Abstract
An automatic warehouse control system and method are provided. The system comprises a goods transport module, an information input module, a data storage module, a data retrieval module, and a drive control module. The goods transport module moves goods containers. The information input module is configured to input goods information to form goods warehousing data. The data storage module stores the goods warehousing data. The data retrieval module retrieves goods warehousing data and sends a retrieved result to the drive control module according to information of to-be-picked goods. The drive control module controls operation of the goods transport module to transport a goods container containing the to-be-picked goods to the goods-picking location according to the retrieved result. The technical solution is easy to implement, has a low cost, and allows one warehouse operator to manage multiple racks at the same time, which can significantly reduce hardware and time cost.
