Modern CE's automated forklift technology is an advanced logistics solution that can automatically identify the working environment and obstacles, and navigate itself along the optimal route, significantly improving productivity due to increased cycle speed and effective utilization of logistics space. Since the work is carried out along a planned path, the risk of accidents in the workplace can be greatly reduced. Kang Ki-young, CEO of Hyundai Motor, stated: "A large number of officials from automotive and electronics companies attended our recent automated forklift demonstration project held at the Global Logistics Center in Chungbuk, Yeongdong. In addition to automated forklifts, we will also provide a complete logistics solution including control systems, loading and unloading facilities, warehouse management systems, and manufacturing execution systems to lead the market." Hyundai Construction Equipment, which launched Korea's first automated forklifts, plans to advance smart logistics solutions using KT's 5G communication network and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Hyundai Construction Equipment announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding with KT on May 12, and both parties will jointly develop smart construction equipment and material handling solutions based on 5G technology. This memorandum will enable the two companies to combine their technologies (Hyundai Construction Equipment's autonomous vehicle technology) with KT's ICT technologies such as 5G communication and AI to provide advanced smart logistics solutions to the market. This technological collaboration is expected to further enhance the remote control and management level of autonomous forklifts and realize a remote service system controlled by AI voice solutions, video, and augmented reality (AR) operations.
