Abstract

A method and apparatus for carrying a shelf. One specific implementation of the method comprises: receiving first task information from a task server (104); determining, according to an identifier of a shelf to be transported, the position of a shelf storage space (201) for storing the shelf as a starting point position; determining, according to an identifier of a first picking station, the position of a first buffer storage space in a buffer storage space set corresponding to the first picking station as an ending point position; generating first transporting information according to the determined starting point position and ending point position; and sending the first transporting information to automated guided vehicles (106,107), so that the automated guided vehicles (106,107) transport the shelf.
