Pallets in logistics.

Logistics is a concept with a wide range. Logistics involves a wide range of fields, including small logistics, medium packaging logistics, and large and extra-large logistics; both liquid logistics and bulk material logistics, There is also solid logistics; the industries involved in logistics are more extensive, the logistics systems are also very different, and the logistics expertise is extremely professional.However, when analyzing logistics, it is necessary to simplify complex logistics through a high degree of generalization. Looking at logistics operations from this perspective, I briefly summarize logistics operations into five words: dividing, combining, moving, transporting, and storing; namely, diversion, confluence, Handling, transportation, warehousing.

The object of the logistics operation is the items, and the items are packaged in standard units so that the logistics operations can be divided and combined by building blocks in the diversion and confluence, and standardized stacking and standard handling operations can be realized. Computing and the Internet of Things are used for the optimization and operation of diversion and confluence, so that logistics can be quickly sorted, separated, and quickly merged, sharing logistics resources and reducing logistics costs.

Unitized logistics refers to integrating items into standardized and standardized cargo units from delivery and maintaining the basic unit form of goods until reaching the end of logistics. Such a logistics form is unitized logistics.Unitized logistics starts from packaging, and complex items have standardized packaging modules. Standard logistics boxes, pallets, and containers are the most famous small, medium and large standard units in the logistics system. Their standardization has brought revolutionary changes in the logistics industry and changed the world.

The unitization technology greatly reduces the logistics cost and fundamentally changes the traditional transportation packaging and loading and unloading handling tools. Intercommunication.

As an individual unit in the logistics unit, pallets are effectively used and integrated into the logistics process to promote fast transportation in the logistics and warehousing industry, thereby promoting supply chain management and promoting the development of smart logistics. Therefore, the standardization of commercial and trade logistics does not only stop at the unit standardization of "things", but also promotes the standardization of "flow" based on the unit standardization of "materials", and further promotes the standardization of "chain".

Pallets circulate with the goods among producers, wholesalers, sellers, and users. The circulation of the pallet requires that the pallet size should be compatible with the product packaging module to ensure that the pallet has the best loading efficiency; it should be compatible with the size of various forklift trucks to optimize the loading and unloading efficiency; it should be compatible with the shelf specifications. In order to improve storage efficiency; it should be adapted to the specifications of freight cars, train caravans, and containers to improve transportation efficiency.
