In order to cope with the growing volume of express delivery business, e-commerce logistics and first-line express companies in recent years pay more and more attention to the upgrade of logistics automation, large-scale application of automatic sorting equipment. According to statistics, in in 2019, the number of automation equipment in express companies generally increased by more than 50%. Among them, yto, in the first half of 2019, the increase of automation equipment doubled; Best express sorting system to achieve fully intelligent sorting, the number of automation equipment increased by 55% compared with last year; For zto, single-layer automatic sorting lines across the country were upgraded to double-layer, and Guangzhou Huadu Transfer center handled 72,000 express deliveries per hour.
The peak season for express delivery this year will be 103 days from early November to the eve of the 2021 Spring Festival, which falls on Feb 12, a state official said. During the "Double 11" period, there will be a peak season for express delivery. The business volume of the whole industry will reach 5.78 billion, and the average daily business volume is expected to reach 490 million, about twice the daily business volume.
Faced with such a huge amount of express delivery, express enterprises how to ensure efficient delivery and distribution? Express delivery companies across the country have added 490,000 temporary workers, 100,000 vehicles and 5.39 million square meters of processing space to boost capacity reserves. The railway sector has also strengthened cooperation with e-commerce, express delivery enterprises, in order to adapt to the logistics market demand, the railway sector of e-commerce golden week transport period from the previous 10 days to 20 days, and launched "high-speed railway extremely fast" and other services, covering more than 80 large and medium-sized cities.
A variety of measures in parallel, so that many have placed an order of consumers a lot of peace of mind, for express delivery can arrive as soon as possible the sense of stability has been enhanced. Recently, intelligent automation of gansu province is a big express distribution equipment in the lanzhou provincial sorting center enabled all motion, the motion of the sorting equipment upgrade overweight a number of independent research and development of black, science and technology for the differentiation of goods processing, research and development unit separation system, fault detection, pieces, automated processing, to the small unmanned intelligent innovation product such as loading and unloading platform, The whole process of unloading, supplying parts, sorting and loading has been realized.
Intelligent logistics system usually consists of automatic production lines, automatic warehouse system, automated handling and conveying system, automated sorting and selection system and electrical control and information management system and other parts, can effectively reduce the labor costs, improve efficiency of manufacture and circulation, goods sorting is one of very important link.
With the application of big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, such as unmanned sorting and unmanned distribution, the competition between enterprises is also in full swing. One of the major advantages of unmanned logistics is to improve efficiency and reduce costs, which is also the original intention of express enterprises to layout unmanned logistics.
Automation and intelligence have also become the "key words" of the logistics industry.
The role of automatic information interaction is "person and device", while that of intelligent information is "device and device". Different ways of information interaction determine different application models. What is device-to-device information interaction? That is, after the upstream device reads the information, the upstream sorting device can sort it, and at the same time, the sorted information and the read information can be passed to the downstream device and sorted according to the same information. Suitable for small objects non-special bulk sorting reciprocating sorting machine, as a new type of intelligent sorting products, the machine is small and set sweeping code weighing sorting in one, the cost is low, easy to use, has been recognized by many users.
Of course, cooperative robots have also become a major force in sorting goods. Because of their flexibility, collaborative robots are also playing an increasingly important role in the logistics industry. Relying on the rapid development of e-commerce industry, China has been at the forefront of logistics automation in the world. From building science and technology systems and intelligent equipment to launching new unmanned logistics technologies such as delivery robots and intelligent express delivery sorting systems, it has become the trend of The Times to introduce more cutting-edge technologies and equipment in the logistics industry.
Some analysts believe that with the increasing perfection of big data algorithms, the gradual standardization of express mail information and the integration of intelligent control system, the sorting system and intelligent sorting equipment will become the key link in the transformation of the logistics industry from labor-intensive industry to intelligent industry. In the future, there will be more versatile, convenient use of smart devices emerge.
