[Logistics information] "robot +" logistics tide struck industry standards need to first

 In recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce logistics business brought about by the sharp rise, coupled with the rapid rise in land and labor costs, intelligent logistics equipment in the savings of storage area, improve logistics efficiency has shown irreplaceable advantages, intelligent Handling equipment has become an indispensable practical tool for the logistics industry, in which the robot plays an important role.

At present, the application of robot technology in logistics is mainly focused on packaging sorting, handling and UAV delivery and other three operations. The picking job mainly refers to the selecion of the variety by the mobile robot. The loading and unloading is one of the most basic functional elements in the logistics system. It exists in the process of transportation, storage, packaging, circulation processing and distribution.

As for UAV delivery, thanks to the small fast spirit, low cost and other advantages, UAV is accelerating into the courier industry. Today, UAV shipments have been favored by many large-scale logistics business enterprises, they compete for UAV technology testing, layout UAV logistics network.

As the first batch of testing and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to send express business enterprises, Amazon in this regard put a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Today, Amazon has accumulated a lot of data and experience in practical applications. Financial research firm ARKInvest recently a study shows that the Amazon with UAV to send each piece of the cost of less than 1 US dollars, delivery time also increased to the fastest 30 minutes served.

In addition to Amazon, as a domestic industrial robots and intelligent equipment leading enterprises, the new loom in the field of logistics warehousing also spare no effort. According to the 2016 annual report released by the new loom robot, last year, the new robot company industrial robots, logistics and warehousing automation business grew 26.09%, respectively, 30.30%, respectively, compared with 2015 increased by about 17,35 percentage points.

from the above data we can easily see that the "robot +" logistics can effectively improve the efficiency and quality of logistics, but also to protect the personal safety, improve the working environment, reduce labor intensity, improve labor productivity, save material consumption and reduce production costs Very important meaning.

But at the same time, we must also note that the current service and logistics areas such as emerging robots have no common national standards, international standards. In the implementation level, the implementation of the environment there is no certain requirement, the region and industry, enterprises are their own to explore their own norms, which will seriously hinder the development of the industry. Therefore, it is imminent to develop a set of common storage robot testing and evaluation specifications.

At present, in order to speed up the storage robot landing, China is accelerating the study of relevant assessment norms. We believe that with the continuous improvement of the relevant norms, the future, "robot +" logistics not only in the packaging sorting, handling and UAV shipments are widely used in the circulation processing, warehousing and information processing and other logistics operations will also be Will be widely used.
