The logistics industry is entering the era of intelligence, and intelligent logistics welcomes the development opportunity period

AsiaIndustrial NetNews: In recent years, “industry4.0″ has become one of the hottest terms in the manufacturing industry. As one of the topics of the concept of Industry 4.0, intelligent logistics has naturally attracted widespread attention in the industry. With the prevalence of online shopping, the volume of express delivery business has increased sharply, and traditional logistics can no longer cope. With the massive amount of goods purchased online and the high cost of traditional express delivery, intelligent logistics has gradually become the mainstream trend in the development of the express logistics industry.

The logistics industry is entering the era of intelligence, and intelligent logistics welcomes the development opportunity period
With the development of “internet +”, the express logistics industry has entered the era of intelligence, and intelligent logistics is currently in a stage of rapid development. my country’s intelligent logistics market presents a situation of competition among multiple giants, and with the entry of e-commerce giants to integrate their respective logistics platforms, more capital will be involved in the future, and the entire industry will usher in a period of strategic development opportunities.
According to the “Market Demand Forecast and Investment Analysis Report of China’s Intelligent Logistics Industry” released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the market capacity of my country’s intelligent logistics equipment reached 68.4 billion yuan in 2015, 86.2 billion yuan in 2016, and is expected to reach 136 billion yuan in 2018. Yuan, with an annual growth rate of more than 20%.
When it comes to the concept of “smart logistics”, most people will think of it as a warehouserobot,actually not. Intelligent logistics is the use of integrated intelligent technology to enable commodities to be tracked and managed from the source, and realize information flow faster than physical logistics. It is an important link between supply, manufacturing and customers. Therefore, many manufacturing companies have raised questions: how can intelligent logistics be integrated into intelligent production?
As an important part of Industry 4.0, intelligent logistics can intelligentize the logistics process, take information interaction as the main line, and use advanced Internet of Things technologies such as barcodes, radio frequency identification, sensors, and global positioning to integrateautomationinformatization, artificial intelligence technology, through information integration, the whole process of logistics optimization and resource optimization, to automate the operation of goods transportation, warehousing, distribution, packaging, loading and unloading and achieve high-efficiency management.
Not only that, relying on automated management technology, intelligent logistics can also effectively improve the market adaptability and competitiveness of enterprises, provide customers with fast, convenient and accurate services, while reducing costs and reducing the consumption of natural and social resources.
At present, intelligent logistics is in a stage of rapid development. According to relevant data, intelligent logistics is the most widely used in the tobacco industry. The penetration rate of smart logistics exceeded 46%, higher than the national average of 20%, followed by the pharmaceutical and automotive industries.With the improvement and development of intelligent logistics, the future will bemechanicalThere is great demand in manufacturing, food and beverage, and retail, especially the application of intelligent logistics in the field of e-commerce, which will maintain a 100% growth in express delivery in the future.
With the continuous advancement of the intelligent manufacturing strategy, the intelligent transformation of factories is also steadily advancing. In this process, it is imperative for manufacturing enterprises to transform the intelligent logistics system. The transformation of the intelligent logistics system can not only strategically support the intelligent transformation and upgrading of enterprises, but also optimize and improve operating costs by improving the efficiency of logistics and distribution in the context of slowing economic growth and the relocation of manufacturing industries in various countries. .
Judging from the current situation, the application of informatization, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other technologies in my country has achieved certain results in the informatization operation of various logistics links such as logistics procurement, transportation, warehousing, and distribution of enterprises. However, the imperfect management system and mechanism, the low level of intelligence, the imperfect logistics information standard system, the lack of smart logistics professionals, and the influence of outdated concepts and funds have seriously restricted the further development of smart logistics for most enterprises in my country.
In the context of the gradual disappearance of the demographic dividend, the global manufacturing industry is ushering in a new round of upgrading opportunities. How to realize the seamless integration of logistics and information flow is the key point and difficulty that manufacturing enterprises in all walks of life must face in the process of keeping up with the pace of upgrading. As a part of the supply chain, logistics must be extended to the “smart supply chain” in the future. Through information technology, the integrated operation of business flow, logistics, information flow and capital flow will be implemented, so that the market, industry, enterprises and individuals will be connected. Together, realize intelligent management and intelligent life.
