CJ Logistics is collaborating with the Korea Environmental Corporation to establish a verification system for appropriate packaging using artificial intelligence (AI).
On July 24, CJ Logistics signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Environmental Corporation at its headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, to develop and operate an 'AI-based smart appropriate packaging system.'
The two organizations aim to create a public-private partnership that reduces overpacking from the product packaging stage. CJ Logistics plans to enhance its AI appropriate packaging assessment solution, 'PackCheck,' developed by its TES Logistics Technology Research Institute. The Korea Environmental Corporation will review the suitability of PackCheck's analysis results and support the quantification of regulatory standards, the introduction of a smart appropriate packaging certification system, and on-site inspections.
Currently, the verification of overpacking is largely conducted manually by certified verification agencies, which is time-consuming and costly. The introduction of an AI verification system is expected to digitalize the verification process and improve the accuracy and consistency of regulatory applications.
The two organizations will also establish an 'AI Appropriate Packaging Verification Operating Committee' that includes industry, academia, experts, and civil and private organizations. This committee will be responsible for technology verification, discussions on institutional improvements, and gathering on-site feedback.
Kim Jeong-hee, head of CJ Logistics' TES Logistics Technology Research Institute, stated, "We will secure the technical reliability and objectivity of PackCheck through on-site demonstrations and develop it into a standard for appropriate packaging."
Meanwhile, Shin Young-soo, CEO of CJ Logistics, emphasized during a town hall meeting with employees in May that the company aims to secure future growth engines by combining logistics big data with AI technology and to take the lead in transforming the logistics industry.
