Simplifying complexity - JD Logistics' large item warehousing automation settles in Yubei, Chongqing.

On January 26, following the implementation of the 5G smart logistics park at Beijing Asia One,JD.com has fully applied another self-innovated technology in the field of smart logistics—RFID smart warehousing solutions at the automated large goods warehouse in Yubei, Chongqing.Next, this technology will be replicated and promoted in hundreds of large goods warehouses, including Asia One. This technology has high replicability and will be fully opened and shared with brand manufacturers in the home appliance and furniture sectors, applied to new warehouse planning and old warehouse transformation, providing a path for digital intelligence upgrades in the large goods logistics field.



This means that under the guidance of the concept of 'simplifying complexity,' JD Logistics Technology has achieved a new breakthrough in the automation of large goods warehousing. Following Chongqing, this solution is being preliminarily implemented in the automated large goods warehouse in Ningbo and has begun participating in operational support for the New Year goods festival promotion.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact automatic identification technology that replaces traditional product barcodes with RFID electronic tags. Based on RFID's batch and radio frequency non-line-of-sight reading capabilities, it enables batch inventory checks and verifications, applicable in various complex environments. JD Logistics fully explores the application scenarios of RFID to create a richer, more practical, and newly upgraded intelligent brain, namely the large goods WMS system, which fully leverages this technology's advantages in warehousing through self-developed algorithm engines and engineering.It is predicted that the RFID smart warehousing solution will increase inventory check efficiency by more than ten times, verification efficiency by five times, and overall warehouse operational efficiency will grow by 300%.



For a long time, large items such as refrigerators and color TVs have been challenging due to their large size, heavy weight, diverse packaging specifications, low automation levels, and time-consuming storage processes with high error rates in product entry and exit, posing significant challenges to warehousing and transportation.JD Logistics is the first to introduce RFID technology into supply chain logistics scenarios, which not only greatly reduces the burden on staff and improves efficiency but also contributes to the stability and upgrading of the New Year goods supply chain.It is worth mentioning that using new technology allows for batch inventory checks, with efficiency over ten times that of traditional methods, helping staff say goodbye to the physically demanding and repetitive task of checking items one by one; a freight driver remarked that"The efficiency of warehouse verification for outbound goods has also improved significantly; it used to be that trucks waited for goods, now it's goods waiting for trucks—it's a big change."
The implementation of RFID smart warehousing solutions provides an opportunity for transformation and upgrading in the supply chain. Currently coinciding with the New Year goods festival and facing rare cold wave weather with multiple peaks in air conditioning outbound volume, along with pandemic prevention needs leading more families to choose to celebrate at home, there has been a wave of 'home appliance upgrades,' resulting in increased outbound volumes for refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, home textiles, and bathroom products.

The operation of the automated large goods warehouse in Yubei, Chongqing has achieved an efficiency revolution in the supply chain logistics field and provided significant support for stable operations during the New Year goods festival promotion. At the same time, as this technology is implemented in more warehouses, it will help partners reduce costs and increase efficiency while enhancing deeper value. For consumers, the intelligent upgrade of JD Logistics' large goods warehouses will greatly enhance people's purchasing experience for large items.
