At two o'clock in the morning in the North China Logistics Park, the sorting workshop supervisor Lao Ma dared to take out his mobile phone for the first time to take a work photo and send it to WeChat Moments - in the picture, thousands of parcels of various shapes are automatically turned, measured, and packaged on the conveyor belt, and fall into the corresponding grid accurately as if they were cast by magic. "This is much more comfortable than the chaotic scene of manual sorting last year!" He was talking about the automatic parcel sorting and packaging system that our factory had just put into use.
Last fall, when this logistics company, which handles 200,000 orders per day, found us, the warehouse was still piled with half-person-high complaint slips: suitcases and cosmetic boxes were squeezed together for sorting, and fragile glass bottles were always "smashed to pieces" on the conveyor belt. Our engineering team spent three days on the spot and found that the root of the problem was that the traditional packaging machine was "blind" - it could neither accurately measure the volume of irregular packages nor grasp the packaging strength.
So, we installed "fire eyes and golden eyes" on the automatic sorting and packaging system for packages. The dynamic volume measurement module uses the same technology as airport security inspection, and can scan the concave and convex contours of the package in 0.1 seconds. When renovating a cross-border e-commerce warehouse in Zhejiang last month, the system could automatically match the best packaging solution from jewelry boxes as big as a baby's fist to pet cages half a person high. The warehouse manager looked at the automatically generated three-dimensional packaging report and was amazed: "This machine knows how to 'choose the right dish' better than the old sorter who has been working for ten years!"
What really made customers give a thumbs up was the breakthrough in polyhedron intelligent packaging technology. In the past, workers had to cut bubble film manually when encountering cylindrical yoga mats or L-shaped hardware. Now, the automatic parcel sorting and packaging system can complete six-sided three-dimensional packages in three seconds, just like an origami artist. After three months of trial use at a fresh food logistics base in Northeast China, the damage rate of cold chain packages has dropped directly to the heel of the industry average. Their operations director joked: "Customers used to curse when they received thawed hairtail, but now the packaging is so tight that it can be used as a courier box!" The flexible package supply system is our "invisible assistant" for logistics companies.
During the peak period of Double Eleven, temporary workers threw packages at different angles and strengths, but the system could resolve various "barbaric throws" like Tai Chi push hands. During a live broadcast e-commerce promotion last month, a customer temporarily activated a backup line. New employees who had not even received training took office for two hours, and their sorting efficiency was actually the same as that of a skilled worker team. Workshop director Lao Li stared at the monitoring screen and sighed: "This automatic parcel sorting and packaging system is much better than my ability to train people!" What makes us even more proud is the "side effects" in actual application. After using our packaging machine, a book storage center in Guangdong found that the automatically generated hexagonal packaging solution actually saved nearly 30% of packaging materials compared to traditional square boxes; a flower logistics company in Yunnan even stacked the packaged packages into an art installation, which became a popular check-in spot. The most amazing thing is the pet food warehouse in Hebei - workers can now pet cats while inspecting, because the machine automatically avoids the sorting vibration of live packages. From the nightmare of warehouse explosion to peace of mind, our factory's automatic package sorting and packaging system is rewriting the script of the logistics industry. Next time you are inspecting the warehouse and see the packages "queueing up to get the certificate" in an orderly manner, you might as well take a closer look - maybe one of the devices is secretly using the "package communication technique" we developed!
