The world's largest of logistics AMR is coming

In business, the man-machine model is on the rise. According to the latest news, the logistics park of fast fashion and leisure brand FastFish recently welcomed 880 robots. They quickly shuttle through the double-layer table and accurately deliver goods to the designated delivery port of offline stores by scanning the bar code above the goods.

This is a rare scene in the field of logistics robots. It is the largest single cluster AMR operation site in the world. It is reported that the logistics robot cluster movement, the hardware equipment needs to be stable and error-free, accurate positioning and navigation to millimeters, communication system without breakpoint, robot scheduling and algorithm of super ability, high-speed operation without collision, error-free operation, is a very strong integrated innovation ability, but also indicates that the fast fish clothing try to use the results of the science and technology industry to improve the efficiency of traditional logistics determination.

The introduction of robots in warehouses is not new, and ecommerce companies are moving faster in this area than fast-fashion companies. Uniqlo follows companies such as Amazon, Walmart, Alibaba and JD that have let robots take over warehouse jobs. Deeping in the fashion casual clothing industry for 19 years, with 2700 stores nationwide, 40 million + members, supported by seven large logistics bases, Fast Fish Apparel realized that with the continuous expansion of scale, enterprises also need to pursue the consistency of efficiency and cost, that is, "cost reduction, efficiency increase".

To this end, FastFish chose YaoLi to jointly build a "robot warehouse", reform and improve the logistics system, realize the automation of warehousing, and re-increase the concept of "fast". 

It is understood that the whole conveying and sorting system is currently responsible for the clothing inspection and sorting work in the Fast fish clothing warehouse. On the one hand, to replace the traditional workers to pick up and pack clothes, it can identify various types of clothes, and smoothly load into the carton, so that the package can realize intelligent, unmanned fast and accurate sorting, so as to realize efficient and low-cost processing.

On the other hand, logistics automation can not only accelerate product delivery to adapt to channel transformation and consumer experience improvement, but also save labor costs for enterprises. These robots, for example, replace 90 percent of the human workforce and can operate 24 hours a day. Machine operation has almost completely replaced assembly line operation, only a few links need manual participation, greatly reducing the cost of labor.

While it's not cheap to build, it's an investment for the brand that could significantly reduce warehousing costs in the future and even further improve delivery efficiency. Especially under the epidemic situation, the flexible allocation of in-factory logistics plays a crucial role in ensuring the flexibility of manufacturing enterprises and improving the market response ability. By using digital technology to optimize the full elements of logistics, Fast Fish Clothing provides a "master key" for enterprises.

This is not the first time that FastFish Apparel has invested heavily in the digital field. In fact, in addition to automatic storage technology,  FastFish Apparel has been trying new sales scenarios in recent years. Previously, the brand cooperated with the third party to accelerate online and offline, front-end and back-end digital capabilities. The realization of digital store building at the front end can better serve consumers. Further optimize the back-end clothing supply chain, product life cycle management, inventory turnover, etc.

The essence of new retail is efficiency revolution. Under the efficiency requirements of new retail, it is the proposition of all garment enterprises to enable technology to empower logistics and constantly explore new consumption patterns and production modes to meet more demands. The "automatic conveying sorting warehouse" created by Fast Fish Clothing has been a good industry benchmark demonstration. It is believed that more clothing enterprises will follow this technology in the future.
