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.
這家在線購物巨頭週三表示，亞馬遜（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）將部署1000輛採用新的人工智能解決方案的Rivian製造的（納斯達克股票代碼：RIVN）電動送貨車，以幫助其送貨助手找到正確的包裹並節省每次交付時間。
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.
發生了什麼：亞馬遜已將解決方案命名爲視覺輔助包裹檢索或VAPR。該公司表示，有了VAPR，送貨司機不必手動檢查以確保他們有正確的包裹；他們只需尋找VAPR的綠燈即可。
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.
到達交付地點後，VAPR將在所有要現場交付的包裹上投射綠色的 「O」，在其餘包裹上投射一個紅色 「X」。亞馬遜表示，該系統將通過視聽線索告知司機已經找到了正確的包裹，司機只需從貨運區拿起開綠燈的包裹，而不必手動驗證他們是否有正確的包裹。

VAPR 使用一種名爲亞馬遜機器人識別 (AR-ID) 的計算機視覺形式，它取代了手動條形碼掃描的需求。AR-ID 最初是爲配送中心設計的，旨在幫助在裝載庫存時自動識別商品。亞馬遜表示，它可以實時定位和解密多個條碼，並針對貨車內環境進行了優化。
Rivian-Amazon Partnership: VAPR will be deployed on 1000 Rivian-made electric delivery vans by early 2025, the online retailer said.
裏維安與亞馬遜的合作伙伴關係：這家在線零售商表示，到2025年初，VAPR將部署在Rivian製造的1000輛電動送貨車上。
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.
亞馬遜已承諾到2030年從這家電動汽車初創公司購買10萬輛送貨車。7月，亞馬遜表示，它已經在美國各地部署了超過15,000輛Rivian貨車，這些貨車已經交付了超過800萬個包裹。
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.
但是，本月早些時候，Rivian將其年度產量預測下調了多達18％，至47,000至49,000輛電動汽車，理由是零部件短缺導致生產中斷。
The component, it said, is used in both the company's R1 vehicles and its commercial vans.
它說，該組件用於該公司的R1汽車及其商用貨車。
"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.
該公司表示：「這種供應短缺的影響始於今年第三季度，最近幾周變得更加嚴重，並且還在繼續，」 該公司沒有透露更多細節。
