With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, green logistics has become an inevitable trend in the development of the logistics industry. In this context, the traditional logistics picking method is outdated due to inefficiency, resource waste and other problems. Therefore, the innovation of "picking solution technology" to realize the green and high efficiency of logistics picking has become the focus of the industry. This paper discusses the innovation and practice of picking solution technology in the context of green logistics.
Green logistics refers to the process of logistics activities, through the use of advanced management concepts and science and technology, to reduce the pollution of the environment and the consumption of resources, and to realize the harmonious coexistence of logistics and the environment.
The role of picking solution technology in green logistics
Picking solution technology is an important means of realizing green logistics by improving the picking efficiency and reducing the energy consumption and waste generation.
Third, the innovation of picking solution technology in the context of green logistics
Energy-saving picking equipment
Research and development of energy-efficient picking equipment, such as electric picking carts, automatic sorters, etc., to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Intelligent picking system
Use big data and artificial intelligence technology to optimize picking paths, reduce ineffective work, and improve picking efficiency.
Environmentally friendly packaging materials
Use biodegradable or recyclable packaging materials in the picking process to reduce environmental pollution.
Four practice cases of picking solution technology
Shunfeng Express's green picking center
Shunfeng Express uses an automated picking system in its picking center, which dramatically improves the efficiency of picking. It also reduces energy consumption and the use of packaging materials.
Alibaba's unmanned warehouse
Alibaba's unmanned warehouse utilizes intelligent robots to perform picking operations, realizing a goods-to-person picking mode that reduces energy consumption and loss during manual handling.
