The combination of new technology and traditional logistics has become intelligent logistics. Intelligent logistics refers to the functions of systematic perception, comprehensive analysis, timely processing, and self-regulation in logistics transportation, warehousing, packaging, loading and unloading, circulation processing, distribution, information services, and other links supported by information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence. Implementing intelligent logistics can greatly reduce transportation costs in various related industries, improve transportation efficiency, and increase enterprise profits. Based on the current development of the industry, the think tank has summarized three applications of the Internet of Things in the logistics industry, namely cargo warehousing, transportation monitoring, and intelligent express terminals.

1、 Goods storage

In traditional warehousing, manual scanning of goods and data collection are often required, resulting in low work efficiency; At the same time, storage space is sometimes unclear, stacking is chaotic, and there is a lack of process tracking. Applying IoT technology to traditional warehousing to form an intelligent warehousing management system can improve the efficiency of goods entry and exit, expand warehousing capacity, reduce labor intensity and costs, and display and monitor the real-time entry and exit status of goods, thereby improving the accuracy of distribution. Complete the data query, backup, statistics, report generation, and report management of the entire system, such as goods receipt and storage, inventory allocation, procurement and outbound, as well as data query, backup, statistics, report production, and report management of the entire system.

2、 Transportation monitoring

Through the logistics vehicle management system, real-time monitoring of trucks and goods can be achieved, including real-time positioning and tracking of vehicles and goods, monitoring the status and temperature and humidity of goods, as well as monitoring the driving behavior of transport vehicles, such as speed, tire temperature and pressure, fuel consumption, speed, and the number of brakes. Effectively combining information on goods, drivers, and vehicle driving to improve transportation efficiency, reduce transportation costs, minimize cargo losses, and have a clear understanding of all conditions during transportation.

3、 Intelligent Express Cabinet

The intelligent express box is based on IoT technology and can identify, store, monitor, and manage objects. Together with a PC server, it forms an intelligent express delivery system. The PC server can process the information data collected by the intelligent express terminal in real time, update the data background in real time, and facilitate personnel to query express delivery, schedule express delivery, and maintain express delivery terminals.

In addition to the application of IoT technology, intelligent logistics also includes related technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The collected data is transmitted to cloud platforms and analyzed and processed using cloud computing and artificial intelligence technology to improve transportation efficiency and save human capital. The Internet of Things technology is an important way to obtain data from traditional industries, and the development of the Internet of Things industry is of great significance.
