Ren Zhengfei talks about virtual currency blockchain
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.
It took Huawei 30 years to become a world-class enterprise from a sales agent of a PBX proction company. As the founder of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei's various "quotations" spread on the Internet, known as a management thinker. Due to his few public appearances, Ren Zhengfei is quite mysterious to the outside world
Ren Zhengfei said that in the future, Huawei's R & D will mainly focus on basic research on the main channel, basic research on artificial intelligence and application research“ Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence are mainly algorithms, computing power and data, which are difficult to break through. We follow the world's investment and keep pace with the world's development. " He said that the "blockchain" for Huawei has not been mentioned on the agenda At the same time, Ren Zhengfei said frankly that Huawei's big enterprise disease should be very serious“ Some senior managers criticize ourselves, saying that the management of people used to be scientific management, but now how can it become mathematical management? This is rigid dogma. The institutions are too big and heavy. " He said that to solve these problems is not to bombard them overnight, and then carry out small reforms. As long as we see the direction, we can reform slowly and improve efficiencyIn fact, the development of the supply chain has certain rules. For example, in the life of the same person, from the birth and ignorance of the baby, to the toddler and babbling of the child, to the innocence and childishness of the youth, and then to grow up and start a family. Some people have a broad vision and go all over the world, while others are complacent and accomplish nothing. From immature to mature, although everyone has their own different experiences, they can not escape these stages
Similarly, in order to distinguish the development level and maturity of supply chain, it is divided into five levels. They are original supply chain, primary supply chain, integrated supply chain, collaborative supply chain and smart supply chain: < UL >the core of driving the original supply chain to upgrade to the primary supply chain, and specialized division of functions
the core of driving the primary supply chain to upgrade to the integrated supply chain, It is the core of cross department process construction to drive the upgrading of integrated supply chain to collaborative supply chain, the core of supply chain leadership to drive the upgrading of collaborative supply chain to smart supply chain, and the application ability of new technology. This table only lists some new technologies that are developing rapidly. It can be imagined that new technologies will continue to emerge, and the new technology items on the left side of the form will continue to be updated. However, no matter how the technology changes, the three objectives VSA on the top of the form will remain unchanged
Then, what is the application value of this form? There are two directions for your referenceone is the application order of technology, the other is the application cost of technology
from the perspective of technology application order, from visualization to perceptibility, and then to adjustability, is a progressive relationship, the former is the basis of the latter
for example, when applying big data to demand planning and forecasting, we should first put our energy into data visualization (V), that is, how to realize data capture, data structured processing, and data storage. Then it is to establish the data prediction model, and on this basis to establish the perception ability (s)
for another example, UAV can improve the flexibility of the supply chain, that is, the ability to adjust (a), but without the first realization of the visualization (V) and perceptibility (s) of the supply chain, it can not intelligently drive the UAV to work. At this time, the UAV is at most putting on a show. There is no one on the UAV, and there are people everywhere. Such a scene is extremely ridiculous. The resources and funds of enterprises are limited, and the smart deployment in the order of VSA will get twice the result with half the effort
from the perspective of technology application cost, new technology has its life cycle from emergence to maturity. For example, artificial intelligence, from IBM dark blue PK world chess master to Google's AFA dog to kill the top go masters, it is recently reported that AFA dog will withdraw from the chess world and focus on more valuable scientific and technological fields such as cancer treatment in the future. The power of artificial intelligence is increasing day by day. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, its application cost will graally go down. Robots are a perfect example. In the past, millions of instrial welding robots can be bought by hundreds of thousands. When enterprises invest in the field of intelligence, they should not be too aggressive or stop. The best way is to keep up with the technology, take a quick run, and graally invest
to keep up with technology, we need supply chain managers to attend more forums, visit more enterprises, learn more from advanced instries, have an open vision, and don't build cars behind closed doors; Small steps and fast running means that the promotion of the intelligent supply chain is divided into many small sub projects, which are coordinated and implemented separately. The pace should be fast but not big; Step by step investment is to follow the VSA principle, from visualization to perceptibility, and then to adjustability, step by step investment, and graally realize the wisdom of the whole system
summary
clear objectives and upgrading
from the original supply chain to the smart supply chain, it's like upgrading, with old monsters waiting for you at every level; The next level is the foundation of the next level, and the next level is the goal of the next level. If the foundation is not firm, the steps will collapse; The goal is too high to cross
so how to determine the goal and upgrade? We can sum up as follows:
the core of driving the original supply chain to upgrade to the primary supply chain is the core of professional division of functions
driving the primary supply chain to upgrade to the integrated supply chain, is the core of cross department process construction
driving the integrated supply chain to upgrade to the collaborative supply chain, It is the leadership of supply chain
that drives the core of collaborative supply chain upgrading to smart supply chain, and it is the application ability of new technology
therefore, we first need to judge the maturity level of supply chain (judgment level) of the enterprise or platform at present; Secondly, according to the maturity level of the supply chain, the direction of upgrading is set; Finally, the supply chain maturity is upgraded (steadily) by building the lack of capabilities
it should be noted that there may be multiple supply chains in an enterprise or platform, and different supply chains have different maturity levels, which need to be treated separately; In addition, even within the same level, subdivision can continue, such as S & amp; The process maturity of OP can be subdivided into five levels
from the original supply chain to the smart supply chain, we need a pair of sharp eyes (to find problems), a smart mind (to clear goals), and a flexible body that can cooperate with the eyes and brain (supply chain collaboration is the key). With the cooperation of eye, brain and body, the pursuit of smart supply chain is no longer just a dream
