1. A scheduling method applied to an electronic device, the scheduling method comprising:
sending a scheduling instruction to an actual stereoscopic warehouse management server and a stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server, and causing the actual stereoscopic warehouse management server to control a palletizer to execute scheduling operation according to the scheduling instruction, wherein the scheduling instruction corresponds to a target scheduling policy, the target scheduling policy including controlling the palletizer to transport, in accordance with an operation path in the target scheduling policy, materials from a fetching position to a storage position at a warehouse and store them into the warehouse;
determining that a fault occurs during the executing scheduling operation, the fault including a fetching position fault or a placing warehouse position fault;
transmitting fault information including a fault type of the fault and a fault identifier to the stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server;
determining that a fault identifier identical to the fault identifier of the transmitted fault information is found in a set of handleable-fault identifiers;
determining first optimization information according to the fault information and a prestored database including multiple fault types and scheduling optimization operations corresponding to the fault types respectively; wherein the first optimization information comprises a scheduling optimization operation for a case of a target scheduling policy scheduling fault, the first optimization information including a scheduling optimization operation for a case of the fetching position fault or a scheduling optimization operation for a case of the placing warehouse position fault;
determining a first scheduling update instruction based on the first optimization information; and
causing the actual stereoscopic warehouse management server to control the palletizer to execute updated scheduling operation according to the first scheduling update instruction to transport the materials and store them in the warehouse,
wherein prior to said sending a scheduling instruction to an actual stereoscopic warehouse management server and a stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server, the scheduling method further comprises:
acquiring multiple types of to-be-verified scheduling policies;
sending, according to each type of to-be-verified scheduling policy, a scheduling instruction corresponding to the to-be-verified scheduling policy to the stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server;
acquiring completion time for each to-be-verified scheduling policy to execute scheduling simulation in the stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server; and
determining the target scheduling policy among the multiple to-be-verified scheduling policies according to the completion time of scheduling simulation for each to-be-verified scheduling policy,
wherein said determining the target scheduling policy among the multiple to-be-verified scheduling policies according to the completion time of scheduling simulation for each to-be-verified scheduling policy comprises:
determining, among the multiple to-be-verified scheduling policies, a to-be-verified scheduling policy with the shortest completion time of scheduling simulation as the target scheduling policy, and
wherein prior to said acquiring completion time for each to-be-verified scheduling policy to execute scheduling simulation in the stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server, the scheduling method further comprises:
for each to-be-verified scheduling policy, responding to second optimization information regarding a simulation fault corresponding to the to-be-verified scheduling policy, and determining a corresponding second scheduling update instruction, wherein the second optimization information comprises a scheduling optimization operation for the case of the simulation fault of the corresponding to-be-verified scheduling policy; and
sending the second scheduling update instruction corresponding to the to-be-verified scheduling policy to the stereoscopic warehouse simulation model management server.
