Artificial Intelligence Technology in Smart Logistics: Application Scenarios, Challenges, and Countermeasures

Abstract

China is a major manufacturing country, and its logistics industry plays a prominent role as the link between “production and sales.” Against this background, China has increasingly emphasized the development of smart logistics and has successively issued policies such as the Action Plan for Large-Scale Equipment Renewal in Transportation and the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Smart Ports and Smart Waterways. Artificial intelligence is the core technology of smart logistics, and its application is crucial for enhancing the intelligence level of smart logistics. Taking the basic functions of the logistics industry as the starting point, this paper discusses the application scenarios of artificial intelligence technology in various logistics functions, including intelligent warehousing, logistics distribution, and intelligent decision-making. Based on the current status of smart logistics and artificial intelligence technology, it analyzes the challenges faced by the application of artificial intelligence technology and corresponding strategies, aiming to fully leverage the application value of artificial intelligence technology and promote the development of the logistics industry toward intelligence and refinement.
