Autonomous drone startup B Garage (CEO Kim Young-jun) announced on the 5th that it has achieved work efficiency by providing an automated inventory survey service based on autonomous drones to Hyundai Glovis' (CEO Lee Kyu-bok) logistics center in Georgia, USA.
Bigarea develops and operates vertically integrated solutions that integrate hardware and software, including web-based user software, computer vision and camera vision-based autonomous flight software, drones and battery packs, and automatic battery replacement base stations. Specifically, it has fully automated inventory checks within its warehouses by applying drone technology capable of autonomous flight even in environments without GPS signals.
Hyundai Glovis introduced Bigarage's inventory management service for automotive knockdown (KD) components at its integrated logistics center within Hyundai Motor Group's Metaplant America (HMGMA) in the first half of this year. This service quickly identified errors between computerized and physical inventory, improving inventory accuracy to over 99% and reducing inventory management time by over 90% compared to traditional visual inventory management.
Building on this achievement, Hyundai Glovis plans to further expand its service offerings within the HMGMA CC.
Bigarage CEO Kim Young-jun said, “We have proven the possibility of reducing the burden on manpower and conducting quick and accurate inventory surveys through autonomous drone service,” and added, “In the future, we will expand the areas of application to include indoor facility inspection, security, and national defense reconnaissance through miniaturization of drones and advancement of technology.”
