Hancom has taken its first step in applying its self-developed 'Agentic OS' in a corporate setting. Following its provision of AI solutions to BGF Group, Namyang Dairy is now participating in the proof of concept (PoC) for Agentic OS, accelerating the expansion of its AI transformation (AX) business in the manufacturing and distribution sectors.
On August 25, Hancom announced the commencement of a PoC to apply Agentic OS in Namyang Dairy's actual business environment. This initiative aims to establish an integrated operational environment within the company that combines multiple AI agents with corporate data and work systems, going beyond the supply of existing AI solutions.
On the same day, Hancom signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for business collaboration on Agentic OS with Namyang Dairy at Hancom Tower in Bundang, Seongnam. The signing ceremony was attended by Jin Sung-sik, Hancom's Business General Manager, and Heo Tae-gwan, Head of Management Support at Namyang Dairy, along with other representatives from both companies.
Earlier in May, Hancom announced its plans to transition into a 'Sovereign Agentic OS Company.' It plans to release both beta and commercial versions of Agentic OS in the fourth quarter and aims to expand its business domestically and internationally. The PoC with Namyang Dairy is a process to verify the applicability of Agentic OS in a real corporate work environment before its official launch.
This collaboration focuses on the organic integration of various AI agents, corporate data, and work systems through Agentic OS. The two companies will apply this system in Namyang Dairy's actual work environment and validate its effectiveness in driving work innovation through the PoC.
The PoC will be based on practical data and workflows from Namyang Dairy's operational departments. Hancom plans to design AI agents optimized for Namyang Dairy's work environment to support repetitive and standardized tasks. This initiative aims to reduce processing times and maximize productivity in the workplace.
Based on the PoC results, the two companies plan to specify applicable work areas and future collaboration directions, gradually expanding the scope of application from verified areas. Namyang Dairy is also expected to accelerate its AX initiatives through this collaboration.
In April, Hancom first detailed its development plans for Agentic OS, proposing a structure that connects and coordinates various AI models with corporate work systems. The strategy aims to expand its business scope from AI solutions focused on document search and creation to actual task execution and integrated management by AI agents.
Hancom emphasizes the significance of conducting real-world trials of its self-developed Agentic OS before its official launch. Based on this MOU, Hancom plans to closely analyze the process and effects of applying AI agents in real work settings to enhance Agentic OS and industry-specific agent models. The goal is to implement substantial work innovations led by AI agents, moving beyond merely organizing corporate data and establishing knowledge search foundations.
Additionally, Hancom is expanding its AX business into the manufacturing and distribution sectors. Through individual AI solutions like 'Hancom Assistant' and 'Hancompedia,' it has established itself as an AX partner for public institutions and enterprises, including the National Assembly, Korea Western Power, and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, as well as the private BGF Group.
The company anticipates that the case study of Agentic OS with Namyang Dairy, combined with the data and knowledge asset experience accumulated at BGF Group, will provide key references for developing industry-specific AI agents and innovating corporate work systems in the future.
Hancom CEO Kim Yeon-soo stated that through this collaboration, the company aims to enhance industry-specific AI agent models for manufacturing and distribution, thereby expanding new business opportunities for large and medium-sized enterprises both domestically and internationally.
Kim emphasized, "Hancom's Agentic OS is an AI platform that fundamentally redesigns the work environment of companies. It is crucial to verify its applicability based on the actual work environments and data of companies before the official launch and to specify industry-specific utilization models."
