Recently, CCTV News reported on China Railway Express’s “Light Travel” service, which has covered 111 railway stations across the country. Passengers can easily book the “Light Travel” service through the Railway 12306 App, WeChat Mini Program, and China Railway Express WeChat Mini Program, greatly reducing the burden of carrying large luggage and making train travel easier. Behind this service that enhances the travel experience, Uiron Technology Group (hereinafter referred to as “Uiron”), as a technology partner, provides core system support and intelligent equipment transformation, which is a key force in ensuring the smooth implementation and stable operation of the service.
01. Site layout, small rail provides the cornerstone of the system
Starting from January 15, 2026, China Railway Express will launch the “Light Loading” service, which will cover 92 stations in Harbin, Xi’an, Urumqi, and other cities, basically covering provincial capitals, municipalities directly under the central government, and cities specifically designated in the national plan. This service aims to effectively solve the burden of passengers carrying large luggage on board. The implementation of services highly relies on the stable operation of standardized and intelligent luggage service cabinets at stations.
Through the intelligent operating system for luggage service cabinets jointly developed by Uiron and China Railway Express, the complex luggage handover process has been simplified into clear and convenient operations. Passengers can choose “same city handling” or “luggage storage” on the cabinet screen, scan the code and input information according to the guidance to complete the operation smoothly and intuitively.
02. Technical core, optimized operation experience for Uiron
Uiron not only provides a set of software technology, but also a deeply customized smart storage solution. The core of its system lies in standardizing service processes and making the interface user-friendly.
In the “same city handling” storage process, the system guides passengers to input the storage code and recommends three types of cabinets: “small, medium, and large” based on the size of their luggage; When picking up the package, you can quickly complete identity verification and pickup with the pickup code. Each operation link is equipped with a scientific countdown, balancing efficiency and fault tolerance.
To ensure a consistent service experience across the country, Uiron has completed a unified system refresh and integration of existing cabinets, unifying potentially differentiated operating interfaces into a simple system independently developed by Uiron. This directly guarantees that passengers from different cities can enjoy the same convenient operating experience.
03. Stable guarantee, small rail builds operation and maintenance system
Stability is crucial to support a nationwide service. The system design of Uiron includes a complete fault handling mechanism:
Uiron provides corresponding troubleshooting and solutions for common problems such as no display on the device screen, abnormal scanning of codes, verification code errors on the server, and unopened cabinet doors. For example, in case of system abnormalities, customer service can be directly contacted for handling.
This guarantee system originates from the long-term technological accumulation of Uiron in diverse scenarios. As the largest smart storage service operator in the country, Uiron’s products have been widely used in transportation hubs, tourist destinations, commercial centers, and other scenarios. The reliability and real-time response capability of its system have been fully verified.
04. Experience empowerment, multi scenario verification of small iron technology
Uiron is capable of handling this cooperation thanks to the successful operation of multiple services in its own business ecosystem, which have validated the universality and scalability of its technical model.
For example, the “Easy Travel” project launched by Uiron in recent years provides more convenient luggage services to passengers in diverse scenarios by creating a one-stop access and delivery solution. Among them, the “luggage delivery” service realizes the delivery of luggage between hotels and intelligent storage lockers at transportation hubs; Through long-term cooperation with JD Express, the “Delivery Service” has upgraded the intelligent locker carrier to a national delivery starting point; The “luggage transfer station” service within the subway area enables flexible scheduling of luggage between subway stations.
These practices provide mature technical modules and operational experience to support the “light loading” service of China Railway Express. Uiron will adapt its validated storage, logistics, and scheduling technologies to railway travel scenarios, shortening the development and deployment cycle of projects and ensuring the rapid launch of services.
The cooperation with China Railway Express marks the successful integration of Uiron’s technical capabilities into the national level transportation service network. This is not only the delivery of a single project, but also a deep coupling between smart storage technology and public transportation service system. By providing underlying system support, Uiron is helping traditional railway services achieve a digital and self-service experience upgrade.
In the future, with the deepening of cooperation and technological iteration, Uiron will continue to focus on the Internet of Things and intelligent hardware, expanding its technological capabilities to a broader field of smart cities, and contributing to the construction of a seamless modern travel ecosystem.
