Logistics engineering refers to the issues of design, testing, manufacturing, equipment, technology, and information in the packaging, transportation, warehousing, handling, and sales of logistics systems [1]. It includes hardware technology, software technology and management technology. As an important activity in logistics activities, packaging plays an important role in reducing logistics costs and improving logistics efficiency. Therefore, packaging must be placed in the logistics system to be studied. The article attempts to elaborate the new direction of the development of packaging and packaging engineering from the perspective of logistics engineering system, from the role of packaging to logistics and the development of logistics to the new requirements of packaging.
1 package engineering logistics role <br> package has a special position in the whole logistics activities [2]. In the production and distribution process, the packaging is at the end of the production process and the beginning of the logistics process, which is both the end of production and the beginning of the logistics process. Packaging is the basis of logistics activities. Without packaging, it is almost impossible to achieve other logistics activities. If the loading and unloading requirements of the package have good structural characteristics, not only the loading and unloading operation, but also can reduce the impact and vibration caused by loading and unloading handling; the transport process requires a good buffering transport packaging to ensure that the loss during transport is minimized; During the process, packaging is required to protect against moisture, insects, and a certain stacking strength to ensure that the product performance during storage is not affected; circulation processing requires that the package has a good performance of reconciliation and re-sealing, so that the circulation process can be carried out smoothly; The role of packaging in the sales process is self-evident. In the entire logistics activity, accompanied by information flow, the transmission of this information is largely accomplished by the logo of the shipping package and the bar code of the sales package. Therefore, the packaging runs through the entire logistics process, and its materials, forms, methods, and shape design all have an important impact on other logistics links.
From this it can be seen that if there is no support for scientific packing methods, reasonable packaging forms and advanced packaging techniques for the modern logistics system, the modern logistics chain will fail or break; in turn, the development of modern logistics will put forward the packaging engineering technology. higher requirement.
The main research direction 2 of Package Engineering Discipline <br> packaging materials and packaging projects include technology, packaging container design and manufacturing, packaging CAD, packaging machinery, packaging, process automation, transport packaging, packaging and printing technology.
Due to the increasing complexity of modern economic activities and logistics system technologies, the problems that modern packaging engineering disciplines must study and solve are more complex than ever. Therefore, how to make packaging engineering technology better serve the logistics engineering system is a packaging technology and The main issues that educators will study in the future.
3 modern logistics requirements for new packaging engineering technology <br> modern logistics is a matter of packaging, handling, storage, inventory management, distribution processing, transportation, distribution, and many other activities organic combination of a complete supply chain, to provide users with more than Functional, integrated, integrated services [3]. As an important part of modern logistics, packaging faces the rapid development of logistics engineering, and packaging engineering has ushered in new opportunities and new requirements.
a. Packaging intelligent requirements. One of the basic conditions for the development and management of logistics informatization is the intelligentization of packaging, because in the course of logistics activities, the transmission of information is mostly carried by packaging. In other words, if the amount of information on the packaging is insufficient or wrong, it will directly affect the activities of logistics management. With the increasing degree of logistics information, in addition to the information indicating the quantity, weight, product name, manufacturer, shelf life, and storage and storage conditions of the contents, packaging should also be affixed with product barcodes, circulation barcodes, etc. in order to achieve electronic data exchange. (EDl). Intelligent information packaging is a powerful medium for forming logistics information management. (To be continued)
