    Changlan Technology: From 'person-to-goods' to 'goods-to-person,' a reconstruction of warehouse operation logic

    Changlan Technology partnered with Galaxis to upgrade its traditional manual forklift warehouse into a 'goods-to-person' model using a four-way pallet shuttle rack system plus AGV transport, with 15 rack levels and storage for no fewer than 1,300 pallets. After the project went into operation, it saved more than 2,200 square meters of warehouse space, raised assembly line efficiency by more than 80%, and achieved daily inventory clearing and settlement. Three software systems—OES, PES, and RCS—handle task decomposition, shuttle scheduling, and AMR fleet traffic control, respectively, supporting fault-tolerant operation that 'degrades efficiency but does not stop the line.'

The industry is shifting from centralized data collection centers to bodyless crowdsourced collection: Mifeng Technology launched the Mifeng Pai platform covering 40 cities, and Figure launched the Index platform with 69,943 weekly active contributors. At the same time, controversies persist over data being subcontracted layer by layer at falling prices, workers' lack of informed consent, and collected data ultimately training robots that replace their own jobs.
