Logistical facilities of 6 companies including Fassto, Hanjin, CJ Logistics, LogisValleySLK, LogisValley Cheonma, and Hanaro TNS as the first certified smart logistical center.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) said on August 2 that it introduced smart logistics center certification system to facilitate private investment into efficient and safe advanced logistical facilities. The certified facilities will receive support of interest expense from the government when they apply for a loan for expenses necessary for facility investment. In particular, SMEs can receive the support up to 2%point.
Depending on the level of advancement and automation of the facilities, levels from one to five have been assigned. In particular, the level of automation in the sorting process, which requires especially intensive labor, was considered most importantly in parcel delivery terminal. The Ministry also looked into safe working environment, such as facility and management system to respond to fire and other safety accidents, resting place, and appropriate temperature and humidity.
The MOLIT plans to expand its support by receiving application for certification on an on-going basis.
