Claim 0:
1. An order processing method, wherein the method is executed by a control device in a warehousing system, the warehousing system further comprises a robot and a console, both the robot and the console are capable of communicating with the control device, and the method comprises:
acquiring a plurality of original orders to be processed;
generating a first target order and attributing a first original order in the plurality of original orders to be processed to the first target order;
determining whether a second original order in the plurality of original orders to be processed and the first original order satisfy an order-combining constraint;
if the second original order and the first original order satisfy the order-combining constraint, attributing the second original order to the first target order;
if the second original order and the first original order do not satisfy the order-combining constraint, generating a second target order, and attributing the second original order to the second target order;
determining whether other original orders in the plurality of original orders to be processed are attributed to any generated target orders one by one according to whether the order-combining constraint is satisfied, and if the other original orders are not attributed to any generated target orders, generating a new target order(s), until all original orders to be processed are attributed to one or more target orders;
wherein attributing all original orders to be processed to one or more target orders comprises: performing, based on a circumstance where a target order constraint is satisfied, order-combining on the original orders to generate one or more target orders;
wherein performing, based on the circumstance where the target order constraint is satisfied, order-combining on the original orders to generate one or more target orders comprises: determining, based on the circumstance where the target order constraint is satisfied, one or more target orders finally generated, by evaluating at least one of a total number of target orders obtained after order-combining and a sum of numbers of goods types of the target orders obtained;
wherein determining, based on the circumstance where the target order constraint is satisfied, one or more target orders finally generated, by evaluating at least one of the total number of target orders obtained after order-combining and the sum of numbers of goods types of the target orders obtained, comprises: determining all possible order-combining schemes, based on the circumstance where the target order constraint is satisfied, wherein the order-combining schemes comprise combining the original orders to obtain one or more target orders; calculating, for any order-combining scheme, at least one of a score corresponding to the total number of the target orders obtained and a score corresponding to the sum of numbers of goods types of the target orders obtained; and determining, according to the score obtained by calculating, an order-combining scheme that is finally selected;
wherein, the method further comprises: when there is at least one empty slot in the console, selecting, for each empty slot, a target order from unsorted target orders, for distribution to the empty slot.
