The new ‘Ghost Logistics Center’ built in China has become the center of discussion around the world. These modern warehouses are completely operated by artificial intelligence and robots. There is no human labor here, and there is no need to turn on the lights.
The work of picking, storing and shipping products continues uninterruptedly 24 hours a day, day and night. As a result, it is seen as a powerful example of smart logistics and Industry 4.0.
Lightless warehouse
These logistics centers are called ‘lights-out’ warehouses. Because there are no people inside, there is no need to turn on the lights. The robots can work accurately in the dark. This reduces electricity consumption and increases efficiency.
In addition, the risk of human error is almost zero. That is why these centers are being called ‘ghost’.
Uninterrupted work of robots
In these warehouses, automated robots carry containers and move across a large area. The work of picking up and putting down goods is done by mechanical arms. At the same time, drones and self-driving vehicles take over the delivery. All activities are controlled by powerful computer systems. As a result, each step is completed quickly and accurately.
Viral video
Recently, videos of these ghost logistics centers have gone viral on social media. In the video, it can be seen that thousands of parcels are being processed simultaneously. The robots are working without any breaks.
This scene seems like the future to many. Technology lovers are seeing it as an unimaginable progress. As a result, there has been a lot of interest online.
China’s leadership
China is leading the world in this advancement of smart logistics. Large companies like JD.com, Alibaba and SF Express have already opened these centers. Robots handle almost all the work in them.
Through this, China is rapidly moving towards Industry 4.0. This is a clear indication of the country’s technology-based development.
Hints of the future
The same trend is seen not only in logistics but also in the automobile industry. A factory has been opened in China, where it is possible to produce 800 electric cars a day. These initiatives show that in the future, human-dependent work will be reduced further. At the same time, efficiency and productivity will increase. That is why many see the Ghost Logistics Center as a glimpse of the world to come.
