At 8:00 pm on October 24th, the pre-sale of Tmall Double Eleven in 2022 was officially launched. While orders flooded into the e-commerce platform, major express companies began to enter the busiest time of the year.
To meet the arrival of the “peak" of parcels, all major express companies have released the Double Eleven logistics support plans in advance, and comprehensively upgraded in many aspects such as capacity preparation, courier care and the last mile delivery.
But the existence of problems still can not be ignored, such as the consumers’ never-ending pursuit of speed and precision, the courier industry with a surplus of scale but insufficient refinement, the shortage of manpower leading to increasing end expenses, etc. “Improving quality and efficiency” has become the key word of this Double Eleven among express enterprises.
Explore a new path to improve quality and efficiency from manual sorting to intelligent sorting
From November 1 to 11, 2020, postal and express enterprises in China totally handled 3.965 billion parcels (675 million parcels were handled on November 11). In 2021, this figure reached 4.776 billion. With the continuous improvement of e-commerce penetration rate, it is expected that this figure will maintain steady growth in the same period of 2022.
With the growth of e-commerce, the parcel handling volume and distribution speed of the logistics industry have increased rapidly, which is attributed to the large-scale application of automatic sorting equipment.
In more and more express sorting centers, advanced automatic sorting equipment has replaced the traditional manual sorting assembly line, enabling “manual sorting” changed into “intelligent sorting”. Among them, singulator, which can automatically sort messy express parcels, has entered our field of vision and become the mainstay for many express enterprises to meet the Double Eleven test.
Wayzim’s singulator adopts AI visual target positioning technology to accurately identify and sort parcel position information uniquely according to dynamic imaging, and realize parcel separation by virtue of highly sensitive independent movement of the control unit, with an accuracy rate of 99.99%, ranking first in the industry.
The core of the singulator, AI visual target positioning technology, takes WZ-GE industrial camera as its core, integrates deep learning, image splicing, drive control and other algorithms, and can accurately locate the parcel positions and output them evenly at sequential intervals, so as to accurately locate parcels in real time.
The equipment has the following advantages:
Accessibility recognition
Based on powerful algorithms, it can achieve accessibility recognition of difficult-to-measure items such as envelopes, waterproof bags and black express parcels, with recognition accuracy up to 99.5%;
High precision, high efficiency and stability
It can continuously run 24 hours with efficiency up to 7,200 pcs/h (the highest in the industry), making the sorting efficiency increased by more than 80% in combination with parcel separation and distancing functions;
High expansibility
It supports multi-camera splicing, to meet the need of different fields of view;
Flexible deployment
It has compact structure integrated with light source, with easy and fast installation and commissioning.
It is worth mentioning that Wayzim's 10K singulator, which separates up to 10,000 pieces per hour, has replaced imported equipment for the first time in a key customer application scenario, providing a more efficient and favorable solution for the customer.
The 10K singulator developed by Wayzim is used in the fully automatic parcel infeed scenario, which is the first in China. The key indicators such as sorting efficiency and recognition accuracy are at the international advanced level.
The singulator and supporting equipment for small parcels mainly include: spatial singulator section, horizontal singulator section, side/centered roller conveyor and spacing controller. Relying on the optimal technical solution and combined with intelligent control system, it can easily cope with sorting tasks with daily unit sorting volume up to hundreds of thousands of parcels by virtue of intelligent and standardized advantages.
The singulator is capable of positioning, separating, and intelligently lining up parcels, thus turning bulk parcels into a single row and forming a very neat “formation”, and together with large automatic sorters, it can achieve full automatic transfer and sorting, and successfully complete the order processing.
In summary, Wayzim’s singulator realizes the unmanned infeed of parcels in the sorting system and greatly improves the automation of the sorting center. The singulator is capable of positioning, separating, and intelligently lining up parcels, thus turning bulk parcels into a single row and forming a very neat “formation”, and together with large automatic sorters, it can achieve full automatic transfer and sorting, and successfully complete the order processing.
Improving quality and efficiency means that express enterprises will truly transform from price competition to operation, efficiency and service competition, which requires that express enterprises must adhere to scientific and technological innovation, so as to comprehensively improve service and efficiency and strengthen core competitiveness. Therefore, Wayzim adheres to the spirit of “scientific and technological innovation, craftsmanship and quality”, insists on the business philosophy of R&D as the core and market demand as the guide, and carries out in-depth research on a number of core technologies with good development prospects for intelligent logistics and intelligent manufacturing, and has made breakthroughs, with singulator being one of the representative achievements.
The Double Eleven e-commerce promotion is also a test question for Wayzim. Wayzim hopes to stand the test, refine its ability, and enhance inter-industry synergistic development driven by digital intelligence technology to ensure stable and orderly growth under rich express service scenarios.
