Logistics automation has experienced a development process from traditional industries such as tobacco to the rapid rise of e-commerce and express industry demand;

Especially in the express industry, the rapid growth of express business brought by the booming e-commerce makes manual sorting unable to meet the requirements of express enterprises on capacity, time and cost. In this context, express delivery has become one of the fastest growing circuits of automation applications.

Internal and external factors jointly promote the rapid application of intelligent sorting in the express industry

Intelligent sorting can reduce the cost of single ticket sorting and improve the ceiling of sorting capacity. At the same time, the improvement of electronic surface single usage, the successful fundraising of express enterprises, and the rapid decline in the price of intelligent sorting equipment jointly provide external conditions for the popularization of intelligent sorting.

Cross belt is the most widely used intelligent sorting system in express delivery industry

After the rapid development in the first two years, the current number of cross belts in the express industry exceeds 1,000 sets. In the future, the market will be mainly supported by the advance planning of the normal business volume and the demand for renewal. The market size is expected to reach 3.5 billion yuan in 2021. The market concentration is high, with the first two equipment suppliers accounting for more than 40 percent of the express delivery stock market.

Intelligent sorting will be expanded to heavy transport and circulation enterprises in the future

With the further increase of e-commerce penetration rate of household and household electricity and the increase of small-batch and multi-batch ordering behavior, the requirement of fine sorting of large express delivery and small receipt will gradually break out;

In order to respond to consumer demand, the orders of terminal stores will become more personalized and fragmented, and intelligent sorting will play a more important role in large distribution centers.
