About

Linwei Xin is a leading researcher in operations research, with a focus on the design and optimization of intelligent logistics systems, particularly in e-commerce and supply chain management. His most notable contribution is his work on the algorithms that power JD.com’s intelligent warehouse robots, a breakthrough that helped transform same-day delivery from a premium service into a standard expectation in China’s B2C e-commerce sector. His highly cited 2022 paper (63 citations) details how operations research algorithms were deployed to coordinate thousands of autonomous robots, dramatically improving warehouse efficiency and order fulfillment speed. Xin’s research bridges the gap between theoretical optimization and real-world industrial application, demonstrating how advanced analytics can solve complex logistical challenges at scale. His work has had a profound impact on the logistics industry, influencing both academic research and practical operations. Beyond this flagship study, Xin continues to explore the intersection of AI, robotics, and operations management, making him a key figure in the ongoing evolution of smart supply chains.
