Fast forward previously completed 10 million yuan in Angel Round of financing in August 2014; in October 2015 completed 30 million rounds of A round of financing.
Express Warehouse CEO Yang Wei told Yiouou that after this round of financing, the funds will be mainly used for company development: 1. Enhancing research and development capabilities in terms of hardware and software; 2. Building a production center; 3. Expanding business models (previously tried On behalf of operations, financial leasing and other models, the effect is good, and will continue to explore).
Fast Warehouse was established in March 2014 and specializes in order fulfillment systems in warehouses. The company currently has more than 100 R&D teams, accounting for 80% of the total, mainly from Fuller, Suning, Jingdong, and Zhizhi.
According to Yang Wei, as of now, the KBS has sold more than 400 robots, and it has deployed hundreds of robots in a single warehouse of Vipshop. Customers include third-party logistics companies, supply chain companies, express delivery companies, electricity suppliers, retailers, etc., with an average throughput of about 3,000 pieces per hour.
The automated order fulfillment system developed by Kuangcang Technology is based on the organic combination of automatic transport robots and scheduling software and resource management software, and has continuous learning ability and performance optimization capability. In practical applications, it has the following characteristics: first, high flexibility and strong adaptability; secondly, low threshold for system initiation; and third, strong ability of autonomous decision-making.
According to the analysis of the fast-moving data, the effect of sorters processing orders in traditional warehouses is approximately 150 cells/day. After using the fast-warehouse intelligent storage robot, the robot transports the shelves to the operator and avoids the personnel in the shelf area. The picking time greatly improves the picking efficiency, and the order processing capacity can be increased to 350 singles/day. Coupled with the robot can continue to run -7 * 24 hours of continuous work, the robot's workload is equivalent to 3-4 times, and the error rate is only 0.5%, far lower than the traditional manual operations.
In this interview, Yang Wei revealed that the quick warehouse is not based on the surface requirements of customers to develop solutions, but to tap the deep needs of customers, the use of small modular, so that the system is more flexible. At the same time, they are also making positions in the fast position, but not in the name of fast positions, but as a franchisee of the best, why do they do? Yang Wei said: “In the end I did not want to earn money for this operation. I still sold it. Equipment, solutions, or information services throughout the warehouse."
Yang Wei believes that the main advantage of fast positions is reflected in technological R&D and industry accumulation. Technology R&D is a long chain, which requires comprehensive development and multi-sectoral collaboration. Fast warehouse has been polished in the industry for 3 years and accumulated certain experience. At the same time, the composition of the shareholders who take advantage of fast positions also occupies certain advantages. The rookie represents the e-commerce platform. , Best Logistics represents the supply chain, mainly the 3PL Alliance, and has many positions in the country, and Softbank, an investment company, knows more about the industry and can provide support in terms of capital and industry.
Yang Wei feels that artificial intelligence has several parts in the warehouse operation:
The first one can do a solution that many people have no way to do, because the machine's data processing capability is far greater than the human brain, at least structured data processing ability is strong;
The second one can help us do a lot of repetitive labor and can change people's operations;
The third can do a lot of recommendations for warehouse operations in a timely manner, such as pre-packaged products, abnormal sales changes, order changes based on seasonal changes, and so on.
The development of artificial intelligence in the field of logistics has already begun to show significant results, especially in the aspect of information flow. Later, under the guidance of informationization, dataization, and industry standardization, the development of artificial intelligence in the field of logistics will be “a promising one†and the value will increase. The bigger the company, Yang Wei said: “In this respect, quantitative changes and qualitative changes are carried out at the same time. It will take a long time for the industry to undergo a qualitative change. Although smart storage has experienced the budding period of previous years and the germination period from 2016 to 2017, For the future, opportunities and challenges are still coexisting, and there is ample room for market development.
For the same reason today, WMS is already an infrastructure within the warehouse. Like the shelves and warehouses, it is already an infrastructure. In the next five years, Kuangcang hopes that the warehouse robots will become the infrastructure for picking bins. As long as the picking bins are used, this will be the warehouse robots. The entire system scheduling of the warehouse robots is highly intelligent and highly complex. Based on this feature, you can pull around, up and down.
The quick investment in the acquisition of rookie is also considered in this respect. The rookie has rich resources in e-commerce and small and medium-sized 3PLs, which can provide some support for its development. At the same time, the two sides also perform some depth in business. The cooperation, Yang Wei revealed that at the end of April there will be a project on the line, will be officially released in mid-May, the future will gradually access rookie WMS and WMS of some small and medium customers.
The future of the market is bright, but the road is tortuous. As Yang Wei mentioned in the interview, “Opportunities and challenges coexist,†and it will be necessary for companies to work together to nurture the market. The situation of "killing each other" is also a manifestation of the maximization of benefits, but everything is possible, and we look forward to the future development of intelligent storage. Technology changes logistics.
