CCTV News: Artificial intelligence, as a strategic technology leading the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, has profoundly changed the way of human production and life. Today, many industries are actively embracing new technologies. As the basic, strategic and pioneering industry of the national economy, the logistics industry plays an important role in ensuring the smooth economic circulation and serving production and life. Since the beginning of this year, many new changes have also occurred in the logistics field. Let’s follow the reporter of the Central Station to enter the logistics digital enterprise to see what kind of qualitative changes will occur when the traditional logistics industry meets AI?
As a road network freight platform enterprise, the company's investment in R&D in recent years has maintained annual growth of 10% to 20%. Such investment is rare among logistics companies. The person in charge said that relying solely on traditional manpower to invest, the cost will be very high and it will be easily eliminated by the market, so companies use new AI intelligent solutions based on big models.
So, what role can AI play in the field of highway network freight? The staff showed the reporter a conversation between AI customer service and truck driver on the spot. It is not just the on-transit supervision link of goods, from freight pricing to order allocation to fulfillment supervision, the reporter found in the interview that the application scenarios of AI are developing in a direction that runs through the entire freight process. Corporate technicians said that the most important optimization indicator of artificial intelligence is to reduce the driver's air driving rate, and the usual air driving rate of Chinese truck drivers may reach 30% to 40%. With the help of AI, the air driving rate has dropped to 6% to 7%, and the efficiency improvement is still huge.
At present, AI has become more and more application scenarios in the field of logistics. This logistics digital platform company in Nanjing, Jiangsu has begun to invest in business practices with the help of the intelligent multimodal transport system developed by AI.
With AI, it not only greatly shortens the time for proposing multimodal transport solutions, but also makes the quality of the solutions more accurate and effective. Technical experts said that over the past ten years, the platform has accumulated more than 50 million orders, covering 60,000 highway routes and 4,500 water transport routes. The system compares thousands of solutions through AI to select smart multimodal transport solutions that best match customer needs, achieving "one-click generation" of logistics needs.
According to the latest "China Logistics and Supply Chain Fields AI Application Research Report", in the field of logistics and supply chain, the penetration rate of artificial intelligence has been rising and showing an accelerated trend. The overall penetration rate of AI technology exceeds 37%, of which the penetration rate of transportation scenario applications is the highest, close to 80%. Liu Yuhang, director of the China Logistics Information Center, said that through the "artificial intelligence +" method, the errors in previous manual information transmission can be effectively solved, and the supply chain organization method can be effectively optimized, providing important support for the future realization of intelligent development in the entire logistics field.
