CJ Logistics Opens Fulfillment Center in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do... Accelerating E-commerce Logistics

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] CJ Logistics is opening a new fulfillment center in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province to further strengthen its logistics network and provide high-quality services to sellers and consumers.

On the 15th, CJ Logistics announced the opening of the ‘Icheon 1 Fulfillment Center’ in Seolseong-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, with a total floor area of 26,545㎡ (8,030 pyeong). Fulfillment is a service that collectively handles complex logistics processes such as inventory management, packaging, inspection, shipping, and delivery by jointly storing products from multiple clients.

CJ Logistics provides high-quality delivery services to consumers through ‘converged fulfillment,’ which links the fulfillment center with parcel terminals. If a consumer orders a product by 24:00, it is shipped from the center and delivered nationwide the next day through a densely established network of parcel hubs and sub-terminals across the entire region.

CJ Logistics plans to introduce transport robots called ‘Shuttle AGV (Automated Guided Vehicles)’ at this center. These robots autonomously move within storage spaces composed of high shelves 4.7 meters tall, adjusting their height to place or retrieve products. With the capability for high-level operations, products can be densely stacked up to high spaces within the logistics center, greatly improving storage efficiency. Additionally, workers do not need to roam the large logistics center or operate forklifts to find products ordered by consumers. CJ Logistics is currently building the infrastructure and systems for operating the ‘Shuttle AGV’ and plans to start full-scale operation after precise preliminary testing by the end of this year.

CJ Logistics plans to continuously expand its advanced technology-based ‘Smart Fulfillment’ to provide high-quality logistics services to sellers and consumers.

Ahn Jae-ho, Head of CJ Logistics’ E-commerce Division, said, “By expanding the fulfillment center and introducing new automated equipment such as the ‘Shuttle AGV,’ we will implement logistics processes optimized for the characteristics of each product,” adding, “Based on our technological capabilities and operational expertise, we will further advance ‘Smart Fulfillment’ and strengthen our status as an innovative technology company that grows together with our customers.”
