CJ Logistics Launches 'TES Logistics Technology Research Institute'... Industry's Largest Scale

Promoting Advanced Logistics Sites with 4th Industrial Revolution Technologies
Accelerating Commercialization of Wearables and Autonomous Forklifts
"Becoming a Global Logistics Company Recognized for Advanced Technology"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] CJ Logistics recently announced on the 23rd that it has undergone an organizational restructuring and launched the 'TES Logistics Technology Research Institute.' TES stands for Technology, Engineering, and System & Solution, representing the core technologies pursued by CJ Logistics.

The existing Logistics Research Institute, which has been operating since 2013, was simply an organization that established and executed TES strategies. In contrast, the TES Logistics Technology Research Institute will take on roles including technology development and consulting to effectively respond to the rapidly growing untact business and lastmile services (referring to the entire process and elements involved in delivering parcel products to their destinations).

Accordingly, CJ Logistics separated the IT department, which has low relevance to research and development (R&D), from the institute. The existing organization was reorganized into four teams responsible for ▲Future Technology Development ▲Supply Chain Management (SCM) Consulting ▲Operations Optimization ▲Data Analysis.

The Future Technology Development division handles robot technology, autonomous transportation, wearable devices, and eco-friendly packaging technology. The SCM Consulting division combines the institute's technology with on-site operational know-how to provide customized solutions with maximum efficiency and minimum cost. The Operations Optimization division is responsible for optimizing logistics center design and delivery route optimization.

CJ Logistics particularly views the big data analysis division as an important asset of the institute. Recently, CJ Logistics analyzed data on 'Changes in Parcel Volume Due to the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)' and proved the hypothetical claim that 'the parcel network prevented a panic buying frenzy.' The TES Logistics Technology Research Institute plans to soon publish a daily life report analyzing the entire parcel volume from last year and tracking various consumer trend changes.

A CJ Logistics official stated, "In the global market, distinctions between industries and regions are breaking down based on Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, and logistics companies are actively operating across a wide range of areas." He added, "Based on the achievements of the TES Logistics Technology Research Institute, we will lead future growth and leap forward as a global logistics company recognized by customers for advanced technology."
