dc.description.abstract | The Locusbots system uses dynamic path planning, which has the advantage of smooth picking routes, can quickly update picking environment information, and plan the most favorable picking paths according to various situations. The pickers are each responsible for a picking area, and the AGV transports the picking box to the picker, allowing the picker to carry out the picking operation. The picker does not need to walk around, eliminating the unproductive walking time. The picker only needs to be familiar with the products in the responsible picking area, and can focus more on the picking operation and improve the productivity; effective response in the off-peak season of sales, in response to the elastic changes of orders, the expansion and reduction of Locusbots will be carried out to reduce labor costs and improve the accuracy of picking.
The picking process of the Locusbots system is mainly divided into three parts. The first part is to assign the order to the AGV, as the basis for the AGV to enter the logistics center for picking; the second part, the AGV is sent to the picking area for order picking; the third part, the AGV arrive at the picking area and wait on the line, choose which AGV in the picking area, and enter the picking area to carry out the picking operation.
Based on the above reasons, this study will focus on the picking strategy in the Locusbots system, with the dispatching rule as the main body, and the order selection rule and the picking area selection AGV rule at the same time. | en_US |
