The invention provides an electronic device and a method for managing a shelf configuration in a warehouse. The method includes the following. A number of aisles is obtained by using a number-of-aisles-optimization-function associated with warehouse-structure-information. A number of turnstiles is obtained by using a number-of-turnstiles-optimization-function associated with the warehouse-structure-information. A commodity placement mode is obtained by using a commodity-score-function associated with order information and commodity information. The number of aisles, the number of turnstiles, and the commodity placement mode are used as a warehouse shelf configuration result.

Electronic device and method for managing shelf configuration in warehouse

A warehouse picking system and a warehouse picking method are provided. The warehouse picking system includes multiple cargo management stations and a management device. The management device receives multiple orders including at least one cargo, calculates an order score of each order by using an order score function; selects at least one order as a target order according to the order scores so as to determine a target cargo management station adapted for processing the target order; selects a cargo picking box storing at least one cargo in the target order from the cargo picking boxes of the target cargo management station to serve as candidate cargo picking boxes; and determines a target cargo picking box adapted for picking the cargo in the target order according to a workload of cargo picking equipment, a workload of cargo transportation equipment, and a disposition of each candidate cargo picking box.

A multi-camera positioning and dispatching system includes a plurality of cameras and processing device. The cameras are disturbed over an indoor space having a plurality of areas; the cameras are corresponding to the areas and capture the images of the areas respectively. The processing device converts the pixel coordinates of the image of the camera corresponding to each area into the camera coordinates of the area, and converts the cameras coordinates of the area into the world coordinates of the area so as to integrate the images with one another and obtain a panoramic map, defined by a world coordinate system, of the indoor space. The processing device projects the working unit in the image captured by any one of the cameras to the panoramic map. The system can achieve positioning function via the panoramic map so as to optimize indoor environment management and save manpower.
