During the period under review, the “Modern Logistics Sensing System Based on RFID and Sensor Network and Key Equipment Industrialization Project”, the special fund for technical results transformation project in Jiangsu Province undertaken by the Group, successfully passed the acceptance. The project established a general data service platform based on the PAAS design with cloud computing technologies. It made breakthroughs in the design technology for EEPROM storage and chips with extra low power consumption and achieved the miniaturization of safe and intelligent locks and the effi cient and safe operation of logistics containers; completed the research and development of cloud test platforms and established a cloud platform and software system for coordinated and automatic testing; established a safety mechanism for RFID electronic labels and chips with the integration of RSA and AES and solved the anti-collision technology for RFID based on code division multiple access, which is used on intelligent locks and reading and writing devices; expanded the depth and width of information sensed by the sensor network and better achieved the real-time monitoring and positioning of changes in the quality of products.

During the period under review, the Group tried to explore businesses related to the big data industry based on its advantages in its own core IOT technologies. Jiangsu Intellitrans Co., Ltd (江蘇智運科技發展有限公司), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, won the bidding for the system integration project of the cloud computing big data industry pilot demonstration base in Sichuan Province, with contract sum of approximately RMB185,000,000. The successful bid for the project realises the fi rst cooperation in the cloud computing big data industry between Sample Technology and China Huawei. Both parties will jointly contribute to the construction of intelligent city in Luzhou City.

# Promoting external exchange and cooperation and further strengthening brand infl uence

During the period under review, the “joint research on the planning design, optimization and application demonstration of city public delivery network”, an international technology cooperation program jointly undertaken by the Group and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (hereafter referred to as the “MIT”), was successfully initiated and will offi cially conduct detailed implementation. The program is based on the existing demands in the express logistics industry in Nanjing. Through the intelligent and optimized logistics delivery simulation platform, it proposes planning and optimization methods on the distributed city logistics delivery network based on the national conditions of China. It also designs the planning of branches at all levels, the equipping of carrying resources, the guidance on driving routes and other strategic advices for logistics operators to achieve the best allocation of overall resources and effi ciency at the municipal level, solve the logistic problems in the last kilometer and provide theoretical and demonstration reference in the effective decision-making in city planning. In the future, the Group will apply the advanced logistic models of the MIT into demonstration projects to achieve the transfer and implementation of advanced technologies of the top university in the world, improve the technical levels in the industrial planning of the logistics industry in China and achieve demonstration application.
