Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Drone logistics...

Already used it?

Wang Wei had been shocked by the original "nothing wrong” clause of the Ark. The next sentence of the Ark surprised him not knowing what to say.

Now that the Ark had offered to take him on a tour, he would naturally not refuse, followed by almost no hesitation to come down.

“Be sure to show me around! ”

He stood up from his seat as he spoke.

Looking at Wang Wei, who was desperate, Ark Zhou smiled and lowered his head, indicating that he was not in a hurry. Then he called the secretary of the office in charge of the reception and told her.

“Talk to President Chen for me. Just say that I will take President Wang to the factory for a circle. He may be back later at noon. ”

“Yes, Master Lu. ”

The secretary who saw him left the reception room. The ark continued to look at Wang Wei and smiled and said.

“Let's go, too. ”

……

The factory at the entrance of the ark, located in the corner of the Jinling High-tech Park, immediately adjacent to the highway entrance and railway freight station, is considered one of the star enterprises of Jinling City.

Actually, it's Mr. Liu's factory.

Since the incorporation of Star Sky Technology, Zhongshan New Materials has been supported by the strong technological background of Star Sky Technology, relying on orders from the East Asian Electric Power and New Energy Industry Chain, from a small and medium-sized plate listed materials company in Jinling, to become a leader in the processing of carbon materials in China.

It has to be said that science and technology are the first productivity.

Liu Wanshan, who fully enjoyed the technology dividend, is arguably an “iron fan” of Star Sky Technology. Liu Wanshan almost did not hesitate to accept Startech's offer when Startech offered to make automatic industrial logistics modifications to his factory.

By now, this industrial logistics system has begun to bear fruit. Zhongshan New Materials in the Lithium Anode Materials Field of Jinling High-tech Park has become a model production unit and scientific and technological bidder for almost the entire city of Jinling.

Completely unmanned material distribution almost maximizes the efficiency of the production line.

At cost, the workload, which had originally required nearly twenty low-level jobs, now required only a highly educated engineer and a group of cloud-server-controlled automation devices to be fully qualified, a gap that could not be addressed on the same day.

“This is the factory I was talking about. ”

Step forward, looking at everything in front of him, Wang Wei's face showed an incredible expression, it took a while to say in a breathtaking tone.

“… incredible. ”

Yes, it's incredible.

In the face of this scene, he has lost his words.

A compact and flexible AGV logistics truck that travels fast in a large factory building carrying a crate of cargo. A six-rotation-wing drone was hovering in the air, replacing workers wearing helmets and adjusting all links of the production line.

The whole factory is like a monster, and those logistics cars and drones are like blood cells flowing through the blood vessels, and that workshop is like an organ of a monster.

From one production line to another, from one workshop to another, every gear is running at high speeds, and every production chain is so efficient that you can't help but create everything here, even with the flow of air, as designed.

Indeed, it is.

This is not just the temperature of the air, the flow of gas per unit of time, even the pm2.5 in the plant is strictly controlled on a demanding value.

It is precisely by such strict standards that the quality rate of lithium anode materials produced from Zhongshan new materials is crowned the world.

Unless there is a systemic malfunction in the plant that cannot be ruled out by the machine, there is usually no need to enter the worker, maintenance of equipment such as drones and logistics vehicles is done outside the plant, while maintenance of workshop production equipment is mostly done through AI-controlled machines.

What is an industrial upgrade? What is Smart Creation?

This is an industrial upgrade! This is Smart Manufacturing!

Although this is not the first time I have felt that technology plays an important role in industrial production, nothing in the past has been as shocked as I have seen before. Now Wang Wei is deeply felt. What do you mean, technology changes the world, technology changes the future.

Not only that, but he finally understood why the Ark, after hearing his question, would say that it was not at all a problem.

Even images have appeared in his mind, with unmanned AGV logistics cars in the smooth logistics center, accompanied by a group of AI-controlled electrically driven drones, unloading cargo from an aircraft or a large truck, loading it onto a logistics truck that drives to the city, and then transporting the package directly to the customer's balcony or mounting it on the window deck.

Swallowed a sip of spit, Wang Weike restrained the excitement in his voice and said.

