Chapter 1240

UAV Logistics

Already used?

Originally, Lu Zhou's "not a problem" shocked Wang Wei. The next sentence of Lu Zhou surprised him not to know what to say.

Now, when Lu Zhou proposed to take him to visit, he would not refuse, and he almost agreed without any hesitation.

"Please show me around!"

As he spoke, he rose from his seat.

Looking at the eager Wang Wei, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded his head to show him not to worry. Then he called the office secretary in charge of reception and told her.

"Talk to Mr. Chen for me. I'll take Mr. Wang to the factory for a walk. He may come back later at noon."

"OK, academician Lu."

Seeing the secretary left the reception room, Lu Zhou continued to look at Wang Wei and said with a smile.

"Let's go, then."

……

The factory mentioned in luzhoukou is located in the corner of Jinling High Tech Park, next to the entrance of Expressway and railway freight station. It is one of the star enterprises in Jinling City.

In fact, it's boss Liu's factory.

Since starry sky technology became a shareholder, Zhongshan new material has become the leader of domestic carbon material processing field from a local small and medium-sized board listed material enterprise in Jinling by virtue of the strong technical background of starry sky technology and orders from East Asia power and new energy industry chain.

We have to say that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Liu Wanshan, who has fully enjoyed the scientific and technological dividend, can be said to be an "Iron Fan" of star technology. When star technology came up with the idea of transforming its factory into an automated industrial logistics system, Liu almost agreed without hesitation.

Up to now, this set of industrial logistics system has achieved initial results. Zhongshan new material in the lithium anode material field of Jinling High Tech Park has almost become a model production unit and technology pacesetter of the whole Jinling City.

The completely unmanned material distribution almost maximizes the efficiency of the production line.

In terms of cost, it used to take nearly 20 positions with low education to complete the workload. Now it only needs an engineer who has received higher education and a group of automation equipment controlled by the cloud server to be fully competent. The gap is not the same at all.

"This is the factory I'm talking about."

A step forward, looking at everything in front of him, Wang Wei's face showed an incredible expression, and after a long time, he said in an exclamatory tone.

“…… It's incredible. "

Yes, it's incredible.

Facing this scene, he has lost his words.

Small and flexible AGV logistics vehicles, in the wide plant fast through, carrying a box of goods. A six rotor UAV whizzed through the air, completely replacing the helmet wearing workers to adjust all aspects of the production line.

The whole factory is like a monster. The logistics vehicles and drones are like blood cells flowing in the blood vessels. The workshops are like organs of monsters.

From one production line to another, from one workshop to another, every gear is running at a high speed, and every production link is so efficient that people can't help but produce everything here, together with the flow of air, which is designed in the same way.

In fact, it is.

Here, not only the air temperature, the gas flow per unit time, but even PM2.5 in the plant are strictly controlled at a critical value.

It is such a strict standard that makes the yield of lithium anode materials produced by Zhongshan new material top the world.

Unless there is a systematic failure that cannot be eliminated by the machine in the workshop, there is no need to enter the workers here at ordinary times. The maintenance of UAV, logistics vehicle and other equipment is completed outside the factory, while the maintenance of workshop production equipment is mostly completed by AI controlled machines.

What is industrial upgrading? What is intelligent manufacturing?

This is industrial upgrading! This is intelligent manufacturing!

Although it's not the first time to feel the important role of science and technology in industrial production, everything in the past has not been so shocked. Now Wang Wei has a profound sense of what science and technology changes the world and the future.

Not only that, but he finally understood why the land boat, after hearing his problem, would say that it was not a problem at all.

In his mind, there is even a picture. In the logistics center of Shunfeng, there are unmanned AGV logistics vehicles, which cooperate with a group of AI controlled electric driven UAVs, unload the goods from the aircraft or large trucks, load them on the logistics trucks to the downtown, and then the vehicle borne UAVs are responsible for delivering the goods to the door, and deliver the packages directly to the balcony of the customer's home or install them on the balcony of the customer's home At the pick-up point on the windowsill.

