In the era of e-commerce, logistics informatization is an inevitable requirement of e-commerce. Logistics informatization is characterized by commercialization of logistics information, database and coding of logistics information collection, electronization and computerization of logistics information processing, standardization and real-time delivery of logistics information, and digitalization of logistics information storage.
2. Automation
There are many facilities for logistics automation, such as bar code/voice/radio frequency automatic identification system, automatic sorting system, automatic access system, automatic guided vehicle and automatic cargo tracking system. These facilities have been widely used in the logistics process in developed countries, but in China, due to the late start and low development level of the logistics industry, the popularization of automation technology will take a long time.
3. Establish a working network
The foundation of networking in logistics field is also informatization, which is one of the main characteristics of logistics activities under e-commerce. Logistics networking is the necessity of logistics informatization. The availability of global network resources such as the Internet and the popularization of network technology provide a good external environment for logistics networking, which is unstoppable.
4. Changes in the physical logistics network
First of all, the number of warehouses will be reduced and the inventory will be concentrated. Secondly, the main form of future logistics nodes is the distribution center. Finally, the integrated logistics center will be integrated with large distribution centers.
5. smart.
This is an advanced application of logistics automation and informatization. A large number of operations and decisions in the process of logistics operation, such as the determination of inventory level, the choice of transportation (handling) path, the trajectory and operation control of automatic guided vehicles, the operation of automatic sorting machines, and the decision support of logistics distribution center management, all need a lot of knowledge to solve.
In the process of logistics automation, logistics intelligence is an unavoidable technical problem. Fortunately, expert systems, robots and other related technologies have already achieved relatively mature research results in the world. In order to improve the level of logistics modernization, intelligent logistics has become a new trend of logistics development under e-commerce.
Extended data:
China's existing logistics enterprises can be roughly divided into the following categories:
1. Specialized logistics enterprises directly under the central government, that is, materials storage and transportation companies specializing in production materials and Sinotrans companies. Warehousing is mainly aimed at the interior of the system, so business flow and logistics are separated and subject to administrative control.
2. Local professional logistics enterprises, namely the storage and transportation companies and grain storage systems of local commercial systems, are completely under the local administrative leadership.
3. Part-time logistics enterprises, that is, logistics enterprises integrating logistics and business flow, account for a large proportion and the number is increasing.
