- Abstract
Along with the vigorous development of e-commerce platforms, all kinds of goods with different values appear on various platforms, with the value of goods exhibiting a considerable gap. In this regard, the packaging damage of goods has consistently been an inevitable problem during the picking process. Moreover, customers put forward increasingly high requirements for the integrity of goods. Particularly, the cost caused by the breakage of valuables is usually hundreds of times that of items with lower prices. To address the foregoing challenges, this paper proposes a mathematical model of the multi-vehicle picking path considering the goods damage cost, leveraging an improved ant colony algorithm to solve it. In this foundation, this research further implements relevant simulation experiments through MATLAB. The research findings reveal that the vulnerability value of goods in the second half of the path within the scale of 100 is obviously higher than that in the first half, further verifying the validity of the model and algorithm. Simply put, the methodology proposed in this research improves both the picking efficiency and customer satisfaction.
