Storyline 'Asia No.1' smart warehouse realizes faster logistics through advanced digital technology [Voice_over] Chinese online retail giant JD.com is revolutionizing logistics efficiency with advanced digital technology and optimal space utilization. At its top logistics center in Beijing, aptly named Asia No.1, some 200 robots glide between 12-meter-high racks, fetching and ferrying goods across 3,000 square meters of floor space. Best selling items are automatically placed closer to the outbound staging area to reduce the pickup-to-ship time. Overall, the center’s full-scale sorting automation is three times as efficient as manual models managing 300,000 outbound orders daily. What’s the secret to keeping this massive automated system humming? [Sound_bite] Zhang Guoliang, chief officer for hardware products, technology business department, JD Logistics "The secret to intelligent sorting is the digital twin technology, which allows us to create the digital twin of equipment, algorithm and system. If a solution for a future logistics warehouse is needed, simply entering its data into the system will yield the optimal solution for configuration of its equipment, ensuring peak efficiency." [Voice_over] JD’s smart-warehousing solution is now operational in over 10 countries, tailoring storage and logistics needs for various e-commerce companies and manufacturers.
