Logistics parks, as an important node in the logistics industry, are highly valued. As of 2009, there are more than 400 logistics parks under construction and proposed in China. These logistics parks will become the gathering place of economic factors in various regions, and the gathering points of various companies on the value chain will enable faster exchange of information between companies and transaction costs. Greatly reduce, improve the efficiency of resource use of the logistics industry, achieve the supporting and systematic operation of the industry, and become the “third profit source†of modern society and enterprises.
The meaning of the trade logistics park The so-called trade logistics park refers to a logistics park that mainly undertakes the functions of trade, trade and circulation processing. The Business Logistics Park is a multi-logistics assembly center with a certain scale and a business-oriented multi-distribution facility with various types of logistics facilities and different types of logistics companies.
The establishment of a trade and logistics park is conducive to realizing the specialization and scale of trade and logistics companies, giving full play to their overall advantages and complementary advantages, and forming a new type of commercial and logistics model that takes the commodity trading market as a leader and stores and distribution as the main body. Bring animal flow, information flow, and capital flow through commodity flow.
The logistics industry is the earliest industry that has been exposed to the Internet of Things. It uses various sensor devices, PFID technology, video recognition technology, infrared sensors, GPS, GIS, laser scanning and other information sensing devices to realize the interconnection of items based on their needs. Intelligent network positioning for intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management of item flow.
The current situation and existing problems in the application of the Internet of Things in the trade logistics park As China's logistics industry and the Internet of Things industry started very late, so the application of the Internet of Things in the trade logistics park is relatively small, but some useful explorations and applications have already begun. Push forward the application and development of modern logistics information technology.
Logistics and transportation applications. Some three-party logistics companies have begun to use GPS, GIS systems, to facilitate real-time monitoring of vehicles under construction to ensure timely, punctuality and safety of cargo transportation.
Warehousing applications. PFID, infrared, laser, scanning and other technologies have been widely used in large-scale warehousing companies to improve their ability to manage goods receipt, inventory, picking, distribution, delivery, and picking, and to automate warehouse operations.
Handling applications. Through PFID, infrared, laser, scanning, GPS and other technologies to achieve the automated handling of goods handling, improve handling efficiency.
Packaging applications. A small number of large-scale logistics companies have scanned through PFID tags to realize automatic identification and judgment of packaged goods, improve the efficiency of logistics packaging, and facilitate the realization of packaged packaging and transportation.
The Internet of Things technology has been gradually promoted and applied in individual logistics companies, but there are few comprehensive applications in the trade logistics park. Most trade and logistics parks still adopt the traditional modes of receiving, inspection, picking, picking, picking, and shipping, which are inefficient.
The main problems in the application of Internet of Things in China's trade logistics parks are: lack of awareness of the Internet of Things. Since the Internet of Things is a new thing, most builders and operators of trade and logistics parks lack the concept of the Internet of Things, and lack sufficient understanding and understanding of the Internet of Things. Therefore, the application situation is less. The Internet of Things needs system solutions that run through the entire process of trade logistics, including PFID systems, GPS, GIS sensor technologies, video recognition technologies, and M2M technologies, with investment of as much as 10 million yuan and as much as 100 million yuan. Yuan, general trade logistics park cannot enjoy.
As the Internet of Things technology is an emerging technology, it is composed of a large-scale system, including electronic bar codes, RFID, sensors, video recognition, GIS, GPS, optical fiber technology, wireless network technology, EDI, cloud computing technology, DM technology, and so on. Is a comprehensive and intensive system, the current Internet of things technology is not mature enough, so less application. Although China Mobile and other large-scale communications operators are continuously striving to promote the application of Internet of Things, they are currently used in a small number and are limited to a small number of individual services. They are mainly based on home-use IoT. At present, there is a lack of overall service providers for the Internet of Things system at home and abroad, and the industry service level cannot meet the needs of the logistics industry.
A Preliminary Approach to the Application of the Internet of Things in the Business Logistics Park The General Business Logistics Park will arrange commercial and trade markets such as agricultural and sideline products, daily-use department stores, and apparel, and traceability systems for food, medicine, and agricultural and sideline products that involve human health. Monitoring the entire process of planting, production, picking, inspection, transportation and processing of agricultural products can accurately confirm the origin and legality of agricultural and sideline products, foods and medicines.
