Through this partnership, the two companies will work together to build an “intelligent logistics execution platform” in response to the rapidly growing automation demands in logistics sites.
The core of the initiative is to create an integrated system in which equipment, platforms, and data are seamlessly connected by combining HD Hyundai Site Solution’s capabilities in unmanned autonomous industrial vehicles (forklifts) and logistics site control solutions with Kakao Mobility’s platform expertise in integrated heterogeneous vehicle control, work optimization, and transport management.
This approach aims to resolve structural inefficiencies and operational delays caused by data fragmentation at each stage in traditional logistics environments, enabling the implementation of a fully automated system where the entire logistics process—from unloading of transport vehicles to docks and storage within warehouses—flows smoothly like water.
This year, the two companies plan to conduct joint demonstrations and proof-of-concept (PoC) testing to verify the technical feasibility and business potential of their solutions in real logistics environments.
According to global market research firm Spherical Insights, the Korean logistics automation market is expected to reach approximately 4.8 billion dollars (about 7.1 trillion won) by 2035, achieving annual high growth of over 15%.
