The Internet of Things is in the logistics industry

Demand stimulation, the technology of Internet of Things is also in the logistics industry, such as the application of IoT in the Logistics field will greatly enhance the logistics industry automation, intelligence, high efficiency and low cost, can promote the effective integration of logistics services, the development of logistics industry will have a significant positive significance.

(Reporter Wu Ze) in our impression, logistics is nothing but warehouses, transportation. Suppose: The smallest enterprise, also must use invoicing to manage their own inventory, that is, more than 80% of the enterprise must know what they have in the warehouse, the largest enterprises, but may not know their goods in which car. Coincidentally, road transport at present is a necessary part of all commercial logistics.

Logistics Informatization

The traditional logistics industry, 5 million vehicles a day in transit, telephone to dispatch and monitor, cash transactions settlement. If you want to know exactly where the goods are, you may need to link thousands of business points and flip the books and notes in the drawer to see how each shipping fee actually happens. The asymmetry of information constitutes a huge black hole, and uncertainty makes the cost of basic logistics not controllable. In this information black hole, information is only entered, not out.

In modern logistics industry, CIOs are beginning to realize that the extension of industrial chain and the maturing of information technology make the future development of logistics enterprises be based on supply chain service, because modern logistics construction must be able to respond quickly to the market and quickly integrate resources to make logistics, Capital flow and information flow to achieve the optimal integration of the management model.

Demand stimulation, the technology of Internet of Things is also in the logistics industry, such as the application of IoT in the Logistics field will greatly enhance the logistics industry automation, intelligence, high efficiency and low cost, can promote the effective integration of logistics services, the development of logistics industry will have a significant positive significance.

Specific to each link, mainly in:

1. Production Logistics Link

If we introduce the technology of IoT in the production logistics, can be achieved in the production of raw materials, components, semi-finished products, finished product tracking and identification of the whole process, so that on the one hand can reduce the cost of manual tracking identification (including labor costs and time costs), on the other hand, can improve the efficiency and accuracy of tracking recognition.

Demand stimulation, the technology of Internet of Things is also in the logistics industry, such as the application of IoT in the Logistics field will greatly enhance the logistics industry automation, intelligence, high efficiency and low cost, can promote the effective integration of logistics services, the development of logistics industry will have a significant positive significance.

2. Transport Logistics Links

If we introduce the technology of IoT in the transport logistics, that is, we can know the exact location and the state of the goods in real time if we only attach electronic identification labels to the goods and vehicles in transit and install some information receiving and forwarding devices on the transport lines.

3. Warehousing and Logistics Links

The application of IoT technology in warehousing and logistics management, on the one hand, can realize the automation and informatization of inventory management, and make the inventory counting from the previous dependence on the manual inventory to rely on the information technology to automatically carry on the goods inventory, which can save a lot of inventory time and enterprise labor. On the other hand, through the Internet of things technology can quickly and accurately understand the inventory of the warehouse, that is, the amount of storage of each type of goods in the current number, and the needs of the enterprise comparison, you can quickly make replenishment decisions, which greatly improve the enterprise's inventory management capacity, but also reduce the occurrence of invalid inventory.

4. Distribution and sales Logistics links

The introduction of IoT technology in the distribution link can quickly and accurately understand the specific storage location of the goods, which can greatly reduce the time of the goods and the corresponding labor costs, so as to save time for picking goods and speed up the delivery of goods. At the same time, we can avoid the mistake of manually picking goods and ensure the accuracy of goods distribution. In addition, the use of Internet of things to carry out distribution services can be real-time tracking the distribution of goods, accurately and reasonably plan and manage the expected delivery time of goods.

However, the current level of logistics industry informatization in China is still not high, the level of automation is also very low, the overall efficiency of the entire logistics industry has yet to be improved; and hardware construction is only the front-end of the development of the Internet of things, the data transmission, information processing, intelligent business management and operation of the logistics network is the core part of the future and the value of high-end, And this is precisely the extension of the application of Internet things.
