With the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics approaching, logistics work is also being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Compared with ordinary logistics, athletes from all over the world carry a variety of over-gauge luggage, and how to ensure its transportation safety is the focus of this logistics work. In the context of epidemic prevention and control, epidemic prevention and safety is the top priority, while doing a good job in killing, all aspects of logistics and distribution have put into use more high-tech such as unmanned vehicles and unmanned distribution cabinets, reducing the risk of direct contact.
Multiple rounds of elimination in each link
How can logistics work ensure epidemic prevention and safety while operating efficiently? The reporter learned that each link of the logistics support work of the Beijing Winter Olympics has multiple rounds of monitoring and elimination, and such epidemic prevention requirements will continue until the post-game material recovery stage at the end of the event.
"According to the IOC's estimates, the logistics work of this Winter Olympics is the largest in peacetime. With the epidemic, for logistics, it is mainly to increase the uncertainty of the supply chain. Li Yanling, director of the Logistics Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has formulated an implementation plan for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in logistics services, emphasizing the simultaneous prevention of people, things, environment and equipment.
Li Yanling said that the epidemic prevention plan has detailed provisions on equipment in high, medium and low risk areas, as well as its different flows and management. "Our first is to do testing, and the second is to do elimination." For example, she said, when a certain equipment and materials are cleared at the port, the façade of the vehicle must first be disinfected, and when the goods are unloaded at the venue, a professional company is also required to kill, and the equipment and materials are dismantled and used in the box. "Each link has specific measures, professional killing methods, scientific management methods to prevent."
Located in the Tianzhu Comprehensive Insurance Zone of Beijing, the main logistics center of the Beijing Winter Olympics is not only a centralized storage place for furniture white electricity, technical equipment, sports equipment and other competition materials, but also undertakes the distribution of materials required during the game, the coordination of distribution customs clearance and the preparation of overall distribution plans. As the first non-competition venue to be opened at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the main logistics center has also made great efforts in epidemic prevention.
Several experts from the Shunyi District Center for Disease Control and Prevention settled in the main logistics center and were responsible for the work related to epidemic prevention in the venue. Due to the different functional positioning of each venue, combined with the actual situation of the main logistics center, the epidemic prevention measures and management requirements of each business field and stationed unit of the venue are carefully standardized.
The main logistics center strictly implements epidemic prevention and control measures, strictly manages goods, vehicles and personnel in sub-regions, and manages diversion lines to avoid cross-contact. Before all goods are put into storage, strictly check the entry procedures and carry out comprehensive disinfection in the designated area outside the warehouse. For imported goods and goods from medium- and high-risk areas in the country, sampling of new crown nucleic acids is also carried out, and the cargo party with complete procedures and negative nucleic acid test results is allowed to enter the warehouse. After the goods are unloaded, the second killing is carried out. After all goods enter the warehouse, the staff routinely disinfects the goods, shelves, and the environment in the warehouse. Once again, the goods are thoroughly disinfected after they leave the warehouse, so that other venues can receive the goods safely and confidently. In terms of personnel, all inbound personnel stationed in the logistics center are subject to closed-loop management, daily nucleic acid testing and health monitoring, and daily monitoring and disinfection of their living and working environments.

Contactless delivery of smart devices
In the main logistics center B warehouse 2 floor logistics warehouse, the logistics center of the science and technology logistics area has a number of logistics "black technology". At the scene, multiple "wolf" robots are carrying the supplies needed for the event. The winter Olympic games will shuttle through the closed loop and non-closed loop area of the event unmanned vehicles and unmanned delivery cabinets are also eye-catching. "On the one hand, green logistics, scientific and technological logistics, at the same time, because some materials are shipped from abroad, they are transported and distributed by 'ground wolves' and unmanned vehicles, which also ensures the safety of epidemic prevention." Li Jin, director of the Logistics Department of the Logistics Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said.
For the overall consideration of improving the efficiency of logistics and distribution and reducing the risk of epidemic transmission, unmanned and intelligent is a distinctive feature of the logistics guarantee work of the Winter Olympic Games. In order to promote scientific and technological epidemic prevention, JD Logistics, a logistics service provider of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, has successively put into use 14 outdoor intelligent distribution equipment and 3 indoor intelligent distribution equipment in a number of Winter Olympic venues.
Deng Chao, head of the system of the hardware research and development department of Jingdong Logistics Robot, introduced that the indoor intelligent logistics robot can carry items weighing 30-300 kilograms and realize unmanned and contactless terminal distribution in the venue. In order to improve the efficiency and safety of the flow of materials in the museum, indoor delivery robots are working in the buffer zone, and the staff in the clean area can call the indoor delivery robot to their location through the configured intelligent terminal. After the vehicle reaches the boundary between the clean area and the buffer zone, the staff can place the materials in the robot box, and the robot transports the materials to the boundary between the buffer zone and the polluted area, and completes the ferry connection between the materials from the clean area to the polluted area. Materials in polluted areas can also be sent to the clean area by robots after being eliminated, reducing the flow of people across the area.
In order to further implement contactless distribution, Jingdong Logistics will also successively put into use 23 sets of double-sided intelligent distribution cabinets, standing on the separation line between the closed loop and outside the closed loop, through the design of the "double-sided cabinet" to achieve the two-way operation of storage and pickup, to avoid direct contact between the depositor and the picker to the greatest extent, and to solve the "last kilometer" contactless distribution problem in the Winter Olympic venues.
