CJ Logistics announced on the 8th that it has implemented its self-developed robot sorting system, Mini AGV Assorting System (MAAS), at the Crocs logistics center in Jiading District, Shanghai, China.
MAAS is a system that automates the transportation of various types of products and boxes, as well as regional sorting tasks (for customer stores), utilizing dozens of transport robots (Mini AGV).
When a transport robot moves the product picked by an operator to a box, another operator packs it and ships it.
In the past, workers performed tasks from product collection to sorting and packing directly, but with the MAAS system, many tasks have been automated, increasing operational efficiency.
In particular, in the case of the Crocs integrated logistics center, which handles not only shoes but also numerous products such as 'Jibbitz Charms', the introduction of MAAS has improved logistics productivity by more than double.
CJ Logistics plans to implant the know-how gained from applying MAAS at the Crocs logistics center in Icheon last year into the Shanghai Crocs logistics center. MAAS was implemented at the Icheon Crocs center in February of last year.
CJ Logistics is expanding several logistics systems developed and applied domestically to overseas locations in addition to MAAS. Notably, the implantation of the auto-store based logistics automation technology at the Saudi GDC is representative.
Yoon Cheol-joo, head of center solutions at CJ Logistics, said, 'We are transplanting our own technologies and systems, which have proven their effectiveness in boosting logistics efficiency for client companies, to overseas markets.' He added, 'We will continue to devote ourselves to developing customer-oriented logistics solutions that combine cutting-edge technologies, optimized processes, and the best IT services.'
