(1) First, reduce the number of warehouses and centralize inventory.

The application of distribution and JIT has enabled some enterprises to achieve zero inventory production. In the future, because the logistics industry will become the warehouse of manufacturing industry and the physical supplier of users, factories and shopping malls will realize zero inventory, and naturally there will be no more warehouses. The inventory in the distribution center will replace the scattered inventory of thousands of households in society.

(2) Secondly, the main form of future logistics nodes is the distribution center.

In the future e-commerce environment, logistics management will be based on time, goods will flow faster, manufacturing industry will realize "zero inventory", and warehouses will be operated by third-party logistics enterprises, all of which determine that "custody warehouses" will be further reduced and "circulation warehouses" will develop into distribution centers. ?

Logistics center has become an organic part of urban functions. Generally speaking, its location should be located at the edge of urban areas and transportation hub nodes. Generally speaking, its location should be at the junction of the edge of the city and the transportation hub.

(3) The integrated logistics center will be integrated with the large distribution center.
