The impact of blockchain on future logistics
in short, blockchain is a community-based technology, which can make value exchange more secure. Blockchain is their name
therefore, chain operation has a huge impact on the people, creating the greatest value for the enterprise and bringing more convenience to the people strong>
if you look at the problem with the thinking of 30 years ago, you will think that others are crazy, but in fact you are out of date
the concept of blockchain can be traced back to the end of 2008. In the forum, a mysterious personage named "Nakamoto Tsung" published a paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" and proposed the concept of blockchain for the first time
on January 3, 2009, the first block of the blockchain was born, which is called the "Founding block"
almost with the birth of blockchain technology, bitcoin became the first thing to play its role. In the following years, bitcoin graally swept the world. In 2017, its crazy market made blockchain technology known to all
the idea of blockchain first appeared in the famous bitcoin open source project. In the process of its birth and development, bitcoin project draws on the technical achievements from digital currency, cryptography, game theory, distributed system, cybernetics and other fields. It can be said that bitcoin project is good at all. As its core supporting structure, blockchain technology is a remarkable innovation achievement
blockchain is a distributed database system with different nodes, which is an open ledger system<
three characteristics of blockchain
compared with the traditional centralized scheme, blockchain technology mainly has the following three characteristics:
the core idea of blockchain is decentralization
in the blockchain system, the rights and obligations between any node are equal, and all nodes have the ability to vote with computing power, Thus, the result recognized by more than half of the nodes is guaranteed. Even under serious hacker attacks, as long as the number of nodes controlled by hackers does not exceed half of the total number of nodes in the world, the system can still operate normally and the data will not be tampered with
block chain's biggest subversive is the establishment of credit
the collective maintenance of blockchain can rece the cost
in the centralized network system, the maintenance and operation of the system depend on the operation and operation of platforms such as data center, and the cost cannot be omitted. Anyone can participate in the nodes of the blockchain. Each node can verify the correctness of the results of other nodes' records while participating in the records, which improves the maintenance efficiency and reces the cost
in a word, blockchain touches money, trust and power, which are the fundamental basis for human survival< Its development has gone through three stages
1. Brewing period: from 2009 to 2012, bitcoin and its instrial ecology are the main economic forms
2. Embryonic period: from 2012 to 2015, with bitcoin entering the public view, new wallet payment and remittance companies appeared, and blockchain economy spread to the financial field. The underlying technology of blockchain is constantly innovated. Blockchain technology is separated from bitcoin system
3. Development period: in 2016, we began to explore instry applications, and a large number of blockchain start-ups appeared. The popularity of ICO in 2017 has given blockchain unprecedented attention
"blockchain 2.0 era" is coming
the application service layer is the driving force for the sustainable development of blockchain, which is divided into three stages of application: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0
programmable currency: blockchain 1.0 application
programmable currency is the digital currency represented by bitcoin, but it is not the legal tender of any country or region, and there is no government authority to provide guarantee for it
programmable Finance: blockchain 2.0 application& quot; Smart contract& quot; Using program algorithm to replace the concept of contract execution. This enables blockchain to expand from the original monetary system to the registration and transfer of equity, creditor's rights and property rights, the transaction and execution of securities and financial contracts, and even the financial fields of gambling and anti-counterfeiting
programmable Society: blockchain 3.0 application
blockchain is the core of value Internet, which can confirm, measure and store the property rights of information and bytes representing value in each Internet. It can not only record the transactions of the financial instry, but also record almost anything valuable that can be expressed in the form of code. Its application can be extended to any field with demand, and then to the whole society
at present, the application of blockchain has begun to surpass bitcoin (blockchain 1.0), enter the era of blockchain 1.5, and transition to the financial field (blockchain 2.0)
in the next 3-5 years, blockchain may go beyond the financial field and enter the field of social notarization and intelligence (blockchain 3.0), including identity authentication, notarization, arbitration, audit, domain name, logistics, medical care, mail, visa, voting and other fields. Its application scope will be expanded to the whole society, and blockchain technology is likely to become a new technology& quot; All things are connected& quot; It's the lowest level protocol
at present, blockchain technology has been recognized by the world, and its development has become an inevitable trend. Accompanied by more people's attention, "in the next 30 years, new technologies will be integrated into all aspects of traditional instries, and human society will turn upside down. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, all of us will be a part of this great change."
