Once requested, no other cargo handling requests can be sent until the move complete order has been received.

Optionally, the above-mentioned inventory status can be updated every time a handling completion instruction is received, or a specified time period can be set, and only the number of receipts of the handling completion instruction is recorded during this time period, and at the end of the time period Update the inventory status of the goods at one time according to the number of times the handling completion command is received. For example, set 5 minutes as the update time period, and record the completion of the handling every time a handling completion command is received from the 0th to the 4th minute within 5 minutes Goods identification in the order. For example, when the first goods are out of the warehouse once and the second goods are in the warehouse twice, at the 5th minute, the inventory status of all recorded goods identifications within 5 minutes will be updated, that is, the inventory status of the first goods will be reduced by one, and the inventory status of the second goods will be reduced by one. Inventory status plus two.

In the above goods management method, by updating the inventory status of the target goods in real time after receiving the handling completion instruction, the quantity of the target goods in the warehouse can be accurately monitored.

Optionally, the above-mentioned power-shortage instruction may be sent to the goods management device by the handling equipment in the power-short state. For example, each handling equipment monitors its own power status in real time. When the threshold is reached, a power shortage command is sent to the cargo management device. The power shortage command only includes the equipment information of the target handling device; it can also be sent to the For cargo management equipment, for example, the main control device can monitor the power status of each handling device in real time, and when the main control device detects that the power of one or more handling devices is less than the preset threshold, it will send a power shortage command to the cargo management For equipment, the power-shortage command includes equipment information of all moving equipment whose power is less than a preset threshold value.

Step S208, obtaining a target charging device that is currently in an idle state, where the target charging device is a charging device with a current power greater than a power threshold among multiple charging devices.

Optionally, the power status and usage status of the above-mentioned target charging equipment may be sent by the charging equipment to the goods management equipment. For example, each charging equipment monitors its own power status and usage status in real time. When a target charging equipment monitors its own When the power is less than the preset threshold or the handling equipment has started to be charged, an offline command is sent to the cargo management equipment to remind the cargo management equipment that the target charging equipment is in a power-short or non-idle state at this time, and the offline command Only includes the device information of the target charging device. After receiving the offline command, the cargo management device will count the target charging devices that are currently idle according to the preset device information of all charging devices; The main control device connected to the charging device sends it to the cargo management device. For example, the main control device can monitor the power status and usage status of each charging device in real time. When the main control device detects that the power of one or more charging devices is less than When the preset threshold is set or the handling equipment has started to be charged, an offline command is sent to the cargo management equipment, and the offline command includes all detected equipment information of the charging equipment whose power is less than the preset threshold or is in a charging state.

Step S209, sending a charging instruction to the target transport device, so that the target transport device goes to the target charging device for charging.
