The core of smart logistics is "cooperation and sharing". Smart logistics will drive the Internet into the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, force all links of the industrial chain to strengthen linkage and deepen integration with user needs, and accelerate the formation of the "collaborative sharing" ecological system.


In recent years, a number of "Internet +" logistics Internet platforms have emerged, breaking the traditional enterprise boundaries, deepening the division of labor and cooperation among enterprises, realizing the social transformation of stock resources and the maximum utilization of idle resources, which is a typical representative of smart logistics. Based on the concept of sharing economy and using the mobile Internet as a tool, a variety of car-goods matching enterprises and big data logistics service providers are all striving for the outlet of intelligent logistics.


Smart logistics needs to be integrated with new infrastructure for coordinated development. Today, as AI, Internet of Things and robot technology become mature, the logistics industry is undergoing tremendous changes. From warehousing to transportation to distribution, every link is being intelligent. The intelligent logistics based on the Internet and big data can further make the whole social coordination more possible.


Smart logistics coordination also reflects that it plays a good role in connecting talent flow and capital flow in the east and west, and the superior resources in the west can also use low-cost technology to develop outwardly. From the perspective of the international market, the construction of smart logistics facilities plays a lubricant role in the flow of value elements with countries along the Belt and Road.


The current problems of smart logistics are: first, the standardization lags behind; second, the efficiency of information sharing is not high.


The establishment of smart logistics information standards lags behind, and the construction of standardization system is not perfect. It is very important to support smart things to build new logistics industry rules and standards.


Smart logistics system not only needs to implement standardized management of logistics software, global positioning system and item bar coding involved in it, but also requires unified requirements on data exchange, data file format and information interface, so as to realize fast and accurate data transmission. At present, the industry development standard formulation process is slow, there are problems such as smart technology system standard is difficult to unify


Intelligent logistics needs information platform coordination and sharing. However different levels of logistics enterprises related hardware and software infrastructure, lead to the efficiency of information sharing is not high, therefore, needs to form a complete set of hardware and software facilities jointly improve, promote the coordinated and integrated development to further improve service ability, break the information asymmetry and information island phenomenon, full transparency will strengthen wisdom logistics base.


For the development of smart logistics, the government, enterprises and other parties need to make concerted efforts. From the government level, the government level should do a good job in top-level design, as well as long-term planning, strategic planning and systematic planning. From the enterprise level, enterprises should be encouraged to increase investment, independently develop and enhance innovation capabilities. It is impossible for smart logistics to rely on enterprises to fight alone. It is necessary to talk about coordination, break the bad habits of block segmentation and regional blockade, and establish the idea of a chess game between the whole country and the whole industry.


Smart logistics has become the common goal of the world, so we must put smart logistics into the world to observe and study, smart logistics is only a part of the smart earth, smart city, is a subsystem.


Through collaboration, we will deeply explore the value of smart logistics industry as a basic, pioneering, strategic and leading industry, and accelerate the development of logistics and e-commerce to enhance the resilience of China's supply chain.


In the future, with the development of "super-fusion technology", the business model of distributed, decentralized, "sharing, sharing, consensus and trust" will be established, and the sharing platform of intelligent logistics will surely become the trend of The Times. The rapidly growing smart logistics market is not only a bonus for logistics companies, but also benefits many industries.


3、Adaptation, seeking the balance of technology costs


Smart logistics refers to improving the ability of analysis, decision making and intelligent execution of logistics system and improving the intelligence and automation level of the entire logistics system through intelligent technologies and means such as intelligent hardware, Internet of things and big data.


The main challenge of smart logistics is whether the technology is mature enough. However, mature technology is not only available, but also in line with the economic cost, adapt to different scenarios, and safe enough to be applied to the logistics production environment.


For example, warehousing robots are used in the industry to achieve positioning and environmental understanding based on lidar. This solution is expensive, can only achieve positioning and navigation under two-dimensional maps, and cannot cooperate with people. Therefore, even though the technology is feasible in theory, it is difficult to be applied on a scale in practice.


The introduction of visual technology solutions based on machine vision real-time localization and environment understanding technology (VSLAM) has realized the advantages of low cost, multiple application scenarios, and no need to change the warehouse structure in a large area, so it is expected to be applied on a large scale.


There is no doubt that the adoption of smart logistics technology, to adapt, not only to meet the enterprise production, procurement and sales of intelligent system, but also to reduce logistics costs, improve enterprise profits; At a deeper level, the adaptive development of smart logistics is to improve the efficiency of the entire economic operation and reduce the operating cost of the entire supply chain, which is in line with the purpose of transforming and upgrading the economic operation from "speed type" to "quality type". Its fundamental characteristics are high efficiency, low cost and sustainable.


For example, some logistics parks have gone wrong in the aspect of intelligent logistics. They have their "name" and "table". Wisdom for wisdom's sake, with the so-called "wisdom", the cost increases, but people are busier. A real intelligent logistics park is not only an information matching platform, let alone an intelligent warehouse, but also an intelligent, digital and intelligent upgrade of the park.


Wisdom can transform the traditional logistics gene, intelligence changes the traditional logistics pattern, through the innovation and development of adaptive technology, comprehensive perception, collection, analysis, sharing, provides a new perspective for decision makers, and brings new hope for China's logistics enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.


Smart logistics, which integrates technology and logistics, not only matches, but also needs optimization and adaptation. For example, the matching of vehicles and goods needs to make the limited distribution of trucks in time and space realize the coupling of time and space with goods. That is, through the innovative algorithm of big data, the accurate prediction of the supply and demand of vehicles and goods, the effective matching of resources and the optimization of road transportation system can be realized.


At present, the core technologies of smart logistics include artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, big data, optimization technology and the Internet of Things, etc. However, efforts still need to be made to move from the theoretical concept of technology to the practical application, and to the entire logistics process such as warehousing, transportation and distribution. The mature technologies such as unmanned forklift truck, unmanned delivery and intelligent container pickup have advantages in both function realization and cost reduction, and have been widely applied in the field of intelligent logistics. Smart logistics should ultimately realize value-added services, improve efficiency and reduce costs.


The intelligent development of logistics has become an irresistible trend. The practical technology of the applicable scenario is selected to make the intelligent logistics a new growth point for the development of the logistics industry and a new path to improve the quality and efficiency. The logistics industry is still large but not strong, and the supporting and leading role of the real economy is not enough.



Conclusion: Of course, any technological change that changes the world cannot be achieved overnight. The intelligence of logistics industry is the general trend, but it needs to go a long and difficult course.
