Doosan Logistics Solutions Diversifies Suppliers for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Partnership Established with Domestic Autonomous Mobile Robot Specialist KN
Providing Automation Solutions and Maintenance Services

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Doosan Logistics Solution announced on the 16th that it has signed a strategic partnership with KN, a domestic autonomous mobile robot (AMR) specialist company, to diversify its AMR supply sources.

KN supplies products through partnerships with several overseas AMR companies such as Mushaini and HIK Robot, and also produces domestically made AMRs on its own. In addition, it has maintenance service capabilities for the products of its partner companies.

Doosan Logistics Solution, which is responsible for supplying Chinese Geekplus products that held the number one global AMR market share last year, expects that by securing various supply sources through this partnership, it will be able to provide customers with optimal solutions and prompt maintenance services.

In the future, the two companies plan to jointly develop differentiated AMRs through their cooperation. AMRs are in high demand as they can maximize space utilization while drastically reducing picking and transportation operation times. The global AMR market was approximately 900 billion KRW last year but is expected to surge to about 55.27 trillion KRW by 2030.

Kim Hwan-sung, CEO of Doosan Logistics Solution, said, "As orders have recently increased and customer demands have diversified, we decided to pursue supply source diversification to respond flexibly. KN has extensive experience in securing domestic logistics solutions, as well as its own maintenance capabilities and automated guided vehicle (AGV) development technology, so the synergy effect with DLS will be high."
