    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the field of intelligent warehousing technologies, and provides a shelf and a warehousing system, to resolve a technical problem that it is difficult to control a spacing between adjacent goods on a shelf. The shelf includes a support frame and a first conveyor and a second conveyor arranged on the support frame. The first conveyor and the second conveyor form a goods conveying layer for conveying goods. The first conveyor is hinged with the support frame. The first conveyor is rotatably switched to a first limit position or a second limit position. When the first conveyor is at the first limit position, a second end of the first conveyor protrudes from an upper surface of the second conveyor, so that an end surface of the second end of the first conveyor is configured to block goods on the second conveyor. The warehousing system includes the above shelf. The present disclosure is intended to precisely control the spacing between adjacent goods on a shelf.

    摘要: This application provides a material conveying method and device, applicable to an unloading device including a robot and a conveyor. The robot includes at least one goods taking or placing apparatus and at least two first storage layers, and the conveyor includes a to-be-placed goods conveying layer and a to-be-taken goods conveying layer arranged in parallel from up to down. According to this application, the goods taking or placing apparatus is controlled to move in a direction perpendicular to the to-be-placed goods conveying layer and the to-be-taken goods conveying layer. When a material obtained from the to-be-taken goods conveying layer exists on the goods taking or placing apparatus, the goods taking or placing apparatus is controlled to place the material on an unoccupied storage layer reached by the goods taking or placing apparatus for the first time during the movement. This application can reduce a movement distance of the goods taking or placing apparatus.

    摘要: This application provides a material transferring method, a warehouse management device, a warehousing system, a medium, and a product. The method includes: controlling a first robot transferring materials to move to a first entrance of the M entrances; and controlling the first robot to place a first quantity of materials at the first entrance, the first quantity being less than or equal to a second quantity. During placement of materials by robots, the warehouse management device may control a quantity of the materials placed by the robots. That is, the warehouse management device may control the first robot to place all or part of the materials loaded therein, so that the first robot can place different quantities of materials at different first entrances to balance a material carrying capacity on a conveying path corresponding to each entrance, thereby preventing congestion of the robots and avoiding lockup of a conveyor line.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an order processing method, an outbound method, a device, a system, and a storage medium. A server obtains a slot capacity of each workstation and a preset virtual capacity, determines a to-be-processed order of each workstation according to the slot capacity and the virtual capacity, and generates an outbound instruction according to the to-be-processed order. A transfer device transfers goods in the to-be-processed order from the warehouse according to the outbound instruction. According to this solution, more orders can be assigned at a time, and thus more goods can be carried from the warehouse at a time, improving the outbound efficiency.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a warehousing system, a goods collection method and device, a goods-container-moving device, a control terminal, and a storage medium. In the warehousing system, a shelving unit is provided with storage spaces configured to place storage-goods container. When not all the storage spaces on the shelving unit store storage-goods container, or a storage-goods container is removed from a storage space by the goods-container-moving device, there may be a free storage space. In this case, in the collection process, under the control of the control terminal, the goods-container-moving device temporarily stores collection-goods containers that completes picking of goods in the free storage space of the shelving unit. That is, the storage spaces on the shelving unit can be used to both place the storage-goods container and temporarily store the collection-goods container. Therefore, in the collection process, it is not necessary to set a specific temporary storage area or temporary shelving unit to temporarily store goods, which effectively improves the space utilization of the warehousing system. In addition, there is no limitation on the size of the temporary storage area or the temporary shelving unit. Therefore, collection operations of a larger quantity of order tasks can be performed, thereby improving the efficiency of warehouse collection operations.
