As an emerging cross-border e-commerce market, Southeast Asia has fast-growing e-commerce users and transaction volume, attracting attention from all over the world. During the Double 12 shopping festival in 2022, many famous e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia experienced unprecedented sales peaks. The sales records set by these platforms and the quantity of participants show that Southeast Asia’s e-commerce industry is in a skyrocketing stage.
Following the craze in 2022, many of Southeast Asia’s e-commerce platforms once again refreshed multiple performance records on the day of the Double 12 shopping festival in 2023. According to reports, a well-known cross-border e-commerce platform achieved remarkable results. The cross-border live streaming orders increased nearly 54 times, surpassing 12,000,000 orders within the first 2 minutes of the event. New cross-border sellers experienced a highlight moment towards the end of the year, with order quantities reaching 24 times higher than usual. Cross-border brands also delivered outstanding results, exceeding 7 times their usual performance.
However, as sales continue to grow, especially during year-end peak sales seasons such as Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Double 12, and Christmas, problems faced by overseas warehouses are becoming increasingly apparent. Problems such as insufficient storage space, high labor costs, low transfer efficiency, and cargo jams directly affect logistics efficiency and the customer experience, further affecting the brand image and reputation of e-commerce platforms.
To help a well-known cross-border e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia solve these warehousing problems, Wayzim, empowered by its technology and experience in intelligent warehousing, used a combination of AMRs and management software after understanding the actual requirements and difficulties of the customer.
The combination solution replaced manual handling and realised automated intelligent warehousing. Wayzim AMRs can automatically plan the optimal path and work continuously for 24 hours a day. The AMRs are equipped with laser SLAM navigation systems to help them cope with highly dynamic environments without setting markers. The AMRs also support autonomous map updating, with a navigation accuracy of ±10 mm.
These extraordinary technical performances enable Wayzim AMRs to realise the transformation of the warehouse management model from “people to goods” to “goods to people”, effectively improving the level and efficiency of warehousing automation, and also significantly reducing labor costs. The AMRs can quickly and continuously cope with a large quantity of orders during peak seasons, thereby avoiding delays caused by insufficient manpower.
Wayzim AMRs can be customised to adapt to different warehousing environments: large warehouses that have large cargo flows and require high efficiency, and small and medium warehouses that have diverse goods and require flexibility. The customisation capability for different warehouse sizes, together with the flexibility in navigation and operation models, enables the AMRs to better alleviate labor pressure during peak periods and give full play to the advantages of intelligent warehousing.
In important promotions such as the Double 12 shopping festival, the warehousing capacity directly determines the order delivery efficiency and customer experience. By providing the AMR solution to this customer, Wayzim effectively alleviated its warehousing pressure and helped it successfully cope with the huge order volume during peak periods. The successful application of Wayzim’s AMR solution laid a solid foundation for the success of the Double 12 shopping festival and fully verified the application value of Wayzim’s products at major shopping festivals.
It is also worth mentioning that this project has been selected into the 2022-2023 China Mobile Robot Industry Benchmark Case Collection as the sole benchmark case in cross-border e-commerce, fully reflecting the industry’s high recognition for Wayzim’s technology and innovation capabilities in cross-border e-commerce.
In the future, with the continuous expansion of global e-commerce market, the demand for intelligent warehousing will continue to grow. Wayzim will continue to optimise products and services based on its successful experience in the Southeast Asian market and provide more efficient, intelligent automation solutions for warehouses of different sizes. In addition, Wayzim will also expand the application of AMRs and the technology of AMRs in the manufacturing and third-party logistics fields, providing comprehensive intelligent warehousing and logistics support to global customers.
