(Summary description)　　In recent years, with the continuous advancement of Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing and the rapid development of e-commerce, the demand for smart logistics technology has risen sharply, and the market scale has continued to expand. Industry statistics show that the scale of the automated logistics system market has grown rapidly from less than 2 billion yuan in 2001 to 42.5 billion yuan in 2014. It is expected that it will exceed 100 billion yuan in 2020 and will maintain a rapid growth rate of more than 15% in the next few years increase. 　　The realization of factory automation and intelligent manufacturing is inseparable from the support of intelligent logistics systems, and the development of intelligent logistics is inseparable from informatization. A large amount of data and information collection and transmission need to rely on the core equipment of sensors. It can be said that sensors are the basic products of the entire logistics system, especially smart sensors that can be integrated with big data and factory automation, and can achieve information interaction through the Internet or "cloud". They have become the key technology and equipment for the development of smart logistics. . Therefore, the rapid development of the smart logistics market is increasing the demand for sensors, especially smart sensors, and promoting the further development of sensor technology.   The extension of sensor is becoming more and more intelligent 　　The sensor (transducer/sensor) is a detection device that can feel the information of the measured item, and can transform the information into electrical signals or other required forms of information output according to a certain law, so as to meet the needs of information transmission, processing, and storage , Display, record and control requirements. With the rise of the Internet of Things and the maturity of technology, the world is setting off a revolution in smart manufacturing and industrial Internet of Things. The system based on the cyber physical system CPS (Cyber Physical System) is building a value chain organization between physics, people, information, and cross-enterprise. With the combination of digital technology and Internet technology, smart factories have emerged and are further driven With the rapid development of smart logistics and other fields, core technologies such as sensors, cloud computing, and low-power wide-area Internet of Things communications have also ushered in rapid development as important drivers.     　　As an autonomous input device for intelligent equipment to perceive external environmental information, sensors play a role in technology traction and scene upgrades for the application of intelligent equipment. Relevant data show that the current global sensor market capacity is about 3 billion to 5 billion, and it will reach 100 billion by 2020. 　　Based on the importance of sensor technology and its wide application in various industries, the China Sensor and Internet of Things Industry Alliance held the "2016 China (Shanghai) International Sensor Technology and Application Exhibition (Sensor China Expo&Conference2016)" on September 12, showing The latest development and innovative application of sensor technology, and the opening ceremony of SensorChina was held with the theme of "Global Intelligent Manufacturing Conference". 　　Many guests at the meeting mentioned that the extension of the sensor is constantly expanding. It is not only a simple detector that converts physical signals into electrical signals, but also a data exchange. All the data can be considered as sensors. Such as data identification sensors (data identification), bar codes, RFID, voice and other emerging sensors. Moreover, these sensor devices are further connected to collect information to generate data, and connect to the cloud. In the powerful smart sensor network, rich applications are realized through big data mining technology, and finally achieve the purpose of improving operational efficiency. At the same time, Help customers develop a variety of new applications in depth, which is the current industry's understanding of the future extension of smart sensors. In other words, sensors not only mean the collection and interconnection of data, but also the optimization of processes and operations by providing innovative solutions, and improving business decision-making by identifying and mining data.   Sensors are the foundation of smart logistics 　　As a new growth point of the national economy, logistics is in a stage of rapid development. The transformation of traditional industries to the Internet and the rapid rise of e-commerce have brought great development opportunities to logistics. But at the same time, logistics is facing a series of new challenges, such as the challenges of omni-channel retail, explosive growth in order volume, loss of personnel and training, cost control, safety, etc., and optimization of warehousing operati
