Cold-Chain Logistics Robot Debuts with Subzero Capability at Modex 2026
16. April 2026LG CNS introduced a cold-chain logistics automation system capable of operating at temperatures as low as minus 26 degrees Celsius, targeting expanded adoption in North America’s temperature-controlled supply chain sector. The Mobile Shuttle robot system was unveiled at Modex 2026 in Atlanta, a major industry exhibition. Engineered for subzero environments, the solution is intended for applications in food distribution and retail logistics, where consistent performance under extreme conditions is critical. Robotic products and components usually require KCs or KC EMC certification to be approved for import and sale in Korea.
The system deploys fleets ranging from dozens to hundreds of robots that navigate warehouse racks at speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second, each supporting loads of up to 1,500 kilograms. Its four-directional shuttle design allows horizontal and vertical movement, reducing routing constraints and improving operational flexibility. LG CNS reports over 30 percent higher storage efficiency compared to conventional systems, supported by high-density configurations. Integrated AI capabilities enable natural language control via chatbot interfaces, real-time diagnostics, and operational recommendations. The solution also supports diverse cargo types, including cylindrical goods such as electric vehicle batteries, while mathematical optimization tools enhance routing and throughput. The company has already deployed the system in North American facilities, including a recent installation at a bakery production site in Texas.
