Hyundai Elevator Integrates Production and Logistics at Chungju Smart Campus

On the 7th, Hyundai Elevator employees are making their first commute to the Chungju Smart Campus.

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hyundai Elevator announced on the 7th that it has completed the relocation of its headquarters and factory by building a smart campus in the 5th General Industrial Complex in Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do.

The smart campus, established on a 173,097㎥ site, includes production lines such as sheet metal, assembly, and TM buildings, as well as a logistics center, research institute, office building, employee welfare facilities, and dormitories. The company expects to secure global competitiveness by applying a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to the production lines. The system also aims to enhance customer responsiveness by linking systems, equipment, operators, and information communication technology.

Additionally, the company combined the production lines and logistics centers previously located separately in Icheon and Cheonan to reduce the procurement period from customer order to shipment. The company anticipates that real-time monitoring of all processes will enable prompt responses. The production scale is about 25,000 units annually. Song Seung-bong, CEO of Hyundai Elevator, said, "The smart factory has actively introduced 4th Industrial Revolution technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, laying the foundation for a second leap forward."
