E-commerce giants purchase electric forklifts in large quantities, accelerating the process of logistics automation

In today’s e-commerce boom under the tide of the times, a quiet revolution is quietly staged in the field of logistics. E-commerce giants have to spend a lot of money to purchase a large number of electric forklifts, this initiative is like a strong catalyst, so that the process of logistics automation all the way to run wildly, accelerating towards the intelligent and efficient new stage. In recent years, with the exponential growth of the e-commerce industry, a huge number of parcels, goods need to be processed and distributed in a timely manner, the shortcomings of the traditional logistics model is becoming more and more prominent. Manual handling and sorting is inefficient, error rate is high, and it is difficult to cope with the order blowout during the e-commerce shopping festival.
In this context, the e-commerce giants will focus on the electric forklift, and this choice can be said to be wise to the extreme. Electric forklift, as a perfect combination of new energy and mechanical products, naturally has many advantages suitable for e-commerce logistics. Its environmentally friendly characteristics, compared with the traditional fuel forklift, electric forklift operation process zero emissions, no pollution, in line with the current development trend of green logistics, help e-commerce enterprises to create environmentally friendly warehousing and distribution system. At the same time, the operation flexibility of electric forklift is remarkable, narrow warehouse aisles, dense spacing between shelves are no longer a problem, it can freely shuttle among them, accurately forked goods, which greatly improves the space utilisation rate, and provides a strong support for the efficient operation of e-commerce warehouses. When the e-commerce giants open the prologue of large-scale procurement of electric forklifts, a series of chain reaction ensues, driving the logistics automation to a new height. First of all, in the warehousing link, electric forklift with advanced intelligent warehouse management system, to achieve the goods into the warehouse, storage, inventory, out of the warehouse of the whole process of automation. Through code recognition, location navigation and other technologies, electric forklift can accurately place the goods in the designated shelves or quickly extract the required goods from the massive inventory, which not only reduces the manpower cost, but also significantly improves the operational accuracy and reduces the damage and error rate of the goods.
In logistics and distribution, electric forklift also plays a key role. Large-scale e-commerce logistics centre daily shipments of hundreds of thousands of pieces, electric forklift trucks to efficiently complete the truck loading and unloading tasks, to ensure the rapid flow of goods. Moreover, with the gradual maturation of unmanned technology, some e-commerce enterprises have begun to pilot the application of unmanned electric forklift to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted operation, to further enhance the logistics efficiency and shorten the waiting time of customers. A head of e-commerce giants, for example, its logistics parks across the country recently purchased thousands of electric forklifts in bulk, and synchronised with the upgrading of supporting software systems. With the support of new equipment and technology, the company’s warehousing efficiency has been increased by more than 30%, logistics costs have been reduced by nearly 20%, and the accuracy of shipments has reached an astonishing 99.9% or more. This result not only allows it to win in the fierce market competition, but also set a benchmark for the industry as a whole. It can be predicted that as e-commerce giants continue to increase the purchase of electric forklifts, the logistics automation snowball will get bigger and bigger.
In the future, electric forklift or will be with artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things and other cutting-edge technology depth integration, to achieve the true meaning of intelligent logistics. From the warehouse to the distribution site, from loading and unloading to the transport, each link will be efficiently operated on the automated track, which will bring a better and faster shopping experience for global consumers, and at the same time inject a constant flow of power into the economic development, and open a grand chapter of the new era of logistics.
