CJ OliveNetworks announced the completion of a next-generation logistics system (WMS) at HD Hyundai Electric's Cheongju distribution campus, supporting the transition to an advanced manufacturing environment on August 11.
The Cheongju distribution campus, which began operations in December 2025, is a future-oriented smart production base. Spanning approximately 25,000 pyeong, equivalent to 12 soccer fields, it integrates production, design, and logistics functions previously scattered across Anseong, Ulsan, and Busan. The facility produces over 50,000 types of distribution equipment, including air circuit breakers (ACB), vacuum circuit breakers (VCB), and molded case circuit breakers (MCCB).
Through the establishment of the next-generation logistics system, CJ OliveNetworks has connected enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution systems (MES), warehouse control systems (WCS), logistics automation equipment, and external collaboration systems into a single platform, implementing a real-time data-based integrated management system.
The integrated management dashboard, intelligent work management (WAVE), standardized interfaces, and user-centered screens enhance the intuitive understanding of logistics flows and improve operational efficiency.
Additionally, the system integrates various logistics automation equipment, including autonomous mobile robots (AMR), automated case handling robots (ACR), and logistics shuttles, enabling data-driven operations from material receipt to depalletizing, line delivery, and finished product shipment.
This foundation has completed an operational system for integrated management of production, logistics, and equipment data. It is also seen as a stepping stone for AI-driven logistics advancement and global expansion.
HD Hyundai Electric expects that the introduction of this system will provide visibility across the entire logistics flow and establish an 'intelligent logistics operation foundation' from material receipt to finished product shipment.
Song Won-cheol, head of smart logistics and factory at CJ OliveNetworks, stated, "This project marks a solid starting point for the AX transition in manufacturing logistics, centered on AI-based data utilization. We will continue to support our customers' global competitiveness based on the digital transformation experience we have accumulated in logistics and manufacturing."
Meanwhile, CJ OliveNetworks has established logistics systems across various industries, including the unmanned smart logistics center for Pico Innovation in Pyeongtaek, the smart logistics center at Yangsan Busan National University Hospital, and the next-generation delivery system 'Lois Parcel' for CJ Logistics.
Leveraging its experience in building large-scale 3PL automated logistics centers and smart production bases, the company supports the entire process from logistics consulting and engineering to WMS and WCS implementation, automation equipment integration, and operation and maintenance. Furthermore, through collaboration with domestic and international automation equipment companies, it is enhancing its capabilities to build AI logistics platforms optimized for customer environments, expanding its AX business in manufacturing and logistics.
