In the buffer zone of 4 meters between the two layers of iron horses inside and outside the closed loop of the Winter Olympic venues, outdoor intelligent logistics robots are busy transporting items. The staff simply places the goods on top of the robot, which is transported to the delivery station and unloaded according to a preset route.
"We have already tested unmanned delivery vehicles in some venues during the test race. If it is a normal handling of tables, chairs and equipment, it may take 8 people, and the number of people with this car will be directly halved. In this way, the simultaneous use of 14 competition venues and 4 more important non-competition venues can not only greatly reduce manpower, improve the efficiency of logistics operations, but also reduce the risk of epidemic transmission. Li Jin, director of the Logistics Department of the Logistics Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said.
Interpreting "wonderful" with "simplicity" - in the preparation process for the Beijing Winter Olympics, there are so many such examples that can be easily grasped.
For example, about only renting and not buying. To date, the main logistics center has completed the procurement of about 500 projects. From snow groomers, ice rollers, and snowmobiles that directly serve the competition, to small parts needed in catering, transportation, and logistics, the organizing committee insists on "can borrow or rent, can rent or not buy." "We already have more than 70% of the categories and quantities of supplies obtained through leasing, of which bed sheets and covers are leased." Li Yanling, director of the Logistics Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said.
Another example is the foldable furniture that can be found everywhere. Don't underestimate these foldable tables and chairs benches, they greatly save transportation space and storage space. Li Yanling calculated the account: "If you take the furniture that cannot be folded as a car, folding furniture can save 75% of the volume." This figure is not bad, it can be said that it greatly reduces the number of trains we transport, and also successfully reduces the carbon emissions of logistics and transportation. ”
The staff displayed the Beijing Winter Olympics awards bouquet velvet thread flowers.
And the velvet flower that never fades. The bouquets awarded at the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games no longer use flowers, but instead use velvet flowers crocheted by the traditional Chinese Haipai velvet weaving technique. In the two events, a total of 1251 bouquets are required, with a total of 16731 flowers. Switching to velvet bouquets better controls costs, eliminating the need to transfer from the southern planting base like fresh-cut bouquets, which greatly reduces the cost of transportation and management. Moreover, this is also convenient for athletes to carry back to their home countries and preserve them for a long time, which is both carbon reduction and carbon reduction, frugal and full of humanity.
