CJ Logistics Develops In-House Temperature and Humidity Monitoring System for Immediate Response to Heat-Related Illnesses

Deployed at 40 Logistics Centers Nationwide

Real-Time Apparent Temperature Calculation and Alert Function

Supporting Quality Maintenance in Cold Chain Logistics

CJ Logistics is introducing its proprietary temperature and humidity monitoring technology at logistics sites to prevent heat-related illnesses during the summer and to enhance its cold chain logistics capabilities.

On May 27, CJ Logistics TES Logistics Technology Research Institute announced that it has developed a real-time temperature and humidity monitoring web system for logistics centers called 'Royce Temperature,' which is currently installed and operating at 40 logistics centers nationwide.

Royce Temperature consists of wireless sensors attached inside the logistics centers, gateways that collect the data, and a dedicated web-based monitoring system for users to check the data in real time. A key feature of this system is that it automatically calculates the apparent (perceived) temperature based on real-time temperature and humidity data. According to current regulations, if the perceived temperature exceeds 31°C, it is classified as heatwave work, and if it exceeds 33°C, workers are required to take a break of at least 20 minutes every 2 hours. The system senses the risk level of the work environment in real time and sends alerts, enabling immediate response on site.

This system is also used to maintain quality in cold chain logistics for pharmaceuticals, food products, alcoholic beverages, and other items that require precise temperature control. The wireless sensors of Royce Temperature can measure temperatures from -30°C to 70°C, making them suitable for a variety of cold, refrigerated, and ambient temperature logistics centers. The system analyzes temperature change trends in vulnerable areas such as entrances and deep storage areas, where temperature and humidity fluctuations are frequent, to help maintain a consistent temperature. If the settings are exceeded, immediate notifications are sent to the manager.

Data reception stability has also been ensured. The gateway is equipped with a proprietary temporary data storage and retransmission function, so even if a communication failure occurs, the data is safely stored. The web monitoring system maintains a data reception rate of approximately 99%. The system's technological excellence has been recognized, as it won the grand prize at the 4th Korea Cold Chain Industry Awards hosted by the Korea Cold Chain Association.

A CJ Logistics representative stated, “We plan to install Royce Temperature, which incorporates our field management know-how and technology, at more than 150 sites by next year, including logistics centers and courier hub and sub-terminals. We hope that Royce Temperature will establish itself as a leading technology that helps ensure workplace safety and maintain product quality.”
