Description

A method and system for remote monitoring of express parcels

technical field

The invention relates to the field of intelligent monitoring of express parcels, and relates to a method and system for remote monitoring of express parcels.

technical background

In recent years, with the economic development and the popularization of e-commerce, online shopping has become one of the main consumption methods of netizens. According to data released by the China Internet Network Information Center, the number of Internet users in my country has exceeded 500 million. At the same time, due to the improvement of Internet users' acceptance of online shopping and the maturity of online payment methods, thousands of online shopping websites have emerged as the times require.

The scale of China's e-commerce market will surpass that of the United States in 2015, and China has become the country with the largest number of Internet users in the world. At present, the number of online consumers in China has reached 145 million, ranking second in the world, second only to the 170 million in the United States. With the increase of personal income and the gradual improvement of online shopping experience, China's online shopping spending is expected to show a rapid growth trend in the next five years.

By 2015, e-commerce sales will account for 7.4% of China's total retail sales, up from the current 3.3%. Based on the current compound annual growth rate of 33%, the sales volume of China's online shopping market is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan in 2015. By then, China will overtake the United States to become the world's largest e-commerce market. In the next five years, nearly half of Chinese urban consumers will shop online and offline at the same time, and urban consumers contribute 80% of China's GDP every year. Express delivery can provide the most economical, cheap, and "Door to door" logistics services. According to statistics, from 2000 to 2015, the daily express shipments nationwide increased from 1 million to 10 million. As a fast-growing industry, the express delivery industry is rapidly changing people's consumption patterns and lifestyles. However, compared with the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, the development of express delivery companies in my country is still relatively backward. For a long time, chaos such as lost shipments, delayed shipments, violent sorting, and claim disputes still exist Courier service is difficult to satisfy consumers. According to the data released by the State Post Bureau: In November 2014, more than 95% of complaints about express delivery were accepted through the "12305" postal industry consumer complaint telephone and the State Post Bureau website. At the same time, from the evaluation of customers on Taobao, it can be found that the logistics system of express delivery cannot meet the needs of customers in terms of service attitude and quality. There are also more and more problems in the process of express delivery, such as loss, damage, and even dropped packages. It will not help to find out these problems after signing for the receipt, and it will be unfavorable to solve them through legal means afterwards due to the lack of corresponding evidence. consumer. Due to insufficient protection of express packaging and unexpected factors in the express delivery process, the above problems have occurred, which not only damages the reputation of the express delivery industry, but also causes unnecessary losses to consumers. The current express packaging bags are only filled with foam plastics and other fillers, which are primitive and not safe enough, and they cannot be effectively monitored and effective emergency measures should be taken in the event of an accident.