“How much does this system cost…? ”

“This depends on the specific needs of the customer," he said briefly, looking at the drones passing through the plant, "we have two standards, one for small business owners and the other for large business owners, the main design link of the former being the logistics link optimization between the input of raw materials and the output of manufactured products, the latter mainly for the logistics link optimization within the production line. ”

“In fact, after hearing what you said earlier, I don't think either of these systems might be right for you, and what you might need is a dedicated logistics system for packaging and distribution services in densely populated cities. ”

Wang Wei nodded.

“You're right. ”

“The long-term goal of this intelligent logistics network is to make the entire logistics distribution chain intelligent and unmanned. As I told you earlier, the main road section is transported through a large vehicle, and then it is transported through a vehicle drone. Deliver the package to the customer in real-time computed waypoint-to-point and then return to the nearest drone hive for charging. At the same time, a fully charged drone replenishes the logistics vehicle as it passes. ”

In fact, this drone delivery program is exactly the blueprint drawn in the 10 papers published by the Ark nine years ago. However, it is not easy to achieve this, which involves all aspects that remain to be resolved.

For example, real-time calculations of unmanned aerial vehicles routes, how to determine the most efficient and secure distribution routes, etc. This does not sound complicated, but is in fact a rather difficult issue.

First of all, the drone's route is not based on a 2D plane, but on 3D space in 3D. Secondly, at any given time, the criterion of "many” is applicable, both complex and complex.

For example, in the first-tier cities of Beijing, delivery throughput reached 2.2 billion a year, an average of quite a large number every day. Tens of thousands of drones are needed to support the entire logistics network, and the delivery options and routes of these drones need to be computerized to complete the planning.

It also seems that only Starsea One can solve this problem.

After listening to Wang Wei's needs, Ark thought for a moment and said, “Actually, you can consider outsourcing this intelligent logistics network to us. Including the drones used in the distribution process, including the design of the drone hive, we have a professional team that can do the job, and it's easier to solve the problem as a whole than solving a series of problems you encounter separately. ”

After hearing this, Wang Wei stunned slightly and hesitated to say.

“Isn't this... a good idea? We have established partners in the procurement of equipment such as drones and logistics vehicles and have also entered into long-term strategic cooperation agreements. If possible, I would prefer you to design this intelligent logistics network for our existing conditions. We are still satisfied with the product they are offering and do not intend to replace the supplier at this time. ”

Changing suppliers is no small thing.

This involves many issues.

Especially for a large enterprise such as Shunfeng Group, a single move, perhaps just a small change in the details of a logistics distribution link, could have an unpredictable impact on existing operations.

At the very least, this kind of thing takes several meetings to decide, rather than, as it is now, with a moment of excitement, a slap on the head can be fixed.

Not only that, it really made Wang Wei hesitate, but Shunfeng Group has already invested a lot of money in this project. Outsourcing the entire project now because of bottlenecks, there is always a feeling that all previous investments have been wasted.

Besides, Shunfeng Group is a hundreds of billions of large companies that are constrained by this key technology, which always makes him feel “unrealistic”.

Probably guessed Wang Weixin's concerns, and Ark pondered for a moment and said.

“It depends on how you look at it. Industry enjoys a scaled-up boost, as does scientific research. It's definitely a lot more efficient to leave professional things to professionals than you do yourselves. I won't force you to accept our standards, but from the point of view of an academic, I'm sure I put the best solution first. ”

Wang Wei still hesitated and said, "Do you still produce drones and logistics vehicles? ”

Ark: “Worried we're unprofessional in this? ”

Wang Wei did not speak, but his expression was obviously acquiescent to this.

See, the ark laughed and said.

“We do not have a factory, nor do we have a production line for drones and logistics vehicles, but in the era of intelligent 2.0, these are not problems at all. ”

Looking at Wang Wei, who obviously did not understand what he meant by this phrase, the Ark continued.

“If you're curious, I can show you one more thing. ”

He took a tablet from the accompanying secretary and handed it to the general Wang in front of him.

Looking at Wang Wei, who stared at the tablet in his hand, the ark continued.

“First, you can select the product parameters you want, then upload your needs to the server, and we'll do our best to get it done. This process will take about two hours, not too long, but it will take a while. ”

“Let's go have lunch before we come back. ”