this is the current situation. Blockchain has given the post-90s an opportunity. However, if you want to control blockchain technology without being affected by negative factors, the most important thing is to have a clear understanding of it, whether it is regulators, researchers, speculators or bystanders
it's time to devote more energy to blockchain technology
in China, the average annual salary of blockchain positions has reached more than 300000, and that of some enterprises has reached more than 1 million. The monthly salary of blockchain instry graates in Beijing, Shanghai and other places has exceeded 20K! If the post-90s seize the bonus of the times, they may become the next Alibaba in the future! If you miss it, you may regret it for ten years.
in the express logistics instry, there are blockchain companies in China, such as Walton chain
last year, Walton chain and cargo bag (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd. reached a strategic cooperation to help them improve their logistics solutions through the "RFID + blockchain" technical solution of Walton chain, and link the data of cargo bag in all aspects of its logistics turnover, such as the layout of the read-write system of key nodes such as in and out of warehouse, receiving and taking goods, when the objects pass any link, All the data can be read by RFID reader, and the corresponding behavior can be transformed into data, which can be uploaded to the blockchain. Users can trace the whole process of logistics with one click
the four business scenarios that can be implemented in the real environment are suitable for the application of blockchain technology
Scene 1: Express insurance
around the insurance scene, express companies carry out commodity transportation, insurance companies provide commodity insurance, merchants provide commodity sales, sellers purchase insurance services, and the government carries out instry supervision
then, what should be recorded on the blockchain? There are several key points, such as the logistics details, accounts, identities, claims and other reference data of commodities are recorded on the blockchain
insurance is the concept of contract. When the customer signs for the package normally, the account claims will be automatically triggered, the contract will end normally, and the premium will be automatically cleared. If there is a problem or lost part, the insurance company's claim process will be triggered
Scene 2: public express
for public welfare activities, such as "one cent" activities, one cent of the cost of each public parcel is donated to the account of public welfare organizations. In this scenario, the express company still undertakes the transportation of goods, the public welfare organizations provide the implementation of public welfare activities, and the poverty alleviation businesses provide the sales of public welfare poverty alleviation goods
then what is recorded in the blockchain is the logistics details of the goods. After the package is signed, it will be recorded on the blockchain and automatically trigger the transfer from the public welfare account of the logistics company to the account of the public welfare organization. When the public welfare activities are over, the whole process is open and transparent, avoiding the public's distrust of social public welfare activities
Scene 3: share the instry blacklist
the blacklist of express delivery practitioners is still dominated by offline mode at present. We hope that through the blockchain technology, each company can record the blacklist of employees on the blockchain, and other companies can also query, and the data can not be modified, and can be traced back to the information such as which company this person did what kind of inappropriate behavior
Scene 4: Supervision of security incidents in postal delivery channels
many express companies will install security inspection machines, and the government also wants to know whether each logistics company has any potential transportation security incidents. Through the mode of Distributed Accounting, each express company can record the effective information of the security event on the blockchain when there is a security event, so that the regulatory authorities can monitor in real time and can not tamper with it
the contents of this article do not constitute any investment suggestions. There are risks in the market and investment should be cautious
logistics informatization has been stagnant, in addition to the lack of information technology in the logistics instry itself, the most important thing is that the information data is inaccurate, untrue and not timely. The application of blockchain technology in data right confirmation should be very smooth. Only the data needs to be linked, the uniqueness of the data can be verified and the data can not be tampered with. The true reflection of data can be most directly reflected in the supply chain finance, which can play a rapid role in promoting business operations such as risk assessment and pledge dection. On the other hand, in logistics, high value-added procts have a strong demand for traceability. Traceability requires authenticity and reliability, and records can not be tampered with. The application of blockchain can be well reflected here.
