As millions across the Chinese mainland celebrate the Lunar New Year, Beijing's cutting-edge smart logistics center has emerged as a silent hero of the holiday season. The AI-powered facility, operational since late 2025, is currently processing record volumes of parcels through its fully automated systems.
Equipped with 500 autonomous mobile robots and machine vision sorting systems, the center reduced average delivery times by 40% compared to last year's Spring Festival period. "Our predictive analytics models processed 15 million historical data points to optimize holiday operations," said facility director Zhang Wei during a recent press briefing.
The timing proves crucial as e-commerce platforms report a 28% year-on-year increase in last-minute gift orders. Automated packaging stations now handle 12,000 parcels hourly, while temperature-controlled zones ensure safe transport of traditional holiday foods like niangao rice cakes and preserved meats.
This technological leap comes as China's logistics sector faces growing demands from both domestic consumption and cross-border e-commerce. Industry analysts note the Beijing model could set new standards for major Asian markets preparing for similar seasonal surges.
