What does smart logistics look like under the Internet of Things

In the field of logistics, the Internet of Things is only a technical means, and the goal is to achieve intelligent logistics.

In today's era of the Internet of Things, in addition to obtaining information, intelligence also needs to transmit the collected information to the data center through the network, and the data center will make judgments and control and make real-time adjustments. So intelligence is actually a dynamic process of controlling reactions, which is constantly adjusted. This adjustment is based on the judgment and control of real-time collected information, to move, to have networking, to run.

It can be seen that automation, informatization, and networking are the three main characteristics that can reflect the intelligence of this era.

The emergence of intelligent logistics marks that informatization has reached a dynamic, real-time selection and control management level in the integration of network and control processes. Therefore, we must determine the positioning of informatization according to our actual level and customer needs. Intelligent logistics will be the direction of the future development of the logistics industry.

The logistics industry is the first industry to come into contact with the Internet of Things, and it is also the first to apply the Internet of Things technology. The concept of intelligent logistics is in line with the development trend of the Internet of Things.

To put it simply, intelligent logistics can use bar codes, radio frequency identification technology, sensors, global positioning systems and other IoT technologies, and then widely used in the logistics industry through information processing and network communication technology platform transportation, warehouse, distribution, packaging, loading and unloading and other links, which use a lot of sensors, controllers, mobile communication technology, to achieve automatic operation of the cargo transportation process and efficient optimization of management, improve the service level of the logistics industry, and reduce costs.

The most well-known identification technology is barcode identification technology, which is currently the most widely used automatic identification technology, which is the use of photoelectric scanning equipment to read barcode symbols, so as to achieve automatic information entry.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is a modern automatic identification technology developed in recent years, which is a reader device that uses induction, radio wave or microwave technology to read radio frequency tags in a non-contact manner to achieve the purpose of automatic data collection.

GIS is a key technology and tool to build intelligent logistics, using GIS can build a logistics map, order information, delivery information, vehicle information, customer information and other data are managed in a map, to achieve fast and intelligent ordering, reasonable layout of outlets, reasonable planning of delivery routes, package monitoring and management.

Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you. Smart logistics is a concept jointly proposed by the Information Center of China Logistics Technology Association, Huaxia Internet of Things, and Logistics Technology and Application Department in December 2009. Intelligent logistics is the use of integrated intelligent technology, so that the logistics system can imitate human intelligence, with thinking, perception, learning, reasoning and judgment and the ability to solve some problems in logistics by themselves.

The Logistics Engineering Design Institute of the China Association of Materials believes that there is a difference between the two: the logistics that can realize the process of perception, interaction, analysis, discovery and decision-making is smart logistics, and intelligent logistics only replaces people's labor, not people's decision-making.

Intelligent Kaishou logistics technology is a logistics management and operation model based on the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, aiming to improve logistics efficiency, reduce logistics costs, and optimize logistics service experience. Accompanying Sun Chop mainly includes the following aspects:

1.Real-time tracking and monitoring: Through the Internet of Things technology, the location, temperature, humidity and other information in the logistics and transportation process can be monitored in real time to ensure the safety and accuracy of logistics items.

2.Intelligent scheduling and path planning: Through big data and artificial intelligence technology, transportation paths can be intelligently dispatched and planned according to factors such as the type, quantity, and transportation distance of goods, so as to improve transportation efficiency and reduce costs.

3.** and early warning: Through big data and artificial intelligence technology, it is possible to carry out ** and early warning of possible problems in the process of logistics and transportation, so as to take timely countermeasures.

4.Automated and intelligent warehousing: Through the Internet of Things and robotics, the automation and intelligence of logistics warehousing can be realized to improve the efficiency and accuracy of warehousing.

The application of intelligent logistics technology can help logistics enterprises improve operational efficiency and service quality, reduce costs, and enhance market competitiveness. At the same time, it can also improve the transparency and traceability of the logistics system and create more value for society.

Intelligent logistics is the use of integrated intelligent technology, so that the logistics system can quietly imitate human intelligence, with thinking, perception, learning, reasoning and judgment and the ability to solve some problems in logistics. The future development of intelligent logistics will reflect four characteristics: intelligence, integration and hierarchy, flexibility and socialization.