The “Internet of Things†formed by RFID tags and databases for commodities such as daily merchandise and apparel is used to automate the identification, judgment, and supervision of products, improve regulatory efficiency, and ensure traceability of product quality.
Logistics business function management system. The first is to realize intelligent and intelligent management of supply chain and production. Commodity operators in the trade logistics parks place orders according to market requirements. Through the Internet of Things system, they can monitor the production and supply processes throughout the entire process. Consumers can also monitor the supply dynamics of the purchased goods through the Internet of Things and realize the integration of orders, production, and supply. .
The second is to implement three-party logistics visualization management, based on GPS technology, RFID technology, sensing technology and other technologies, in the logistics process to achieve vehicle positioning, transport goods monitoring, online scheduling and distribution of visual management.
The third is to realize the intelligent management of logistics distribution center, based on the technology of sensing, RFID, laser, scanning, mobile computing and other technologies of the Internet of Things, building a modern warehouse, intelligent management, such as the realization of robot palletizing and loading and unloading, unmanned van Material handling, automatic transmission sorting operations, etc., to achieve a comprehensive collaboration of business flow, logistics, information flow, capital flow.
The fourth is to achieve intelligent storage, based on sensing technology, Bluetooth technology, M2M technology applied to the overall storage, intelligent storage management, such as automatic sensing temperature, humidity automatically start storage temperature, humidity control system. Based on video perception, it is used in storage control and storage operations.
The logistics and intelligent transaction system integrates the business and logistics park's Internet of Things with the Internet of Things, and establishes a product ordering and tracing system so that people can conveniently order and inquire and trace through Internet or Internet of Things computers or mobile terminals to make people live. Purchasing implements full intelligence, and at the same time strengthens the integration of the internet of things and e-commerce, and creates a smart logistics system such as express delivery, distribution, and quality inspection.
Logistics park security intelligent system. Through video-awareness, an intrusion system is established for the logistics security, security and perimeter alarming in the trade logistics park to ensure the safety of goods and funds for businesses and enterprises entering the park.
Logistics park smart settlement payment system. Establish an interactive system of user, park and enterprise quality inspection, and establish a smart Internet of Things payment and settlement system to facilitate transactions and payment and settlement between users and company quality inspections, and to realize synchronous operation of information flow, logistics and capital flows.
In a word, because the trade logistics park has the characteristics of commodity trading, the park, enterprises and users are in close connection, and the requirements for the Internet of Things are more and more urgent. The application of the Internet of Things in the trade and logistics park will be very broad.
In the trade logistics park, it provides integration and convergence of various resource elements for the operation of commerce and logistics companies, from commodity trading, warehousing, transportation, processing, distribution, and other logistics operations, to the park's own infrastructure management and services. The Internet of Things provides security for information collection, transmission, and processing.
Establish an information platform between the trade logistics park and the community. The trade logistics park, as an important node in the supply chain, needs to collect, transmit, process, analyze, and control a large amount of information in real time, and also provide supporting services such as banking, taxation, security, and alcohol. Class supervision and so on. The Internet of Things is a cumbersome logistics business for the logistics and trade logistics park. It sets up a service platform for communication, control and supervision of the park and social information, making the logistics business more social, transparent and controllable.
The role and significance of the Internet of Things (IoT) for trade logistics parks is increasingly important. To promote the use of the Internet of Things in the trade logistics parks can increase the level of informationization, improve the efficiency of logistics, improve the controllability of logistics, and improve the transparency of logistics operations. Product quality monitoring is of great significance. Chongqing Dazu Logistics Park will look to the future based on the future. It will launch a trial of a commercial logistics park in the western region and develop a road for an information-based business logistics park that suits its own characteristics.
The status quo and problems of Internet of Things application in trade logistics parks
With the rapid growth of China's economy, the logistics industry has gradually diverted from other industries to form a relatively independent industry. However, due to the late start of China's logistics industry, the overall level and profitability is low, the development of the logistics industry is also lagging behind. In March 2001, the “Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Modern Logistics in China†issued by the six ministries and commissions of the State Council pointed out. The modern logistics market in our country has a broad prospect. Accelerate the development of modern logistics in China, optimize the allocation of resources, adjust the economic structure, improve the investment environment, increase the overall national strength and the competitiveness of enterprises, improve the quality and efficiency of economic operations, achieve sustainable development strategies, and promote the fundamentals of China's economic system and economic growth. The change has far-reaching significance.
