Willog, an IoT-based logistics intelligence solution company, announced on the 12th that it will participate in the Daejeon Metropolitan City's joint public-private-military medical system construction project based on unmanned aerial vehicles.
This project is part of the '2025 Drone Demonstration City Construction Project' led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and is a project to demonstrate a real-time medical supplies delivery system within the city using drones. The goal is to quickly transport blood, specimens, and emergency medicines, thereby strengthening disaster and accident response capabilities even in traffic congestion or emergency situations. In particular, it is the first medical drone demonstration project in the country, centered around Daejeon, and is expected to be an important case to verify the possibility of utilizing drones in the medical field.
In this project, Willog will support the stable operation of medical drones and develop a real-time monitoring and optimization system for tracking the status of blood, specimens, and medicines. Based on data collected through sensor devices, the platform will be built to monitor the transport status of blood, blood products, specimens, and medicines in real time and immediately provide alarms to relevant parties when abnormal signs occur due to changes in temperature, humidity, and shock. Through this, the plan is to support the safe transport of blood and medicines in optimal conditions.
Founded in 2021, Willog is an IoT-based logistics intelligence solution company that goes beyond simple cargo location tracking to transparently manage and predict the entire logistics process. Using patented IoT devices, it precisely collects not only real-time location information but also various environmental data that affect the cargo condition, such as temperature, humidity, shock, incline, and illuminance, and the collected data is analyzed through its own algorithm optimized for the logistics environment. Based on this, it can predict the possibility of potential problems and prevent risks in advance, contributing to the advancement of corporate logistics strategies.
A Daejeon official said, “We are very excited to be working with Willog, which has a high level of understanding of pharmaceutical storage and transportation management and extensive experience in monitoring cold chain transportation of biopharmaceuticals,” and added, “We hope that this demonstration project will serve as an opportunity to innovate Daejeon’s medical system and, further, help Daejeon grow into a city that leads the future mobility market.”
Willog CEO Bae Sung-hoon said, “Transportation of medicines, including blood, is a critical issue directly related to national health and national security,” and added, “Through this demonstration project with Daejeon City, we will develop a real-time monitoring system for the stable operation of medical drones, and through this, we will contribute to establishing a more reliable medical logistics system.”
