Chapter 898: New Logistics
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a cold wind blew in the capital.
As we approach November, the weather is starting to cool down, but the streets are still crowded.
The large-scale intelligent logistics center built by Jingdong Company in Beijing is transformed from the distribution center that they have only built and has not yet been put into use.
However, even if it has been renovated, it is quite large.
At around 4:20, a convoy came to the logistics center, and the main person in charge of the logistics center waited here.
After the convoy stopped in the logistics center, Mr. Liu came down first and introduced the person in charge of the intelligent warehousing and logistics center here to Xu Ran.
Xu Ran and the other party didn't say much to each other, and followed Mr. Liu into the logistics center.
However, when Xu Ran entered the building facilities of this logistics center, the first thing that caught his eye was the facilities of a huge tree-like structure.
This 'giant tree' is about ten meters high, almost reaching the dome, with many branches, densely packed I don't know how many, but it does not look messy, and it is very orderly and organized.
Actually, this is the main body of a large sorting facility, but it is quite ingenious to have such a design.
Mr. Liu took Xu Ran to the vicinity of the giant tree, and Xu Ran saw that the bifurcated joints of the giant tree had an industrial robot specially designed and installed for him.
The robots had multiple robotic arms, each with a scanning device on its wall.
Now, the giant tree is in working condition.
Whenever a package is sent to the main trunk of the giant tree, a scan is performed there, and the robot sorts the scanned packages and assigns them to different bifurcated joints.
When they arrive at the bifurcation joint, the robot there scans it again and then sorts it to different branches, where the packages are transported to different parts of the area, where there are also special robots that sort and start packing in a unified way.
According to Mr. Liu, the main body of this giant tree is interconnected with the intelligent network platform, which also belongs to artificial intelligence management, mainly in terms of point-to-point multidirectionality.
Each forked node actually represents a regional distribution center and a large area, when the package is sent to these large areas by the robot scanning code, and then it is sorted again, and then transmitted to the small area represented by other branches.
For example, there is a large distribution center in Area A, when the package is scanned to belong to Area A, it will be sorted to Area A, and then Area A will scan again to determine that it belongs to Area A1 distribution point, and then carry out detailed distribution.
These steps are controlled by artificial intelligence and robots, which are more efficient than the original sorting facilities.
After the parcels are assigned to the refined small area, the packages that are gathered in the small area will be transported by the robot into a special cargo box.
This cargo box is not the same as the general cargo box, it is also composed of electronic equipment, there are many drawer-like lattice-like facilities, different sizes, according to the size of the package and different specifications, will be sent to different compartments by robots.
When the container is loaded with parcels, the robot transports them into a truck that has been waiting there for a long time.
And these processes are completed by robots throughout the process, even if manual labor is used, they are only staring here to ensure that there will be no major mistakes in some links.
Xu Ran walked to a sorting point belonging to Chaoyang District, and saw that a truckload of packages had been loaded there.
He walked up to the truck and saw a person in the truck, who was not focused on driving the truck, but was holding a flat plate and operating on it.
Mr. Liu walked over, asked the employee to get out of the car, and asked for the tablet, and saw that it was also a terminal management platform connected to the intelligent network, and the list information of all the packages distributed in the truck was listed.
According to the introduction, the parcels of this truck will be delivered to the service stations or community express parcels in different places in Chaoyang District, and the platform will allocate them according to the principle of distance priority.
Every time you go to a place, because there is a whole artificial intelligence for positioning monitoring, after arriving at the area where the package belongs, the terminal system on the tablet will send a message and voice prompt, and will also send the package information to the user to receive.
When the vehicle arrives at the destination, the corresponding drawer in the cargo box will automatically pop out of the package, if the user comes out to receive, then the person in charge of the car will complete the package signature handover, if the user does not see the user receive, then the person in charge will send the package to the service point or the express storage point of the residential area, very fast.
And this link, the most important thing is to save the time of the courier to the user's link to find the user's package in the car, which will be more efficient and faster than the traditional way of sending the express delivery.
However, these are all trivial matters, and they have already reached the link of the user terminal.
Xu Ran mainly understood this link of distribution in large and small areas.
Mr. Liu introduced that if it is a cross-provincial express business, the package will be received by the agent when it arrives in the province, and the cooperative agent will also join the artificial intelligence management system of the intelligent network.
After Xu Ran had a general understanding of the whole process, although he felt that some of the details of the process could be omitted and refined, he did not bring it up.
Immediately, he did not continue to visit, and after going to the office of the logistics center, Xu Ran asked Mr. Liu about his next plan.
Since the intelligent logistics system established in the vicinity of the capital has achieved initial results and success, and the operational efficiency of logistics has been greatly improved, Mr. Liu will next plan to take the capital as the core and gradually spread outward in a vertical structure.
In addition, Mr. Liu also plans to establish eight large-scale fully intelligent automated warehousing and logistics centers across the country, coupled with the cooperation of the previously established logistics system, to improve the logistics operation efficiency of the surrounding areas of major first-tier cities, and then spread to other underdeveloped provinces year by year.
After Mr. Liu said his plan, Xu Ran thought about it.
To build eight large-scale fully intelligent automatic warehousing and logistics centers, then take the successful example of Beijing as a template, the number of robots required will be greatly increased geometrically, and the demand for new smart trucks and electronic cargo boxes will also increase.
For smart trucks and electronic cargo boxes, there will naturally be Jianlin Automobile Company and Hengfei Electronics to worry about.
Xu Ran's side is mainly supporting artificial intelligence and customized robots.
With the production capacity of the robot company in Jiangcheng, in addition to the customized robot brands that are currently selling well in the market, only the order of Jingdong Company requires Xu Ran to increase the expansion of the robot industry.
However, Xu Ran had already expected this, after he implemented the matter in the material industry last time, he sent Li Ruhong and Liu Weikun to inspect the robot industry base in Shencheng and Hangzhou, which was also valued by the two governments, and they were striving for this investment.
It seems that this matter will be implemented as soon as possible. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
