Cost reduction and efficiency increase are supported

　　Just after midnight on June 1, Ms. Wang, who lives in Southeast Street, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, received a set of skin care products ordered on JD.com.

What surprised Ms. Wang even more was that the smart express car of JD Logistics was used for her delivery.

It only took 4 minutes from the time she paid the final payment to when she received the courier.

　　Changshu City, where Ms. Wang is located, is the world's first "smart distribution city" created by JD Logistics. Robot delivery has fully participated in the "618" promotion for the first time this year.

It is understood that Changshu currently uses more than 20% of the sites operated by smart courier vehicles and couriers. By cooperating with smart courier vehicles, the number of delivery orders that can be completed daily during the big promotion period is more than 1.5 times the original.

　　"There are 5 vehicles operating at our site alone. The goods purchased by Ms. Wang arrived at the site long ago. After she paid the balance, the courier truck delivered the courier after receiving the order." Jingdong Logistics Changshu Southeast Business Department Station Manager Xing Xiaolei said.

　　Behind the minute-level delivery, in addition to robots, there are also express companies that continue to increase their pre-sales.

It is understood that during the "618" promotion this year, JD Logistics expanded the pre-sale pre-sale to almost all small and medium-sized items. Through the system algorithm, supply chain planning and multi-level inventory pre-position, it started as soon as consumers paid the deposit. Warehousing production and packaging, millions of goods are placed in warehouses at all levels closest to consumers, including cloud warehouses with more than 21 million square meters of storage facilities.

Among them, 32-seat Asia One, as the largest intelligent warehouse group in Asia's e-commerce logistics field, robot products such as intelligent storage, intelligent handling, intelligent sorting and intelligent picking have become powerful for consumers to enjoy high-efficiency service experience such as Minda Guaranteed.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau, with the opening of the mid-year promotion activities, express companies have adopted measures such as service innovation, optimization algorithms, and pre-sales to study integrated supply chain industry chain solutions to greatly enhance user experience.

In view of the short-term freshness of fresh agricultural products such as lychee, cherries and bayberry, and high transportation requirements, the establishment of green channels, the addition of special lines for sorting and direct delivery, the opening of special air lines, increasing the protection of scattered aviation, and adding high-speed rail lines , Improve service timeliness.

In addition, the application of intelligent handling and intelligent distribution equipment such as warehousing robots, indoor distribution robots, smart express vehicles, and logistics drones also provides strong support for express logistics companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Better promote double circulation

　　Every e-commerce sales promotion festival not only tests the efficiency of express delivery companies, but also tests the production capacity of merchants and the ability to guarantee operation and transportation.

　　At the sorting gate of the Qiaqia Industrial Park, before three o'clock in the afternoon every day, the operator in the factory will collect the first car of parcels.

It is understood that during the e-commerce promotion period, Zhongtong operated nearly 4,000 e-commerce parcels every day, requiring 4 vans to be transported in shifts.

　　"Into the factory, in addition to ensuring that the goods ordered by consumers on the same day can be collected and transferred on the same day, and provide the fastest logistics timeliness, it can also avoid the shortage of manpower and goods in the past by the logistics company to bear the terminal operation cost. It’s not possible to leave the warehouse in the first time and lead to a situation where the warehouse is liquidated.” Huang Wei, head of the 4th branch of Zhongtong Express, Anhui Hefei, Shushan, introduced that before the “618” promotion this year, the e-commerce logistics working group will give the estimated order quantity. At the outlets, “In response to the peak cargo volume, we have formulated a detailed collection operation plan. We ship 6 to 8 vehicles every day, and the number of staff is increased to 8 to ensure a 100% daily collection rate.”

　　As an important part of the modern service industry, the express delivery industry connects thousands of cities and industries, connects thousands of households, and connects online and offline. It is a modern industry that serves production and life, promotes consumption and production, and smoothes economic cycles.

　　Regarding the development of the industry, Ma Junsheng proposed that, on the one hand, it is necessary to enhance the adaptability of the industry supply system to demand, and the guarantee of factor resources to the industry supply system; to address shortcomings in service production, service internationalization, and service rural revitalization. Quickly improve the ability of service in the whole field; fully activate the element resources, and quickly improve the quality, efficiency and core competitiveness of the express delivery industry.

It is necessary to promote express delivery "into the village" according to local conditions, accelerate the construction of a rural delivery logistics system, continue to expand the coverage of "into the village", and improve the service level of "into the village".

Promote express delivery "into the factory" step by step, follow the trend of production transformation and consumption upgrade, develop accurate, safe, diverse and stable delivery services, and provide comprehensive solutions for the supply chain.

At the same time, we will actively and steadily promote the "going overseas" of express delivery, improve the international delivery network, enhance remote delivery capabilities, and improve China Unicom's service level.

　　Ma Junsheng also said that it is necessary to consolidate the main responsibility of the enterprise, strengthen the unified management of the company in terms of network stability and the protection of the rights and interests of the courier brothers, promote the formation of a reasonable income distribution mechanism, improve the level of social insurance, and continue to improve the sense of gain and happiness of the courier brothers. Sense and security.

The industry must adhere to the bottom line of safety, effectively prevent and resolve various hidden risks, and create a safe, reliable and smooth delivery service network.
