The ‘2023 ICPI Week (International Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Week)’ exhibition was held on the 18th at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1, Goyang, where you can look at the entire supply chain from drug and cosmetics development to manufacturing and distribution. This exhibition will be held under the supervision of the exhibition organizers Contest Exhibition and KY Expo, and will run until the 21st (Fri).
A feature of this exhibition is the development of the copper market·manufacturing Supply ChainThe point is that you can see the ecosystem that makes up the. Therefore, this exhibition is·Bio·cosmetic ▲design and development ▲laboratory science ▲production process·packaging ▲Products and technologies for cold chain and logistics technology are introduced., According to the purpose of the visitors, the organizers 7established a dog specialty.
In particular, on the third day of the exhibition, on the 20th (Thu), seminar rooms 1 and 2 on the 212nd floor of the KINTEX Exhibition Center 213, under the theme of ‘Logistics Paradigm Change, Innovation and the Next Level’, △Shin Hyun-seong, Secretary of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport △Kim Sang-woo, Head of Socar Data Business Headquarters △Kwon Oh-seong, Deputy Head of Kakao Mobility presentations were made.
Kwon Oh-seong, deputy general manager of Kakao Mobility, who was the third presenter on the day, said, “We aim to take responsibility for more convenient and faster movement in our daily lives.” Moving logistics services such as walking delivery are also included, and we are constantly conducting research toward ‘next mobility’ without stopping there.”
Kakao Mobility is currently planning to achieve delivery innovation in the ‘Last-Mile’ by using delivery robots in the logistics market. Regarding this, Deputy General Manager Kwon Oh-seong said, “Now, robots are also recognized as one of the trends that will lead the future of the global logistics industry, and Kakao Mobility plans to challenge the market with AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) equipped with sensor-based self-driving functions.” “In particular, delivery robots are inseparable from the last mile, and we plan to build a solution that can increase both customer and company satisfaction with robots specialized for indoor and outdoor environments,” he said.

The last mile is a concept that collectively refers to the final process of delivery of goods to the destination, the consumer’s home or door, and accounts for the highest portion (53%) of the total cost of the delivery process. Deputy General Manager Kwon said, “Most of these costs are determined by the labor cost of delivery drivers, and this is an area that needs to be improved to innovate the overall logistics market beyond the last mile.” While the number of users is increasing, the company will subdivide the last mile section that has been used so far to 5,000 feet and 50 feet to create an optimal system for robots and humans to collaborate.”
“Delivery robots are largely divided into outdoor public road robots that can be used at a distance of less than 1.5 km from the delivery destination and indoor robots that move inside buildings,” he said. We need a solution that flexibly controls and monitors the structure with a dedicated platform.”
The main point of the platform robot service proposed by Deputy Director Kwon is to implement optimized dispatch and assignment of tasks based on the actions that each robot can perform, and to allow one robot to perform various roles. By doing so, it aims to improve the utilization and productivity of robots and minimize the cost incurred in the last mile by linking manned delivery means.
Deputy Director Kwon said, “We expect to expand accessibility and scalability by establishing standardized forms and standards by forming a gateway that integrates the roles and functions of robots, and allowing other platform companies in the industry other than Kakao Mobility to utilize them. He also emphasized, “In addition, by producing, installing, and updating the map that helps the robot drive with Kakao Mobility’s know-how and technology, we will ensure that the service is always available even in a variable environment.”
In addition, Deputy General Manager Kwon said, “To establish this vision, our goal is to cooperate with various companies and stakeholders who have demonstrated their capabilities in the related industry, and to create a new ecosystem together with them.” If we work together to create services that promote improvement, I believe that robots will soon be able to enter our daily lives.”
