???????Third, wearable devices (Wearable Devices) combined with the work not only as a data collection equipment, will also achieve better data sharing capabilities, the liberation of laborers hands, improve job interaction.
???????2 things
???????Internet of things is generally defined as relying on RFID, infrared sensors, laser scanning, sensors, and any items connected with the Internet, the exchange of information and communication in order to achieve intelligent identification, location, tracking, monitoring and management of a network, It can be said with the logistics industry needs very fit.
???????The logistics case is represented by FedEx's SenseAware Collector and Amazon's Kiva Warehouse Robot, which automatically records the time, location, temperature, humidity, light, temperature and other conditions of the goods, mainly for medical equipment, precision instruments, etc. VIP.
???????Internet of things is to achieve automatic detection and automatic control of key technologies, many areas of industry and agriculture has begun a large number of applications. In the future, the data will be transferred between devices, and will even exceed the centralized exchange between the back-end servers, so that information and real real time and space consistency, and to achieve self-driven process.
???????3 Automation
???????Automation, including alternative operations, data acquisition, process control, and robotics, auxiliary handling loading, wear-type mechanical power, packaging technology combined to enhance the efficiency of logistics operations, quality, reduce manpower, inventory costs.
???????The classical supply chain bullwhip effect is based on the multi-link information sharing, while the e-commerce to the middle layer, the asymmetric longitudinal conduction was significantly reduced, but the uncertainty of online orders led to more intense horizontal supply and demand, Guarantee order fulfillment directly contributed to the outbreak of the warehouse industry and express industry at the same time, regardless of hub-spoke, or multi-point distribution, should rely on automation to enhance lean supply chain.
???????Third, online
???????The Internet to more and more of the social resources of the revitalization, but also the enterprise's own resources presented and to be used. One is to achieve uninterrupted business, the whole link more open data sharing, companies will be more effective response to events or decision-making, at any time control the availability of resources; Second, real-time service, user operation more convenient, enhance customer experience, closer to business and users Distance.
???????1 mobile Internet
???????The nature of logistics is mobile, mobile technology can be widely used in all aspects of logistics, such as vehicle positioning, cargo tracking, instruction scheduling, customer feedback and so on. Today, the smart phone in the consumer and gradually penetrate into all aspects of the supply chain, from the office management to the warehouse administrator, in-transit drivers and couriers and other logistics staff groups. Throughout the whole process of logistics end to end, increasing the degree of mobility, control means more diverse.
???????Mobile Internet has also become the basis of many models of innovation, mobile positioning and data collection, mobile payment and real-time settlement, mobile identification and privacy can be applied in order to achieve business improvement and service innovation.
???????2 Real-time calculation
???????Real-time computing is both a business scenario and a cutting-edge technology framework. With the emergence of new features such as multi-state, large-scale, and fluctuation, the real-time response and flexible scheduling of network are more challenging. only through real-time services and real-time operations, in order to achieve high efficiency and low cost.
????????Real-time services, mainly to enhance customer service, uninterrupted connectivity, availability. Such as customers and recipients need to know real-time logistics status, multi-channel, all-weather inquiries, subscriptions, booking, online shipping, and customer feedback and operational processes are closely related; real-time operation, to adapt to new marketing and shopping, Which real-time information technology and logistics support is the key.
???????For example, based on the order of the rookie core, perspective downstream delivery, control and optimize the logistics operation, real-time inventory allocation to the seller recommended for the user to selec the time line.
???????Fourth, the service
???????Information as the core link of resource integration, will produce the scale of marginal and value-added benefits, and this core must be to provide services in the form of benefits. Leading enterprises are not only part of the chain, but also become an organizer or integrator, through the open interconnection, to obtain more associated data, external data, data-driven transactions, Credit relationship, and then to create value services.
??????In addition, information technology itself has become a kind of internal and external services for enterprises, in addition to system construction is good or bad, but also pay attention to service response, integrity and delivery, etc., to service data assets.
???????Cloud computing
???????from the software as a service to the present information technology full service, such as infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, storage as a service, cloud service information resource management is to subvert the traditional route of enterprise information. In addition, e-commerce not only brought the traditional retail and trade channels of model changes, as well as technical system changes.
???????2 open platform
???????Business platform is the development trend. E-commerce is almost transparent competition, the information flow and platform dependence is more and more high, the platform for SMEs to obtain business, transaction data, the accumulation of credit an important window.
???????At the same time, competition drives businesses to offer more SKUs in an attempt to profit from the long-tail effect, and in an effort to reduce logistics costs and improve the distribution experience for the sale of low-cost, low-interest goods, such as micro warehouses, , Overseas warehouses and other services. Such as the express industry, is the representative of the economies of scale, forced by the rapid development of e-commerce requirements, express industry openness is essential for the platform also put forward a more intense demand.
???????3 intelligent
???????In fact, intelligence is the "Internet +" and even the highest stage of science and technology, runs through the enterprise operation, management and service of the whole process. At present, the "wisdom of logistics" is a new direction for the development of the logistics industry, its core is the use of digital, large data and cloud computing technology to improve the entire business process.
???????V. Summary
???????Technology leadership, that is, through information technology assets to enhance organizational profitability and create excellent business case. However, the story of scientific and technological progress is unusually brilliant, and business development complement each other's application is lackluster.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen strategic design, solve the relationship between technology and business, and accelerate the implementation of a new strategy with insight and foresight, that is, to solve a series of structural problems such as governance, organization and performance.
????????Enterprise positioning is based on its unique background, differentiation and value proposition of customer choice and business design, technology should focus on their own positioning and industry advantages. At the same time, corporate culture is also an irreplaceable internal factors, is the technology can play an important catalyst, the same can not be ignored.
