Forwarded from Jiuzhou Logistics Network 2022-11-14

By opening up different transportation modes, digital freight will also usher in greater development space. In order to achieve this, the country has made new moves.

On October 24, the Ministry of Transport, the State Railway Administration, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the State Post Office jointly issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of the Main Framework of the National Comprehensive Three dimensional Transportation Network (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions).
What will China's logistics be like in the future? The Opinions put forward that "by 2035, the main framework of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network will be fully built", "strongly supporting the construction of the" National 123 Travel Circle "and the" Global 123 Fast Cargo Logistics Circle ", laying a solid foundation for basically building a transportation power."
Due to historical reasons, in the past, China's Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Railways, and the Civil Aviation Administration were divided, resulting in the lack of coordination and cohesion of highway, railway, air, water and other transportation modes. In this regard, the Opinions regard "improving multimodal transport" as one of the ten key tasks. What opportunities will this bring to the digital freight logistics market?
This issue of "Wisdom in China" of Handchain · No. 1 Logistics Network takes you to understand the new trend of digital freight development under the construction of three-dimensional transportation main framework.
1、 "Whole road" connection: cross transportation mode integration
Breakthrough of the whole intermodal transport line -- The Opinions put forward:
Give full play to the comparative advantages of various transport modes, accelerate the development of multimodal transport, and improve the combination efficiency. We will speed up the restructuring of freight transport, vigorously develop bulk cargo, container rail and river sea intermodal transport, promote the sharing of containers, standardized pallets, turnover boxes (baskets), etc. among different modes of transport, and accelerate the "one order system" of multimodal transport.
The purpose of digital freight development is to seek the optimization of freight service under the full scene and multiple links. However, in the absence of three-dimensional transportation, the matching of supply and demand of digital freight and the optimization of road network can only be limited to a single road or water transport.
At present, what are the difficulties in the development of digital freight platform? How to build a digital freight platform suitable for integrated transportation?
Shang Erbin, Deputy Director of the Expert Committee of the Road Freight Branch of the China Federation of Logistics and Procurement, pointed out in an interview with the First Logistics Network, "The construction of the domestic transportation network is sectoral. Although the construction of railways, roads, waterways and other aspects has made great progress, there is a lack of unified planning and coordination".
He pointed out that the current multimodal transport has two major pain points: one is "more", most are in the large span of transport modes, high infrastructure requirements, and separation of systems; Second, in "Lian", poor connectivity makes it difficult to coordinate information and data among transportation modes.
The integration and upgrading of road, waterway, railway, air transport and other basic road networks is the only way to upgrade digital freight. Integration and integration, first integration and then integration. The digitalization of transportation infrastructure lines and points is the key to integration, which forces enterprises as the main body to promote the process of digital transportation.
On the one hand, we should upgrade the infrastructure construction of various transport modes. The digitalization foundation of most subjects in traditional industries is relatively poor, and it is necessary to further improve the intelligent degree of transportation road network; On the other hand, it is necessary to get through the digital link of the whole factor cycle of each part, so as to better integrate various transportation modes without barriers.
China Storage Intelligent Transport, which is well versed in the key of multimodal transport, has made use of the resource gathering advantages of the network freight platform to build a road, rail and water multimodal transport infrastructure, integrate the shipper and carrier, and provide customers with comprehensive transport modes such as road, rail and water multimodal transport, international air transport, and international sea transport. On the basis of standardized multimodal transport products, China Storage Intelligent Transport launched the first intelligent multimodal transport docking network freight platform in October.
This breakthrough has solved the online one ticket circulation, transparency and service provider integration required by customers. Such services still need to be boosted by the top-level design of integrated transportation and multimodal transport development.
The Opinions not only put forward the main framework of the comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network in terms of infrastructure construction, but also clearly put forward the idea of "accelerating the development of multimodal transportation" and repeatedly proposed to improve the transportation network from multiple perspectives such as railways, waterways and highways. It is expected that, with the development of comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network and multimodal transport, integrated services will become more and more popular with the completion of cross transport modes.
2、 "Whole network" integration: entity and online integration
Breakthroughs in the whole network of intermodal transport -- The Opinions put forward:
"Promote information sharing, standard convergence and market integration of various transport modes." "Adhere to innovation driven, take digitalization, networking and intelligence as the main line, and promote the collaborative integration of sensing, transmission, computing and other facilities with the main skeleton transport infrastructure." "Carry out highway digitalization action, orderly promote the digitalization of the whole element cycle of highway infrastructure, deepen the expansion and application of expressway electronic toll collection system (ETC), and steadily promote the construction of intelligent road network cloud control platform."
"If the digital freight platform enterprises only do simple information tracing and invoicing, they will not be able to break through the blocking points and contact breakpoints. The multimodal transport development opportunities brought by the Opinions are not aimed at the digital freight platform alone, but are good for all participating enterprises." Shang Erbin pointed out to Zhang Lian.
