How Labeling Efficiency Was Improved For A Major Chinese Logistics Company, In April 2009 I was working as a consultant and looking into the e-commerce customer service for a major Chinese express logistics company when I was taken aback by what the business was doing. It had workers manually attaching 3,000 printed courier labels to packages each day. That task required 12 employees to work overtime for more than ten hours.

How Sorting Line Efficiency Was Improved for A Major Chinese Logistics Company. When I visited a major Chinese logistics company in March 2009, I was startled by what I saw. At the end of every turn of the sorting line, two workers were continuously picking up packages that fell and placing them on the next section of the conveyor belt. So I decided to speak to the husband and wife who co-owned the business about what was taking place.

I believe that by applying those five technological solutions (wireless light Tag + wearable computer), in combination with changes to delivery methods, we can enhance driver delivery productivity 100 percent. That would increase a drivers daily deliveries from a previous limit of 250 packages to consistently achieving exceptional results of 500 packages per day, and more easier.

The most practical of these devices for use in logistics will likely be ring scanner, wearable computer and ultra-low-power Wireless Light Tag. These will be used to help delivery drivers identify a specific package for selection out of the back of a van.

As you can see, small companies don’t shy away from tackling difficult technological challenges. For the reasons I discussed in an earlier post, we have the singular drive and focus to innovate and apply original —— often unorthodox thinking —— to solving problems that baffle big companies.

When HYCO technology first received a client request to design a highly sensitive, low-power device, our engineers and supplier experts initially thought it was nearly impossible to solve the signal issue. They advised me to abandon the project, arguing simply: “Even Apple phones suffer from the ‘death grip,’ and if Apple, with all its top global talents can’t solve this problem, what chance do we have? Just give up!”
