Research on the Situation and Prospect of ICT Application in China Modern Logistics

Abstract:

ICT application has greatly improved the efficiency of logistics and reduced unnecessary costs. But it hasn’t been fully used in Chinese logistics. This paper focuses on how to be more effective in using ICT to construct modern logistic to improve logistics informatization. This paper reviews the lack of ICT application in domestic logistics through reviewing literature, such as oversimplified application of ICT in logistics, the undeveloped application of Internet of Things in logistics, slow development of the Logistics Public Information Platform and general phenomenon of information isolated island. This paper also further analyzes the trends on the domestic ICT application in logistics through literature and recent statistics. Based on the analysis, this paper gives practical advices on fully applying ICT to logistics, including achieving the overall integration of IT and CT, accelerating the construction of public platform with intelligent cloud logistics, strengthening industries cooperation and establishing a government-led mechanisms.
