DHL survey intelligent mobile phone and computer technology has great potential in the field of logistics

The latest survey shows the DHL, originally used for the development of consumer electronic products such as mobile phone technology can be more and more in the future application in the logistics field.
DHL customer solutions and innovation department found, this is a situation and past the opposite. Previously, for commercial purposes and the invention of new technology in the later applied to personal life. This trend report "low cost sensing technology" shows the application such as Microsoft video game camera Kinect, intelligent monitoring and near field communication NFC technology in logistics.
DHL customers to solve the research plan and innovation trend responsible person said, with the intelligent mobile phone and tablet computer success, employees can be better applied this technology for personal use, not commercial environment. But they also want to apply the same technical standards to work. Therefore, the future enterprise must strengthen and implement intelligent sensing technology, especially in the logistics industry.
The report shows, a large number of sensor comprises a flat panel computer and intelligent mobile phone, can capture the surrounding information and measuring speed, position and light. This technique can also be applied to the logistics industry, such as cargo tracking process to find out the exact location and arrival package center wrapped in time, and the corresponding state in the online update package.
In addition, DHL has been successful in the other two applications were tested. The sensor system based on Microsoft Kinect, the company has developed two for measuring tray capacity of application. In the process of test, measurement method with the depth sensing technology has confirmed the measurement speed faster than previous techniques 50%. The damage of another potential application areas include measuring container and truck load capacity and the monitoring and recording of goods.
DHL says, network development costs are very high, so the economic and effective sensor for logistics industry very attractive. Mass production of sensors generate economies of scale can offset some of the costs. Customers will benefit from the increased capacity measurement function, can make the better use of transport network. Due to the optimization of load capacity, carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced to the lowest, also be better documented cargo damage.
