A number of practitioners in related fields of cross-border e-commerce recently told reporters that by adopting more intelligent logistics robot system solutions, it may be an effective help to accelerate the development of cross-border e-commerce.
In 2019, China's cross-border e-commerce retail import and export volume reached 186.21 billion yuan, five times that of 2015, with an average annual growth rate of 49.5 percent. Data from the General Administration of Customs shows that China's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports will grow by 31.1 percent in 2020.

It is worth noting that while the growth of cross-border e-commerce imports and exports is bucking the trend, the risks and challenges posed by the epidemic cannot be ignored. Wang Sijie, vice president of Wanyitong (Shanghai) Information Technology Co., Ltd, told reporters that the epidemic has had a great impact on the operation of overseas warehouses. For example, the shortage of manpower in overseas fulfillment centers has led to the tension and chaos of the whole logistics supply chain, but it also provides an opportunity for the accelerated application of intelligent warehousing.

He said the best way to seek service stability is to replace manpower with automation and replace traditional overseas warehouses with smart overseas warehouses, as overseas labor costs continue to rise. "Compared with the traditional overseas warehouse and intelligent overseas warehouse, just like the raw housing and smart home residence, 'quality of life' is certainly not the same."

"Intelligent logistics robot is an important means and basis for realizing intelligent logistics automation solutions." Zheng Yong, founder and CEO of intelligent robot company Geek+, told reporters that cross-border e-commerce's high requirements for timeliness and cost efficiency of logistics, coupled with the industry's business volatility and rapid changes in the market environment, have brought challenges to warehousing and logistics operations in many ways.

He believes that the high cost of overseas labor and the difficulties in recruitment and management have become a common pain point in the industry. The system solution of logistics robots can help cross-border e-commerce enterprises to realize logistics automation and intelligence
