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.
亞馬遜（納斯達克: AMZN）將部署1000輛由Rivian製造的新能源車（納斯達克: RIVN）作爲電子郵件快遞車，並配備一種新的人工智能解決方案，幫助快遞助理找到正確的包裹並節省每次投遞的時間，這家在線購物巨頭週三表示。
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.
發生了什麼: 亞馬遜命名了這個解決方案爲Vision-Assisted Package Retrieval或VAPR。有了VAPR，快遞司機將無需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，該公司表示。
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.
抵達投遞地點時，VAPR將在即將交付的所有包裹上投射一個綠色的"O"，並在剩餘包裹上投射一個紅色的"X"。系統會通過視聽提示告知司機它已經找到了正確的包裹，司機只需從貨物區拿取綠色燈光的包裹，而無需手動確認他們是否拿對了包裹，亞馬遜表示。
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.
VAPR使用一種名爲Amazon Robotics Identification（AR-ID）的計算機視覺形式，以取代手動條形碼掃描的需要。 AR-ID最初是爲了履行中心而設計的，以幫助在存放庫存時自動識別物品。亞馬遜表示，AR-ID能夠在實時中定位和解讀多個條形碼，並針對車內環境進行優化。
Rivian-Amazon Partnership: VAPR will be deployed on 1000 Rivian-made electric delivery vans by early 2025, the online retailer said.
Rivian-亞馬遜合作：在線零售商表示，VAPR將在2025年初部署在1000輛Rivian製造的新能源車上。
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10萬輛交付車輛。今年7月，亞馬遜表示，他們已在美國部署了超過1.5萬輛Rivian麪包車，已遞送了超過80000萬個包裹。
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.
然而，本月早些時候，Rivian將其年度生產預測下調了長達18%，至4.7萬至4.9萬輛電動汽車，原因是受零部件短缺影響的生產中斷。
The component, it said, is used in both the company's R1 vehicles and its commercial vans.
該零部件同時被用於公司的R1車輛和商用麪包車。
"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.
公司表示：「今年第3季度開始的供應短缺影響已在最近幾周變得更加嚴重，並繼續存在，」但未提供更多細節。
