AI That Plans Deliveries in 5 Seconds: 4 Real-World Logistics Innovations—and What Determines Their Success

CHAPTER 1
Beyond Calculation: How Far Has AI Come in Logistics Decision-Making?

"Can AI independently decide where, whom, and how to deliver pharmaceutical products?"

When asked this, Professor Jin-Gyu Park, CEO of OmeletAI and faculty at KAIST’s Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, responds without hesitation:

"Absolutely."

This isn’t an empty promise. Park not only asserts the claim, he demonstrates it. An AI system generating thousands of pharmaceutical delivery plans in just five seconds—then dynamically updating those plans in response to changing road traffic, absent delivery drivers, or new last-minute orders. In short: machines perform the calculations people can’t, while leaving human judgment intact.
