Moji Weather enters the food delivery industry; greater possibilities for commercializing weather services. According to a report dated August 30, following a trial partnership with the leading food delivery platform Ele.me, Moji Weather announced that it now handles all orders in China’s food delivery sector, providing weather-related solutions for platforms such as Ele.me, Meituan, and Dianping. Previously, Moji Weather collaborated with Ele.me; the two parties shared data to develop delivery models, and by using historical data on food delivery as well as the most up-to-date short-term weather forecasts, they were able to create delivery plans for the next 2 hours. This approach helped to reduce losses due to weather conditions on food delivery orders and allowed for dynamic adjustments to logistics capacity. Today, this application covers the entire field of last-mile logistics delivery: Ele.me, Meituan Waimai, Dianping, Dianwoda, Xinda Da – JD DiaoJia, Baidu Waimai, and others are all using the data services provided by Moji Weather. Compared to other industries, the retail logistics sector is highly sensitive to weather conditions, as these often determine the volume of orders and operational efficiency. Moji Weather applies AI and numerical model forecasting techniques to the field of weather prediction. By analyzing historical trends in weather data as well as big data, it provides short-term forecasts on a minute-by-minute and kilometer-by-kilometer basis, as well as medium- and long-term forecasts. The forecast results are then corrected using machine learning methods to ensure the accuracy of the data. This is one of the services that Moji Weather can offer based on weather data. Companies usually expect these meteorological service companies to provide them with more than just basic information. Take a shipshipping company as an example: they not only want to know when bad weather will end, but also hope that the meteorological companies can offer specific recommendations on how to deal with it – namely, what are the risks associated with sending a ship out on a mission? If there is a typhoon, how should one avoid it? How should the route that goes around be designed? What Moji Weather is doing is to provide corresponding service solutions based on weather forecasts. Today, Moji Weather, with 550 million users, serves numerous enterprise-level clients. For them, the main challenge is not the data itself; what’s more crucial is knowing how to apply that data in practical scenarios. As the accuracy of weather forecasting improves, there are more possibilities for utilizing weather data. The ride-hailing industry, the Internet of Vehicles, logistics, insurance, tourism, aviation, as well as the power sector – and even **organizations** – all have a demand for meteorological services. For example, Moji Weather has signed an agreement with the Hebei Province Meteorological Disaster Prevention Center to develop artificial intelligence-based image recognition functions for detecting rain and snow, fog, waterlogging, hail, floods, landslides, and building collapses, in order to prevent and reduce disasters. In the power industry, InkWeather can provide recommendations for de-icing power lines as well as predictions regarding ice accumulation on downstream lines, which can help the industry avoid losses of tens of millions of dollars each year. It is worth noting that, in addition to the retail logistics sector, InkWeather is also set to make efforts in the cold-chain logistics field. Na Renxin, product director at Moji Weather, said, \"Leveraging its capabilities in big data processing and machine learning, Moji Weather can provide inventory management forecasting services that help businesses develop appropriate transportation plans, ensure timely delivery, and get the freshest food to households across the country, thereby improving the delivery accuracy and efficiency in the cold chain logistics industry.\" ” Ren Xin said, “Open meteorological data is the trend of the future, and under this trend, meteorological services represent a significant untapped market in contemporary China.” ” For information on downloading and installing Moji Weather, as well as for queries related to Moji Weather, you can refer to the official website.
