After two sessions in 2015, the "Internet +, DT era, industrial 4.0" has become a popular term, our logistics enterprises in the context of the Internet, how intelligent, intensive development! How to achieve shared cohabitation, collaboration and win-win! This is the logistics enterprises urgently need to solve the problem, the development of intelligent, intensification has important implications for the development of modern logistics, but also for us to reduce logistics costs and achieve green logistics foundation.

The importance of logistics development of intelligent self-evident, I was a business, better body with feelings. I joined in 1998 Foxconn Group (China headquarters) to work, wher a few years engaged in PMC (Production Material Control), on-site management, delivery and logistics supply chain control and other full range of work-related, was also in contact and use Foxconn internal Titop system, the plant supply chain management truly zero inventory management tools and ideas, with a profound experience. After it is engaged in trade and freight business work, calculate also has 10 years of domestic logistics deeper feelings.

In the context of the Internet, how to stand in the user's point of view, to develop a feasibility Internet products to promote the logistics intelligence, intensive development of the past three years, I have been studying. For this reason, I have also been specially investigated by the State Ministry of logistics public platform, Medicines logistics, Lin logistics, new state logistics and other large logistics companies and industry representatives enterprises, also in Guangdong and Hunan Province carried out a practical understanding and comparison. Now, I will be our ongoing projects illustrate the feasibility of making the actual cases.

Project Name: National freight intelligent stowage Trading Platform (systems, or tools)

I. Background

(A), the popularity of smart phones, to change the traditional logistics for the mobile Internet has brought enormous imagination

According to the report: The existing national 754 logistics parks, national number of trucks in 2013 reached 20.16 million, the number of companies nationwide nearly 50 million. In 2013 the total social logistics costs is 10.2 trillion, about 3.8 trillion cost of road transport. There are 30 million truck drivers, 80,90 will become the mainstream, the popularity of smart phones has changed the traditional logistics for the mobile Internet has brought a great imagination. American highway truck load rate of about 10%, the domestic load rate of 37%, resulting in a huge waste transport. Reduce no-load rate of development of the national economy has a great role in promoting.

(B), the State Council to encourage the construction of logistics public information platform and cargo stowage Center

May 14, 2014, Li Keqiang particular emphasis on logistics at a State Council executive meeting, to encourage the construction of logistics public information platform and cargo stowage Center, accelerate standardization facility applications, and promote joint development of third-party logistics and manufacturing. October 4, 2014, the State Council, "the logistics industry development and long-term plan (2014- 2020)" clearly enhance the standardization of logistics, information, intelligence and intensity levels.

Seen in this light, as an information technology project of intelligent cargo loading system in the country will usher in an unprecedented good opportunity for development.

(Iii), Big Data analytics platform and systems can help businesses significantly reduce fuel consumption

China's current cargo stowage research and vehicle path combinatorial optimization problems, is still in the exploratory stage started. Although China's logistics information technology has made some achievements, but compared with the United States, Japan and other developed countries, there is still a big gap. US logistics information platform, not only provides a goods vehicle matching and optimization capabilities, there is another important feature is that you can collect different data channels (such as truck drivers, driving habits, vehicle driving conditions in different sections from the car the amount of fuel consumption situation itself, through the GPS system and associated video surveillance systems for other situations, etc.) to do the basic data of a large database and a large database on the basis of this, then the development of new large data analysis platforms and systems.

Big Data Analytics platforms and systems can help enterprises significantly reduce fuel consumption, redesigning the travel route, the possibility of reducing detour traffic jams. For example: UPS US companies use big data systems analysis to create a road named Orion optimization and navigation integration systems, began trial operation in 2009, the system code up to 1000, can be analyzed in real time for each route of 200,000 kinds of possibilities , and to identify the best delivery route in about three seconds. UPS through its big data analysis in 2011 to reduce the 8 million 400 thousand gallons of fuel oil consumption, the equivalent of nearly $ 30 million operating costs, while reducing the 84 million miles unnecessary detour, improve delivery time accuracy and customer satisfaction, as well as less emissions of 17,000 cubic tonnes of carbon dioxide. At the end of 2017 the company plans to assemble 55,000 North End road express this system.

Optimization of the system will be able to solve the traffic and the practical application of many aspects of logistics, such as route optimization, distribution optimization, vehicle scheduling optimization, optimization of distribution center location, etc., all have powerful functions. In today's highly competitive market, not only in customer requirements on time delivery period, which greatly enhance the company's core competitiveness, but also reduce operating costs, the company's performance has played a very important role.

Big Data analytics platform, not only to transport a great deal of impact, but also that smart cities and intelligent transportation provide data support and analysis tools for today's cloud computing platform based on intelligent transportation systems is particularly important in the Intelligent Transportation system is an innovative high-tech.

Second, the Project

(A) Project objectives: to achieve national cargo stowage Smart Trading Center

(Ii) Project System: 9 large-scale systems, "under the line + line" logistics business full coverage

To achieve the goal, the platform needs to build the following major systems.

