Development status of logistics

automation equipment

Traditional logistics can be divided into three types: the first type is transportation, including air transportation, railway, highway and sea transportation; The second type is warehousing; The third type is transit center or logistics center. In fact, it is a certain link or part of the functional service provider of logistics, which can only complete one or several links of the entire integrated logistics service, so this service type can only be regarded as traditional logistics or traditional storage and transportation. The vast majority of traditional logistics enterprises regard warehousing and transportation as the main logistics business, and regard warehousing and transportation as two independent links, so the logistics function is simple, the system is poor, and the overall benefit is low. The so-called modern logistics not only refers to the entire physical flow of raw materials and products from production to consumption, but also includes the information flow that accompanies this process. Moreover, modern logistics uses computer networks and information technology to closely link the originally separated business flow, logistics, information flow and purchase, transportation, warehousing, agency, distribution and other links, forming a complete supply chain. Therefore, modern logistics is the unification of goods logistics, information flow, capital flow and talent flow. It focuses on the movement of the entire circulation of goods, aims at the overall optimization of the enterprise, is an information centered commodity supply system that corresponds to actual needs, and is a systematic management of the movement of goods. The development of modern logistics has accelerated the rapid growth of the logistics equipment market, and automated logistics systems have shown strong demand in various industries.
