器2120;其中:
第二射频读取器2120配置为,在将已集齐目标库存物品的目标拣选容器210转移到待包装缓存位置后,读取目标拣选容器210中包含的物品射频标签和目标拣选容器210的容器射频标签,并将读取到的物品射频标签和容器射频标签发送给管理服务器230;
管理服务器230还配置为,依据第二射频读取器2120读取到的物品射频标签和容器射频标签,对目标拣选容器210中包含的目标库存物品进行复核,以复核目标拣选容器210是否已包含目标订单任务所需要的全部目标库存物品。
在本实施例中,待包装缓存位置处设置有第二射频读取器2120,比如可以在待包装缓存位置处的包装工位上安装第二射频读取器2120,该第二射频读取器2120可以采用RFID射频读码器。在将目标拣选容器210转移至待包装缓存区域的待包装缓存位置处后,第二射频读取器2120可以识别到目标拣选容器210中携带的容器射频标签和目标拣选容器210中包括的一个或多个目标库存物品携带的物品射频标签。
在本实施例中,管理服务器230可以根据第二射频读取器2120读取到的容器射频标签和物品射频标签,来确定目标拣选容器210的容器信息以及目标拣选容器210中包含的一个或多个目标库存物品的物品信息,比如可以确定目标拣选容器210的容器身份标识(Identity,ID)编号或SKU信息,以及确定目标拣选容器210中每种目标库存物品的物品ID编号和物品数量。
在本实施例中,管理服务器230已经记录了目标拣选容器的容器信息与目标播种位和目标订单任务之间的绑定关系。进而,管理服务器230可以基于已记录目标拣选容器的容器信息、目标播种位、目标订单任务三者之间的绑定关系,依据目标拣选容器的容器信息和目标订单任务之间的关系进行数据比对,用以确定目标拣选容器中包含的目标库存物品是否符合目标订单任务的拣选要求。若比对成功,表明目标拣选容器中包含目标订单任务所需要的每个目标库存物品,目标拣选容器中的每个目标库存物品符合拣选要求,此时可以提示订单复核完成;若比对不成功,表明目标拣选容器中的目标库存物品不符合目标订单任务的拣选要求,此时可以生成差异数据,提示订单复核区域的复核人员将该目标拣选容器转移并进行异常处理。
本申请实施例中提供了一种仓储管理方案,可以在待包装缓存位置处设置第二射频读取器,通过第二射频读取器可以对目标拣选容器中的每个目标库存物品进行自动复核,避免在待包装缓存位置处需要包装工人先扫描目标拣选容器的容器编号,然后再逐一扫描目标拣选容器内的目标库存物品条码以进行人工物品条码和数量的复核所带来的繁杂操作,从而节省了大量的订单复核时间, 提高了包装工人的订单复核效率;另外,考虑到可能由于识别错误会将其他拣选容器中的库存物品识别为是目标拣选容器中盛放的库存物品,导致在检测目标拣选容器会错误的认为目标拣选容器已经集齐目标订单任务所需的每个目标库存物品时,以及,在转移目标拣选容器至待包装缓存位置的过程中可能会丢失目标库存物品,此时如果不进行订单复核则会导致包装的目标库存物品实际是不符合要求的,为此通过在待包装缓存位置进行再次复核会减少上述两种情况的发生。
图9是本申请实施例中提供的又一种仓储管理系统的结构示意图,本实施例在上述实施例的基础上进行优化,本实施例可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中多个可选方案结合。如图9所示,本申请实施例中提供的仓储管理系统200还包括:待上架容器2130、上架库存容器2140以及位于物品上架区的第三射频读取器2150,待上架容器2130中放置有待上架物品,待上架物品上设置有物品射频标签;其中:

在本实施例中,管理服务器230可以从放置库存容器的库存容器区选择合适的库存容器,比如选择具有与待上架物品的存储空间匹配的库存容器,作为上架库存容器2140,从而方便使用上架库存容器2140存储待上架物品。物品上架人员或者物品上架机器人可以从待上架容器2130中的取出需要上架的每个待上架物品,并将取出的每个待上架物品放入上架库存容器2140中。相应的,在从待上架容器2130中的取出每个待上架物品或者将待上架物品放入上架库存容器2140的过程中,通过第三射频读取器2150读取到的待上架物品上的物品射频标签,并发送给管理服务器230。管理服务器230可以依据第三射频读取器2150读取到的待上架物品上的物品射频标签,确定待上架物品的物品信息,并记录待上架物品的物品信息与上架库存容器的容器位置之间的绑定关系。
