1. Introduction to the Project

1.1 Project background

1.1.1 Product introduction

In the process of accelerating e-commerce logistics, sorting is a very important link. The traditional sorting method for express delivery generally involves mixing large and small items on a conveyor belt for sorting. The “intelligent sorting cabinet for express delivery” implements the separation of large and small goods to avoid damage to small goods caused by the mixing of large and small items, while reducing problems such as small goods getting stuck in the conveyor belt. At the same time, this intelligent device does not require manual memory of the destination station, achieving “brainless” sorting operations and greatly improving sorting efficiency. During the process of sorting personnel delivering parcels, the equipment will also provide prompts by lighting up, greatly reducing the rate of parcel mis-classification caused by mis-operation.

This product is located in Shuangliao City and aims to build an efficient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly logistics and express distribution center. Through the combination of manual and intelligent system technology, it realizes the distribution and transportation of local express packages and the delivery of rural agricultural e-commerce packages, providing various logistics enterprises with automated, information-based, and personalized professional warehousing services.

1.1.2 Market prospect

(1) The current development status of the automatic sorting industry

2023 is both a year full of opportunities and a year facing challenges for China’s intelligent logistics equipment market. With this, the logistics equipment industry has also entered a new stage of development. According to statistics, the scale of China’s intelligent logistics equipment market reached 100.39 billion yuan in 2023, an increase of about 21% compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the complex macroeconomic environment has had multiple impacts on the automatic sorting market, posing new challenges for the development of enterprises. According to data, the market size of automatic sorting equipment in China reached approximately 32 billion yuan in 2023, with an annual growth rate of 10.3%.

The demand for automatic sorting equipment for express delivery is closely related to the quantity of express packages in China, as well as the amount of online shopping by consumers. From the perspective of consumer habits, there is still room for improvement in the penetration rate of Chinese e-commerce. According to statistics from the State Post Bureau, the cumulative volume of postal delivery services in China’s postal industry reached 162.48 billion in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 16.8%. Among them, the total volume of express delivery services (excluding postal group parcel services) reached 132.07 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.4%. The cumulative revenue of express delivery business reached 1207.40 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.3%. The continuous growth in the number of express packages indicates that the development potential of automatic sorting equipment in the express delivery industry is still enormous.

As of the first half of 2023, the number of self-operated hub transfer centers in Zhongtong, Yuantong, Yunda, and Shentong is 87, 70, 75, and 70, respectively. Yunda’s hub transfer center has a direct operation rate of 100%, while Zhongtong’s rate is 91%. Yuantong and Shentong have already achieved a high degree of direct operation. After the self operation of the transfer center, the express headquarters, based on its own financial advantages and the need to reduce operating costs, has a strong desire for automation transformation of the transfer center to effectively improve its operational efficiency.

Overall, the automatic sorting industry has entered a cyclical adjustment period after experiencing rapid development. Industry enterprises are beginning to focus on lean production and management, honing their internal skills, and seeking their own unique tracks for differentiated development, in order to prepare for the next growth cycle.

(2) Prospect analysis of the automatic sorting industry

In the past two years, the field of conveying and sorting has undergone significant changes and upgrades, and the trend of transformation is very obvious. With the rise of new economic models such as e-commerce and new retail, customers’ expectations for logistics services are constantly increasing, and logistics services are gradually moving towards intelligence and intelligence. The market demand for high efficiency, flexibility, and reliability will further increase. The demand characteristics of the conveying and sorting industry can be summarized as follows:

Due to the significant differences in demand for automatic sorting equipment among different industries, future automatic sorting systems will develop towards more detailed directions based on customer needs and changes in business models. This includes two categories of small and large item sorting, and is developing towards two directions: automated sorting systems dominated by traditional conveyor sorting equipment and flexible sorting systems dominated by intelligent AGVs and robotic equipment.

With the decline of the demographic dividend and the increase in labor costs, various industries are gradually transitioning towards unmanned operations. The continuous advancement of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, wireless communication, big data cloud platforms, humanoid simulation, sensing technology, micro control technology, and 5G has given rise to the emergence of black light factories and unmanned warehouses. Breakthroughs in technologies such as automatic loading and unloading, multi piece separation, bagging and changing bags, automatic recognition of six sided high-speed item information, and supercapacitors, combined with low power consumption and maintenance free technology, have led to the overall development of unmanned warehouse distribution centers/sorting centers, including automatic sorting systems.

The continuous advancement of machine vision recognition, information technology, and deep learning technology has made it possible to intelligently and efficiently collect logistics system data, thereby achieving high-speed intelligent sorting. The emergence of cloud platform has promoted the development of big data, provided a foundation for “Internet+”, “smart+” and deep machine learning, significantly improved the operating efficiency of equipment, and laid a foundation for intelligent equipment. At the same time, the development of the Internet of Things and 5G technology has enabled remote monitoring and maintenance of logistics equipment systems, significantly improving the availability, utilization, and operational efficiency of automatic conveyor sorting systems.

After years of growth, especially after several express delivery companies went public in 2016, the automatic sorting industry has rapidly undergone automation upgrading, and the automatic sorting system equipment has accumulated a considerable stock market. According to preliminary statistics, the inventory of domestic cross belt sorting equipment has exceeded 4000 sets, some of which have exceeded their warranty period. With the continuous expansion of business scale, the demand for automatic sorting technology by express delivery companies has undergone significant changes since 2022, with an increase in the number of after-sales maintenance, equipment upgrades, relocation, and renovation projects. In 2023, the demand for aftermarket services will further increase, providing customers with after-sales service guarantees and creating new profit growth points through the aftermarket. The market prospect is very broad. In February, 2022, Qingpu Roundtable Conference was initiated, with the participation of major domestic manufacturers of automatic sorting equipment. Shanghai Duliangxing Equipment Installation and Maintenance Co., Ltd. was established, focusing on the post market service field and providing support for the development of the automatic sorting industry chain. At the same time, Qingpu Roundtable Conference cooperated with SGS to conduct group standard certification for the automatic sorting industry, and Jinfeng Group became the first enterprise to obtain SGS group standard certification qualification.

After nearly 7 years of rapid development, the express delivery industry has established a complete network of large-scale distribution centers with strong transit and distribution capabilities. However, the operational efficiency of end of pipe branches has become the main bottleneck for the “last kilometer” of express delivery services. With the increasing demand of consumers for the timeliness of express delivery, express delivery companies will also actively improve the automation level of their end outlets to comprehensively enhance their service level and overall competitiveness. In addition, starting from 2022, mature logistics automation technology will gradually “sink” to county, township, and even village level express delivery outlets with the promotion of the strategy of “express delivery to villages”, realizing the automation of branch operations and meeting the logistics and supply chain needs of rural areas.

With the rapid development of logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturing, the market prospect of the automatic sorting industry is very broad. With the booming development of global e-commerce, online shopping has become a part of people’s daily lives, which directly drives the demand for efficient and accurate automatic sorting systems. These systems are capable of handling massive orders, ensuring that goods can be quickly and accurately delivered to consumers. In addition, with the automation and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, automatic sorting technology is playing an increasingly important role on the production line. It not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces labor costs and error rates. In this context, the automatic sorting industry is facing unprecedented development opportunities. It is expected that in the next few years, with the continuous progress of technology and the expansion of application fields, the industry will present a more prosperous scene.
