Logistics managing method and electronic device performing the same

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a communication module;
• a display;
• and
• a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive, via the communication module from a user terminal, task instruction information, wherein the task instruction information identifies an item and a task associated with the item, wherein the task comprises one or more of a sorting task or a packing task, wherein the sorting task comprises a procedure to sort the item based on order information and the packing task comprises a procedure to pack the item for delivery, wherein performance of the sorting task causes the item to be sorted and performance of the packing task causes an unsorted item or a sorted item to be packed for delivery;
• identify, by the processor, at least one tote of a tote set, wherein the at least one tote comprises the item;
• identify, by the processor, a station set from a first station set and a second station set, wherein the packing task is performed at the first station set and the sorting task is performed at the second station set, the station set corresponding to the tote set based on determining that the task instruction information corresponds to an attribute of the station set, the station set comprising one or more stations, wherein the attribute of the station set identifies the task that is performed at the station set;
• determine, by the processor, a station of the one or more stations to be a destination of the at least one tote, wherein the task is performed at least at the station of the one or more stations of the station set based on the attribute of the station set;
• control a conveyor to cause the conveyor to transport the at least one tote to the station, wherein, based on transporting the at least one tote to the station, the task associated with the item is performed on the item at the station;
• and
• transmit to the user terminal, via the communication module, first information identifying the station to which the conveyor transported the at least one tote and second information identifying the at least one tote, wherein transmitting the first information and the second information causes display, via a display unit of the user terminal, of the first information and the second information,
• wherein at least one order allocated to one tote set comprises the same shipping request time attribute and the same package attribute.

A method for managing logistics comprising:

• receiving task instruction information, wherein the task instruction information identifies an item and a task associated with the item, wherein the task comprises one or more of a sorting task or a packing task, wherein the sorting task comprises a procedure to sort the item based on order information and the packing task comprises a procedure to pack the item for delivery, wherein performance of the sorting task causes the item to be sorted and performance of the packing task causes an unsorted item or a sorted item to be packed for delivery;
• identifying at least one tote of a tote set, wherein the at least one tote comprises the item;
• determining a destination of the at least one tote based at least in part on the task instruction information,
• wherein determining the destination of the at least one tote comprises:
• identifying a station set from a first station set and a second station set, wherein the packing task is performed at the first station set and the sorting task is performed at the second station set, the station set corresponding to the tote set based on determining that the task instruction information corresponds to an attribute of the station set, the station set comprising one or more stations, wherein the attribute of the station set identifies the task that is performed at the station set;
• determining a station of the one or more stations to be the destination of the at least one tote using a Round-Robin scheme, wherein the task is performed at least at the station of the one or more stations of the station set based on the attribute of the station set;
• controlling a conveyor to cause the conveyor to transport the at least one tote to the station, wherein, based on transporting the at least one tote to the station, the task associated with the item is performed on the item at the station;
• and
• transmitting first information identifying the station to which the conveyor transported the at least one tote and second information identifying the at least one tote, wherein transmitting the first information and the second information causes display of the first information and the second information,
• wherein at least one order allocated to one tote set comprises the same shipping request time attribute and the same package attribute.
