On a 10 years is the electricity business, the next 10 years is the logistics!

?Ali, Jingdong, Suning, the domestic three home appliance business enterprises, in the past to retail-based, but now invariably start to engage in logistics, but also the wisdom of logistics.

Alibaba

Rookie as Ali's large data, social collaborative logistics platform, its wisdom in the logistics also began to layout early. In May this year, rookie ET logistics laboratory officially announced, the goal is to develop logistics frontier technology products, the pursuit of future development of science and technology in line with the production mode, in the end of the distribution robot, warehouse complex picking robot matrix, And so on.

Over the past three years, the rookie network launched the electronic single, intelligent sub-single, four address library, intelligent delivery engine, logistics cloud, intelligent cloud customer service and other products.

Jingdong

In addition to the earlier exposure of the X division, a few days ago Jingdong also resorted to a large move: Jingdong logistics announced independent brand operation, open to the community. In the face of the whole society and industry open, Jingdong logistics next step is through technological innovation to enhance the level of intelligent Jingdong logistics to cloud computing, artificial intelligence and robotics as the core, the most substantial increase Jingdong logistics efficiency and experience The Jingdong logistics laboratory is carrying out fully automated logistics center, UAV, storage robot and automatic driving vehicle delivery research and development, UAV delivery has entered the trial operation phase.

Suning

December 6, Suning announced the establishment of Suning Logistics Research Institute and S laboratory, began to concentrate on creating Suning wisdom logistics ecology. And this is not a sudden, before this year's 21, located in Nanjing Yuhua logistics base, but also Yuhua Logistics Center Phase II Suning Yuncang has been opened once, Suning Yun warehouse to achieve the entire process of warehousing intelligent Scale application of complex scenes.

In fact, whether it is self-logistics or third-party logistics, are to meet their own development at the same time determined to change the status quo of the industry, reduce social logistics operating costs.

Why are the wisdom of the logistics?

For the integration of the logistics industry chain, from the industry chain upstream to the last 100 meters, you can pick out a variety of integration programs, why the final choice in the wisdom of logistics in this field started?

China's logistics industry in recent years, rapid development, but compared with the same period abroad, there is still a certain gap, whether it is currently promoting the "car carrier" pilot model, or in the wisdom of this aspect of logistics.

Amazon as the largest US e-commerce company to sell books started to complete the category well-known, to lay the foundation for the logistics industry. In the wisdom of logistics, the Amazon robot, unmanned aerial vehicles, automatic sorting technology, unmanned warehouse has been in the forefront of the industry.

So far, Amazon's logistics is one of the most promising global projects, although Amazon is the use of third-party distribution + self-distribution, but through the development of recent years, its self-logistics has been to the point wher you can not be underestimated, Enough to support some areas of independent distribution tasks, and its global customer resources, the current logistics network is built around the world one of the major operators, and even some logistics companies are not.

Ali, Jingdong, Suning, from the scale and the volume is concerned, is not comparable with the Amazon, but from the development path, the few are the same, the development of electricity to a certain size, the logistics is the magic weapon to win, Which is what is said now the supply chain integration. To Amazon as the standard, the wisdom of logistics industry consensus, which is the key to profitability.

Rookie network CEO Tong Wenhong that the entire logistics of the reduction must be a full chain, from the production side to the distribution to the hands of consumers to optimize, if you can not do all the chain of inventory savings, Internet + logistics can not play really effect. The concept of intelligence, data, and collaboration can change China's logistics and boost China's economy.

wher is the future?

Amazon has a smart storage system, through the classification system to quickly locate the storage location of goods, and according to the optimal picking path to complete efficient picking. Fine to latitude and longitude of the transport path optimization, to protect the aging situation to achieve the lowest cost of transport. At the same time with its large storage center, play a unified distribution and economies of scale, reduce logistics costs.

With the logistics center polymerization order needs, docking large logistics enterprises, reduce logistics and transportation costs, which is one of the core of the Amazon. This is also Ali, Jingdong, Suning to promote the logistics open, the next step is the wisdom of logistics, into the enterprise, to provide integrated supply chain services.

only in the logistics costs continue to decline under the premise of electricity providers will have more advantages, more money to improve the network construction, etc., to provide more quality services. And the cost of the decline, the most impressive result is to bring business profits, the original Amazon spent five years, the logistics costs by half, by reducing freight rates to expand market share, and finally through the economies of scale to achieve profitability.

This year in March, the rookie network set up rookie alliance, through large data projections, and more sub-warehouse and the nearest distribution, etc., to achieve efficient communication of social resources, which also largely reduced the cost of logistics.

Compared to the current Jingdong logistics, although has been a loss, but in terms of size, has begun to show advantages, "fast" to become a label, we can see the original Liu Qiangdong desperate is right.

Jingdong vice president, X business unit president Xiao Jun said that in terms of cost reduction, investment is one aspect, the income is also one aspect. Such as a single reduction of 2, 5 million a day, one day can save 10 million of expenditure. Unmanned car will be reduced by 20% of the distribution costs.

Industry experts, said Jingdong logistics in the next big chess, in fact, seemingly loss, but the total can be a good control in a certain range, not can not be realized, but not yet to time. This is also a foreign capital to see Jingdong point, the future will be able to rely on logistics Jingdong stand out.

In the past three years, the rookie network relies on large data, in order to achieve the new supply chain to provide in the background support, in-depth supply chain, to solve the business inventory. According to public information, rookie can not only help businesses to achieve a line of goods under the line of transformation, more depth into the daily production and operation of enterprises, to "logistics involved in the factory."

In the logistics industry continues to become the lifeblood of today, relying on the warehouse with one, large data cloud processing, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles and other technologies to become the next outlet, not the outlet to the late, just to the wind after the small. But believe that in Ali, Jingdong, Suning and other electric business enterprises continue to open the logistics system and the active layout of the wisdom of the logistics environment, this wind will blow the bigger, the level of China's logistics once again pulled up. Hansen supply chain president Huang Gang believes that the future of electricity business logistics will not be the concept of the new retail supply chain services.

Ma Yun in Hangzhou this year, Yunqi meeting put forward the concept of new retail, he believes that the era of pure electricity business has passed, the next decade, twenty years, no e-commerce that only new retail this, that is, online And logistics must be combined to create a real new retail.

Suning Logistics Group Vice President Yao Kai said that the electricity business has changed people's lives, logistics has changed the future of electricity providers. Electricity business logistics in the Internet of things, large data widely used, is facing the scene, technology, model of profound changes. In the past, the construction of logistics system is the spontaneous behavior of enterprises, but the wisdom of logistics is not the same, intelligent technology to be applied to complex scenes, to adapt to the huge commodity SKU, test an organization of cross-border integration and cross-border innovation.

The last 10 years is the electricity business, the next 10 years is the logistics (supply chain service). Ali, Jingdong, Suning are in the wisdom of logistics, of course, this is only one of them, and they are only part of China's electricity business, what is the future in the end? This no one can guarantee. Every step of the enterprise is a big step in exploring the industry. Enterprises can eventually develop into what volume, to see the electricity business logistics (supply chain services) how to develop.
