Amazon To Deploy AI-Powered Package Identifying Tech On 1000 Rivian Delivery Vans For Faster Deliveries
VAPR uses a form of computer vision called Amazon Robotics Identification (AR-ID) which replaces the need for manual barcode scanning. AR-ID was originally devised for fulfillment centers to help automatically identify items while stowing inventory. It locates and deciphers multiple barcodes in real-time and is optimized for an in-van environment, Amazon said. Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) will deploy 1000 of its Rivian-manufactured (NASDAQ:RIVN) electric delivery vans with a new AI-powered solution to help its delivery assistants spot the right package and save time per delivery, the online shopping giant said on Wednesday.
亚马逊（纳斯达克: AMZN）将部署1000辆由Rivian制造的新能源车（纳斯达克: RIVN）作为电子邮件快递车，并配备一种新的人工智能解决方案，帮助快递助理找到正确的包裹并节省每次投递的时间，这家在线购物巨头周三表示。
What Happened: Amazon has named the solution Vision-Assisted Package Retrieval or VAPR. With VAPR, delivery drivers will not have to check manually to ensure that they have the right package; they can simply look for VAPR's green light, the company said.
发生了什么: 亚马逊命名了这个解决方案为Vision-Assisted Package Retrieval或VAPR。有了VAPR，快递司机将无需手动检查以确保他们有正确的包裹；他们只需寻找VAPR的绿灯，该公司表示。
On arriving at a delivery location, VAPR will project a green "O" on all the packages to be delivered at the spot and a red "X" on the remaining packages. The system will inform the driver that it has found the right packages with audio-visual cues and the driver can simply grab the green-lighted parcels from the cargo area instead of manually verifying whether they have the right package, Amazon said.
抵达投递地点时，VAPR将在即将交付的所有包裹上投射一个绿色的"O"，并在剩余包裹上投射一个红色的"X"。系统会通过视听提示告知司机它已经找到了正确的包裹，司机只需从货物区拿取绿色灯光的包裹，而无需手动确认他们是否拿对了包裹，亚马逊表示。

VAPR使用一种名为Amazon Robotics Identification（AR-ID）的计算机视觉形式，以取代手动条形码扫描的需要。 AR-ID最初是为了履行中心而设计的，以帮助在存放库存时自动识别物品。亚马逊表示，AR-ID能够在实时中定位和解读多个条形码，并针对车内环境进行优化。
Rivian-Amazon Partnership: VAPR will be deployed on 1000 Rivian-made electric delivery vans by early 2025, the online retailer said.
Rivian-亚马逊合作：在线零售商表示，VAPR将在2025年初部署在1000辆Rivian制造的新能源车上。
Amazon has committed to purchasing 100,000 delivery vans from the EV startup by 2030. In July, Amazon said that it already has over 15,000 Rivian vans deployed across the U.S. which have delivered over 800 million packages.
亚马逊已承诺到2030年从这家电动汽车初创公司购买10万辆交付车辆。今年7月，亚马逊表示，他们已在美国部署了超过1.5万辆Rivian面包车，已递送了超过80000万个包裹。
However, earlier this month, Rivian cut its annual production forecast by as much as 18% to between 47,000 and 49,000 electric vehicles citing production disruption owing to a component shortage.
然而，本月早些时候，Rivian将其年度生产预测下调了长达18%，至4.7万至4.9万辆电动汽车，原因是受零部件短缺影响的生产中断。
The component, it said, is used in both the company's R1 vehicles and its commercial vans.
该零部件同时被用于公司的R1车辆和商用面包车。
"This supply shortage impact began in Q3 of this year, has become more acute in recent weeks and continues," the company said, without giving more details.
公司表示：“今年第3季度开始的供应短缺影响已在最近几周变得更加严重，并继续存在，”但未提供更多细节。
