Wisdom logistics crack efficiency ills

China's logistics market demand continues to expand, logistics infrastructure, continuous improvement, a variety of favorable factors to support and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. At the same time, logistics enterprises operating costs are high, uneven efficiency, low level of logistics information and other issues are still widespread. How to break the bottleneck, to achieve the operation of enterprises to reduce efficiency, is the logistics industry continue to explore an important topic. In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles, nobody positions, since mention counters, large data and other emerging technologies are applied to the field of logistics. This also means that relying on modern information technology to create the wisdom of logistics, the industry to work together in the direction.

Wisdom logistics crack efficiency ills

Intelligent Warehouse: Optimize manpower to reduce costs

The traditional logistics industry is known as labor-intensive industries, because the operation requires a large number of labor personnel engaged in sorting, distribution and other work. Only for the storage link, from the storage of goods, shelves, picking, and then to sorting, packaging, a library, each link needs the corresponding staff to complete.

Public information shows that by the end of 2008, the number of warehousing enterprises in China about 17,400, the warehousing industry staff of 51.1 million people. According to the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce, the China Storage and Distribution Association released the "China Storage Industry Development Report (2016)" shows that as of the end of 2015, the national warehousing enterprises have more than 30,000, employing about 96.6 million people.

Over the past few years, the rapid development of the storage industry is gratifying, but also indirectly exposed the traditional storage services in the existence of some crux. Due to low technical content, labor capital-intensive, resulting in fierce price competition, industry profit margins are low.

On the other hand, the development of China's electricity industry to vigorously promote the development of the logistics industry, and Internet genes with electric business enterprises to create a new storage system, a traditional warehouse transformation and upgrading of the advertised. Such as rookie wisdom warehouse, Jingdong no people warehouse, Suning Yuncang, etc., has shown a transformation of the traditional logistics industry results.

To Suning Yuncun, for example, in the last year's "double 11" on the eve of Suning for the first time to show off the cloud warehouse project in Nanjing. Suning Logistics Group Vice President Yao Kai said that with the application of large data technology to achieve the entire process of intelligent, Suning Yuncun daily processing parcel up to 1.81 million, the efficiency of the election per person per hour up to 1200, the fastest single order To achieve within 30 minutes out of the library. From the number of workers in the warehouse, the efficiency of a substantial increase in the case, compared to the industry's similar warehouses, can reduce more than a thousand people. It can be seen that the modernization of logistics equipment and advanced information technology to accelerate the development of logistics industry has become a further direction.

No one distribution: crack the traditional distribution problems

With the social development and productivity, driven by new technology to bring the storage logistics hardware upgrade is the trend. And compared to the storage link, modern technology to the logistics industry brought about by the end of the distribution changes, more easily perceived by consumers. It is also so, when the unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned vehicles and other new technology is gradually applied to the scene of life, will be so spectacular.

It can be said that the current domestic unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles to send a more high-profile business trip to Jingdong. In 2017 "618" during the promotion period, Jingdong distribution robot in Renmin University of China to complete the first single distribution task. In addition, in UAV applications, in February 2017, Jingdong and Shaanxi provincial government signed a strategic cooperation agreement on the construction of intelligent logistics system, the two sides together to build low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle general aviation logistics network. In June 2017, Jingdong announced the establishment of UAV national operations dispatch center in Suqian, and in Xi'an, Suqian two attempts to carry out UAV normalized distribution operations.

Whether the use of unmanned aerial vehicles or unmanned vehicles, no one is the essence of distribution in order to reduce labor costs. Jing Dong X business unit president Xiao Jun said that the UAV's air transport capacity, not only can be a lot of high-quality goods transported to remote and poor areas, improve the quality of life of local people, but also to the local fresh specialties quickly transported out, thus driving Local economic development. But it should be noted that seemingly convenient and efficient unmanned distribution, in practice, it is not easy to popularize. Previously, including Amazon, SF and other enterprises have tested with unmanned aerial vehicles delivery parcels. Although the domestic express delivery business test water unattended news, but around the UAV distribution may encounter flight standardization, compliance and other issues still exist.

Smart express cabinet: terminal distribution shunt pressure

Compared to still in the basic R & D or experimental stage of unmanned distribution, known as the current "last mile" distribution of the best solution.

The so-called intelligent express cabinet, also known as self-help container, is a collection of things, intelligent identification, dynamic passwords, wireless communications and other technologies in one, to achieve e-mail, intelligent parcels access, designated location access, 24 hours Access, remote monitoring and information dissemination and other functions of the application, the purpose is to improve the delivery efficiency of delivery and user mail access experience.

The current smart express cabinet "players" can be divided into three categories. Electricity to the Department of Jingdong, Suning-based; logistics platform, including Fengnai technology, Cixi e stack, etc .; third-party platforms such as Express Yi, rich friends and so on.

Statistics show that the number of smart express mail in 2015 has reached 80,000, through the express delivery of express mail delivery up to 1.25 million per day, accounting for 2.2% of the daily volume; 2016, the network has reached 15 Million, the daily delivery of 5.5 million single, accounting for 6.8% of daily orders. It is expected that the proportion of the index will exceed 11% by 2017, and the number of outlets will reach 350,000 by 2020. The delivery volume will reach 30% -40% of the total delivery.

You can see, by solving the express "last mile" to pay pain points, cut into the community, intelligent express cabinet access to a large group of high viscosity users. As one of the best entrance to community services, through the line equipment to connect people, connecting services, and then extended to the community life services such as a high degree of vertical consumption scenarios, intelligent express courier can gradually build a community integrated service platform, Up to the advantages of capacity, which also allows smart courier to the logistics business to bring greater imagination.

Large data: support for system operations upgrades

UAV, unmanned vehicles, is the technology driven by the hardware upgrade, behind all rely on a strong computing power, that is, large data support. It can be said that large data is the basis of intelligent logistics. For the logistics enterprises, compared to the unmanned delivery and other specific technology applications, in fact, more critical is the entire supply chain system, intelligent management.

Amazon's global vice president, Amazon Global Logistics China President Xue Xiaolin has introduced in the Amazon warehouse, the storage of items is a random shelves, which behind the management is a refined level of the embodiment, the ultimate goal is to optimize efficiency, Picking time, rely on the means of large data is the calculation of the intelligent system. Xue Xiaolin said that Amazon had had to calculate, if there is no intelligent system, every day a porter through the distance of about 27 km; through intelligent optimization, picking a day by the distance can be controlled within 5 km.

In addition, the application of large data is also reflected in the cross-border logistics. Xue Xiaolin said, "Amazon to the entire warehouse system network, such as in a region, a country and the world made a large warehouse system, the warehouse between the trunk transport, air transport, is tantamount to a warehouse in the corridor channel , The whole system of operation is by large data system to carry out. He said, for example, a few years ago, because the United States on the east coast of the snow, the Treasury, traffic and transport all paralyzed, but little effect on the Amazon, because the system will automatically re-distribution of orders from the Midwest to ship, although a long time A little, but still can be served, which is the effectiveness of the intelligent system.
