JD LOGISTICS UNVEILS PHASE 2 OF ITS KUNSHAN INTELLIGENT LOGISTICS PARK IN JIANGSU
June 14, 2023

JD Logistics, the logistics arm of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, has announced the launch of phase 2 of its Kunshan Asia No.1 Intelligent Logistics Park in Jiangsu province, China.

 

In a statement, it said that with a floor area of over 500,000 square meters, combined with the existing phase 1, JD's Kunshan Asia No.1 Intelligent Logistics Park "now stands as the world's largest intelligent logistics park," equipped with cutting-edge integrated warehousing and sorting capabilities.

 

The facility is capable of sorting an industry-leading 4.5 million parcels per day.

The Kunshan Asia No.1 Intelligent Logistics Park is an automatic sorting centre with more than 80 sorting lines and a fleet of 10,000 intelligent sorting robots, which ensure a sorting accuracy rate of 99.99%.

 

During peak seasons such as JD's 618 Grand Promotion, China's largest mid-year shopping festival, the sorting centre operates around the clock, processing over 4.5 million parcels per day.

 

Five-fold increase in efficiency

 

JD Logistics noted that this five-fold increase in efficiency, compared to traditional methods, sets an industry benchmark, establishing the Kunshan Asia No.1 Intelligent Logistics Park as a global leader in logistics operations.

 

It added that with the launch of Phase 2 of the Logistics Park, JD's logistics network now ensures over 93% of JD's retail orders from the East China region, spanning Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui can be delivered same-day or next-day, covering a population of 200 million people.

 

In October 2014, JD.com inaugurated its inaugural Asia No.1 intelligent logistics park in Shanghai.

 

Today, JD.com has established numerous logistics hubs across China, forming what it said is "Asia's most extensive group of intelligent warehousing facilities."
 
This is complemented by JD's warehousing network, consisting of over 1,500 warehouses — allowing the company to guarantee that orders placed before 11:00 AM will be delivered the same day, while orders placed before 11:00 PM will arrive the following day to almost every corner of China.
 
JD Logistics said it is also replicating elements of its logistics operation overseas.

 

In February 2023, the company launched its third warehouse in California, U.S., growing the company's footprint to over 1.3 million square feet of warehousing space throughout the state.
