Willog (CEOs Bae Seong-hoon and Yoon Ji-hyun), an AIoT supply chain intelligence company, has launched a project with global logistics firm Hyundai Glovis to introduce an AIoT-based SCM solution aimed at improving the quality of long-distance import and export transportation for automotive knock-down (KD) parts. This project was initiated to manage quality variables arising during the multimodal transportation process connecting land and sea using real-time data.
The project will run for one year starting this year and involves installing Willog’s IoT sensors on KD cargo containers bound for global finished vehicle production bases in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia to monitor transport quality. KD parts are sensitive to environmental changes during long-distance transport, and various factors such as temperature, humidity, shock, and unloading operations affect quality on the route, which spans over 13,000 km in total—including 9,700 km by sea and 3,400 km by land—from Busan Port to the Alabama plant in the United States.
Willog IoT sensors collect data in real time, including location, temperature and humidity by section, intensity and frequency of external impacts, tilt, and illuminance. When environmental changes or abnormal signs are detected, they send immediate notifications to enable a response, which is expected to enhance supply chain stability.
The collected data is accumulated in a database and analyzed to identify patterns of abnormal situations during transportation, utilizing it to establish proactive risk management measures such as shipping route optimization and packaging improvements. Bae Seong-hoon, CEO of Willog, stated, “Hyundai Glovis’s selection of our technology demonstrates the importance of securing visibility into the global supply chain,” adding, “We will contribute to strengthening the global competitiveness of K-logistics technology by transforming logistics data into business insights.”
Willog plans to participate in the International Logistics Industry Exhibition (KOREA MAT 2026), which will be held for four days starting March 31, and showcase monitoring solutions applied to Hyundai Glovis and logistics-specialized AI technology.
Meanwhile, in the global automotive logistics market, the adoption of supply chain quality management technologies based on AIoT, real-time monitoring, and data analysis is expanding.
