Disadvantages and advantages of Intelligent sorting Robot Xiaoxiang in JD.com Warehouse
The advantages are as follows:
The sorting efficiency of “Xiaoxiang” is three or four times higher than that of manual labor.
In the past, the sorting of express parcels required workers to identify the order, read out the address, and then assign it to each slide. If something went wrong, they would face the double pressure of return and complaint. With the emergence of the “little yellow man”, the disadvantages in the manual sorting process have been reduced to a minimum.
It can be seen at the scene that on the workbench covering an area of 1200 square meters, more than 300 sorting robots code-named “Little Yellow Man” are picking up, scanning codes, transporting and delivering goods, and the whole process is orderly. And this has also become a beautiful “scenery” in Ma Chung Intelligent sorting Center. Relying on inertial navigation and QR code technology, these “small yellow people” can not only automatically identify express surface information, automatically complete the scanning and weighing of parcels, and complete the sorting and delivery of goods with the optimal route. At the same time, it can line up and charge automatically, even if there is a failure, the maintenance time is only about 20 seconds.
At present, the average daily sorting capacity of Ma Chung Intelligent Robot sorting Center is 40 to 50, 000 pieces, with a maximum production capacity of 12000 pieces per hour, with a sorting accuracy of 100%, and the sorting efficiency is 3 to 4 times that of manual sorting.
Artificial intelligence + big data promotes the speed of the industry
Since the establishment of JD.com ‘s first distribution station in 2007, JD.com Logistics has been continuously improving the efficiency of logistics through the application of new technologies, especially in the research and development and application of artificial intelligence and big data. In the application field of unmanned technology, the unmanned warehouse configuration of six-axis robot, intelligent handling robot and SHUTTLE shelf shuttle vehicle, as well as unmanned station, drone and unmanned vehicle have been fully landed and have been put into application.
As one of the largest and most automated modern intelligent logistics projects built by JD.com in Asia, JD.com Ma Chung Intelligent Robot sorting Center in South China is not only the first matrix sorting center in South China. at the same time, it is also the first sorting center in the country with fully automatic robot equipment, covering the second-level ferry service in the four provinces of South China.
While improving the efficiency of his own business, JD.com also opened his supply chain technology to the outside world, enabling the whole industry to speed up and increase efficiency. At present, JD.com Logistics and JD.com Y Division have jointly created an intelligent supply chain open platform-Zhuge Zhixiang, to enhance the merchants’ supply chain intelligent management ability. Through this platform, merchants can obtain full supply chain management control, such as inventory layout, inventory health diagnosis and advice, intelligent allocation, intelligent replenishment and unsalable treatment, to achieve the best experience of optimal inventory rental, minimum inventory, highest spot and high-speed performance.

What is the development background of sorting robot?
Sorting robot (Sorting robot) is a kind of robot with sensor, objective lens and electronic optical system, which can sort goods quickly. So what is the development background of sorting robot?
1. With the continuous increase of labor cost, using robots instead of manpower to do some repetitive and high-intensity labor is an important direction of modern robot research.
2. At present, automatic navigation car is widely used in logistics system and flexible manufacturing system, but its main guidance mode is electromagnetic or inertial guidance. Electromagnetic guidance needs to bury metal wire and load guide frequency, which has obvious shortcomings. poor flexibility, it is troublesome to change or expand the path, and interferes with the ferromagnetic material near the guide line.
3. Inertial guidance mainly installs gyroscopes, but the disadvantage is that the follow-up problems such as high cost maintenance are difficult to solve, and magnetic blocks are also needed for auxiliary positioning on the ground. In addition, this kind of car lacks the ability to distinguish objects.
That’s all about the background of sorting robot development.
The working principle of the sorting robot is very amazing.
1. Sorting robots are like small orange workers who have their own “eyes” and can locate and find their way by “looking” at the QR codes pasted on the ground. All Little Orange people follow the command of one brain, the robot dispatching system. When the robot successfully receives the package, it passes through a gantry equipped with peripherals such as industrial cameras and electronic scales. With the help of the code reading function of Haekangwei industrial camera and the weighing function of electronic scale, the “brain” recognizes the single information of express delivery, completes the scanning and weighing of parcels, and plans the optimal running path of the robot according to the destination of the package. dispatch the robot for parcel sorting and delivery.
2. Each delivery port corresponds to a different destination, and there is a slope below. After the package is delivered by the robot, it will be concentrated and wait for it to be transported to the next station. These robots are not only cute and cool, but also amazingly efficient to work with pickers, picking more than three times as many goods an hour as traditional pickers.
Have robots learned to distribute couriers? Do you do better than others?
In the following motion picture, a small robot with an orange tray shuttles through the warehouse in an orderly manner, delivering parcels to a designated location, just like a vehicle in a miniature city. this kind of robot can also find its own power supply to charge when the power is running out, which is like the “cool techs” with artificial intelligence.
(express sorting robot at work)
According to reports, the robot is mainly aimed at small parcels no more than 60 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide and weighing less than 5 kilograms. In a transit station with a size of 2000 square meters, only 300 robots can sort 20, 000 pieces of goods within an hour. The sorter only needs to put the express on the conveyor belt into the robot’s orange tray, and the robot can weigh it on its own, and scan the code to identify the express message. the reading time of each code can be controlled within 1 second, and the accuracy is higher than 99.99%.
Robots occupying the warehouse.
For the logistics industry, which is sensitive to human costs, the emergence of robots is an epoch-making breakthrough. Every program completed by the robot brings the reduction of labor cost and the improvement of work efficiency. At present, in the warehouse, robots can mainly replace manual labor in sorting, handling, stacking and so on.
Different types of sorting robots, regardless of shape, are equipped with image recognition systems. Through magnetic strip guidance, laser guidance, ultra-high frequency RFID guidance and machine vision recognition technology, the sorting robot can drive automatically. After “seeing” different shapes of objects, the robot can automatically transport the items on the tray to the designated location.

