Abstract

The Gross Merchandise Volume for the China's Singles day event in 2019 is about $38.4 billion. More than 500 million customers placed about 1.3 billion orders a day, and the related delivery volume is 2.8 billion. The main technologies associated with the 4th Industrial Revolution are bringing about a big change in the logistics industry. The purpose of this study is to present implications by reviewing the main technologies which are applied to China's Singles day event, the introduction of smart logistics in China, and analyzing the progress of Singles day, smart system of Alibaba, its significance. China still has poor infrastructure in non-capital areas. And many Chinese companies are actively introducing and developing smart logistics to cover the vast continental area of China. Singles Day is a representative case in point where the smart logistics and main technologies related to 4th Industrial Revolution are applied. The data obtained through smart logistics would be reused for inventory management, production planning, and order processing, contributing to the optimization of the company's operations. In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, domestic companies and governments need to make efforts to expand the introduction of smart logistics to secure competitiveness with global advanced companies.

2019년 진행된 광군제의 하루 총 거래액은 약 384억 달러(한화 약 44.6조 원)이며, 하루 동안 5억 명의 이용자가 약 13억 건의 주문을 진행했고, 관련된 택배 물류량이 28억 건에 달했다. 4차 산업 혁명과 함께 주요 기술은 물류 산업에 획기적인 변화를 가져오고 있다. 본 연구는 중국의 광군제 행사에 적용되는 4차 산업혁명의 주요 기술과 중국 스마트 물류의 도입을 검토하고, 광군제의 발전 경과, 의의, 알리바바의 시스템, 미래 발전방향 등의 분석을 통해 시사점을 제시하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 중국은 비도심 지역에서 여전히 열악한 인프라 환경을 갖고 있으며, 많은 중국 기업들은 넓은 중국 면적을 커버하기 위하여 스마트 물류를 적극적으로 도입, 발전시키고 있다. 광군제는 4차 산업혁명의 주요 기술과 스마트 물류가 적용되고 있는 대표적 사례이다. 스마트 물류를 통해 확보된 데이터는 재고관리, 생산계획, 주문처리 등에 다시 활용되고 기업의 운영 최적화에 기여한다. 4차 산업혁명 시대에 글로벌 선진기업과의 경쟁력 확보를 위해서 스마트 물류의 도입 확대를 위한 국내 기업과 정부의 노력이 필요하다.
