Hyundai Glovis Partners with Foodnara Co., Ltd. to Build Smart Logistics Center... Processing 14,000 Cases Daily

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Hyundai Glovis announced on the 12th that it will officially operate the smart automated integrated logistics center built in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, in partnership with Foodnamu Co., Ltd., a diet-specialized distribution platform company.

In March, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a logistics center capable of fully automated control from goods receipt to shipment by introducing advanced logistics systems and automation equipment.

Hyundai Glovis plans to implement an online logistics system at the logistics center to automate the entire process from order reception to packaging, shipment, and delivery of convenient health foods such as chicken breast produced by Foodnamu. Additionally, a cold chain work environment will be established throughout the entire process to ensure product freshness.

The smart logistics center can handle more than 14,000 shipments per day. Furthermore, due to automation equipment, labor costs will be reduced, and logistics costs are expected to decrease by 8.8% annually, enabling cost savings in various aspects.

Demand for investment in smart logistics facilities has recently intensified both inside and outside the industry. According to the Korea Transport Institute, 36% of the approximately 7,000 logistics warehouse facilities nationwide were constructed before 2000 and are severely aging. In response, the government revised the Enforcement Decree of the Logistics Facilities Act in October last year to establish administrative support grounds for the construction of smart logistics centers.

A Hyundai Glovis official said, “The movement to transition to a smart logistics system is becoming active both inside and outside the industry,” adding, “Hyundai Glovis will strive to lead the advancement of logistics without falling behind.”