Swallowing a saliva, Wang Wei restrained the excitement in his voice and said."This system How much is it? "

"It depends on the specific needs of customers," Lu Zhou said briefly, looking at the UAVs passing through the factory. "We have two standards, one is for small business owners, the other is for large business owners Optimization of logistics links. "

"In fact, after hearing the questions you said earlier, I think both systems may not be suitable for you. What you need is a special logistics system for package distribution services in densely populated cities."

Wang Wei nodded.

"You're right."

"The long-term goal of our intelligent logistics network is to realize the intelligent and unmanned logistics and distribution. As I told you before, the main road is transported by large vehicles, and then by vehicle drones. Through the real-time calculation of the waypoint to point, the package is sent to the customer's hands, and then returned to the nearest drone beehive for charging. At the same time, the fully charged UAV complements the logistics vehicle as it passes. "

In fact, this UAV distribution plan is exactly the blueprint of the ten papers published nine years ago. However, it is not easy to achieve this, which involves all aspects to be solved.

For example, the real-time route calculation of UAV, how to determine the distribution route with the highest efficiency and safety factor, etc. This may not sound complicated, but in fact it is a rather difficult problem.

First, the route of UAV is not based on 2D plane, but on 3D space. Secondly, at any time, the principle of "more" is complex is applicable.

For example, in the first tier cities above Beijing, the annual express throughput has reached 2.2 billion pieces, which is a huge number on average every day. The whole logistics network needs tens of thousands of drones to support, and the distribution plan and route of these drones need to be completed by computer.

To solve this problem, it seems that only xinghai-1 can do it.

After listening to Wang Wei's needs, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "in fact, you can consider outsourcing the whole intelligent logistics network to us. Including the UAV used in the delivery process, including the design of drone hive, etc., we have a professional team that can be competent for this work, and it is easier to solve this problem as a whole than to solve a series of problems you encounter respectively. "

Hearing this, Wang Wei was slightly shocked and hesitated.

"Here Isn't that right? We have fixed partners in the purchase of UAVs and logistics vehicles, and we have signed long-term strategic cooperation agreements. If possible, I hope you can design this intelligent logistics network according to our existing conditions. At present, we are quite satisfied with the products they provide. We have no plan to change the suppliers for the time being. "

Changing suppliers is not a trivial matter.

There are many problems involved.

Especially for such a large-scale enterprise as Shunfeng group, it may only make a small change to some detail of the logistics and distribution link, which may have an unpredictable impact on the existing operation.

At least, this kind of thing can only be decided by holding several meetings, rather than by clapping your head with a moment of excitement like now.

Not only that, but also Shunfeng group has invested a lot of money in this project. Now, because of some bottlenecks, outsourcing the whole project, there is always a sense that the early investment is all wasted.

What's more, Shunfeng group is a large enterprise with a market value of 100 billion. Being controlled by others in this key technology always makes him feel "insecure".

Probably guessed in Wang Wei's heart's worry, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, then said.

"It depends on how you think about it. Industry enjoys scale-up, and so does research. It's much more efficient to leave the professional things to the professional people. I will not force you to accept our standards, but from the perspective of an academic, I will definitely put the best solution first. "

Wang Wei still hesitated and said, "do you still produce drones and logistics vehicles?"

Lu Zhou: "worried that we are not professional enough in this area?"

Wang Wei didn't speak, but his expression obviously implied it.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"We really don't have factories, or production lines for drones and logistics vehicles, but in the age of intelligent manufacturing 2.0, these are not problems at all."

Looking at Wang Wei who obviously didn't understand the meaning of his words, Lu Zhou continued.

"If you're curious, I can show you one more thing."

As he said this, he took a tablet from his accompanying secretary and handed it to the president Wang in front of him.Looking at Wang Wei, who was staring at the flat plate in his hand, Lu Zhou continued.

"First, you can select the product parameters you need, then upload your requirements to the server, and we will try our best to complete it. The process will take about two hours, which is not long, but it will take a while. "

"We might as well go for lunch and then come back."
