To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the logistics industry is increasingly interested in a system for truck drivers and warehouse personnel to carry packages online.
Two years ago, a logistics company in Urayasu City, Chiba Prefecture, introduced a system that uses a smartphone to notify the warehouse staff of the arrival when the truck driver carries in luggage, and hands over the delivery note.
Originally, it was introduced to streamline operations, but we think that around 100 drivers per day will not have to go through the procedures at the warehouse office, and it can be expected to reduce the risk of new coronavirus infection. I will.
The driver man who brought the luggage to the warehouse said, "First of all, I'm careful not to get infected, but I feel secure that I can work without facing each other."
According to a venture company in Tokyo that developed this system, while the distribution industry is expanding the movement to consider measures against the new coronavirus, we provided some of the system's functions free of charge from the end of last month, and the number of companies introducing it has increased. And that interest is growing.
A person in charge of the venture company “Hacobu” said, “Logistics is essential to our daily lives. I want people who work in it to know that they are taking various measures.”
