Chapter 1605

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."

"For example, when the car with tail number 366 is queuing outside, the dispatcher has allocated the 10th parking space for him, and then informs the worker in charge of the 10th parking space, tells him how many packages the car needs to unload, and tells him which packages the car needs to load to leave. The workers will prepare the packages he wants to take in advance."

"When the car in front of No. 10 leaves, the dispatcher will inform 366 to enter No. 10. When he enters, the worker will immediately unload the goods in his car, and then load the goods prepared in advance. After checking, the dispatcher will be informed, and the dispatcher will arrange 366 to leave, and then the next car will be informed to enter the station.""This efficient loading, the fastest, can end in ten minutes."

William exclaimed, "my God, it's no wonder that the transportation efficiency of Taobao logistics is so high because the arrangement is so close."

Li Mu said with a smile: "in the next stage, we are testing the large-span gantry crane equipment in the plant. In the future, there may be seven or eight sets of gantry crane equipment in operation in the plant at the same time. Each set of gantry crane is responsible for several lanes. After these container trucks enter the site, they don't need to wait for loading and unloading. When the trucks come in, the gantry crane will pick up the goods it has delivered together with the containers Goods, and then the goods that are packed in advance and are to be transported away, are directly loaded on the frame together with the container, so the efficiency will be further improved. "

"This system is so smart, it's amazing how much efficiency it's improving," he sighed

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "at that time, our front yard will use gantry crane for fast loading and unloading, while the back yard will use automatic sorting and packing equipment to quickly pack the sorted parcels and load them into the designated containers in advance. The front and back yards will use circular self-propelled tracks to realize the circular operation of containers, loading, unloading, loading and unloading, and the continuous circulation of containers here In a circular orbit, like the blood in our body, it continuously transports oxygen to our body, and at the same time transports carbon dioxide to our body. How much more efficient will we be at that time? "

"In this way, the efficiency of logistics is almost at its peak," said William

Li Mu shook his head with a smile and said: "it's still a long way to go. In the future, we should first reform all the links that can be reformed, and even the transportation and distribution links, we should carry out the automation revolution."

"In that case, isn't it necessary to develop driverless technology?" William said

Li Mu said with a smile, "driverless driving will be developed in the future, and it will continue to innovate and improve until it can replace people on the road."

William couldn't help but ask, "will Muye technology or Taobao develop automatic driving technology for automatic transportation and delivery in the future?"

Li Mu said: "this is not necessarily, but one thing is certain. The high-tech industry is a huge industrial chain, and no company can form an independent ecology and closed-loop within the industrial chain. Therefore, Muye technology does not seek to control the entire industrial chain."

Li Mu explained: "in the future, the advanced Internet products should be the integrators integrating multiple products and technologies, just like the current home computers, which buy processors from Intel, graphics cards from NVIDIA, memory particles from Samsung, and operating systems from Microsoft. Because of this mode, I think there will be many companies in the future Research and develop driverless technology. If it also includes Makino technology, we will try our best. If it does not include Makino technology, we will buy one of them with the best price performance ratio, and then match it with other technologies and products of other families to realize our automatic driving needs. "

After hearing this, William nodded repeatedly and said, "I wish I could see the automatic driving van of Muye technology shuttle across the whole land of China as soon as possible."

Li Mu said with a smile, "don't worry. I will invite you to visit then."

……

The news that Li Mu took William to Taobao soon spread to all walks of life through the official media channel of Muye technology.

When the relevant interview information of Taobao logistics was published on the Internet, it triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

Although most of the domestic netizens have contacted Taobao, they never know how Taobao operates. When they see these videos and pictures, they understand that Taobao has developed to this advanced level.

No wonder Taobao can achieve the most incredible super efficiency on the market. It turns out that all these are supported by powerful hardware and software at the same time.

Western media have also been shocked by the information released by Makino technology.

In their eyes, although the Internet in China has sprung up, their overall industrial base is still weak compared with that in the western developed countries, and their social development level is far behind;

in their inherent impression, the sorting center of China's logistics should be a large group of people surrounded by simple and crude equipment for rapid screening, while the transportation and delivery link is The postman on his bicycle climbed mountains and rivers to deliver the package to the receiver little by little.

However, they didn't expect that Taobao logistics had advanced to such an extent
