On the platform of the Jingdong Wuhan Asia I Robot Sorting Center, 300 sorting robots independently developed by JD.com are picking up orders, scanning codes, transportation, and delivery.

Rely on intelligent judgment to complete the delivery of goods How do these sorting robots operate? The author visited them.
The author saw at the Jingdong Wuhan Asia One Sorting Center that sorting machines were busy on the working platform, picking up goods, scanning codes, transporting, and loading goods. The whole process was smooth and smooth, busy and not chaotic, encountered line crossings, etc. In case of situation, it can also automatically queue, automatic cornering and automatic charging.

The personnel at the sorting center only need to place the goods surface on the robot's tray unidirectionally. After the robot scans, it will Automatic departure, find the corresponding delivery entrance, the successful delivery of the goods.
In the process of marching, the robot mainly selects the forward route by recognizing the two-dimensional code in the venue. It can also receive the position information of other robots in real time, determine the obstacles ahead in real time, and then make instructions for turning or stopping waiting. In order to avoid accidents such as collisions during the process of traveling, it is ensured that all the robots performing the task can find the corresponding delivery portals safely and efficiently, and accurately deliver the goods. If they are full of cargo, they can also be automatically queued. After that, the goods will fall into the bulk bag below. After the system detects the full bag, it will generate the box number and send it to the destination.
According to the person in charge of the Jingdong Wuhan Asia No. 1 sorting center, the intelligent sorting robot system named 'The Wolves' is currently in trial operation. During formal operation, it will open 12 outsourcing ports and 300 robots.

So that the number of cargo handling is also reduced, so that cargo security is more secure.
Compared with traditional crawler sorting, intelligent sorting robots are not only flexible and efficient, but also more adaptable and less demanding on the site. The three-dimensional platform can be expanded or reduced as needed, and the number of robots can also be Flexible increase and decrease according to site conditions.
In terms of maintenance, the intelligent sorting robot is easier to maintain in the later stage. After the traditional sorting line fails, the entire production line is often shut down. However, the intelligent sorting system only needs to take away the single robot that has failed, and will not affect it. The normal operation of other robots, from the failure to the recovery of production as long as 20 seconds.