In the process of digital intelligence, if the leading digital freight enterprises only achieve information tracking, they can issue invoices, which is easy to be surpassed or even replaced by other enterprises. The digital freight platform that can really realize value must be integrated into the scene to solve the existing transaction problems and data problems. This requires the combination of the online platform of digital freight and offline entities, and the combination of online services and offline services.
China Logistics Group, the "national team" of integrated logistics established nearly a year ago, has also made its own plans in the direction of multimodal transport. In the "12345" development strategic framework proposed in the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan", two basic networks have been built, namely, "physical logistics network" and "digital logistics network".
The so-called logistics entity network is the key to actively participate in the construction of the "channel+hub+network" modern logistics operation system. By means of investment and self construction, merger and reorganization, agreement and cooperation, strategic alliance, output management, etc., the scientific layout of logistics facilities, the adaptation of supply and demand, and the improvement of multimodal transport capacity are realized. Logistics digital network takes data as the key element, value release as the core, and data empowerment as the main line.
"No matter what service, all industries are developing towards digitalization and informatization," explained Shang Erbin.
How can offline networks (various transport networks) and online networks (digital freight cloud platform) be effectively integrated?
Shang Erbin said that the basic database of multimodal transport logistics should be built as a whole, and the basic data in offline systems such as railway, highway, water transport and aviation should be integrated and uploaded, so as to realize the information interconnection between different transport modes in the "offline network", and information sharing with the port hub supervision department, so as to achieve "offline logistics and cloud information". Further improve the digitalization and informatization level of multimodal transport, and achieve "one order to the end" of multimodal transport.
In this regard, China Logistics Group proposed to build a digital platform connecting the supply side, demand side and service side around digital industrialization, industry digitalization and management and control digitalization, with the goal of realizing intelligent process processing and data processing, so as to achieve data driven business development and help intelligent logistics upgrade. Specific measures include accelerating the realization of industrial digitalization, actively promoting digital industrialization, and building a digital management and control system.
3、 "Full chain" integration: full link system optimization
Breakthroughs in the whole chain of intermodal transport -- The Opinions put forward:
Adhere to green, intensive and innovative intelligence, focus on multi center and networking, and focus on networking to supplement the network and strengthen the chain, improve network efficiency, enhance system resilience, achieve the integration of economic, social, ecological and security benefits, accelerate the construction of the main framework of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, and build a modern high-quality national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network.
The digital freight platform, supported by the development of multimodal transport, will eventually serve the industrial chain supply chain and achieve full scenario optimization and full link integration services.
"Multimodal transport is a complex system engineering that is cross mode, cross department, cross region and cross industry. It is difficult to be 'multi' and 'integrated'. It requires deep collaboration between various transport modes, supply chain and industrial chain upstream and downstream." Zhong Zhangdui, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, said.
Industrial digitalization is the transformation and upgrading of "all directions", "all chains" and "all elements". Because of this, in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, we must break through the entire supply chain. The digital freight platform should also comply with the supply chain integration services of all directions, all chains and all elements.
If the basic road network is a single breakthrough of the line, and the physical road network+digital network is integrated, then from the perspective of the whole chain, it is to jump out of a single pain point, broaden the boundary, enable the whole chain, and realize the value of cost reduction and efficiency increase for the entire upstream and downstream. Combined with this definition, the head of the digital freight platform may turn to the direction of digital supply chain.
As an important digital platform of China Logistics Group, the digital strategic planning of CCUMIT is to build a digital solution support system, business platform support system and big data product system based on the whole business process, business objects and business scenarios of the supply chain, supported by cutting-edge technologies, so as to enable the whole chain digital capabilities of upstream and downstream enterprises in commodity trading, transportation, warehousing, financing, etc.
In order to improve the efficiency from the source, the intelligent multi connection of China Storage Intelligent Transportation realizes the connection and business linkage of different business systems such as network freight, water transportation, rail transportation and air transportation through the business middle platform, realizes the unified order, the whole process digital circulation and visual monitoring, and provides customers with end-to-end intelligent supply chain solutions.
It is understood that CCM Intelligent Transport has integrated carriers, stations/ports and other service providers, docked with government information platforms of industry and commerce, taxation, transportation, public security, customs and other relevant departments, achieved connectivity and resource sharing between upstream and downstream of multimodal transport, and supported bulk transport and trade collaboration businesses such as coal, improved the organizational efficiency of multimodal transport and improved the industrial operation efficiency with the support of mature technologies.
As far as the current structure is concerned, industries with multimodal transport demand generally have the characteristics of long supply links, multiple links and many enterprises involved. What a mature digital freight platform needs to do is to take scenario as the core, constantly deepen services and expand them to digital supply chain services, achieve logistics visualization, disintermediation of transaction process, information connectivity, and strengthen the links between all parties on the chain. With the implementation of the Opinions, China's digital freight platform enterprises may enter into greater imagination!
