Abstract

Methods, devices, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing an item-picking dispatching request are provided. One of methods includes receiving a dispatching request with respect to item picking; determining a type of the dispatching request; determining, in stored picking resource status information, target picking resource status information corresponding to the type of the dispatching request according to a preset correspondence between types of dispatching requests and picking resource status information, wherein the stored picking resource status information is updated in real time; generating mirror-image information of the target picking resource status information; and generating a dispatching task for item picking based on the mirror-image information of the target picking resource status information.
