The new logistics center in Yangsan is built on a site of approximately 26,000㎡ (7,850 pyeong) with a total of four floors, including three above ground and one underground. It can handle all types of food ingredients, including ambient, refrigerated, and frozen products, with a maximum daily throughput of about 450 tons, making it the largest food ingredient logistics center operated by Dongwon Home Food.

Equipped with automated logistics facilities, the center can automatically process stages such as sorting and transporting food ingredients. In existing logistics centers, workers had to manually inspect, sort, and move food ingredients with irregular shapes, such as onions and napa cabbage, which caused long processing times and occasional delivery errors.

The automated food ingredient sorting system at the Yangsan logistics center uses multiple cameras to recognize barcodes attached to incoming products and automatically sorts the products according to their delivery destinations, moving them via conveyor belts to reduce delays and delivery errors.

Once the Yangsan logistics center is fully operational, Dongwon Home Food will be able to reliably supply up to 200,000 food ingredient items daily to more than 5,000 B2B (business-to-business) customers, including dining franchises and food companies located in the Yeongnam region. Dongwon Home Food plans to strengthen its food ingredient distribution business in the Yeongnam area using the Yangsan logistics center as a hub.

A Dongwon Home Food representative said, "Through the establishment of this new logistics center, we expect to create synergy not only in the food ingredient distribution business in the Yeongnam region but also in the catering and seasoning business sectors," adding, "We will build an accurate and efficient food ingredient distribution system based on automated facilities."
