1、Modernlogistics adopts containerization techniques. The goods transfer process startswith packaging, followed by transportation, storage and distribution. The wholeprocess is operated under logistics standards. Based on the logistics basemodule of 600×400mm, form the logistics module of 1,200×1,000mm, and enlarge tothe size of ,591×2,438mm--the size of high×wide of the container. It can beadjusted to the standard sizes of containers for trains, trucks and ships.
2、Itis difficult to define the exact integration as it developed at different ratesacross industrial sectors, countries, and companies. There are still many smalland medium – sized businesses that have not yet adopted fully the principles ofPDM and whose logistics management is still highly decentralized.
3、Pipelines account for one quarterof all domestic intercity fright traffic measured in ton-miles. Pipelines areable to transport only a limited number of products, including natural gas,crude oil, and water recently. Natural gas and crude oil account for themajority of pipeline traffic. Considering the world’s dependence on energyproducts, pipelines will probably become even more important in the future. Thiswill be particularly true for coal slurry, as some countries attempt to shiftaway from natural gas or petroleum – based energy systems toward coal – basedsystems.
