Hundreds of equipment operators zoom around the 880-acre site on warehouse tugs, pulling behind them trains of silver shipping containers shaped like half-igloos(圆顶建筑). In an ear splitting operation dubbed “the matrix” package sorters corral boxes into a single-file line for a trip down a tangle of conveyor belts.On this particular night at FedExs largest global facility, workers will sort some 1.3 million express packages. That number only swelled when holiday shopping kicked into high gear.This logistical symphony has been decades in the making, the product of billions of dollars in investment in automated sortation systems and Boeing 767 cargo jets. During the peak hours on this night, air traffic controllers in the Tennessee city will usher in about 150 flights, an average of one every 40 seconds.Analysts say infrastructure such as this makes FedEx and its rival, UPS extremely difficult to dislodge from their thrones atop the U.S. shipping industry. And yet as dominant as they are, the stalwarts are also vulnerable facing a fresh wave of potential disruption.In the past year, Amazon.com has put 4,000 of its own truck trailers on the road and has leased 40 planes from an airfreight company, raising the specter of the e-commerce giant possibly becoming a competitor of the major shippers instead of one of their biggest customers.Uber, meanwhile, has built a fast-growing business out of ferrying people around cities, leading some analysts to wonder whether its network might also be effective at moving goods. Silicon Valley upstarts such as Deliv and Postmates also are making a play for local deliveries.And then, looking to the not-so-distant future, a host of companies pitch drones and driverless vehicles as options that could reshuffle the economics of the delivery business. Amazon announced that it had made its first customer delivery via drone bag of popcorn and a Fire TV streaming deviceto a shopper in Britain.Together, these developments amount to a gathering storm for FedExs shipping empire.“The last time the logistics industry has had a change this big was the introduction of the ocean shipping container in the 1960s,” said Ryan Petersen chief executive of Flexport, a freight forwarding company.Its a transformation that will test whether sprawling, sophisticated facilities such as the World Hub are a bulwark(壁垒) that protects the company or an expensive anchor that makes it hard to reposition for the future.9.
