Project Overview
With the rapid evolution of the tobacco supply chain toward intelligent, high-efficiency operations, traditional logistics models are increasingly unable to meet modern distribution demands. To address this challenge, China JSSL Company participated in the planning and optimization of a next-generation regional tobacco logistics center, introducing an innovative integrated carton storage & picking system.
This project successfully eliminates redundant processes, enhances operational efficiency, and establishes a new benchmark for intelligent tobacco logistics.

Industry Challenges
In traditional tobacco logistics systems, operations are typically fragmented into multiple steps:
Pallet storage →Depalletizing →Temporary storage →Manual picking →Sorting & distribution
This results in:
Low efficiency in order processing
High labor dependency
Complex workflows and long operation cycles
Poor coordination between storage and sorting systems
With increasing SKU diversity and order volume, these inefficiencies become even more critical bottlenecks.
