Method and system for processing item order

An information processing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the information processing system to:
• acquire order information including a plurality of item orders,
• generate, based on the order information, a plurality of works;
• set a work group including at least one of the generated plurality of works;
• set, for the work group, a group field including a work attribute;
• and
• transmit, to a target robot and based on an amount of work assigned to a work station being less than a threshold value, a message including an attribute of the work station to cause the target robot to determine an action associated with the work station.

A method performed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• acquiring order information including a plurality of item orders, wherein each of the plurality of item orders includes associated item attributes;
• generating, based on the plurality of item orders, a plurality of works;
• grouping, based on item attributes, the generated plurality of works into a plurality of work groups, wherein each work group of the plurality of work groups includes works having a same item attribute or compatible item attributes;
• assigning a work attribute to each of the plurality of work groups;
• allocating the plurality of works to a plurality of robots;
• measuring an amount of work to be processed at a specific work station of a plurality of work stations;
• based on the measured amount of work being less than a threshold value, transmitting a message including an attribute of the specific work station to the plurality of robots, wherein the attribute of the specific work station indicates information related to characteristics of a subsequent work to be performed at the specific work station, and the attribute of the specific work station has at least one associated work attribute;
• and
• causing a specific robot of the plurality of robots to move, in response to the message, to the specific work station,
• wherein the specific robot that moves to the specific work station is a robot assigned a work having a work attribute associated with the attribute of the specific work station.