在本实施例的一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。参见图9,第三射频读取器2150可以设置在待上架容器2130上方的预设位置处,且待上架物品的物品信息包括:从待上架容器2130中取出的待上架物品的SKU信息以及取出的待上架物品的数量。
在本实施方式中,当物品上架人员或者物品上架机器人从待上架容器2130中取出待上架物品时,位于待上架容器2130上方的第三射频读取器2150可以读取该待上架物品上携带的物品射频标签,并发送到管理服务器230。进而,管理服务器230可以依据读取的物品射频标签,确定待上架容器2130的容器信息(比如待上架容器的ID),以确定待上架容器2130中物品射频标签的减少量。此时,管理服务器230可以根据待上架容器213中物品射频标签的减少量即可获知上架人员或上架机器人从待上架容器中取出的待上架物品的SKU信息和取出的待上架物品的数量。相应的,管理服务器230可以记录上述待上架物品的 物品信息与上架库存容器2140的容器位置之间的绑定关系。
在本实施方式中,鉴于待上架容器可以包含多个,位于待上架容器2130上方的第三射频读取器2150还可以读取待上架容器2130上携带的容器射频标签,以便通过管理服务器依据第三射频读取器2150读取的容器射频标签来确定待上架容器2130的容器信息(比如待上架容器的ID),进而以便获知上架人员或者上架机器人从哪个待上架容器取出待上架物品。
在本实施例的另一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。参见图9,第三射频读取器2150可以被设置在上架库存容器2140上方的预设位置处,且待上架物品的物品信息可以包括:放入上架库存容器2140的待上架物品的SKU信息以及放入上架库存容器的待上架物品的数量。
在本实施方式中,当物品上架人员或者物品上架机器人将待上架物品放入上架库存容器2140时,位于上架库存容器2140上方的第三射频读取器2150可以读取放入的每个待上架物品上携带的物品射频标签,以便管理服务器230依据第三射频读取器2150读取的物品射频标签,来确定上架库存容器2140中物品射频标签的增加量。进而,管理服务器230可以根据上架库存容器2140中所包含的物品射频标签的增加量即可获知上架人员或上架机器人发放入到上架库存容器2140的待上架物品的SKU以及待上架物品的数量。相应的,管理服务器230可以记录上述待上架物品的物品信息与上架库存容器2140的容器位置之间的绑定关系。
采用上述两种可选实施方式,上架人员或者上架机器人不需要手动获取待上架物品的物品上架信息,通过预先设置的第三射频读取器可以自动识别并确定待上架物品的物品信息,上架人员或者上架机器人只需要扫描获知上架库存容器的容器位置,管理服务器就可以自动记录上架物品的物品上架信息与上架库存容器的容器位置之间的绑定关系,从而有效节省了物品上架时间,加快了物品上架速率。
在本实施例的一种可选实施方式中,本实施方式可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中的多个可选方案结合。图10是本申请实施例中提供的一种搬运上架库 存容器的搬运示意图。参见图10,本申请实施例中的仓储管理系统200还可以包括:用于搬运上架库存容器2140的上架搬运机器人2160;其中:

采用上述方式,在上架少量的待上架物品时,可以直接将待上架容器搬运至上架库存容器处,从而可以避免将整个上架库存容器进行搬运,进而增加不必要的搬运成本。
图12是本申请实施例中提供的一种库存管理系统的结构示意图,本实施例在上述实施例的基础上进行优化,本实施例可以与上述一个或者多个实施例中多个可选方案结合。如图12所示,本申请实施例中提供的库存管理系统1200包括:多个库存支架1201,每个库存支架1201上设置有多个库存位,每个库存位中容纳有多个库存物品;库存管理系统1200还包括多个第四射频读取器1202以及与多个第四射频读取器1202通信连接的管理服务器1203;库存物品上设置有物品射频标签;库存支架上设置有支架射频标签;
