William himself was indeed shocked by the automation and information operation process of Taobao Logistics.

As a well-informed prince of a developed country, he really has never seen such an advanced warehousing and logistics sorting system, so that William kept exclaiming at the scene, and even praised Li Mu in front of him: "Mr. Li, Taobao's warehousing and logistics have subverted my inherent impression of warehousing and logistics. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "This is not a big achievement, but a necessary process of industrial upgrading, with the development of science and technology in the future, automation and informatization will be valued in any industry, and become the key to industrial upgrading." ”

William asked: "Mr. Li, according to your ideas, in the future, all industries can actually be upgraded with automation and informatization like Taobao's warehousing and logistics?"

Li Mu nodded: "Of course, this is the trend of future social and industrial development. ”

William couldn't help but ask: "What height do you think Taobao's warehousing and logistics automation can reach in the next stage?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Our pursuit is to do as much work as possible, handed over to advanced machines instead of manual completion, you see, in the future our warehousing will develop into full automation, after the goods are transported in, from sorting to classification and warehousing, all use automation equipment, and after receiving orders, from picking up to sorting to outbound, but also all developed into automation." ”

Speaking of this, Li Mu said with a serious face: "In the future, our storage center will be larger than this, even large enough to accommodate a whole Boeing 747 production line, and with the continuous development of automation, our efficiency will continue to improve, and the manpower demand will continue to decline." ”

Subsequently, Li Mu took William to the transportation center supporting the warehousing and sorting center.

William's vision of the transportation center shook William even more.

Here, there is a huge frame building the size of a large passenger aircraft hangar, but there is no equipment in the building, and the huge space is almost full of containers and container trucks.

In the innermost part of the plant, there is a working platform with a width of more than 100 meters, a length of more than 100 meters, and a height of about 1 meter, which is directly connected to the sorting center, and a large number of packaged packages are transported to this operating platform by forklifts.

Under the more than one meter high operating platform, one after another is full of unified standard container trucks, the tail of the container and the operating platform are docked perfectly, and the height of the two is almost identical, providing great convenience for loading and unloading.

This is the importance of unified standards, the entire trunk transportation of Makino Technology, the tractors are all imported, and the height of the container trailer is all the same, ensuring that their vehicles go to any sorting center and can be seamlessly connected with the operation platform.

Here, dozens of container trucks are parked side by side at once, and almost every minute they are loaded and driven out, and immediately after that, a car comes in from outside to continue loading and unloading.

William was dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "Mr. Li, the throughput here is really too large, and there are almost constant cars coming in and out." ”

Li Mu nodded and said: "Yanjing's sorting center not only covers the cargo throughput of the entire Yanjing, but also is responsible for most of North China, it is the hub of most of North China, so the cargo throughput will be larger." ”

William nodded and watched intently, there were hundreds of workers busy on the entire work platform, dozens of forklifts and trailers shuttling back and forth, but everything seemed to be in order, without the slightest sense of chaos.

What surprised William even more was that the fastest time for a car to come in, unload to load and leave the yard was almost less than ten minutes, which was simply very fast.

He couldn't help but ask Li Mu: "Mr. Li, how did the speed of car turnover be so fast?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "This is thanks to our information management system, and our inbound and outbound system specially designed for freight cars is designed and operated in a highly rigorous way in accordance with railway dispatching." ”

As he spoke, Li Mu pointed to the lanes drawn more than two meters below the work platform and said, "You see, every truck parking space is like a railroad track, and these parking spaces are specially numbered, just like a train platform." ”

"The cars you see are equipped with radio frequency equipment, and the equipment records information about their vehicles, such as who the driver is, what the car is carrying, where it comes from, what goods it is going to pick up, and where it is going. ”

"In this way, when they enter the base, their cargo arrangements have been sent to the work platform, and the central dispatch will arrange for him to wait in line outside, and arrange the parking space he wants to enter in advance. ”

"For example, when he was queuing up outside, the dispatcher had already allocated the 10th parking space for him, and then notified the worker in charge of the 10th parking space, informing him how many packages the car was going to unload, and informing him which packages the car was going to load and leave, and the workers would prepare the packages he was going to take away in advance. ”

