Hyundai Glovis Opens Smart Logistics R&D Center 'JiLab'

Hyundai Glovis is establishing a 350-pyeong smart logistics research and development (R&D) center in the high-tech industrial complex of Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. This is to conduct technology verification for the application of new technologies such as automated robots, artificial intelligence, and machine vision in logistics sites.

On the 25th, Hyundai Glovis announced the opening of the technology verification center 'G-Lab,' a smart logistics technology R&D space. The opening ceremony held the day before was attended by Hyundai Glovis CEO Lee Gyubok, Head of the Future Innovation Technology Center Han Kyuhun, and Anyang City Deputy Mayor Jang Younggeun, among others.

G-Lab, established within the Pyeongchon high-tech industrial complex in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, occupies a space of 1,168㎡ (354 pyeong). Hyundai Glovis plans to develop G-Lab as a research and development hub that consolidates logistics technology capabilities.

Verification will be conducted targeting four key technologies: automated equipment systems, mobile robots, multi-joint robots, and artificial intelligence/machine vision. G-Lab will serve as a kind of testbed. Starting next year, it plans to begin technology verification by carrying out projects linked to each business group in earnest.

Additionally, synergies will be secured with companies that have formed collaborative relationships through equity investments. Hyundai Glovis plans to actively verify its smart logistics solution capabilities together with Altio, a logistics automation software company it acquired in June. Next year, it is also considering the introduction of 'Stretch,' a logistics robot from Boston Dynamics, a Hyundai Motor Group affiliate.

A Hyundai Glovis official said, "We will do our best to secure technological competitiveness, including intellectual property registration, through extensive future logistics technology research and development," adding, "We will strive to become a global leading logistics company that can make logistics sites more efficient and safer."