(C) the project on the subject of logistics issues to be addressed: regulatory, integrity, risk control, payment, including carpooling, and other real-time logistics information for the five subject, the following workaround

The implementation of the project, and effectively solve the problems occurred in the transaction process: such regulation, integrity, risk control, invoicing, payment, including carpooling, timeliness, standardization.

(D) Project service center: a full-service owner, effectively expanding supply

1, the service center of the project: on a "full-service owner, effectively expanding the supply" as the ultimate starting point.

2, the vehicle is large and medium-sized truck-based; path of long-distance transport.

Third, the core function of the platform description

(A) Core systems: smart match, brokered by the system optimization

1. Intelligent matching design goals:

Massive supply and ads, brokered by the system intelligent optimization. According to the optimal path, the optimal time, the optimal loading point, the optimal mix of product categories, most freight requirements to set the condition value. With advanced search engine technology and algorithms system to achieve efficient and fast match.

2. Intelligent matching eight advantages:

National: to achieve national unified platform, unified data entry.

Batch: the matching and confirmation can be achieved in large quantities.

Fast: advanced algorithm system that can quickly identify, efficient and reasonable.

Optimality: You can set conditions, cargo handling complex, car source, the optimal path.

Confidentiality: background processing, to meet the requirements of both sides to direct contact, others are not visible.

Book: the supply and return the car, you can publish early, early match.

Fairness: the system automatically recognizes, in line with the conditions set outstanding bidder.

Standardization: the owner, the owner of the publishing standardized nationwide unified manner.

3. The design of the technical requirements of smart match

Standardization and electronic data exchange technology, the smart match premise.

Search engine optimization, is the basis for automatic matching.

Massive source of supply and the car fast, optimum, intelligent matching, it must solve more than one million of the decision variables and constraints variable large-scale, high-difficulty of optimization problems and fast computing power.

Smart match for the collection of large data analysis and mining to achieve, offers the possibility.

(B) Freight bid: shipping companies can choose

1. The auction system design goals:

Shipping companies in the larger quantity of goods case, you can choose whether the freight bidding mode, and set the relevant conditions, meet the requirements before the auction.

2. Bidding System Design Advantages

The owner after the release of supply, you can freely choose not to bid, bid two modes.

If you choose to auction model, the owner can set the bid deadline, freight highest limits bidders to participate in the relevant conditions and the like.

Platform rigorous screening requirements according to the owner, meet the requirements before they can participate in the auction. Reducing the owner a lot of time for the owner to make the final selection plays an important reference.

Both sides can see the integrity of the case, the owner has the final decision.

(Iii) Zone Internet: combined with the park information platform "online and offline."

1, the park is designed to interconnect

Development of existing large and medium-sized logistics park, through rational distribution, regional protection, associates interconnected, which allows online platform entity fully integrated with the next line, complementary resources, profits doubled.

You can build inside information for the park on behalf of the trading floor, synchronous transmission sources of information; and by other means to help expand the car park admission source, boost overall consumer Park.

By mutual consent, allowing local area parks information sharing.

2, the park interconnect design advantages

Let information standardization Park, is no longer a high investment.

Park discount automatically published to a source close to the car, the driver everywher "home" warmth. Information sharing between adjacent park ?? interactive, driver instead of "run around, a fine."

Park on the basis of overall platform, developers can further personalize independent systems, a regional benchmark.

(D) mobile Internet APP: let individual drivers directly into

1.1 Design principles of APP mobile Internet

APP driver download mobile terminal, as long as the basic situation of vehicle released, return time and place, load capacity and other basic information, the system will be fast, intelligent matching good supply, and to text message pushed to the driver, so the driver direct contact with the owner verify transactions, generating orders, the system automatically drivers phone number, license plate number, GPS card linkage, the implementation of tracking and tracing a variety of ways.

2. The design advantages of mobile Internet APP

Return form a dynamic load center, reducing the load rate, saving huge social costs.

Shippers with direct docking: the driver received a first-hand sources, shippers find return the car, maximizing profits both sides.

The driver can be published in advance, to achieve a predetermined supply, reducing waiting time.

Discover unified platform vehicle running track, trace goods, reduce driver phone interference and repetitive queries.

The driver can use the phone search near the "Friends": supply, parks, parking lots.

The driver can press a destination, direct navigation to quickly reach, without having to ask.

Creating a possible conditions for the mobile Internet value-added services.

Fourth, the project features detailed in

21 large module gives "intelligent logistics" package solution

Future collaboration between the logistics will also become increasingly important, for example: to share traffic eliminate empty truck with the rational use of the common transport assets, open sharing of distribution facilities. Logistics and intelligence, intensive development, the logistics body have a certain awareness, the industry is also the tireless pursuit of what the program is truly effective and feasible, but to stimulate more than I also hope that more colleagues in the efforts, Under the guidance of Guangdong Logistics Association, and constantly improve the feasibility of the program I hope to do on the road for the development of China's logistics modernization modest force.