In addition, Jingdong Logistics has introduced intelligent warehousing management facilities in the main logistics center of the Winter Olympics, implemented automated management and sorting of high-risk materials, reduced the probability of operators in the warehouse contacting high-risk materials, realized unmanned and intelligent warehousing management, and effectively responded to the epidemic prevention pressure of warehousing management of imported materials.
In addition to the non-contact logistics distribution service, the reporter learned that the cold chain logistics ultraviolet photocatalytic compound killing machine jointly developed by the team of academician Fu Xianzhi of Fuzhou University and the team of Dr. Chen Jian of Fuxia Technology has been put into use in three Winter Olympic villages and the Capital Gymnasium, which is also the only large-scale surface killing equipment approved for use in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
At present, 9 killing machines have been installed and debugged, which will be used for the security inspection and disinfection of luggage, sports equipment, supporting tools, food and other materials carried by the inbound personnel when entering the village. According to Jian Chen, the device only needs 5 seconds to complete the killing, which has a better killing effect on the new coronavirus on the surface of the smooth impermeable material, and is suitable for the rapid elimination of bulk products.
Oversized luggage smoothly enters the "village"
Luggage transportation services are an important part of the logistics work of the Winter Olympic Games. It is understood that the delegations of the Beijing Winter Olympics have a lot of luggage, and the number of excess luggage is also very large. It is reported that the athletes may carry more than 20,000 pieces of luggage, and the oversized and overweight luggage will reach about 4,000 pieces, which will be assisted by Jingdong Logistics, a logistics service provider of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, and transported to the three competition areas.
The reporter learned from Jingdong Logistics that the streamlines of each venue and non-competition venue need to be confirmed in advance to ensure that there will be no errors and omissions in the process of transportation, so the logistics department has carried out careful design. First of all, it is very important to prepare luggage tags for athletes from all over the world, which are divided into country tags and zone tags. The country label is displayed in Chinese and English, the competition label represents the three divisions of Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou in three colors, then these labels will be sent to athletes from all over the world in advance, and they will stick to their luggage, when these luggage arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport, they will be classified in detail according to the country and the competition area, and the logistics staff can accurately put the athlete's luggage code in a dedicated location according to these labels and transport them to their destination in a unified manner.
In addition to the sports equipment such as snowboards, ice hockey clubs, ice caps, skates, ice knives, etc., there are warm-up equipment such as massage beds, so there are many oversized luggage. The logistics department has specially designed transport vehicles for excess luggage, which are made up of some of the original basic vehicles for transformation and splicing, and will be restored to their original functions after the end of the event to serve other logistics and transportation support.
After the luggage arrives at the airport, it is transported from the airport to the Winter Olympic Village where each player is located. The three Winter Olympic villages will all be equipped with intelligent unmanned delivery vehicles to reduce human-to-person contact and improve work efficiency.
tale
The "arena" of two logistics service providers
Behind the success of the Winter Olympics, there are many obscure figures, and logistics service providers are one of them.
New position of courier brother
"In the past, at this time, I was busy transporting the New Year goods that everyone bought, but this year I am holding a different position." As a courier brother who has won the National May Day Labor Medal and the title of National Model Worker, Song Xuewen has a new position and new responsibilities - the logistics supervisor of the Jingdong Logistics Capital Stadium venue group operation team.
"Different from our daily distribution and delivery work, our main job at The First Body is the handling and installation of furniture and the service guarantee on site. In the past, small packages were delivered, but now many are furniture such as large tables and cabinets or equipment such as computers and printers. Song Xuewen said, "Many things are particularly heavy and need to be carried and placed." In particular, the elevator of the first body is relatively small, the stairs are relatively narrow, the door is not large, and many large items are often split, moved back and forth several times and then assembled. ”
The heavy responsibility of the logistics supervisor
Li Danyang's team's main job every day is to transport 300-500 items that are larger, heavier and more difficult to carry, but the situation they face is more complicated.
"Working here requires full armament, cotton hats, earcups, down jackets, gloves, down pants, non-slip shoes, not a single one." As the logistics supervisor of Jingdong Logistics National Alpine Ski Center, Li Danyang is mainly responsible for all logistics-related work in the venue, including the handling and landing of various event materials in the designated locations in the venue, the arrival and unloading of overseas media material containers, and the distribution of epidemic prevention materials.
"According to the epidemic prevention policy of the organizing committee, the venue is divided into two areas, closed loop and closed loop, and personnel and materials in the two areas are independently circulated and do not intersect. Both the logistics operation within and outside the closed loop is done by me and the team. Li Danyang said that the alpine ski center is located on a high mountain at an altitude of two thousand meters, and the snow is thick and windy, which also determines the harsh working conditions for them.
Every time they were transported, Li Danyang and the team had to cross the snow track, and the thick non-slip shoes worn on their feet would be soaked with snow, and only in the wind could they take off their shoes and socks by the wind to dry them. When handling overseas arrivals, they wear protective clothing, wear goggles and other professional protective equipment to disinfect the arrived materials. In order to keep warm every day, they all wear very thick clothes, wear protective equipment, and often sweat after work.
"At present, in accordance with the epidemic prevention policy, we implement a 'dynamic epidemic prevention' system in the closed loop, that is, our work needs to be completed within the specified time window, which has higher requirements for our work efficiency and personnel organization ability." However, everyone is very energetic. Li Danyang said heartily.
