Rookie introduced "intelligent packaging algorithm technology"

 Express package is also a technical live, will pack a year can save 10 million boxes of it! Recently, rookie network algorithm experts, through large data and large-scale optimization technology, introduced a set of "intelligent packaging algorithm", compared to extensive manual packaging, at least save more than 5% of packaging supplies.

This algorithm is popular, that is, you can use algorithm optimization, to help the warehouse with a smaller box to hold all the goods. In order to generate the moment, the system will automatically calculate how much the order of the box, a few boxes to install, find the most material-saving packaging methods.

Rookie network advanced algorithm expert Hu Haoyuan told reporters that the launch of this algorithm is because the novice technical staff to the warehouse when the exchange found that there are some waste of artificial packaging links.

"The warehouse will usually have several fixed model of the box, we found that workers in the packaging, often an order can only be filled with half a box, some goods, although small but very heavy equipment, not filled with boxes Broken, these are causing some waste. "These are so rookie network of technical experts heartache, Hu Haoyuan said, come back after their team immediately developed the algorithm technology.

Artificial packaging mostly rely on the naked eye and experience to judge, it is difficult to commodity size and weight of accurate estimates. The rookie through the "intelligent packaging algorithm" technology, the consumer orders one, the system will immediately on the attributes of goods, quantity, weight, size, or even the location of the integrated calculation, can be quickly and the length and breadth of the box And load-bearing to match, and calculate the number of boxes needed, the goods inside the box how to visit the most economical packaging. The whole calculation process, less than 1 second.

At present, the technology is a rookie warehouse test run, from the actual results of the run, "intelligent packaging algorithm technology" cost, efficiency must be much better than manual judgment packaging.
First of all from the cost, because each box filled more full, more reasonable use of space, and the system is calculated very quickly, the cost of delivery of each order can save 0.12 yuan, supplies cost savings of 0.16 yuan. To a daily average of 10 million for a single warehouse, a year to save at least 10 million.

Greater significance lies in the protection of the environment, Hu Haoyuan said that the use of optimization and artificial intelligence algorithms, storage than in the past to reduce more than 5% of the packaging material. What is this concept? To 2015 days cat double eleven day produced about 467000000 package number to count, if using this technology, one day can save 23 million box, can less logging 80,000 trees; again to 2015 national China produced express 200 More than 100 million calculations, this technology can save about a billion boxes a year to protect 3.24 million trees.

"What we're doing now is to use algorithms to better match orders to the existing packaging in the warehouse to reduce the use of the box.Next, we can also customize the packaging, according to the characteristics of goods within the warehouse, combined with consumers Purchase combination of custom, the most suitable for the use of warehouse packaging, express delivery packaging supplies is expected to further reduce to 15%. "Hu Haoyuan said, the whole industry to bring huge cost reduction.

With the rapid development of the logistics industry, the accompanying loss of packaging a huge problem, according to experts estimated that in 2015 alone, the consumption of 8.3 billion plastic bags, tape 170 meters, although the proportion of total social consumption is still very small, but the trend is not Small watch.

In recent years, rookie network in promoting green express constantly throws new measures. Through electronic face alone, the annual cost savings of 1.2 billion single-sheet paper; this year in June, rookie network with 32 global logistics partners to promote the use of biodegradable express packaging; through the "Green Plan", rookie network at the same time hope Use of platforms and technological advantages, promote the industry information, intelligence, promote the use of more environmentally friendly products and technologies, joint partners to strengthen the recovery of cartons.
