Logistics automation refers to the automation of equipment and facilities in the logistics operation process, including operation processes such as transportation, loading and unloading, packaging, sorting, and identification, such as automatic identification systems, automatic detection systems, automatic sorting systems, automatic access systems, and automatic tracking systems.

Logistics automation is the process of making full use of various mechanical and transportation equipment, computer systems, and comprehensive operation coordination and other technical means, through the overall planning and technical application of logistics systems, to make logistics related operations and content labor-saving, efficient, and reasonable, and to complete logistics quickly, accurately, and reliably.

Facilities for logistics automation include automatic barcode identification system, automatic guided vehicle system (AGVS), and automatic cargo tracking system (such as GPS). Logistics automation includes: information guidance system; Automatic sorting system; Automatic barcode identification system; Automatic speech recognition system; Radio frequency automatic identification system; Automatic access system; Automatic cargo tracking system. Logistics automation plays an important role in all levels of logistics management. It includes various soft and hard technologies such as logistics planning, logistics information technology, and automatic logistics systems. Logistics automation plays a very important role in all walks of life in the national economy, with profound development potential. As research efforts continue to increase, logistics automation technology will further develop in terms of informatization and greening, and its various technical equipment (such as three-dimensional warehouses, etc.) and management software will also receive greater development and application.