第四射频读取器1202配置为,读取库存支架1201上的支架射频标签以及位于库存支架上的库存物品的物品射频标签,并发送给管理服务器1203;
管理服务器1203配置为,根据支架射频标签和物品射频标签,确定库存支架的信息以及位于库存支架上的库存物品的信息。
在本实施例中,可选地,至少一个库存支架1201构成一个单元,一个单元的上方设置有一个第四射频读取器1202,第四射频读取器1202配置为读取单元中的支架射频标签和物品射频标签。例如,一个库存支架1201构成一个单元,这样的话可以保证每一个库存支架1201具有唯一对应的射频读取器。
在本实施例中,图13是本申请实施例中提供的一种用于盘点的射频读取器与库存支架之间的位置示意图。参见图13,在库存区中,可以包含多个库存支架1201,每一个库存支架1201上可以包含多个库存位,在库存位中可以容纳库存物品。可选地,在每一个库存支架1201所在位置的上方可以安装有第四射频读取器1202,第四射频读取器1202可以读取下方的库存支架1201的支架射频标签以及读取库存支架1201上的库存物品的物品射频标签。第四射频读取器 1202可以将读取的支架射频标签和库存物品的物品射频标签,发送给管理服务器1203。管理服务器230可以根据支架射频标签和物品射频标签,查询预设的支架射频标签与支架信息之间的映射关系,以及物品射频标签与物品信息之间的映射关系,从而得到库存支架的信息以及位于库存支架上的库存物品的信息。进而,管理服务器1203可以依据已经确定的库存支架的信息和库存物品的信息,与库存数据中记录的该库存支架1201中多个库存物品的物品信息和支架信息进行盘点比对。如果发现差异,则通过管理服务器1203生成库存支架的搬运任务,调度机器人将库存支架1201搬运到操作工位进行人工盘点,确认每个库存支架1201的库存差异并记录;如果无差异则不需要进行库存支架的搬运。
在本实施例中,在一个可选示例中,在库存支架1201的库存位上放置有库存容器,每一个库存容器中可以容纳至少一个库存物品,且每一个库存容器上设置有容器射频标签。可选地,在上述设置的基础上,第四射频读取器1202还配置为,读取库存容器上的容器射频标签,并发送给管理服务器1203。管理服务器1203还配置为,根据容器射频标签,查询容器射频标签与容器信息之间的映射关系,确定该库存容器的容器信息。
在本实施例中,在一个可选示例中,管理服务器1203配置为,确定获取的库存信息是否与记录的库存信息相一致。在一实施例中,库存信息包括库存支架1201的信息以及位于库存支架1201上的库存物品的信息。可选地,多个库存支架中的至少部分库存支架上设置有射频天线。
在本实施方式中,参见图13,可选地,第四射频读取器1202定向识别对应的库存支架1201的库存位上放置的库存容器的容器射频标签。其中,第四射频读取器1202具有唯一的标识,与下方对应的库存支架1201匹配,第四射频读取器1202只能读取第四射频读取器1202对应位置处的库存支架1201上的库存容器的容器射频标签,而不能读取其他库存支架上的库存容器的容器射频标签和物品射频标签。例如,位于位置(X1,Y1)的第四射频读取器1202只读取位置(X1,Y1)位置处的库存支架上的库存容器的容器射频标签和物品射频标签,而不能读取其他位置处的射频标签。
在本实施方式中,可选地,第四射频读取器1202可以按照预设盘点周期或者预设的盘点规则,自动开启第四射频读取器1202的盘点功能以对多个库存支 架中包含的库存物品的物品信息进行盘点。例如,按照预设的盘点周期,开启第四射频读取器1202的自动盘点功能,并在执行完一次自动盘点操作时,关闭第四射频读取器1202的自动盘点功能,等待下一次预设盘点周期的到来。再例如,按照预设盘点规则,在检测到有新入库的物品时,开启第四射频读取器1202的盘点功能进行自动盘点,而在没有新入库的物品时,关闭第四射频读取器1202的自动盘点功能。再例如,在拣选物品时发现物品信息有误,可开启第四射频读取器1202自动盘点功能进行自动盘点。可以理解的是,本实施例的库存管理系统可以与前述实施例的仓储管理系统集成在一起,作为仓储管理系统的一部分进行存在。
采用上述方式,可以在不需要移动库存支架的情况下,自动识别库存支架上所有物品的物品信息,整个过程不需要人工操作进行盘点,只要库存支架放置在对应位置就可以自动盘点库存容器中的库存物品,从而节省了人工盘点所浪费的时间。
