Project Background: Modernization of Rural Logistics in China
Songyang County, located in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China, is renowned for its long history, rich culture, and beautiful natural scenery. However, the region faces typical rural delivery challenges in modern express logistics: high labor dependence, seasonal surges in parcel volume, and continuously rising operating costs. To address these bottlenecks, the Songyang County Joint Distribution Center partnered with YJ-INTL to create an end-to-end intelligent sorting upgrade solution.
Customer Challenges
- High Manual Labor Pressure: Manual feeding and sorting lines faced severe labor shortages and fatigue during peak parcel volumes.
- Energy & Sustainability Goals: Requirement for low-carbon operations to preserve Songyang's local ecology while maintaining high throughput.
- Last-Mile Delivery Costs: High transportation costs in connecting regional logistics hubs with rural distribution points.
YJ-INTL AI-Powered Automation Solution
Yingjie deployed a complete AI-driven unmanned feeding system integrated with smart parcel positioning and last-mile dispatch capabilities. Key engineering components include:
- 3-Zone Feeding Structure & 14 Four-Stage Tables: High-density induction layout designed for continuous parcel processing.
- AI 3D Vision & Dual Robotic Arms: Lightweight robotic arms equipped with bionic suction cup grippers mimic human dexterity, using 3D vision algorithms to identify, center, and place individual parcels onto scanning and weighing conveyances.
- Infrared Ray Positioning: Active infrared sensors auto-center parcels on high-speed lines, eliminating package drops during rapid conveyance.
- Permanent-Magnet Drive Motors: Class-1 energy efficiency architecture cutting power consumption by over 40%.
- Autonomous Fleet Integration: Seamlessly connected to 8 unmanned delivery vehicles for low-cost short-haul express dispatch.

- 1-Year Return on Investment: Lower labor dependency and operational savings allowed full system payback within 12 months.
- >40% Power Reduction: Permanent-magnet motor technology significantly reduced power draw, aligning with green logistics standards.
- Turnkey After-Sales Service: Rapid-response 24/7 technical support ensured zero downtime during high-volume operations.
FAQ
How does 3D vision technology improve robotic parcel feeding accuracy?
The system uses 3D vision cameras combined with deep learning algorithms to analyze package dimensions, shape, and surface orientation in real time. The AI calculates the precise center point and optimal pick angle for the bionic suction-cup robotic arms.
How does infrared positioning prevent package drops during high-speed conveyance?
Yes. The system utilizes active infrared ray positioning and auto-centering mechanisms that detect package alignment on the conveyor belt on the fly, preventing collisions or package drops during high-speed sorting.
What makes Yingjie's sorting system green and energy-saving?
By utilizing Class-1 energy efficiency permanent-magnet motors instead of conventional induction motors, the system cuts electricity consumption by over 40%, significantly lowering operational electricity bills.
What after-sales and engineering support does YJ-INTL offer?
YJ-INTL provides full lifecycle services, including 3D facility planning, custom equipment manufacturing, on-site installation and commissioning, software WMS/WCS integration, operator training, and 24/7 responsive after-sales support.
