Sinopharm Guangdong Logistics Co., Ltd. is located in the logistics center of Guangzhou, where intelligent autonomous mobile robots shuttle endlessly against shelves full of goods; The robotic arm equipped with artificial intelligence visual recognition technology accurately grasps the goods and automatically palletizes; The five-sided scanning device automatically scans and identifies the high-speed running medicine boxes on the conveyor belt.
Before the upgrade of digital intelligence, the company's logistics center was put into operation for more than 12 years, and the warehouse staff carried an average of 30,000 jin of medical goods per day, with an average of 30,000 steps per person per day, and the business processing capacity reached a bottleneck.
With the help of the smart logistics solution provided by Megvii Technology Company, the warehouse has achieved intelligent upgrades, the overall efficiency has been increased by 25%, the storage density of the logistics center has been increased by 15%, and the operation completion time has been advanced by two hours.
As a unicorn enterprise in the field of artificial intelligence, Megvii Technology continues to cultivate in the fields of computer vision recognition, deep algorithms, and Internet of Things. In recent years, the company has integrated with machinery manufacturing enterprises and launched robots and intelligent equipment such as intelligent pallet four-way vehicles, artificial intelligence stackers, and autonomous mobile robots.
"Combining artificial intelligence technology with application scenarios in the physical world will better promote the high-quality development of the real economy." Xu Qingcai, head of the logistics business department of Megvii Technology, said.

The first meeting of the 20th Central Finance and Economic Commission held not long ago emphasized that it is necessary to grasp the wave of new scientific and technological revolutions such as artificial intelligence, adapt to the requirements of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, maintain and enhance the advantages of complete industrial system and strong supporting capabilities, efficiently gather global innovation elements, promote industrial intelligence, greening and integration, and build a modern industrial system with integrity, advanced and safety.
China's industrial economy is large and the scale of digital economy ranks second in the world, and there are broad prospects for integrated development. The International Data Corporation (IDC) report shows that with the advent of the era of digital business, the integration of digital business and manufacturing has become inevitable and has become an important condition for revitalizing the real economy. By 2025, 40% of Chinese manufacturers will deploy AI-based tools enterprise-wide to support decision-making processes and maximize the value of data.
Zhong Zhenshan, vice president of IDC China, said that the Chinese market will usher in explosive growth in the next few years, and the market size is expected to exceed $14.7 billion in 2023 and reach $26.3 billion in 2026.
Independent innovation is an inherent requirement for building a manufacturing power and achieving high-quality development. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made clear arrangements for strengthening the main position of enterprise scientific and technological innovation. The transformation of enterprises from "technological innovation subjects" to "scientific and technological innovation subjects" indicates that the role of enterprises in the innovation system has changed.

The Port of Tianjin, one of the world's top ten ports, has also been revitalized with the blessing of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence. In 2018, the world's first driverless electric container truck was put into use; In 2020, the world's first fully driverless truck normal operation project officially landed; In 2021, the intelligent container terminal of Section C of Tianjin Port became the world's first "smart zero-carbon" terminal.
Beijing Mainline Technology Co., Ltd. is a leading artificial intelligence technology innovation enterprise in the R&D and application of smart ports and autonomous trucks in China, and one of the main participants in the digital intelligence upgrade of Tianjin Port. The intelligent horizontal transportation robot developed by the company, Tianjin Port and XCMG Group has the ability of "completely unmanned", helping Tianjin Port to achieve high-precision, fully unmanned, all-weather, safe and stable container autonomous operation in complex operation scenarios.
Zhang Tianlei, founder and CEO of Mainline Technology, believes that the combination of artificial intelligence technology and the real economy is the best way to promote and implement this technology. "Technological innovation is crucial in this process. Our company's technology research and development accounts for more than 70% of the total expenditure, and the research and development personnel account for 80% of the total number of employees. ”
According to data from Tianjin Port, the upgraded Tianjin Port Section C terminal has increased the efficiency of single-bridge operation by more than 40%, the average demurrage time of external container trucks has been reduced to 8.6 minutes, the average comprehensive unit consumption of equipment has been reduced by more than 30%, and labor costs have been reduced by 60%.
Intelligent scenarios such as smart logistics and automatic unmanned terminals are not uncommon in production and life, and a new round of deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy will change the practice and operation mode of industries in all walks of life, and promote the high-quality development of society and industry.
