Next Link Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Norihide Nakamura; hereinafter "Next Link") announced its official membership as a regular member of the Japan Logistics Federation (hereinafter "JLF") and the AZ-COM Network as of April 1, 2026. With the full implementation of the "2024 Logistics Problem," which demands both safe operations and improved working environments, the company will leverage its unique expertise in "sleep monitoring devices" to contribute to the healthy development of the entire industry.
## Background of Membership: Why Next Link is Joining the JLF Now
The logistics industry currently faces urgent challenges, including a shortage of transportation capacity due to overtime work regulations and the prevention of health-related accidents caused by an aging driver workforce. Next Link has been developing advanced IT-driven services based on its belief that "safety is the greatest service." By participating in the JLF, which leads Japan's logistics policy, the company will share its knowledge of safety DX through industry-academia-government networks and strive to build a more robust and sustainable logistics infrastructure.
## Next Link's Strength: "Visualization of Safety and Health" through Sleep Measurement Services
Our promoted "sleep monitoring device" is a groundbreaking initiative that scientifically grasps the physical condition of drivers and prevents accidents before they occur.
### Prevention of Health-Related Accidents:
Using high-precision sensors, the device measures respiratory arrest values, heart rate, respiration, and body movements during sleep, and scores sleep quality. By providing appropriate guidance to at-risk drivers based on scientifically proven data, rather than relying on subjective health reports, serious accidents are prevented.
### Work Style Reform and Talent Acquisition:
By improving drivers' health awareness and reducing the man-hours of on-site personnel, we create an environment where people can work safely and for a long time, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of the logistics industry and contributing to the resolution of the severe labor shortage.
