The Customer
China Post is a leading logistics enterprise in China, known for its extensive delivery network and capacity to handle massive volumes of parcels daily. To maintain its competitive edge and support the rapid growth of e-commerce and express logistics, China Post sought innovative, scalable solutions to boost productivity and automation in its processing centers.
The Challenge
- The growing volume of parcels presented a significant challenge in terms of space, speed, and efficiency in sorting operations.
- High labor costs and reliance on manual processes limited scalability and efficiency.
- Intense logistics pressure during shopping festivals such as 618 and Double 11 required the ability to handle extreme peak demand efficiently.
- The need for a unified system that could simultaneously manage large and small parcels effectively.
Our Solution
Geek+ collaborated with China Post to design and implement a smart sorting system at the Wuhan Processing Center. Key elements of the solution included:
