CJ Logistics, Libiao Robotics partner to co-work for robotic system

South Korea’s CJ Logistics said on Tuesday that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership with global robotics firm Libiao Robotics.

Libiao Robotics, known for its expertise in sorting and picking robots, will collaborate with CJ Logistics to improve the company’s proprietary robot control system.

The upgraded system aims to optimize and automate the entire logistics process within CJ Logistics’ facilities.

The agreement includes the implementation of Libiao Robotics’ solutions in two new CJ Logistics distribution centers opening at the end of this year.

CJ Logistics has been developing its own robot-integrated control system designed to connect various robotic technologies and create a cohesive automation process tailored to individual sites.

CJ Logistics has partnered with Libiao Robotics since 2022.
