Cainiao opens global warehouse network as a testing ground for embodied AI

According to the information agency Dunyo, a logistics center has been established in Poland between Poland and Uzbekistan. This hub is located within ATT Logistics company and is intended to increase bilateral trade and facilitate the delivery of Uzbek products to European markets.

The creation of this center was part of a visit by a delegation of Uzbek entrepreneurs to Poland, which was organized with the support of a European Union grant project.

ATT Logistics is based in Mazowieckie Voivodeship and specializes in international freight transport both across the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The company owns over 100 Euro 6 trucks and has warehouse facilities totaling over 15,000 square meters, of which 1,000 square meters have been allocated for the new hub.

The new site is designed to accelerate the supply of Uzbek goods to Europe and expand their sales opportunities through major retail chains in Central and Eastern Europe.

During the business mission, the Uzbek delegation met with Jacek Czerniak, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland, representatives of the National Centre for Agricultural Support (KOWR), the state water management body Wody Polskie, and other organizations.

Entrepreneurs also visited several Polish industrial and trade companies to study their production capacities and technologies. The visit included enterprises such as Pronar, a manufacturer of agricultural and municipal machinery; Dary Natury, which produces organic products and medicinal herbs; Verifis, a manufacturer of modular furniture systems; and MOSCIBRODY, a meat processing company.

Separate negotiations were held with the management of the regional retail chain Topaz, where the parties discussed import and export opportunities, as well as the potential for joint projects.

A working meeting took place in Białystok at the Association of Carriers of Podlasie. The meeting was attended by Stefan Kraevsky, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland, the Uzbek delegation, and representatives of major regional logistics companies. Participants discussed the need to diversify transport and logistics corridors, jointly addressed freight transport issues, and accelerated access for Uzbek products to the European market.

According to Dunyo, this business mission laid the foundation for strengthening trade and economic ties between the Tashkent Region and the regions of Poland, contributing to the expansion of industrial cooperation and the development of new joint projects.

At the iFLYTEK Global Developer Festival 2026, held in Beijing on October 22, the company introduced a suite of tools for creating and deploying artificial intelligence agents on its open platform. In addition to the Spark X2.6 model, Agent OS, a platform for enterprise agents, APA for business process automation, the XFYUN CLI developer environment, and the Xingchen TaaS platform, which stands for Token as a Solution, were announced.

Agent OS is responsible for task planning and organizational management. It integrates employees, business systems, and agents into so-called scene packages, utilizing organizational-level contextual design for continuous improvement of workflows and skills. The company claims that this has increased inter-system interaction efficiency by 90% in deployed projects, with over 75% of processes capable of operating autonomously.

The APA system handles task execution. Employees can either record a screen session or describe a task in plain language. APA packages routine operations, such as inventory checks, form filling, or initiating approval procedures, into reusable skills that agents call when necessary, integrating with ERP and CRM systems. iFLYTEK reported that its procurement verification system achieved 97% accuracy when working with the China Energy Investment Corporation.

For developers, the XFYUN CLI tool allows calling over 700 atomic AI functions and more than 200 agent adaptation capabilities with a single command, simplifying environment setup, authentication, and access. The AIUI Code tool enables developers to describe the required functionality, and the agent then calls the corresponding plugins to implement it. Furthermore, a digital employee function was introduced, which updates robot configurations via voice. The platform is also working on creating reusable agent resources, including skills, MCPs, connectors, CLIs, and industry knowledge.

Xingchen TaaS operates on top of iFLYTEK's Xingchen MaaS platform, which supports the Spark model and several open-source models. The intermediate layer of this platform includes tool orchestration, an agent engine, knowledge management, and model runtime control. The application layer covers simultaneous translation, digital employees, office productivity enhancement, knowledge Q&A, and marketing, offering packages for sectors such as finance, healthcare, education, and energy. The core idea is that companies should move beyond simply acquiring tokens and calling models, transitioning to building complete business applications.

iFLYTEK also demonstrated new interaction tools for residential homes, robots, and public spaces. The company's robotic platform supports simultaneous communication among up to five people and demonstrates speech recognition accuracy of 90.1% even in loud noise conditions. According to the company itself, the open platform has 11.87 million developers. It should be noted that all presented performance metrics are data provided by the company itself.