Smart logistics concept

1) Intelligent warehousing systemIt is the use of software technology, Internet technology, automatic sorting technology, light guide technology, radio frequency identification (RFID), voice control technology and other advanced scientific and technological means and equipment to effectively plan, implement and control the logistics activities of goods in and out of the warehouse, storage, sorting, packaging, distribution and information, mainly including: identification system, handling system, storage system, sorting system and management system.

2) Smart logisticsIt refers to improving the ability of logistics system analysis and decision-making and intelligent execution through intelligent technologies and means such as intelligent hardware, Internet of Things, and big data, and improving the intelligence and automation level of the entire logistics system. Smart logistics emphasizes the fast, efficient and smooth operation of information flow and material flow, so as to reduce social costs, improve production efficiency and integrate social resources.

Smart logistics can realize the automation, visualization, controllability, intelligence and networking of logistics, so as to improve resource utilization and productivity levels, and realize the "cost reduction and efficiency increase" of the logistics industry.

With the innovation and improvement of information technology and intelligent manufacturing, the development of smart logistics industry will go through four stages: foundation period, introduction period, growth period and maturity period. Among them, the basic period is based on RFID technology, GPS technology and other technology promotion, aiming to establish a RFID-based cargo traceability system, the introduction period will be a further breakthrough in wireless sensing technology, the growth period will realize the full operation of the Internet of Things, and the mature period will form a completely intelligent logistics operation system. At present, the development of China's smart logistics industry is in the transition stage from the basic period to the introduction period, and there is a large space for development in the future.

The application of the Internet of Things in the field of logistics is introduced as follows:

First, the intelligent traceability network system of products: in the fields of medicine, agricultural products, food, tobacco and other industries, the product traceability system plays a huge role in cargo tracking, identification, inquiry, information collection and management, etc., and the traceability system based on Internet of Things technology provides a guarantee for the quality and safety of products.

The second is the visual intelligent management network system of the logistics process: based on GPS satellite navigation and positioning technology, RFID technology, sensing technology and other technologies, the real-time realization of vehicle positioning, transportation monitoring, scheduling and distribution visualization and management system in the logistics process. At present, the transparent and visual management of logistics operations has been initially realized, and the fully networked and intelligent visual management network has yet to be developed.

The third is an intelligent enterprise logistics distribution center: based on sensors, RFID and other Internet of Things technologies, the establishment of intelligent control of logistics operations, automatic operation of the network, to achieve the full automation of the logistics distribution center, to achieve logistics and production linkage, and with business flow, information flow, capital flow comprehensive coordination.

Fourth, the wisdom of the enterprise: based on the Internet of Things technology to upgrade the logistics support network system of smart logistics and smart chain, to meet the rapid development of e-commerce and intelligent manufacturing and other environments of a large number of personalized needs and orders, to help enterprises accurately meet customer needs, to achieve the wisdom of the entire chain.

Intelligent logistics technology is the use of integrated intelligent technology, so that the logistics system can imitate human intelligence, with thinking, perception, learning, reasoning and judgment and the ability to solve some problems in logistics by itself. Intelligent logistics takes logistics management as the core, and realizes the integration of transportation, storage, packaging, orange mold loading and unloading and other links in the logistics process and the hierarchical intelligent logistics system. The system wisdom state is concentrated in the fact that smart logistics is not an independent and unrelated logistics system, but each link can be connected to each other.

The system of sharing data and optimizing resource allocation provides the most powerful system support for all aspects of logistics, so that all links can cooperate, coordinate and collaborate.

Intelligent logistics is the use of integrated intelligent technology, so that the logistics system can imitate human intelligence, with thinking, perception, learning, reasoning and judgment and the ability to solve some problems in logistics by themselves.

The future development of intelligent Fengwu logistics will reflect four characteristics: intelligence, integration and hierarchy, flexibility and socialization. A large number of operations in the process of logistics operations and intelligent decision-making; With logistics management as the core, the integration of scattered information and the hierarchical intelligent logistics system of transportation, storage, packaging, loading and unloading in the logistics process are realized; The development of intelligent logistics will give more prominence to the concept of "customer-centric", and flexibly adjust the production process according to the changes in consumer demand; The development of intelligent logistics will promote the development of regional economy and the optimal allocation of world resources, and realize socialization.