After the 10th parking space in front of the one leaves, the dispatcher will notify 366 to enter the 10th parking space, after he comes in, the worker will immediately unload the goods in his car, and then load the goods prepared in advance, after the check is completed, notify the dispatcher, and the dispatcher will arrange 366 to leave, and then notify the next car to enter the station. ”

"This efficient loading, the fastest, can be completed in less than 10 minutes. ”

William exclaimed: "Oh my God, the arrangement is so tight, no wonder the delivery efficiency of Taobao Logistics can be so high." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "The next stage we are testing the large-span gantry crane equipment in the factory, in the future, there may be seven or eight sets of gantry crane equipment in operation in this plant at the same time, each set of gantry crane is responsible for several lanes, these container trucks in the field, there is no need to wait for loading and unloading, after the car comes in, the gantry crane immediately picks up the goods it transports together with the container, and then packs the goods in advance and it wants to take away, directly with the container on the frame to transport away, so that the efficiency will be further improved. ”

William exclaimed: "This system is so smart and the efficiency improvement is amazing. ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "At that time, our front yard uses gantry cranes to quickly load and unload trucks, and the back yard uses automatic sorting and packing equipment to quickly pack sorted packages and load them into designated containers in advance. Unloading, continuous circulation, the container is like the blood in our human body, constantly transporting oxygen to the body, and at the same time transporting carbon dioxide outside the body, do you think, how much more efficient will we be at that time?"

William was secretly speechless and said: "In this way, the logistics efficiency has almost reached its peak." ”

Li Mu shook his head with a smile and said: "The peak is still far away, in the future, we must first reform all the links that can be reformed, and even the transportation and delivery links must be automated revolution." ”

William said: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be necessary to develop unmanned technology?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Unmanned driving will definitely be developed in the future, and it will continue to innovate and improve until it can replace people on the road." ”

William couldn't help but ask: "Will Makino Technology or Taobao develop autonomous driving technology in the future for automatic transportation and automatic delivery?"

Li Mu said: "This is not necessarily, but one thing is certain, the high-tech industry is a huge industrial chain, and no company can form an independent ecology and closed loop in this industrial chain, so Muye Technology does not pursue to control the entire industrial chain." ”

Saying that, Li Mu explained again: " In the future, advanced Internet products should be a combination of many products and technologies, just like the current home computer, buy a processor from Intel, buy a graphics card from NVIDIA, buy memory particles from Samsung, and then buy an operating system from Microsoft, because of this model, so I think there will be many companies in the future to develop unmanned technology, if this also includes Makino technology, then we will try our best to do our best, if it does not include Makino technology, then we will buy the best cost performance from them, and then match other technologies and products from other homes to achieve our autonomous driving needs。 ”

William nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "I really hope to see Makino Technology's self-driving trucks shuttling across the land of China as soon as possible." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Don't worry, there will be this day, I will definitely invite you to visit at that time." ”

……

The news that Li Mu took William to visit Taobao soon spread to all walks of life through the official media channels of Muye Technology.

When the relevant interview information of Taobao Logistics was posted on the Internet, it sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

Although most of the domestic netizens have been in contact with Taobao, they still don't know how Taobao operates behind it, and after seeing these videos and pictures, they understand that Taobao has developed to such an advanced point.

No wonder Taobao can achieve the most incredible ultra-high timeliness on the market, it turns out that all of this is supported by powerful software and hardware at the same time.

The Western media were also shocked by the message released by Makino Technology.

In their eyes, although the Internet in China has sprung up, their overall industrial base is still very weak compared with the developed countries in the West, and the level of social development is far behind.

In their inherent impression, the sorting center of Huaxia Logistics should be a large group of people around the simple equipment to quickly screen and include, and the transportation and delivery link is a postman riding a bicycle to climb the mountains and wade through the water, and deliver the package to the recipient little by little.

However, they never expected that Taobao Logistics would be so advanced...... https://./3_3245/