on June 25, Huawei obtained China's first 5g terminal network access license. ZTE announced that it has won 25 5g commercial contracts in the world. New news has also been heard about the 5g layout of oppo, Xiaomi and Samsung
from June 26 to 28, the "2019 world mobile conference · Shanghai" (hereinafter referred to as MWC Shanghai) with the theme of "Zhilian all things" was held in Shanghai New International Expo Center, focusing on demonstrating the cutting-edge application of 5g technology in the world
as an instry that can generate a lot of data, the development of logistics has been closely linked with science and technology. However, although 5g has officially entered the commercial stage, only part of the head logistics enterprises are actively in the layout, and most logistics enterprises still hold a wait-and-see attitude. The reason is that many enterprises still have doubts: what is 5g? What are the characteristics of 5g? How will 5g change the logistics instry
after reading this article, I believe you will have a clearer understanding of the above issues< First, what is 5g?
1. Definition of 5g:
in short, 5g is the fifth generation mobile communication network, which is hundreds of times faster than 4G. Applied to life, people's most intuitive feeling is: in 5g environment, a high-definition movie can be downloaded in a few seconds
however, the significance of 5g is far more than that. Just as the Internet has been constantly refreshing people's way of life, the application of 5g will once again bring mankind into the next intelligent era
2G and 5g have three characteristics:
5g has many advantages over the current communication network, among which three characteristics have the greatest impact on the future life scene: ultra-low delay, high-speed bandwidth and massive access<
① ultra low delay characteristic
ultra low delay characteristic of data transmission refers to the extremely short response time to instructions. For example, the background is that employees report their work to their superiors:
high time delay: the superiors give instructions in 12 hours
low time delay: the superiors give instructions in 12 seconds
this feature can be used in real-time and reliable communication scenarios (urllc), and its main business includes automatic driving, smart grid, remote control, remote control, remote control, etc Internet (tactile trigger), real-time games and manufacturing process automation
among them, automatic driving and smart grid technology have the most direct impact on the logistics instry
② high speed bandwidth characteristic
the high speed bandwidth characteristic of data transmission means that more data information can be transmitted at high speed at one time. For example, the background is that employees report their work to their superiors. There are 10 reports:
low bandwidth: only one report at a time, and superiors can only reply to one report at a time
high bandwidth: 10 reports at a time, and superiors can reply to 10 reports at a time
this feature can be applied in daily life to realize high-energy communication broadband scenario (embB), Its main business includes ultra high definition video, virtual reality, augmented reality, computer vision and other scenes with high bandwidth requirements
among them, augmented reality and computer vision technology have the most direct impact on the logistics instry
③ massive access characteristic
massive access characteristic of data refers to the information that can be collected and processed by multiple terminals. Examples to help you understand:
access status: the superior can understand and guide the work of two people at the same time
mass access: the superior can understand and guide the work of 200 people at the same time
(the proportion is random examples, no reference)
this feature is applied in life, and can realize mass machine communication scenario (mmtc), 5g's powerful compatibility makes it possible to realize the Internet of things (IOT), which has been proposed for many years
for example, the smart city will completely become a reality, and each element of the whole city can timely and effectively upload data to the control center for processing. Smart home, smart factory and smart logistics all belong to this scenario
the connection between the Internet of things and the new generation of logistics permeates all aspects of logistics, and it is the key technology that 5g brings innovation to logistics<
analysis of the new generation of logistics application scenarios brought by 2G and 5g
as a mobile communication network technology, 5g has not a direct impact on the logistics instry, but indirectly promotes the development of the logistics instry by enabling various technologies< According to different application fields and purposes in logistics instry, 5g enabling scenarios can be roughly divided into four categories: Transportation enabling, warehousing enabling, human enabling and data enabling
