CJ Logistics

Have you ever wondered how our everyday products can arrive so fast and accurately? The answer lies on the state-of-the-art logistics system of CJ Logistics. CJ Logistics’ fulfillment center stocks products from various companies in the shared space with the cutting-edge automated system, and it processes inventory management, packaging, inspection, shipping, and delivery in the unified manner, all of which can be together considered a smart innovation in logistics. Presented below is an introduction of “Current Logistics” as defined by CJ Logistics that leads the rapidly changing world with its innovative technologies.
 

It all starts from measuring the dimensions of the customer-ordered products and storing them. If the complex logistics process is handled manually, it will not only slow down the work but also require a lot of time and manpower to prevent errors. The DWS system measures the width, length, and height of the product with a single scan. As we live in the era of data, data collection and sorting are surely an integral part of logistics. The DWS system uses the data it gathers automatically when scanning products to process a number of them efficiently, as well as it creates boxes for the products with the help of the box recommendation system. The system also uses the data to complete a weight inspection, leading to increased logistics efficiency and productivity.

CJ Logistics Picking refers to the job that picks up a product to be shipped from its storage lot in the warehouse. Who moves so many products that have been stored after being weighed with the DWS system? Do you imagine a scene in which workers walk in the huge logistics center to look for the products, or large forklifts move them here and there? The actual scene shows a number of AGVs move around fast as the workhorses of the fulfillment center, which represents the logistical innovation done by CJ Logistics, a total change in the logistics process.

The AGV stands for an Automated Guided Vehicle, an unmanned transport robot that moves autonomously. The robot looks cute with its round figure reminiscent of a robot vacuum, but it is powerful enough to pick up products several times its size rapidly and accurately, to play the core role in the automation. The AGV moves along the QR codes attached to the floor, searching for the optimal route fast and not making a redundant movement. Because the AGV takes charge of replenishment, storage, picking and transport of the inventory and so minimizes necessary move of the worker, the fulfillment center has increased its operational efficiency by 55%.

CJ Logistics’ fulfillment process starts from an accurate weight inspection, not allowing a minimal error. After the picking of the products, an inspection is required to finally confirm whether the box contains all the ordered products. How can you confirm all the products inside one of the numerous identical boxes? The data play the key role in the inspection process as well. A weight checker is an equipment used to inspect the picked-up products. It automatically inspects them by comparing the current box’s weight against the total weight of the ordered products according to the DWS system. The weight checker does not need any manual work, then is it more accurate than humans? The machine scores amazing 99.99% accuracy. The weight checker minimizes errors by performing a perfect inspection with nothing but the product data and increases the productivity of the fulfillment center dramatically.

Have you ever packaged a parcel to get it delivered? It is such a hassle to choose the right container box and wrap the product to prevent a break. Smart packaging refers to the fully automated equipment for the packaging process. It scans inside an inspected box to measure the empty space, computes the optimal amount of buffer, and fills the box with the buffer automatically. After pouring in the buffer, an automatic taping machine tapes the box. Then a waybill attaching machine glues a waybill onto the box automatically, and the packaging is now completed! Did you know that the smart packaging only uses eco-friendly materials? Through the eco-friendly practice, the center has reduced the use of plastic by 230 tons over a year. It also reduced the size of the box by 10% as well as the use of packaging materials, thanks to the big data.
