Technology empowers the entire chain of smart logistics

       Logistics is the "muscle and sinew" of the real economy, connecting production and consumption. Promoting the transformation and upgrading of the logistics industry helps cultivate new driving forces for economic development and improve the overall operational efficiency of the national economy.

       Recently, reporters followed the fourth "Flowing China" themed interview activity to visit the exploration and practice of enterprises under China Logistics Group in warehousing, loading and unloading, transportation, and logistics equipment manufacturing, seeking the innovative password behind the vigorous development of new quality productivity in the logistics industry and the realization of quality improvement, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancement through transformation and upgrading.

       Smart warehousing accelerates logistics operation efficiency.

       As a key link in the logistics chain, warehousing provides strong support for the efficient operation of the logistics system.

       In the Luzhou Chengtong Logistics Park of the Liquor Business Division of China Logistics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Liquor Business Division"), a sorting area of 7,000 square meters can efficiently complete all order allocations with just 10 people.

       "Our self-service order platform has a one-click printing function and allows for 'fool-proof' operation," said Wu Qinlong, director of the Digital Innovation Center of the Liquor Business Division. After the order system receives the logistics order, it will dispatch it to the truck driver, who can obtain pickup information through a mobile terminal and quickly process the order through the self-service order platform in the logistics park, waiting for pickup.

       At the same time, the warehouse is also in operation. "When it's time for shipment, electric forklifts will take the goods down in advance and transport them to the sorting line for intelligent scanning and coding," said Mu Chen, deputy general manager of the Liquor Business Division. After the freight driver completes the pickup, these liquors are sent to various places across the country.

       "The technological products developed and the warehousing model created by the Liquor Business Division according to our requirements have saved nearly 50% of the labor in the internal logistics transfer process, and the processing time for a single workflow has been reduced by 60%," said Huang Lietong, deputy general manager of the Supply Chain Management Center of Luzhou Laojiao Group.

       Digital technology solves problems in the freight industry.

       Freight transportation is the link connecting supply and demand. How to effectively connect the various entities on this link? The network freight platform created by China Storage Intelligent Transportation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Storage Intelligent Transportation") uses digital technology to solve this industry problem.

       Standing in front of the large screen at the data center of China Storage Intelligent Transportation, one can directly see the driver information, cargo information, and vehicle location details corresponding to the vehicles.

       "One end of the platform connects 38,000 cargo owners, and the other end connects 3.02 million drivers. China Storage Intelligent Transportation accurately pushes cargo sources to truck drivers through algorithms, minimizing the driver's empty load rate, pickup time, and various costs incurred in between, making it an important way for truck drivers to find cargo sources," said Zhou Chuntao, secretary of the party committee and executive vice president of China Storage Intelligent Transportation.

       In the transportation link, the importance of cargo safety is self-evident. Zhou Chuntao introduced that the China Storage Intelligent Transportation platform digitally controls the entire process of each transportation business, integrating logistics, information flow, capital flow, document flow, and trajectory flow into one, customizing a unique "digital ID card" for each piece of cargo, making the "action trajectory" of each item clear and visible, while also providing reliable protection for cargo safety.

       Hardcore weighing equipment becomes a "helper" for freight overload management.

       The automation and intelligence of logistics equipment are indispensable for creating smart logistics.

       As a specialized transportation logistics equipment manufacturing enterprise under China Logistics Group, China Storage Hengke Internet of Things System Co., Ltd. relies on its professional advantages in weighing instruments to focus on the dynamic weighing track, with dynamic truck scales being one of its "flagship" products.

       "We collect the gravity information of the wheels by laying professional sensors on the road surface, and then use intelligent algorithms to determine whether the truck is overloaded," said Gu Jianbin, deputy general manager of China Storage Hengke Internet of Things System Co., Ltd. This dynamic truck scale can be applied in scenarios such as highway entrances and toll stations, accurately collecting the weight information of vehicles while they are in motion, thus providing a complete evidence chain for traffic law enforcement departments to manage overload.

       "This set of 'hard technology' greatly improves the efficiency of managing overload phenomena, providing an invisible 'thousand-mile eye' for maintaining road transport safety, allowing for quick detection of any speeding or overload at any time," Gu Jianbin said.
