Case Analysis of the Application of Internet of Things in the Construction of Integrated Logistics Park

With the increasing level of information technology in the world, the logistics industry, known as the “third source of profit”, has entered a new stage of development. The logistics park is an important node in the entire logistics industry chain. Taking China as an example, from the beginning of the construction of logistics park in Shenzhen in 1998 to 2009, during the past 10 years, it experienced two big waves of planning and construction. As of 2009, the number of logistics parks in China has increased to 475, of which, The park under construction is 144% and 237%. These data indicate that the park will enter a large-scale informatization construction in the next stage of construction and development. At the same time, the "Internet of Things" as the third wave of the world's information industry after the computer, Internet and mobile communication network has also entered the initial stage of development, and has a high-speed development momentum from the beginning, which is bound to logistics. The information construction of the park, especially the integrated logistics park, has greatly promoted.

(1) Informatization characteristics

According to the characteristics of China's comprehensive logistics park planning, the integrated logistics park has become a vital business process concentration point in the entire logistics industry chain. The functions basically include transportation, storage, packaging, loading and unloading, circulation processing, Distribution and so on, fully embodies the characteristics of its comprehensive and intensive. Therefore, a large number of logistics enterprises with various characteristics are concentrated. The purpose is to unify, specialize and scale these logistics businesses, realize the standardized operation of the entire logistics industry, and ultimately improve the economic benefits of the logistics industry.

The intensive characteristics of the integrated logistics park are mainly reflected in the introduction of a large number of logistics enterprises, centralized operation, construction and sharing of a large number of public facilities, such as warehouse centers, transportation management centers, distribution centers, etc., saving logistics operation costs and promoting various enterprises. Communication and cooperation. At the same time, it is equipped with service facilities related to its business. At the same time, it is well connected to the region or within the city itself and to economic exchanges with the outside world.

However, no matter how the integrated logistics park is planned and constructed, as long as these characteristics exist, it will be accompanied by the generation, transmission and processing of a large amount of information. Logistics is not only the transfer of goods, but also the transmission of information. Therefore, the construction of information technology must be carried out in parallel with it. Only in this way can the park be operated well and the advantages of the park can be fully utilized. Therefore, the informatization characteristics of the integrated logistics park are mainly reflected in the comprehensive and intensive aspects.

(II) Analysis of information needs

According to the above analysis and the basic level of logistics informationization, the informationization of integrated logistics parks is mainly reflected in the following three levels:

1. In the aspect of information collection and transmission, in the integration of internal resources and organization of the logistics park and the operation and management of business processes, the information collection, transmission and exchange are fast, accurate, standardized and low-cost.

2. In the process of connecting external information in the park, in the process of exchanging information outside the park and interfacing with the information system of the application layer (mainly customers), it is possible to build and form an information platform based on the entire supply chain. Take into account the internal operation.

3. In the field of information processing, it is possible to form an effective theoretical basis for the development and optimization of future decision-making through the mining, processing and analysis of a large amount of information data, and provide favorable support and assistance.

These three levels of demand are also the key to the information needs of the integrated logistics park, which fully reflects the important role of this type of park in the entire logistics industry chain, and also shows that the integrated logistics park is informatized throughout the logistics industry. The core position is to use the construction of integrated logistics park information to achieve higher-level goals such as information standardization and intelligence.

(1) Characteristics of the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (Theinternetofthings) is believed to bring a revolutionary revolution to the future information industry, and more and more people are paying attention to it. It has also been introduced into various industries in large numbers, while conducting a lot of research. It is also fully applied. However, the standardized definition of it has not been explicitly proposed so far. However, it can be roughly considered that the professional name of the Internet of Things can be CPS (Physical Device Networking System), which focuses on theory and technical connotation. It refers to an embedded system that uses computer technology to monitor and control the behavior of physical devices. The Internet of Things is a popular name for CPS, with a focus on practical applications of life.

