SYL Introduction
CEO MESSAGE
We connect AI, people and logistics
to create our customers' success.
Welcome. I am Lee Sang-keun, CEO of Samyoung Logistics.Since our founding in 1998, we have grown alongside our customers, driven by a passion for logistics and a constant spirit of challenge.
We have never viewed logistics as simply the storage and movement of goods. For us, logistics means understanding our customers' businesses and contributing to their success.
Today, the logistics industry is entering another major period of transformation. AI, robotics, automation and data technologies are becoming integrated into logistics operations, rapidly reshaping not only how logistics centers are run, but also how people work and how services are delivered to customers.
Samyoung Logistics is turning this transformation into an opportunity for new growth.
We are pursuing smart logistics that seamlessly connects four core elements: human experience and judgment, AI, robotics and automation, and logistics systems and data.
Rather than using AI merely as a tool to support individual tasks, we are applying it across a wide range of logistics operations, including demand forecasting, operations planning, safety management, anomaly detection and task automation. Our goal is to build logistics operations that are safer, more accurate and more efficient.
Yet the more technology advances, the more important people become.The smart logistics we pursue is not about replacing people with technology. It is logistics in which people, AI, robots and systems combine their respective strengths to create greater value. By combining our field experience and expertise with advanced technologies, we will provide our customers with a new level of logistics competitiveness.
Going forward, Samyoung Logistics will continue to strengthen its solution design, technology, field operations and global logistics capabilities. At the same time, through AI- and data-driven decision-making and smart logistics innovation, we will respond more quickly and flexibly to the diverse needs of our customers.
The future of logistics cannot be built by technology alone. A new kind of logistics emerges only when human experience meets technological innovation and is put into practice in the field. Keeping our promise to be "a company that makes customers successful through logistics," Samyoung Logistics will grow into the smart logistics partner our customers trust most, even in the age of AI.
We invite you to join us in the new future of logistics that Samyoung Logistics will create for your success.
Thank you.
