用图神经网络+Transformer优化多深仓库存取效率,减少延迟。

Topology-Aware and Highly Generalizable Deep Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Retrieval in Multi-Deep Storage Systems

  • 构建图结构状态表示,融合物品属性与仓库拓扑信息。
  • 训练后的智能体使总延迟降低43.6%,优于传统启发式方法。
  • 模型可泛化至不同布局仓库,适合复杂仓储场景应用。

在现代工业与物流环境中,快速配送服务的迅猛发展推动了高密度、高效率存储系统的需求。多深自主车辆存取系统(AVS/RS)是实现更高存储密度的可行方案,但在取货操作中常因巷道阻塞面临挑战。传统做法将同质物品集中存放于单一巷道,但限制了系统的灵活性与适应性。本文提出一种基于深度强化学习的框架,解决异构物品配置下的多深仓储取货问题。每个物品关联特定交货日期,目标是最小化总延迟。为有效捕捉系统拓扑,引入图状状态表示,整合物品属性与局部拓扑结构。设计结合图神经网络(GNN)与Transformer的新型神经网络架构:GNN对所有可访问物品编码拓扑与属性信息,Transformer将嵌入映射为全局优先级。得益于Transformer强泛化能力,该方法可应用于不同布局的仓储系统。大量数值实验表明,所提架构显著优于启发式方法,训练智能体能有效降低总延迟。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In modern industrial and logistics environments, the rapid expansion of fast delivery services has heightened the demand for storage systems that combine high efficiency with increased density. Multi-deep autonomous vehicle storage and retrieval systems (AVS/RS) present a viable solution for achieving greater storage density. However, these systems encounter significant challenges during retrieval operations due to lane blockages. A conventional approach to mitigate this issue involves storing items with homogeneous characteristics in a single lane, but this strategy restricts the flexibility and adaptability of multi-deep storage systems. In this study, we propose a deep reinforcement learning-based framework to address the retrieval problem in multi-deep storage systems with heterogeneous item configurations. Each item is associated with a specific due date, and the objective is to minimize total tardiness. To effectively capture the system's topology, we introduce a graph-based state representation that integrates both item attributes and the local topological structure of the multi-deep warehouse. To process this representation, we design a novel neural network architecture that combines a Graph Neural Network (GNN) with a Transformer model. The GNN encodes topological and item-specific information into embeddings for all directly accessible items, while the Transformer maps these embeddings into global priority assignments. The Transformer's strong generalization capability further allows our approach to be applied to storage systems with diverse layouts. Extensive numerical experiments, including comparisons with heuristic methods, demonstrate the superiority of the proposed neural network architecture and the effectiveness of the trained agent in optimizing retrieval tardiness.
