Kotonlink: Visualized Surveillance Solution for Logistic Fleet

近些年来，在途货物在运输中被盗的新闻早已层出不穷，不仅给收货方，也给广大物流承运商带来不小的损失。

In recent years, the news of goods stolen during transition happened very frequently, this causes many troubles not only to the receiving party, but also cause great losses to the logistics carriers.

在物流供应链体系当中，运输和仓储管理是物流运作的重要环节，仓储成本及运输时间占有相当比重。而实践证明，传统的封条都是人工式封条，通过人为控制运输网络信息和运输作业，不仅效率低、准确性差，而且成本高、反应迟缓，只能对货物的物流状态信息进行简单记录，而不能对货物运输途中的状态（如：温湿度、光感、速度、振动位移）信息进行实时的记录，更无法满足企业对物品追踪溯源的需求。

In the logistics supply chain system, transport and storage management is an important process of logistics operation. Many actual cases proved that traditional seal is controlled by manually. By using manually controlled transportation and internet information, the efficiency and accuracy are all very low, and the cost very high, reaction very slow. Most of the time, can only simply record the logistics status, but can’t record the actual situations during transition, such as humidity, lightness, speed, and vibration displacement. Also can’t meet the source trace requirement of the enterprises.

运输环节的现状是货品种类不一，存储条件各异、货品运量大、运输信息孤岛，货物信息无从知晓、物流工作人员多，管理难度大，货物安全缺乏保障，成本耗费高。具体来说：

Current situation of the transportation link is the types of the goods are different, storage condition are different, the volume of the goods is large, the information of the goods is unknown, the logistics staff is too many, the management is difficult, the safety of the goods is lack of insurance, the cost is high. Especially:

01

货物种类不一，存储条件各异

There are different types of goods, and different kinds of storage conditions

按货物性质分类，可以将货物分为普通货物和特殊货物。普通货物是指其性质没有特殊要求的一般货物；特殊货物是指货物在性质、形状、体积等方面比较特殊，在运输保管中，有特殊要求，一般又分为鲜活货物、危险货物、笨重且长大货物、贵重货物和涉外货物等。

According to the nature of the goods, we can separate the goods into general goods and special goods. General goods mean the property has no any special requirement. Special goods mean the property, shape, volumes are very special. During the transportation, have special requirement. They are generally divided into fresh goods, dangerous goods, heavy and bulky goods, valuable goods and foreign-related goods, etc.

按物理形态分类，可以将货物分为散货、液体货和件杂货。散货是指在运输过程中其物理形态为细小的粉末状或颗粒状的货物，如煤炭、矿粉、粮食、化肥和水泥等货物；液体货是指在运输过程中其物理形态为气体，经压缩变为液态，装在容器中进行运输的货物，如石油、石油制成品、液化天然气、液化煤气等，在运输中，属于危险货物；第三就是件杂货，在运输过程中，不论物理形态如何，均经包装而形成袋装、桶装、箱装、捆装等形态之后再进行运输的货物，称为件杂货。件杂货是涉及面最广的货物，几乎所有的制成品，包括大多数机械设备、零部件、标准件，人们的日常生活用品(百货)，以及农产品、水果、畜产品、冷藏食品、冷藏用品等。在运输过程中，大都表现为某种包装形态的“件杂货”。简单讲，在运输过程中，凡需再包装的货物，称为“件杂货”。

According to physical form classification, goods can be divided into bulk cargo, liquid cargo and a piece of groceries. Bulk cargo refers to the cargo whose physical form is fine powdery or granular in the process of transportation, such as coal, mineral powder, grain, chemical fertilizer and cement, etc. Liquid cargo refers to the cargo whose physical form is gas in the process of transportation, which is compressed into liquid state and transported in containers, such as petroleum, petroleum manufactured goods, liquefied natural gas, liquefied gas, etc., which are dangerous goods in the process of transportation. The third is a general cargo, in the process of transportation, no matter how physical form, are packaged and formed bags, drums, boxes, bundles and other forms of transport goods, known as a general cargo. Groceries are the most widely involved goods. Almost all finished goods include most machinery and equipment, spare parts, standard parts, daily necessities (general merchandise), agricultural products, fruits, livestock products, refrigerated food, refrigerated supplies and so on. In the process of transportation, most of the performance for a certain form of packaging "a piece of groceries." Simply put, in the process of transportation, where the goods need to be repacked, called "a piece of groceries."

货物种类形态和性质的不同，决定了货物的不同运输方式。如生鲜食品的运输对温度和时间的要求很高，液体货的运输对震动、碰撞要求很高。因此，不同货物在途运输的监控是十分重要的环节。

The different types and properties of goods determine the different modes of transportation. For example, the transportation of fresh food has high requirements on temperature and time, and the transportation of liquid goods has high requirements on vibration and collision. Therefore, the monitoring of the transit of different goods is very important.

02

货品运量大，运输信息孤岛

Large volume of goods, transport information isolated.

