Proposal of an Efficient Operation Method about Order Processing Sequence and Allocating Goods to Racks in the Automatic Picking System

摘要

For the management of a distribution center, efficiency of picking ordered goods is very important. The efficiency of an automatic picking system is decided by its system structure and its operation method. Conventionally, to improve the operation efficiency, methods about order processing sequence and goods allocation to a rack were researched. However, there's no consideration of goods allocation to plural racks, or changes of goods allocation are needed while picking.
