A Text-Granulation Clustering Approach With Semantics for E-Commerce Intelligent Storage Allocation

Abstract

With the hot rise and increasing popularity of e-commerce and online shopping, exponentially growing orders require to be picked up timely. In the order-based warehouse picking process, more intelligent optimization methods are urgently demanded to meet the maturity of robot technology. Due to the wide variety of SKUs (stock-keeping units) in warehouses, direct analysis based on orders can hardly get strong correlations among SKUs. Since orders and SKUs usually are presented in text form files, this paper proposes a clustering optimization algorithm based on text information granules which makes full use of context information and semantics. Storage assignment is determined by clustering SKUs first and then performing correlation analysis on the clustering results according to orders. The algorithm can give the semantic description of each cluster so that the clustering process is interpretable and transparent. Extensive experiments on a distribution center of a clothing production enterprise indicate 40.5 to 57.9% improvement in the average order picking distance compared with the ABC classification.

Design of Logistics Intelligent Warehouse Management System Based on Radio Frequency Identification Technology for 5G

“…The basic principles of radio frequency identification (RFID) are as follows: RFID readers can continuously send strong signals of a specific frequency within a certain range. Once the electronic tag enters a certain range, the reader can be induced and send relevant tag information, including relevant codes of error detection information or active tags, and send RF signal of specific frequency to the reader; when all data is sent, the storage capacitor can turn on the discharge mode and adjust the label to the next cycle [20]. The time interval can be called "synchronization time."…”

Production Scheduling Optimization of Garment Intelligent Manufacturing System Based on Big Data

“…Based on the Internet of things technology, intelligent manufacturing transforms traditional clothing production into informatization and opens up the information flow from product development to raw material procurement and order production, so that enterprises can effectively manage the main production and operation links and help enterprises respond quickly. Market demand improves the management ability and production efficiency of enterprises [ 3 ].…”