物流运输车辆信息化管理程度低，目前大多车辆虽是第三方物流公司提供，车辆配有GPS定位系统，但是并没有跟公司的信息化平台管理相结合。因此，在货品运输量大的情况下，对于运输车辆的行驶路线，途中有无超速、震动，运输车辆有无偷油漏油仍然是个监控盲点。包裹有没有上车？包裹有没有被暴力装卸？包裹有没有被非法打开过？包裹实际位置在哪里？在货物运输中，这些信息都无法从物流公司获得。运输信息孤岛问题导致了车辆的运输效率得不到提高，影响公司整个配送效率，造成绩效低下。

At present, most vehicles are provided by third-party logistics companies and equipped with GPS positioning system, but they are not integrated with the company's information platform management. Therefore, in the case of a large amount of goods transport, for the transport vehicles on the road, there is no overspeed, vibration, transport vehicles have stolen oil leakage is still a monitoring blind spot. Does the package get on the train? Has the package been violently loaded or unloaded? Has the package ever been illegally opened? Where is the parcel actually located? During the transportation of goods, this information is not available from the logistics company. The problem of isolated transport information leads to the failure to improve the transport efficiency of vehicles, which affects the entire distribution efficiency of the company and results in low performance.

人员管理难度大，货物安全缺乏保障

Personal management is difficult and the safety of goods is not guaranteed

从货物出仓到配送，中间经历了数道环节，如打包、装箱、运往中转中心、分拣等，整个过程需要大量的人力和物力，不仅管理难度大，而且很容易导致货物被人为偷盗拆卸的情况，货物在交接过程中的责任也难以划分。即使采用厢式货车，商品途中也还是经常发生商品偷盗或者以次充好进行货物替换，甚至产生安全隐患，严重影响公司信誉，致企业蒙受重大经济损失。

The whole process requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is not only difficult to manage, but also easy to lead to the situation that the goods are stolen and dismantled, and the responsibility of the goods in the handover process is also difficult to be divided. Even with the use of vans, goods are often stolen or shoddy goods replacement, and even security risks, seriously affecting the reputation of the company, resulting in heavy economic losses to the enterprise.

一般防范办法是采用铅封进行防盗管理，因为普通塑料的防伪性能很低，可以轻易买到相同铅封进行替换，轻易被无损打开；采用传统挂锁虽然坚固一些，但也仍能轻易复制钥匙，被人为撬开。因此，货物在运输途中缺乏安全保障。

对物流运输的位置和安全监控场景的分析，我们可以得出，需要有传感器检测暴力运输和非法打开及监测货物的温湿度环境，需要无线网络来实现远距离无死角的数据传输，解决货物运输信息数据孤岛的问题，需要有GPS定位手段，终端有定位设备和传感器监测设备。

The general way to prevent theft is to use lead seal management, because the anti-counterfeiting performance of ordinary plastic is very low, you can easily buy the same lead seal for replacement, easily be opened without damage; The traditional padlock, though stronger, can still be easily copied and prized open by humans. Therefore, there is a lack of safety guarantee in transit. On the location of the logistics and security monitoring scenario analysis, we can conclude that requires sensors violence transport of goods and illegal open and monitoring of the temperature and humidity environment, need wireless network to realize long-distance data transmission without dead Angle, solve the problem of goods transport information data island, need to have GPS positioning method, terminal positioning equipment and sensors to monitor equipment

针对以上需求，国内物流供应链监控解决方案提供商磊科通科技研发的物流供应链可视化监控终端货护卫KT-G46就采用了温湿度传感器、光感传感器、运动传感器等，并广泛应用于货物的状态监控及跟踪定位。采用非接触式的自动识别技术及GPS定位技术，能有效地对货物的运输环节进行实时采集和跟踪，比如当货物仓储或运输过程中遭遇位移、震动、水浸、开箱或运输线路偏移、超时延误等情况时，系统能够实时监测并触发警报，管理人员就会第一时间获取货物运输过程中的相关信息。通过可视化分析，极大地提高了货物运输过程中的透明性和安全性，同时也为货物签收后的异常破损情况而引起的申诉理赔提供依据。

According to the above requirements, KT-G46, a visual monitoring terminal for logistics supply chain developed by Kotolink Co., Ltd, a domestic provider of logistics supply chain monitoring solutions, adopts temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors and motion sensors, and is widely used in the status monitoring and tracking of goods. Using non-contact automatic identification technology and GPS positioning technology, can effectively real-time acquisition and tracking of cargo transportation, such as when the goods storage and transportation process, a displacement, vibration, water, transport or opening lines offset, delay, and so on and so forth, overtime system can real-time monitoring and trigger the alarm, managers will be the first time to obtain the relevant information in the process of transport of goods. Through visual analysis, it greatly improves the transparency and safety in the process of cargo transportation, and also provides a basis for the appeal and settlement of claims caused by the abnormal damage of cargo after signing for the goods.
