LG CNS said on the 1st that it is creating a dedicated team to help corporations establish and execute strategies for adopting robots and will expand its robot transformation (RX, Robot Transformation) business.
LG CNS launched the "RX Innovation Lab," which provides customized consulting for robot adoption. The team identifies ways to use robots that fit corporations' work environments and adoption goals, and supports the entire pre-RX process, from redesigning workflows and conducting proof of concept (PoC) to reviewing productivity.
The RX Innovation Lab provides structured support for robot adoption through a three-stage program: ▲ insight ▲ design ▲ proof. In the insight stage, it analyzes industry characteristics and work processes to identify applicable areas, and in the design stage, it selects optimal solutions such as autonomous mobile robots and humanoids and designs a collaboration framework between people and robots. In the proof stage, it trains robots based on work data and reviews field applicability, productivity, and safety through proof of concept.
LG CNS is pursuing robot transformation by redesigning entire work processes, going beyond simple process automation. For logistics corporations, it analyzes the entire process from receiving to storage, sorting, picking, packing, and shipping to identify sections with high potential for robot application and designs the optimal workflow.
Until now, LG CNS has carried out numerous robot proof-of-concept projects in logistics, distribution, and manufacturing, and has secured a range of operational capabilities, including logistics center automation robots, artificial intelligence (AI) picking robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and automated guided vehicles (AGV).
With the creation of this organization, LG CNS has built an innovation support system that spans digital transformation (DX), AI transformation (AX), and robot transformation (RX). It has expanded into the robotics domain, adding to the experience accumulated through the existing "Innovation Studio" and "Gen AI Studio."
LG CNS is also strengthening its full-stack RX services by combining a robot foundation model (RFM) with platforms and hardware. It is expanding its physical AI capabilities by partnering with U.S. robotics corporations Skilled AI and Config and investing in the humanoid corporation DEXMate.
Hyun Shin-Gyoon, president of LG CNS, said, "The key to robot transformation is to redesign productivity from the perspective of entire work processes, going beyond simple automation," adding, "Based on our physical AI capabilities, we will build an RX model optimized for industrial sites and help accelerate customers' productivity and growth."
