Chapter 1605 (1/2)
William himself was really shocked by the automation and information operation process of Taobao logistics.
As a prince of a well-known developed country, he really has never seen such an advanced storage and logistics sorting system, so William constantly exclaimed at the scene, and even praised Li Mu: ”Mr. Li, the storage and logistics of Taobao has overturned my inherent impression of storage and logistics. I really did not expect that Taobao is in automation and informatization, It's such a great achievement. ”
”It's not a big achievement, it's just a necessary process for industrial upgrading. With the development of science and technology in the future, automation and informatization will be valued in any industry and become the key to industrial upgrading,” Li said with a smile
William asked, ”Mr. Li, according to your thinking, all industries in the future can actually upgrade their automation and informatization like Taobao's warehousing and logistics?”
Li Mu nodded: ”of course, this is the future trend of social and industrial development.”
William couldn't help asking, ”what do you think can be achieved in the next stage of the development of Taobao's warehousing and logistics automation?”
Li Mu said with a smile, ”what we are after is to do as much work as possible, and let the advanced machines take the place of manual work. You see, in the future, our in and out warehouse will be fully automated. After the goods are transported in, from sorting to classification and in warehouse, all of them will be automated. After receiving the order, from picking up to sorting and out warehouse, all of them will be fully automated Automation. ”
”In the future, our storage center will be bigger than this one, even bigger enough to hold a whole Boeing 747 production line. Moreover, with the continuous development of automation, our efficiency will continue to improve and the demand for human resources will continue to decline.”
Later, Li Mu and William came to the transportation center supporting the storage and sorting center.
The sight of the transportation center shocked William even more.
Here, there is a huge frame factory building as big as a large aircraft hangar, but there is no equipment in the factory building, and the huge space is almost filled with containers and container trucks.
In the innermost part of the plant, there is a working platform with a width of more than 10 meters, a length of more than 100 meters and a height of about one meter. This working platform is directly connected with the sorting center, and a large number of packed packages are transported to this working platform by forklift.
Under the working platform more than one meter high, one container truck is full of uniform standards, the tail of the container is perfectly connected with the working platform, and the height of the two is almost the same, which provides great convenience for loading and unloading.
This is the importance of the unified standard. For the main line transportation of Makino science and technology, the towheads are all imported, and the height of container trailers is all the same, so as to ensure that your vehicles can go to any sorting center, and can be seamlessly connected with the operation platform.
Here, dozens of container trucks are parked side by side at one time. Almost every minute, a car is loaded and then driven out. Immediately, a car comes in from outside to continue loading and unloading.
William was stunned and exclaimed, ”Mr. Li, the throughput here is too large. There are almost continuous cars in and out.”
Li Mu nodded and said, ”Yanjing's sorting center not only covers the whole cargo handling of Yanjing, but also is responsible for most of North China. It is the hub of most of North China, so the cargo handling capacity will be larger.”
William nodded and looked at the whole work platform. Hundreds of workers were busy, dozens of forklifts and trailers were shuttling back and forth, but everything was orderly without any sense of confusion.
What surprised William even more was that it took almost ten minutes for a car to get in, unload, and load and leave the yard, which was almost as fast as it could.
He couldn't help asking Li Mu, ”Mr. Li, how does the speed of car turnover achieve so fast?”
”It's thanks to our information management system,” Li said with a smile. ”Our in and out warehouse system, which is specially designed for freight cars, is designed and operated in a highly rigorous way like railway dispatching.”
With that, Li Mu pointed to the lane drawn out every two meters under the operation platform, and said: ”you see, every truck parking space is like a railway track, and these parking spaces have special numbers, just like a train platform.”
”All the cars you see are equipped with radio-frequency equipment, which records the information of their vehicles, such as who is the driver, what the car carries, where it comes from, what goods it needs to receive and where it goes.”
”In this way, when they enter the base, their cargo arrangement has been sent to the operation platform, and the central dispatching committee will arrange him to queue outside and arrange the parking space he wants to enter in advance.”
