3. Six objectives of logistics
Minimum variation, rapid response, integrated transportation, minimum inventory, quality assurance, and life cycle support are six main objectives of logistics management.
Minimum variation
The purpose of minimum variation is to try hard to control any unexpected events that could disturb the performance of the 物流系統, 例如, delays in receiving orders from customers, delivery of goods to the wrong address, unexpected damage in the shipping process, ETC. The traditional solution to these unexpected problems is to use high-cost transportation or have enough reserve stocks. 如今, with the support of computer technology, the use of management information technology makes it possible to have an in-time and active response to these problems.
Quick response
Rapid response requires the ability of the company to meet customers’ service requirements in time. 快速反應能力需要企業將庫存和產品的重點轉移到快速回應客戶的運輸要求. 智慧物流和資訊技術的發展，使企業能夠在最短的時間內完成物流流程，將庫存和貨物盡快交付給客戶。.
Integration of the transportation
據我們所知, 運輸是物流企業最大的成本之一. 更通俗地說, 若運輸中的產品規模較大且貨物運輸距離較遠, 運輸成本相對於規模較小的貨物和短距離運輸會具有較低的成本. This requires the company to have plan and structure ability and integrate shipments with larger scales and volumes.
The minimum inventory
Minimum inventory and increased inventory turnover can reduce the financial pressure on logistics companies. The high turnover of inventory allows the money spent on inventory to be released as quickly as possible, and the minimum inventory objective should be complemented by the objective of providing quality service to customers.
Product quality and life cycle
Since logistics operations must be processed across a wide range of areas and at any random time, most of them also are carried out outside the supervision of the supervisor. 所以, the quality of products should be paid more attention to and strengthened since the cost of redoing the order is quite large if any damages occur due to the incorrect operations in the shipping process. 所以, logistics is a major component of developing and sustaining continuous improvement.
4. Challenges of intelligent logistics
High logistics cost
The logistics industry is in a phase of rapid development and change. The operation cost climbs unceasingly and the logistics cost is on the high side. The main link of logistics still works with the traditional manual mode, the structure of the logistics industry is not complete, and the cost of logistics resources management is high. Autonomous distribution equipment has not been put into large-scale application, the main reason is that intelligent distribution equipment needs regular maintenance and repair, and it is difficult to maintain a balance between production cost and profit.
Low logistics efficiency
In the automation phase, the way to improve logistics efficiency is to increase the investment in the fleet, manpower, and storage. Because of the boundary effect, the efficiency improvement effect is not ideal. 現在, the degree of logistics networking, intensification, and resource sharing is still low.
Uneven level of digitization
There are a large number of logistics enterprises in China, and the level of related hardware, 軟體, and other infrastructure of logistics enterprises is uneven, which leads to low efficiency of information sharing and difficulty in giving play to the advantages of big data, 人工智慧, and other cutting-edge technologies, and inability to establish a digital and smart logistics system. 同時, the acceptance of enterprises for the application of cutting-edge technology needs to be improved.
Urgent need to improve the terminal intelligent service
The terminal intelligent service has not been normalized, and the coordination ability is poor. “The last kilometer” is also very dependent on humans, the consignee or consignor of intelligent service levels are poor.
5. Benefits of Smart logistics
A reduction in transportation costs and an improvement in enterprise profits
Smart logistics has a huge impact on cost reduction, and effectively improves the profits of enterprises. Manufacturers, 批發商, and retailers should cooperate and share information through smart logistics so that logistics enterprises can save more costs. To effectively realize smart logistics scheduling management to strengthen the rationalization of logistics management, and most importantly, reduce the unnecessary cost during the process, key technologies such as object identification and tracking, 定位, and other new information technology should be applied widely. By reducing the cost, the profits of the companies will be increased accordingly.
Technical support and accelerator for the logistics industry
The construction of smart logistics will speed up the development of the local logistics industry since it can integrate each link into one. The benefits include breaking the restrictions between cross-industry, realizing efficient operation, coordinating cross-departmental interests, and optimizing the allocation of logistics resources. 同時, these enterprises can also share infrastructure and information, reducing operating costs and expenses. 而且, the integration of logistics enterprises, will give full play to the overall advantages and scale advantages, and realize the modernization and specialization of traditional logistics enterprises.

11. Development history of Smart logistics
The logistics have become intelligent to meet the internal requirements of its development in the background of the Internet of things, 大數據, The Internet, and cloud computing. Its development process is divided into the following five stages.
[First stage] 1950-1970 Extensive logistics
After World War II, the world economy recovered rapidly and the market demand was booming. Enterprises focused on production and paid little attention to logistics in the circulation field. It was generally believed that maximizing output would lead to maximizing profit, resulting in a large amount of inventory. But the blind expansion of production can not be sustained soon, forcing enterprises to find a more suitable logistics business model
[The second stage] 1970-1980 Systematic logistics
As the world economic internationalization trend, the logistics industry also gradually from scattered, extensive management into system management mode, the period of the enterprises’ understanding of logistics from simple dispersed specific functions such as transportation, 貯存, and inventory management, to rise to the raw material procurement to product sales throughout the process of unified management, and logistics as integrated science, Companies are starting to focus on logistics costs and benefits.
[The third stage] 1990-2000 Electronic logistics
In this period, the emergence and large-scale application of computers have become the biggest driving force to promote the electronic logistics industry. The two most typical information technologies are bar code born in the 1970s and EDI in the 1980s. With the application of EDI expanded to online ordering, inventory management, delivery management, customs declaration, 支付, 等等, enterprises began to pay attention to the logistics effect of the supply chain and committed to improving the efficiency and benefit of the supply chain logistics.
