On March 1, 2018, Jingdong CEO Liu Qiangdong announced:
Independently researched and developed by Jingdong, the world’s first unmanned intelligent distribution station is now opened in China!
This is a unique and truly full-process intelligent unmanned distribution station!
It has the following features:
1, Unmanned
The drone sends goods to the top of the unmanned distribution station and then the goods will be automatically unloaded. From warehousing, packing, sorting to loading, 100% of the entire process is operated by robots, with even no one clerk, picker or packer!
2, Convenient
Jingdong’s unmanned intelligent distribution station has an area of 14.4 square meters and a height of 3.6 meters. It can store at least 28 containers and it also has a delivery box that can store and charge a terminal’s unmanned vehicle.
This distribution station is suitable for different environments, such as urban and rural mountainous areas. It is also convenient for services such as self-service, return and exchange.
3, Intelligence
Jingdong’s unmanned intelligent distribution station has been equipped with eyes and has deep learning artificial intelligence. Vision technology and the Internet of Things technology, make it faster and more efficient than manual service!
After the unmanned distribution station received the cargo delivered by the drone, it was automatically and internally distributed, then the delivery robot loads the goods and completes the delivery.
4, Save money
The operating costs of unmanned intelligent distribution stations are very low. In the former logistics industry, labor costs 90%, but now after a one-time investment, JD.com only needs to pay rent and machine maintenance costs.
In other words, the so-called unmanned distribution stations that have been seen before are actually automated. But the unmanned distribution station of Jingdong achieved a revolutionary breakthrough from automation to intelligence.
At present, JD’s unmanned distribution stations have achieved seamless integration.
A subversive revolution in the express logistics industry will coming soon!