The Internet of Things is actually through various types of information collection devices, through wired or wireless transmission systems and multi-level information processing systems, to achieve operative behaviors such as tracking, monitoring and management of physical items, so that the entire world Linked up, simply think of the physical performance of the traditional virtual Internet. According to the current research on the Internet of Things, no matter how to define the Internet of Things, there is a common feature that the Internet of Things is a comprehensive application of various technologies, reflecting a certain degree of intensive and comprehensive. The specific characteristics of the IoT basic architecture diagram can be seen below.

(II) The main key technologies of the Internet of Things The Internet of Things mainly includes the following key technologies:

1. Information collection: electronic barcode technology, RFID technology, sensor technology, video recognition technology, GIS, GPS, etc.

2. Information transmission: wired network technology (fiber technology), wireless network technology (Wi-Fi, UWB, ZigBee technology).

3. Information processing: Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Cloud Computing (CloudCompuTIng), Data Mining (DM), etc.

(I) Analysis of the similarity between the Internet of Things and the integrated logistics park The biggest similarity between the Internet of Things and the integrated logistics park is that they are comprehensive and intensive. From the three levels of comprehensive logistics park informationization, in order to achieve the set goals, it is necessary to coordinate and utilize various types of information technology as a basis for support, and the Internet of Things is the integration of various information technologies. Apply together to optimize and control the physical system. Therefore, the Internet of Things and its technology have a good role in promoting the informationization of integrated logistics parks.

(II) The integration of the Internet of Things and the integrated logistics park is based on the three levels of functional demand analysis of the integrated logistics park, and in accordance with the three hierarchical structures (sensing layer-network layer-application layer) that are now generally accepted and accepted by the Internet of Things. Exploratoryly, the application architecture diagram of the Internet of Things in the integrated logistics park is given, as shown in Figure 2. And specifically analyze how to integrate the Internet of Things into the entire park, play a role, and enhance the level of information technology in the park.

1. Integrate and utilize internal resources to comprehensively manage business flow operations.

(1) The park provides various resources for the normal operation of a large number of logistics enterprises, from the hardware and software required for specific logistics services such as warehousing, transportation, vehicle management, distribution processing and distribution, to the infrastructure and management required for the operation of the park itself. Institutions, service departments, etc. A large amount of information needs to be collected, transmitted and processed. At this time, the technologies of the IoT application layer work together to provide guarantee for the business processes of each enterprise.

(2) Between the enterprise, the relevant service organization department and the park management center, the information transmission network may be established, or a network for renting an existing large communication service provider may be introduced, from the establishment of the wired network to the wireless network. Coverage, all-round guarantees the internal information transmission of the park, and also ensures the information transmission with the outside world, providing timely and efficient services for various enterprises and customers.

2. Build a supply chain-based information service platform. As an important node in the supply chain, logistics parks need not only real-time collection and transmission, but also processing and analysis. This requires an efficient and centralized control processing center. Therefore, building a public information platform is the modern logistics park informationization. The steps that must be completed. The subsystems included in this information platform, such as logistics operation integration systems, include various types of logistics operations, such as warehouse inventory systems, vehicle transportation management scheduling systems, distribution business systems, and circulation processing management systems. In addition, logistics supporting service systems, such as banks, customs, taxation, security, and information value-added service systems such as cargo monitoring and vehicle tracking. Finally, it is the interactive connection system between users and enterprises, including logistics e-commerce system, data collection and terminal systems, logistics settlement payment system.

3. Improve the informationization level of integrated logistics parks, assist in the formulation of decision-making and promote the development of the industry. The establishment of a cloud computing center not only simply stores and processes a large amount of information data, but also cooperates with intelligent data mining technology to extract and summarize effective knowledge theory, providing a large number of reliable for the decision-making and development of the logistics industry. Data and theoretical support. At present, some developed countries in Europe and the United States have begun to carry out intelligent research on the park, and truly integrate the Internet of Things technology and intelligent embedded technology into the park information construction. Of course, in order to save costs, when the park is informatized, you can rent a local cloud computing center according to the actual situation in the local area, or join a neighboring park to jointly build a computing center.

After experiencing a large-scale planning and construction phase, China's comprehensive logistics park has begun to enter an important stage of informatization construction. At this time, the emergence of Internet of Things technology has provided new ideas and directions for the integrated logistics park informationization.
