01 / Overview

A logistics hub is a group of logistics facilities and a logistics activity organization center that centrally realizes multiple functions such as cargo distribution, storage, distribution, and transportation. The "Strategy for the Construction of Modern Logistics Infrastructure System in Shenzhen (2021-2035) and Recent Action Plan" clearly states that, guided by improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency, the overall positioning of building a multi-level, multi-mode, multi-functional, and multi format global logistics hub city is focused on creating three centers: the Global Supply Chain Management Service Center, the International Logistics Transfer Center, and the National Logistics Innovation Application Center.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
