The future of the express delivery industry—the rise of unmanned delivery

With the continuous advancement of technology, unmanned delivery is gradually becoming a new trend in the express delivery industry. In this digital era, Chinese companies SF Express, JD.com, and foreign companies DHL, Amazon, etc. have invested in the research and development and practice of unmanned delivery, promoting innovation and development in the express delivery industry. This article will combine wheel hub motor technology to explore the prospects of unmanned delivery in the express delivery industry, and list some cases of related companies.
1. The prospect of unmanned delivery
With the development of artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things and other technologies, unmanned delivery is gradually becoming the future trend of the express delivery industry. Unmanned delivery has the advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, and energy saving, which can greatly improve delivery efficiency, reduce costs, and provide a better user experience. At the same time, unmanned delivery can also solve problems such as shortage of human resources and traffic congestion, and contribute to the sustainable development of cities. 


2. SF Express’ unmanned delivery practice
Chinese company SF Express is actively exploring and practicing in the field of unmanned delivery. SF Express has launched projects such as “SF Express Station Robot” and “SF Express Drone” to use drones and robots for express delivery. The SF Express station robot uses hub motor technology and has functions such as autonomous navigation and intelligent obstacle avoidance. Automatic pickup and delivery operations can be realized, greatly improving delivery efficiency.

 

3. JD’s unmanned delivery practice
JD.com is also actively exploring and practicing in the field of unmanned delivery. JD.com has launched projects such as “JD Self-Driving Cars” and “JD Drones” to use self-driving cars and drones for express delivery. JD’s unmanned vehicles use in-wheel motor technology and have functions such as autonomous driving and intelligent sensing. They can realize autonomous navigation, automatic charging and other operations, providing users with more convenient delivery services.
When it comes to unmanned delivery, hub motor technology is a very important factor. In-wheel motors are technology that integrates electric motors into the wheels and could provide unique advantages for autonomous delivery vehicles.
First, the hub motor can achieve autonomous navigation. By integrating sensors and navigation systems, unmanned delivery vehicles can accurately perceive the surrounding environment and navigate autonomously. The direct drive method of the in-wheel motor provides more precise control, allowing the vehicle to follow a predetermined path more accurately.
Secondly, the wheel hub motor can realize intelligent obstacle avoidance. Equipped with sensors such as lidar and cameras, unmanned delivery vehicles can detect obstacles in time and make corresponding avoidance actions. The fast response and precise control capabilities of the in-wheel motor can make the vehicle more flexible to avoid obstacles, ensuring safe and smooth delivery.
In addition, the hub motor can be charged automatically. The unmanned delivery vehicle can automatically sense the battery power through the hub motor and automatically go to the charging pile to charge when needed. This reduces manual intervention and increases delivery vehicle efficiency and continuous uptime.
To sum up, in-wheel motor technology plays an important role in unmanned delivery. It can realize autonomous navigation, intelligent obstacle avoidance, automatic charging and other functions to improve delivery efficiency and accuracy. With the continuous innovation and improvement of technology, it is believed that wheel hub motors will play a greater role in the field of unmanned distribution and provide users with more efficient and convenient distribution services.
Shenzhen Zhongling Technology is a company that has long been rooted in the field of wheel hub motors. Its products have entered major industries around the world and continue to expand more possibilities in the future.
