I think when humans became extinct.

when can couriers be produced? Since 21, the online shopping market has developed rapidly, and the courier company has become a key link to the success of the transaction. The development of Taobao also drives the development of the express delivery industry. With the coming of various e-commerce festivals, we can often hear where the express delivery warehouse is out of stock ... < P > Now our e-commerce network is more developed, and many purchases and sales are transferred from offline to online, and physical stores are gradually declining. Offline services are the mainstay. According to this development trend, the express delivery network in our country will only develop more and more, and there will be more and more couriers ... Perhaps it is the development of these technologies that has also caused the courier's worry about whether it will be replaced ...

Category I: replacing the black technology delivered by the courier-drone delivery

During the period from February 4 to 6, 215, users in specific areas in Beijing, Guangzhou and Guangzhou will have the opportunity to experience this service after placing an order on the designated page of Taobao, and 45 people will be able to experience drone delivery.

The concept of unmanned aerial vehicles delivering express delivery is really not new. JD.COM and SF in China have completed similar attempts. But in this respect, Amazon is definitely the earliest one. As early as 213, Amazon announced that it was preparing to engage in a big project-using drones to send express delivery. You know, most people didn't know what a drone was at that time.

two years later, Amazon released a video on Youtube: a drone automatically picks up goods from Amazon warehouse, obtains destination information through the QR code on the goods, and automatically finds its way to the destination and lands. In those days, this was simply black technology.

Of course, there are still some problems in the delivery of drones, such as safety, air navigation permission, personal privacy, goods acceptance, etc. Especially recently, in the afternoon of April 21st, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport was interfered by four "black flying" drones, resulting in 58 flights being diverted to Xi 'an, Chongqing, Guiyang and Mianyang airports, and four planes returning, with over 1, passengers.

Therefore, we don't need to think too much about the replacement of couriers by drones ...

Category II: sorting robots that replace couriers

It's also the latest news. In the video, a small video in the express warehouse of Shentong Express Company became popular, in which robots are shuttling back and forth. These robots take the package from the workers, send it to the scanning equipment, and then prepare it for shipment.

This small robot can sort up to 2, packages every day. Because it is equipped with an automatic charging module, it can be used 7x24 hours a day. A spokesman for Shentong said that this not only helped the company cut labor costs, but also improved efficiency by 3% and maximized sorting accuracy.

Compared with manual sorting, it really improves the sorting speed.

The popularity of these robots is actually speeding up the delivery efficiency of couriers. There are fewer complaints and fewer penalties, which is also a kind of welfare to a certain extent ...

Of course, the use, cooperation and maintenance of these robots need people to maintain them. Perhaps some couriers have already considered the transformation to do this work ...

But the express delivery industry has always been.
