JINGDONG Industrials, the industrial supply chain arm of JD*com, has announced a major upgrade to its proprietary large language model, JoyIndustrial, marking a shift from basic AI tools to advanced “AI Industry Experts.” The new 2.0 system is designed to manage complex, end-to-end industrial processes—including product selection, logistics, and after-sales services—by integrating deep industry knowledge with advanced algorithms. The company says the upgrade enables greater efficiency across the supply chain while reducing costs and improving compliance.

Early applications of the technology are already delivering measurable gains. Tools such as IndLens have significantly accelerated industrial data processing, while an AI shopping guide has reduced procurement decision times and error rates. Meanwhile, Jingbei Cloud enables remote inspections, cutting travel needs and boosting operational efficiency. Looking ahead, JINGDONG Industrials plans to evolve the system into an “AI Superbrain,” aiming to build a fully integrated digital infrastructure for industrial operations over the next five years.

JD Logistics outlined how its LangzuTech Goods-to-Person (G2P) system is reshaping smart warehousing by shifting fulfillment from fixed capacity to elastic, demand-driven operations.

The LangzuTech Tote Handling System is a fully integrated G2P solution combining tote-handling AGVs, lifting robots, high-density 3D racking, automated inbound and picking stations, and closed-loop tote returns. By utilizing up to 12 meters of clear height, the system significantly increases storage density and reduces unit warehousing costs. Unlike traditional category-zoned warehouses, it supports multi-SKU and multi-category storage within a single tote, improving efficiency for complex, mixed-order fulfillment.

A key feature is its modular, zone-based deployment. Warehouses can roll out automation in phases and scale capacity up or down by adding or redeploying robots and workstations as demand changes. This approach lowers upfront investment, minimizes disruption to live operations, and accelerates return on investment, fundamentally altering the cost structure of fulfillment.

The system has been deployed across apparel, pharmaceuticals, electronics, FMCG, and full-category warehouses. In apparel operations, it has delivered five- to sixfold improvements in inbound shelving efficiency and supported daily outbound peaks exceeding 30,000 orders without expanding warehouse footprint. In pharmaceutical environments, it combines efficiency with compliance, achieving up to four times storage density, 99% picking accuracy, and up to 50% reductions in per-order handling costs, while enabling full traceability and automated monitoring for regulated products.

As part of JD*com’s global logistics expansion, LangzuTech has entered large-scale replication and deployment. With more than 130 overseas, bonded, and direct-mail facilities worldwide, JD Logistics positions the system as a standardized yet flexible automation foundation to support efficient, resilient, and sustainable supply chains across diverse markets.
