Beijing, China, May 26, 2020 - At the beginning of 2020, China was hit with a pause button. But seemingly behind all the stagnation, there is an industry is more busy than ever, he continues to transport medical equipment, fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the country to the areas and families in need, and strive to build a smart and efficient new "artery", transporting nutrients to every corner of the city. It is our protagonist today - logistics industry.
Beijing, China, May 26, 2020 - At the beginning of 2020, China was hit with a pause button. But seemingly behind all the stagnation, there is an industry is more busy than ever, he continues to transport medical equipment, fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the country to the areas and families in need, and strive to build a smart and efficient new "artery", transporting nutrients to every corner of the city. It is our protagonist today - logistics industry.
After nearly ten years of rapid development, China's logistics industry has already developed from an emerging market to the world's largest market, creating a great "Chinese miracle". Before the product is delivered to the customer, the goods have gone through multiple links such as raw material warehousing, finished product warehousing and distribution, and some goods even need special storage methods such as cold storage, which has spawned a broad logistics equipment market.

Since its establishment in 1985, Wuxi Zhongding Integrated Technology Co., LTD. (Zhongding Integrated) has always focused on the field of logistics equipment integration. With more than 30 years of efforts, Zhongding Integration has grown into a leading logistics equipment supplier and system integrator in China, with services covering more than 40 fields and more than 700 projects completed, and has achieved domestic leadership in pharmaceutical, cold chain, new energy, home building materials, food and other subsectors.
Today, not satisfied with past achievements, Zhongding Integration is working with Schneider Electric to jointly empower the intelligent upgrade of logistics systems, help end users improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and save costs, in order to further enhance their brand influence and move toward the goal of world-class.
Face the challenge and enable the intelligent upgrade of logistics system
The logistics system is to the factory, like the artery is to the human body - it is forward to the procurement of raw materials, the middle to the production line manufacturing, backward to the distribution of finished products, at any time to the production line to transport the raw materials required in the production process, and store the semi-finished products and finished products that have been produced, is to ensure the stable and efficient operation of a factory.
The data show that 2019 is still a year of rapid development in China's logistics equipment integration industry. As of December 2019, the annual number of three-dimensional warehouses has exceeded 800, and the market demand growth rate has exceeded 20%.
When planning logistics system solutions for various downstream industries, Zhongding Integration gradually realized some common pain points of end users: First, user needs are increasingly personalized, the production beat is accelerating, the production line flexibility is gradually enhanced, and the logistics system supporting production is put forward higher requirements; Second, land and labor costs continue to rise, while the volume and energy consumption of three-dimensional warehouses are also increasing, it is necessary to further reduce energy consumption and comprehensive operating costs; Third, there is still a need for product traceability in the pharmaceutical and food industry, all kinds of pharmaceuticals and food have corresponding shelf life, how to ensure that the products in the warehouse do not expire, do not deteriorate, has become a challenge to be solved.
In this case, optimizing the delivery cost to provide cost-effective intelligent logistics equipment system, and using digital management means to help users reduce comprehensive operating costs, has become the only way for Zhongding integration to face the future.
Logistics equipment is closely related to the downstream industry, covering almost all industrial manufacturing fields, and different industries also have differentiated requirements for logistics equipment. For example, customer orders in the pharmaceutical industry are complex and there are many kinds of drugs, so the warehouse selection mode plays a key role in the entire logistics distribution center; The cold chain industry is the most used low-temperature automated warehouse, cold storage than ordinary room temperature storage increased refrigeration and insulation units, so space utilization and equipment layout will be adjusted accordingly; Due to factors such as the improvement of battery quality requirements in the new energy industry, supply chain security, which was originally very important, has been mentioned in an extremely important position...
In order to meet the individual needs of users, Zhongding integration not only in each project and the user's technology, process, production personnel in-depth communication, fully understand their requirements, but also need a partner who also has rich experience in various segments of the industry.
As a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy efficiency management and automation, Schneider Electric not only has mature solutions in the field of automation, digitalization and green intelligent manufacturing, but also has accumulated rich practical experience in the field of logistics, so it has become an excellent partner in the digital transformation of Zhongding integration.