1. Transportation enabling
transportation enabling refers to the use of 5g supported technology in transportation, so as to liberate manpower and realize automatic transportation
this kind of application scenario is fully automated logistics transportation, which requires accurate and timely command operation. On the premise of real-time sharing of data and information between vehicles, it can accurately control vehicles for transportation through intelligent tracking and other technologies
at present, China's leading enterprises in the field of automatic driving are: network and roadstar.ai company, etc
2. Warehousing enabling
warehousing enabling refers to the use of 5g supported technology in warehousing, with the purpose of optimizing energy allocation and improving efficiency
there are three kinds of application scenarios: smart grid, smart warehouse and instrial vision system
① smart grid
smart grid is the energy guarantee for the normal operation of smart warehouse
the power grid has always been controlled by the state, so the State Grid needs to take the lead in deploying 5g in order to realize the wide use of the new generation of logistics enterprises<
② intelligent warehousing
the scenarios of intelligent warehousing are as follows:
optimization of warehouse location
intelligent sorting
improving the performance of goods transportation in the warehousing environment
at present, the leading enterprises in China in the field of intelligent warehousing are e-commerce enterprises such as Ali, Jingdong, Suning, vipshop and logistics enterprises such as Yuantong, Shentong and Shunfeng
③ instrial vision system
replaces human vision, matches high-speed assembly line, and greatly improves logistics automation
at present, China's leading enterprises in the field of computer vision include Shangtang technology, Tencent, Netease cloud, etc
3. Human empowerment
human empowerment refers to the use of 5g supported technology on people for the purpose of assisting people's work
this kind of application scenarios include augmented reality technology (AR) and instrial logistics monitoring
① augmented reality (AR)
by projecting virtual information to the real world and overlapping each other, a new scene of diversified information is formed
the application of AR technology in logistics instry can rece the cost of personnel training. In Alibaba's rookie ar intelligent logistics system, staff can see the orders provided by the system through ar glasses, follow the optimal route, and complete form scanning and express delivery
at present, China's leading enterprises in the field of augmented reality technology include Shangtang technology, liangfengtai, 0glass, etc<
② Instrial Logistics Monitoring
logistics monitoring refers to the whole process tracking of goods in the storage and transportation of goods. 5g will make the core link of logistics monitoring more efficient and intelligent
at present, China's leading enterprises in the monitoring instry include Hikvision, Dahua, Bosch group, UTV technology, Infineon, etc
4. Data enabling
data enabling is to collect, process and protect data through 5g supported technology
there are two application scenarios: logistics data computing platform (data collection and processing) and blockchain Technology (data protection)
① logistics data computing platform
5g can broaden the collection channels of logistics data, speed up the processing speed of logistics data, so as to improve the service quality and credibility of the whole logistics instry
at present, China's leading enterprises in the field of data computing include: Ming Lue technology, getui, Bairong financial services, talkingdate, etc
② blockchain technology
logistics needs to analyze the big data involving user information, logistics big data and post station big data, and study the technology of secure storage and data traceability. This process can maintain the safe transmission of logistics information with the help of blockchain technology
blockchain technology is considered to be an important solution for the new generation of logistics data and user privacy protection
at present, China's leading enterprises in the field of blockchain technology include Yunxiang, ALSHAN finance, netxin technology, etc
the daily delivery volume of China's express delivery has already exceeded 100 million pieces, and it is still increasing. It is difficult for people's work efficiency to meet the growing demand for express delivery. Through 5g's logistics transportation, warehousing, manpower and data empowerment, the efficiency of all aspects of logistics can be comprehensively improved, and the intelligent logistics is the general trend
in the era of rapid technological change, it is both an opportunity and a challenge. I hope that the logistics enterprises can actively explore, keep up with the times, and become the leading edge of the instry.
