Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On January 11, Cainiao released the top ten trends of logistics technology in 2023. Multi-agent autonomous collaborative technology, intelligent distribution, passive Internet of things, next-generation intelligent packaging, supply chain digital twin, digital supply chain control tower, interactive AI, unmanned trucks, large geographic models, clean energy solutions are considered to lead the trend of logistics technology in the new year.

According to the report, logistics automation is upgrading in the direction of intelligence. The application of indoor robots in complex logistics scenarios will achieve multi-agent autonomous cooperation, while the current mainstream distribution automation is gradually iterated to intelligent sorting, sorting equipment can achieve active control and autonomous adjustment.

With the in-depth application of the Internet of things in the logistics industry, large-scale deployment in some scenarios is limited by the environment, cost, energy saving and environmental protection, the traditional power supply can not meet the demand, passive Internet of things has become an effective solution. In the past year, the RFID technology developed by Cainiao has been applied in many scenarios, such as production, warehousing, transportation and so on. It can be predicted that RFID will usher in large-scale commercial use in the field of logistics supply chain.

The next generation of intelligent packaging is generally regarded as the basic condition for the express logistics industry to upgrade from automation to digitalization. Based on RFID, Cainiao is the first to try to implant RFID chips into package production, so that every package can be digitized, so that goods can be transferred digitally in the whole logistics link.

Digital supply chain has become the standard configuration in the process of digital transformation of traditional enterprises. on this basis, the supply chain control tower and supply chain digital twin technology will further promote the digital transformation of supply chain into the deep water area. Including Nestl é, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Baowu Group, SAIC GM Wuling, China Eastern Airlines and other companies, are working with Cainiao to optimize the supply chain system to achieve efficient allocation of resources.

At present, the application of interactive AI in the logistics industry mainly includes chat robot, intelligent voice assistant and other forms, and has become an important means of customer communication. The continuous improvement of this technology has an obvious effect on improving service quality and customer satisfaction. At the same time, it can also fill the corresponding employment gap and reduce the labor cost of logistics enterprises.

Unmanned trucks have gained popularity in the capital markets over the past year. In the logistics trunk line scene that is most likely to achieve large-scale landing, Dama House and Cainiao have started the definition and research of unmanned logistics trucks on open roads. Last year, Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, issued the country's first "main driver unmanned" truck road test license, allowing unmanned trucks to carry out road tests in designated areas, including some highway sections.

It is also mentioned in the report that as ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and others shine on NLP and AIGC respectively, large models are becoming one of the major technological trends recognized globally. Around the logistics scene, taking the geographical large model as the technical chassis, the multi-modal unified modeling of "geography + X (image, voice, vision)" will be realized in the future, from the perceptual model to the learning-decision model.

The report also predicts that clean energy, especially hydrogen energy, will gradually replace traditional fuel to improve the current situation of high energy consumption and high carbon emissions in the logistics industry, while effectively reducing transportation costs.

It is reported that this is the second year in a row that rookies have released logistics technology trends. Professor Yang Yi, director of the Institute of Logistics and decision Optimization of Zhejiang University, said: "Cainiao's judgment on the trend of logistics technology has maintained a certain continuity with that of the previous year, and has laid out in advance to promote practical application in many technical fields, such as self-driving, new energy, automation, digital supply chain, RFID and so on. At the same time, the addition of trends such as large geographical models means that Cainiao is exploring cutting-edge science and technology. It has maintained the same frequency resonance with the whole world. "
