Under the agreement announced Thursday, the two companies will deploy an integrated robot automation system at LX Pantos' MegaWise Cheongna center.
The setup envisions shuttle robots retrieving outbound goods from warehouse shelves while wheeled humanoid robots receive and load items onto automated sorting equipment before dispatch.
LG CNS will train the robots using LX Pantos' logistics operation data, leveraging its PhysicalWorks Forge platform for robot learning and PhysicalWorks Baton for integrated fleet management. The humanoid hardware will draw on robots built by Dexmate — a Silicon Valley startup LG CNS invested in this past March.
Park Sang-kyun, senior vice president and head of LG CNS's telecommunications and distribution services division, said the collaboration was "a proof-of-concept project applying diverse robots and learning and operations platforms to logistics environments," adding the company aims to raise productivity and operational efficiency at the site alongside LX Pantos.
The two companies plan to open a tech driven logistics lab — a dedicated demonstration space for the automated workflow — in the second half of this year. They also intend to commercialize logistics robot solutions for external clients once the pilot matures.
