In May 2024, two revised logistics-related laws will be promulgated, requiring shipper companies and logistics operators to shorten waiting and handling times and improve loading efficiency per trip in order to improve logistics efficiency. Now it looks like this. In addition, in the “Government’s medium- to long-term plan for fiscal 2030” formulated on February 16, 2024, it is clearly stated that “we will support investments in automation, mechanization equipment, and systems to shorten cargo waiting and cargo handling times.” *3) The use of digital technology is recommended to optimize logistics and improve productivity. As part of the 2024 Logistics Issues, Japan Post, as a shipper, aims to achieve sustainable logistics by making proposals for improving logistics, including understanding the time required for cargo waiting and cargo handling, and implementing the 2-hour rule. We are working on “cooperating with customers”, “production and packaging in line with shipments”, and “securing delivery lead times” (*4). In order to advance these efforts, it is essential to understand the actual situation of truck waiting and cargo handling. Safee has provided various solutions such as remote status confirmation based on video data, operational efficiency improvement, abnormality detection and prediction through video analysis, and on-site DX in the logistics and transportation industry (*5). We have been promoting this. For example, when cameras are installed at berths where trucks load and unload goods, remote office staff can now constantly monitor the availability of berths and the progress of loading and unloading, and establish appropriate operations. , which improves berth utilization rates and contributes to reducing truck waiting times. Hacobu is developing the cloud logistics management solution “MOVO” with the aim of building a “logistics information platform” that will serve as a foundation for analyzing and utilizing logistics big data beyond the boundaries of individual companies. MOVO Berth, a truck reservation reception service that is part of the MOVO series, is a service that helps improve vehicle waiting times and productivity at distribution centers and factories by making entry reservations and entry/exit reception. . By distributing the entry time of vehicles through reservations, we solve the problem of waiting for cargo through planned receiving and shipping operations. Future prospects Through this demonstration experiment, we aim to establish a more efficient truck reception and cargo handling system by analyzing data such as vehicle waiting time and cargo handling time accumulated in MOVO Berth. For example, we will analyze the peak hours of loading and unloading and the time required for cargo handling to improve the productivity of the entire logistics operation, such as efficient truck berth operation and reduced waiting time for truck drivers. Comment from Yuya Ito, Manager, Postal and Logistics Business Division, Japan Post Co., Ltd. In response to the 2024 issue and legal revisions, Japan Post has been working to curb long transportation times and reform work styles. With the aim of further improving logistics efficiency, we have decided to start a demonstration experiment to automate berth operations with the cooperation of Safie and Hacobu. We hope that this initiative will greatly contribute to labor savings for drivers and post office workers.

New Tokyo Post Office Project Team Comments At the Shin-Tokyo Post Office, trucks enter and exit the post office 24 hours a day, and in addition, the congestion of arrival berths has created an issue of waiting time for trucks. Through this
demonstration experiment, we hope that by automatically recording the entry and exit of trucks and their waiting times, we can not only manage the post office premises, but also save labor for truck drivers who visit the post office. I’m thinking.
