Wemeet Mobility (CEO Kang Gwi-seon) announced that it will participate in CES 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas, USA from Tuesday, January 9th to January 12th (Friday, local time) next year.
Wemeet Mobility is a mobility tech startup that researches and develops VRS (vehicle ROOUTYng and scheduling) technology. We have been developing and building location-based technology for the past six years, and are currently exploring various ways to expand our LBS business based on the technology we have built. Wemeet Mobility, which has received various awards including the Minister of Science and Technology’s Award, is moving toward a vision for IT-based innovation in the logistics sector and is providing integrated logistics management solution ‘ROOUTY’.
ROOUTY is characterized by the ability to quickly process multi-stop dispatch for multiple vehicles with just a few clicks. In relation to this, Wemeet Mobility said, “Some companies manage stopover dispatch manually in Excel or rely on experience, but ROOUTY is an artificial intelligence-based route optimization system that enables faster and more efficient stopover dispatch. In other words, it not only digitizes the manual dispatch scheduling work, but also distributes work equally considering the travel time and work time of each driver, and optimizes it to suit the needs of the company by considering visit time, volume, entry restrictions, and various conditions.” He said.
He continued, “By allocating stops in consideration of each driver’s travel time and working time, we can contribute to improving corporate value by providing an accurate estimated arrival time and increasing customer satisfaction. In addition, AI-based real-time destination optimization becomes possible, allowing drivers and managers to handle urgent orders through a connected control system. “Finally, we can track vehicles using GPS and use dynamic ROOUTYng technology to optimally dispatch and fulfill incoming orders in real time without installing additional equipment for vehicle monitoring.”
In this way, ROOUTY is a vehicle mobility solution that redefines last-mile logistics by utilizing Wemeet Mobility’s unique route optimization engine and precise maps. It allows multiple vehicles to move routes efficiently and determine the driver’s transportation status in real time, making it a logistics company Our strength is that we can implement these various policies efficiently.
In addition, what differentiates Wemeet Mobility is the engine’s fast calculation speed and customized logic for various business purposes. In addition, the estimated arrival time (ETA) of the route plan boasts high accuracy with an error range of ±10 minutes from the actual arrival time (ATA), and the customer’s logistics efficiency is greatly improved through an engine customized to fit the customer’s business. The official explains that this is done.
The background for participating in CES was also revealed. A company official said, “Wemeet Mobility plans to exert great influence at CES 2024 by unveiling its cutting-edge solution, Routy, and sharing its vision for innovation in the logistics industry using IT. “We also plan to actively engage with attendees during the event, working with public and private groups to explore strategies for success in the post-pandemic last-mile delivery environment.”
In particular, Wemeet Mobility, which announced its goal of meeting IT vendors who want to form a consortium with the company and conduct PoC and field testing with global retailers, is aiming for global expansion targeting markets such as the United States, Japan, and Singapore. He said he would focus on going beyond introducing Ruthie. They plan to discuss successful last-mile delivery strategies after the pandemic and take a comprehensive look at the essential technologies needed to effectively execute them.
An official said, “Currently, Wemeet Mobility is leading initiatives to solve various logistics problems in cooperation with domestic public logistics and distribution companies. “This ongoing collaboration demonstrates our commitment to fostering positive change in the logistics landscape and establishing ourselves as a trusted partner driving impactful developments in the industry.”
He added, “The importance of driver knowledge is increasingly emphasized as reliance on existing systems to navigate complex road conditions decreases. However, the logistics industry faces a major obstacle: a shortage of skilled drivers due to an aging workforce and job insecurity. “This manpower shortage highlights the need for a human-centered approach in the field of logistics, where individual know-how and intuition play an important role,” he said. “Relying solely on statistical optimization approaches is difficult to gain the trust of end users. , which may hinder the development of user-friendly products. Wemeet Mobility pursues a human-centered, efficient approach to innovate the logistics sector. “Wemeet Mobility’s AI-based technology will continue to be advanced based on these principles.”
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), is an exhibition where you can see the flow of innovative technologies around the world at a glance and is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 18 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 2006, and has been selected through ‘BEST OF CES’ and ‘BEST OF MADE IN KOREA’, which select the best innovative products, companies and technologies. has been in progress. In addition, CES on-site issues are vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
The CES 2024 Seoul Unified Hall will be operated at the largest scale in terms of exhibition area, number of participating companies, and number of participating supporters since Seoul City’s first participation in CES in 2020. The Seoul Integration Center, in which 13 organizations collaborate and participate, is an important step in Seoul’s efforts to make Seoul a mecca for startups, and 17 of the companies participating in the Seoul Integration Center proved this by receiving innovation awards. The participating institutions in the Seoul Unification Center are ▲SBA ▲Seoul Bio Hub ▲Campus Town ▲AI Yangjae Hub ▲Gwanak-gu ▲Yonsei University ▲Korea University ▲Chung-Ang University ▲Sogang University ▲Kookmin University ▲Hanyang University ▲Konkuk University ▲Kyunghee University. Not only the Seoul Metropolitan Government, institutions, and companies, but also supporters through industry-academia cooperation are matched 1:1 with companies, and 85 supporters, the largest number, will participate.
