Tote processing method and device, and storage medium

A tote processing device, comprising:

• a memory storing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor, configured to execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, to enable the at least one processor to:
• obtain at least one to-be-processed order corresponding to a target workstation;
• determine target totes and a carrying sequence of each of the target totes according to an order demand of the at least one to-be-processed order and a processing sequence corresponding to each to-be-processed order;
• and
• generate a carrying instruction according to the target totes and the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, to control, based on the carrying instruction, a robot to carry each of the target totes;
• wherein the order demand of the to-be-processed order comprises a type and a quantity of target items corresponding to the to-be-processed order, the processing sequence of the to-be-processed order is a placement sequence after target items in the order demand of the to-be-processed order are picked, and each of the target totes corresponds to one of the to-be-processed orders or corresponds to one target item in the order demand of one of the to-be-processed orders;
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine, for each to-be-processed order, each of the target totes of the to-be-processed order and the carrying sequence of each of the target totes according to the order demand and the processing sequence of the to-be-processed order;
• group each of the target totes according to one or more of a quantity of target totes corresponding to each to-be-processed order, the to-be-processed order corresponding to each of the target totes, the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, and the storage location of each of the target totes, to obtain tote groups;
• determine an inter-group sequence of each of the tote groups according to target totes corresponding to the tote groups and in the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, wherein the inter-group sequence is used to describe an execution sequence of each of the tote groups, and in the inter-group sequence, if a first tote in a tote group of a current sequence and a second tote in a tote group of a next sequence belong to a same to-be-processed order, a sequence of the first tote in the carrying sequence is before a sequence of the second tote in the carrying sequence;
• and
• generate the carrying instruction for the at least one robot according to the target totes corresponding to the tote groups, the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, the storage location of each of the target totes, and the inter-group sequence, to enable the at least one robot to carry the target totes of the tote groups in the inter-group sequence;
• wherein in two tote groups that are adjacent in the inter-group sequence, target totes belonging to the same to-be-processed order are consecutive in a sequence of the carrying sequence.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores computer-executable instructions;

• and when executing the computer-executable instructions, a processor is configured to:
• obtain at least one to-be-processed order corresponding to a target workstation;
• determine target totes and a carrying sequence of each of the target totes according to an order demand of the at least one to-be-processed order and a processing sequence corresponding to each to-be-processed order;
• and
• generate a carrying instruction according to the target totes and the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, to control, based on the carrying instruction, a robot to carry each of the target totes;
• wherein the order demand of the to-be-processed order comprises a type and a quantity of target items corresponding to the to-be-processed order, the processing sequence of the to-be-processed order is a placement sequence after target items in the order demand of the to-be-processed order are picked, and each of the target totes corresponds to one of the to-be-processed orders or corresponds to one target item in the order demand of one of the to-be-processed orders;
• wherein when executing the computer-executable instructions, the processor is configured to:
• determine, for each to-be-processed order, each of the target totes of the to-be-processed order and the carrying sequence of each of the target totes according to the order demand and the processing sequence of the to-be-processed order;
• group each of the target totes according to one or more of a quantity of target totes corresponding to each to-be-processed order, the to-be-processed order corresponding to each of the target totes, the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, and the storage location of each of the target totes, to obtain tote groups;
• determine an inter-group sequence of each of the tote groups according to target totes corresponding to the tote groups and in the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, wherein the inter-group sequence is used to describe an execution sequence of each of the tote groups, and in the inter-group sequence, if a first tote in a tote group of a current sequence and a second tote in a tote group of a next sequence belong to a same to-be-processed order, a sequence of the first tote in the carrying sequence is before a sequence of the second tote in the carrying sequence;
• and
• generate the carrying instruction for the at least one robot according to the target totes corresponding to the tote groups, the carrying sequence of each of the target totes, the storage location of each of the target totes, and the inter-group sequence, to enable the at least one robot to carry the target totes of the tote groups in the inter-group sequence;
• wherein in two tote groups that are adjacent in the inter-group sequence, target totes belonging to the same to-be-processed order are consecutive in a sequence of the carrying sequence.
