你好，The Nanjinger | 这个双十一有“小黄人”！

Whoever comes here is a "Nanjinger"!来了就是“南京人”！编者按

一年一度的“双十一”又要来了，相信很多人的购物车已经装得满满的就等着付款了吧。除了抢到优惠商品，最开心的就是收包裹了。为了让大家尽快收到快递，今年南京邮政新上线了350台AGV搬运机器人，俗称“小黄人”，分拣效率在1.2-1.5万件/小时。不仅有效节约人工成本，也让邮件处理效率得以提升。

究竟“小黄人”是如何工作的呢？来看看我们的外国朋友Frank的介绍吧。

第三期故事

The third story

There is just no escaping those lovely Minions, is there? This year, our little yellow friends are lending a helping hand in the sorting and delivery of the millions, if not billions, of packages that are the result of the Double-11 Shopping Festival.

今年为了应对双十一购物节，南京邮政请了许多可爱的“小黄人朋友”帮忙分拣和运送数以百万计的包裹。

Just as in western countries, whereby November sees the Christmas decorations and promotions start to appear, and shops begin their “new year” sales, so it is with China. With shipment volumes rising steadily for much of the last month ahead of Double 11, Nanjing’s postal services have been utilising a fleet of Minions in its sorting operations.

就像西方国家一样，每年11月，圣诞装饰和促销活动开始出现，各家商店开始他们的“新年”销售，中国也是如此。在“双11”之前的一个月里，随着发货量稳步增长，南京邮政服务一直在利用这样的一支小分队进行分拣工作。

The Minions, known by their abbreviated form, AGV, are Automated Guided Vehicles that are taking the brunt of the work in sorting packages in the 1,500 square-metre Nanjing Post Central Bureau. 350 of the little devils are hard at work therein; they each do a 4-hour shift and then charge/rest for just 5 minutes. The team can handle 12,000 packages per hour.

这些被简称为AGV的“小黄人”是自动导航车辆，在占地1500平方米的南京邮政中心里分拣包裹时，它们发挥了重要的作用。每个“小黄人”轮班4小时，然后充电/休息5分钟。这个团队每小时可以处理12000个包裹。

With the aim of achieving next-day delivery in 52 key cities across the country, the Minions are fulfilling a vital role. It is a vast concerted effort, assisted by personnel, location and vehicular reserves; more than 500 temporary employees, 120 vehicles (including new-energy vehicles) and nearly 8,000 square metres of processing centres/warehouses in Nanjing alone have been leased to effectively supplement production and processing capacity.

为了在全国52个重点城市实现包裹次日送达，“小黄人”发挥了至关重要的作用。这是一个庞大的团队协同努力的过程，（中国邮政）仅在南京就租赁了500多名临时工、120辆汽车(包括新能源汽车)和近8000平方米的加工中心/仓库，有效地补充了生产和加工能力。

The Double-11 Shopping Festival is still 2 days away, but shipment volumes in the Nanjing’s Post Office are already that of the 2018 peak. Just as well there is always a Minion around when you need one.

距离双十一购物节还有2天，但南京邮局的发货量已经达到了2018年的峰值。当你需要一个“小黄人”的时候，总会有一个“小黄人”在你身边。