The “eighteen classes of martial arts” of sorting robots
After receiving the delivery instructions, the automatic sorting machine, through visual scanning technology, quickly classifies the goods according to the variety, material, weight and destination of the goods, and then sends the goods to the designated shelf or shipping station.
At the same time, the robot can also distribute the goods on the shelf to different platforms for outward transportation in the shortest time. This can greatly shorten the delivery cycle of express delivery and improve the level of service.
(busy sorting robot)
The automatic sorting robot reduces the time of goods sorting and transportation. The staff only need to put the goods on the automatic transport machine, and the robot will raise the tray at the shipping station to wait for the goods to be received, and then distribute them centrally.
The automatic sorting robot is obviously tireless, and the working speed is consistent, and the standardized operation maximizes the management cost of the staff.
The Core of cool techs– automatic Technology based on Visual recognition
Intelligent technology with advantages such as automatic and efficient is becoming the focus of express companies, and there is a technology that enables robots to play an important role in the express industry, which is “visual recognition”.
(sorting robot recognizes obstacles and avoids obstacles automatically)
1. Automated color code scanning
With the application of automated color coding technology, workers only need to scan the bar codes on the goods and input the relevant information into the sorting system, and the sorting robot will receive instructions to determine which sorting area the goods will enter. The core of this technology lies in the control device of the sorting system, which classifies information according to the material, weight and other factors provided by merchants or shippers, and sends out sorting requirements, and the robot will transport the goods to each classified area.
Express enterprises use this shape recognition technology based on visual recognition to improve work efficiency, which can not only save space, but also improve the speed of goods distribution.
two。 Automatic quantity detection technology
As an invisible way of shopping, online shopping is very important to replenish the supply of goods in time to meet the needs of customers. The sorting robot can not only classify goods automatically, but also detect the data and information in the warehouse.
In order to know the inventory in time and deal with the sudden out of stock, express delivery enterprises can know the quantity, inventory, customer return and other information through the automatic sorting system, so as to provide accurate data for understanding the market situation. it can also make express companies and suppliers form a more scientific supply plan and improve the performance of both sides.
3. Automatic shape recognition technology
For different express items, the most obvious feature is “shape”. Therefore, the shape recognition technology based on visual recognition plays a great role in the sorting of express enterprises.
This special technology for shape recognition improves the work efficiency continuously. The sorting robot can classify goods quickly and accurately according to the shape of goods, which can not only save space, but also improve the speed of goods distribution.
The field of logistics robot: there is not much time left for the Chinese team.
In 2016, enterprises from all over the world carried out the research and development and promotion of related products, and foreign companies such as de Maketai and Swisslog have laid out the field of intelligent robots under the east wind of the industrial 4.0. at present, artificial intelligence robots in China are still in the early stage of development, but the market has shown a strong demand.

In terms of core technology, China already has the ability of independent research and development. Xinsong showed off a heavy-duty composite robot at the China International Robotics Exhibition held in July 2016, with a load capacity of 80 tons for mobile robots and 500 kilograms for industrial robots, Logistics Technology and Application reported. Among them, the control system, motion unit and handling unit have all been localized.
There are also some domestic enterprises that cross the border into the robot field. For example, a domestic brand develops the robot market through the acquisition of German Kuka Group. The delivery robot released by an enterprise is about 1 meter tall and can carry about 10-20 parcels. After receiving instructions, it can automatically plan the optimal distribution path and send the goods to the designated location.
Overall, at the beginning of 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology initially counted more than 800 enterprises involved in robot production and integrated applications in China. In the Robot Industry Development Plan (2016-2020), it is pointed out that in the field of industrial robots, China will focus on intelligent production and intelligent logistics, with emphasis on the development of arc welding robots, vacuum robots, fully autonomous programming intelligent industrial robots, man-machine cooperation robots, dual-arm robots, and heavy-duty AGV. In the next five years, Chinese robots will enter a new stage of sustained and stable development.
As the most recognized label in the world, made in China (Made in China) is seeking strategic upgrading. The “made in China” column invites industry authorities and senior players to present their vision of China’s road to innovation.
