Cainiao Logistics Technology Improves Factory Efficiency

In a large new energy vehicle parts manufacturing enterprise in Changzhou, Jiangsu, thousands of products are produced and sold worldwide through logistics. During the production process, with the mutual cooperation of algorithms and intelligent devices, a large smart logistics system has also been formed within the factory area.?

The full factory unmanned logistics solution co-created by the Cainiao and the company covers more than 60 complex business scenarios such as automatic ordering, production line distribution, and box-to-person picking, integrating more than 30 different types of automated equipment, with as many as 6 types of AGV alone, and also needs to interface with more than a dozen upstream and downstream systems.

Despite the complexity of the project, Cainiao still ensures perfect delivery. “After the implementation of this intelligent logistics system, which includes a complex three-dimensional warehouse and AGVs freely moving within the factory area, the company's production efficiency has been further improved and received praise from international customers”. The company's staff explained that after the project was put into operation, their work became as convenient as ordering takeout. “After the production line calls for materials, the specified position can be directly set through PDA operation. The delivery time of the materials has been shortened, and the number of steps I take has also decreased. I used to take three to four thousand steps every day, but now it's just over ten thousand”.

As one of the important business segments of Cainiao Group, Cainiao Logistics Technology adheres to the genes of Cainiao's intelligence and the advantages of rooted logistics, and has accumulated core technological capabilities such as automation, IOT, AI, big data, etc., forming a rich portfolio of technology products and industry solutions, which can create technology-driven intelligent logistics for industries such as logistics, FMCG, automotive, energy, chemicals, manufacturing, etc.

In terms of automation, Cainiao has core software such as the WES automated warehouse execution system and the WCS automated warehouse control system, as well as hardware products such as automated three-dimensional libraries, AGVs, pallet shuttle cars, and PLCs.
