The artificial intelligence, which is written into the government work report, has already been played by the players in the logistics field.
Li Keqiang, premier of the State Council, mentioned in his government work report that we should speed up the development of new industries. We should fully implement the development plan of strategic emerging industries and accelerate the research and development and transformation of new materials, artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, biopharmaceutical, fifth generation mobile communications and so on, and make big and strong industrial clusters. It is worth noting that "Ai" was first written into the national government work report.
At the same time, Sun Pishu, chairman of Baidu group, Baidu chairman Robin Li, chairman of the board of directors of Ma Huateng and other giants have also voicing artificial intelligence. Relevant experts predict that in 2017, lightweight artificial intelligence applications may fall to the ground, and AI will become a hot spot for entrepreneurship. Artificial intelligence technology can drive the development of multiple industries and gradually open the trillion level market.
In the field of logistics, what players have entered the field of artificial intelligence?
Suning: focusing on the future, from lean production to artificial intelligence
A few days ago, the suing logistics S laboratory research plan was exposed: in 2017, the laboratory will launch application research around two directions of lean production and artificial intelligence, including automatic warehouse operation technology, green packaging technology, intelligent sorting robot, intelligent distribution robot, intelligent patrol inspection of UAV Park, AR/VR technology and so on.
The goal of the S laboratory is clear: through the joint construction of the logistics scene with the world's top technology companies and the top university research institutions, the technology will be promoted from the laboratory to the practical application, and the efficiency of each link in the logistics production is improved.
Suing logistics is based on the ability of intelligent artificial intelligence and data calculation. It will focus on the application scene of logistics, take artificial intelligence as the core, and use intelligent hardware as the carrier. It will apply UAV, unmanned vehicle and AR/VR technology to the logistics information operation, and the future space is more huge.
In the research plan of Suning S laboratory, the test of AGV robot intelligent picking system will be completed in April. Through the mobile robot moving shelves to pick up "goods to people", robot to find people, people only need simple operation, can complete the relay work with the robot, completely avoid the invalid transportation.
Not only that, with the rise of AR/VR technology, the possibility of exploring virtual reality and virtual enhancement in the logistics industry by the suing S laboratory has also been put on the agenda.
Jingdong: the Legion of intelligent logistics robots
Logistics is the core competitiveness of the Jingdong. In the future, Jingdong will seek growth from technology, and its strength lies in "Ai".
In May 2016, Jingdong set up the X division, focusing on the research and development of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned vehicles and unmanned warehouses. What changes has been brought about by "unmanned technology" to "Jingdong logistics"?
First, the last mile of rural electricity providers and remote areas. China has a very large number of rural areas, the Jingdong data report shows that the number of rural e-commerce users has been increasing in recent years, but the distribution of the last kilometre of the rural e-commerce is a difficult problem to be solved. The roads in rural areas are not good. Many areas are difficult to get into and difficult to drive. In response to this problem, Jingdong independently developed a distribution UAV to solve the last mile distribution of rural electricity providers. This year, double 11 Jingdong UAV has been put into operation in many places such as Suqian, Xi'an and Beijing.
Second, the last kilometre of large cities. In the past, the logistics distribution was completed by the distribution small brother. With the increase of the order quantity, the business development only depends on the distribution of the small brother, the time and the manpower are very difficult to realize the value matching. The Jingdong hopes to share the pressure of a part of distribution through the unmanned distribution car, and solve the problem of the city's last kilometer distribution. During the period of double 11 this year, unmanned distribution vehicles have been delivered in some areas of Beijing, and many consumers have enjoyed the surprise changes brought about by technology in advance.
Third, the storage robot liberated human resources. A series of logistics robots, such as handling robots, shelving shuttle cars, sorting robots, six axis robots, are working hard in the unmanned warehouse, and constitute a complete intelligent logistics scene of medium goods and small pieces of goods. The coordinated operation of robots has greatly improved the storage density, the speed of handling, and the accuracy of picking up. At present, the storage efficiency of the "unmanned barn" in the Jingdong is more than 10 times the storage efficiency of the traditional crossbeam shelf, and the parallel robot picking speed can reach 3600 times per hour, equivalent to 5-6 times the traditional manual.
The World Health Organization (Jingdong) assumes the future of the logistics scene with the core of intelligent technology. In the warehouse, the AGV, six axis robot, shuttle bus and sorting robot make up the efficient robot legion, quickly complete the storage, sorting and sorting of the goods, and transfer the goods to the Jingdong unmanned bus. This automatic driving truck can not only send automatic sorting goods to unmanned distribution stations, but also a mobile distribution station, which can carry UAVs and unmanned distribution vehicles, release them on the nearest main road from the destination, and complete the distribution quickly. Even, the future consumer shopping do not need to leave the delivery address, customers buy a product from the A to the B, or to the C, in the continuous movement of the state, unmanned vehicle can also be able to know the user trajectory accurately through artificial intelligence, to complete the mobile distribution.
According to the introduction, the storage efficiency of the Jingdong unmanned storehouse is more than 10 times the storage efficiency of the traditional shelf, and the picking speed of the robot is equivalent to the manual 5~6 times; the unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned vehicle and other distribution machines appear one after another.
