Willog is using AI and IoT technology to modernise military logistics for the South Korean army.

Seoul-based Willog has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Republic of Korea Army Consolidated Supply Depot, which runs the army’s logistics.

Under the agreement, Willog will provide its technology and expertise to support the digital transformation of the army’s supply chain. This collaboration will involve joint research, technical advisory and the integration of Willog’s ICT logistics technology to enhance the efficiency and reliability of military logistics operations.

The Consolidated Supply Depot, which oversees all logistical support for the nation’s army, is modernising its capabilities by adopting technologies such as unmanned forklifts and autonomous guided vehicles. Last year, its First Supply Group became the first unit in the entire South Korean armed forces to receive a Smart Logistics Center certification from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport.

Under the MoU, Willog will deploy its proprietary IoT devices, which monitor not only location but also critical in-transit conditions such as temperature, humidity and shock. These data will be analysed by Willog’s AI platform to provide predictive insights, ensuring the integrity of military assets and improving overall operational efficiency.

Willog has a record of applying this technology to high-risk logistics environments, including pharmaceuticals, precision instruments and manufacturing. This partnership marks the company’s first major expansion into the public sector and validates its technology for a new mission-critical environment.

“Integrating advanced private-sector technology is essential for the future of military logistics,” said an official from the Consolidated Supply Depot of the South Korean army (www.army.mil.kr/sites/army/index.do). “Through our partnership with Willog, we aim to build a more efficient and sophisticated logistics system for our armed forces.”

Sunghoon Bae, co-CEO of Willog, added: “This MoU marks a significant first step in the digital transformation of Korea’s military logistics. We are committed to leveraging our technology and experience to help strengthen the smart logistics capabilities of the army, and eventually the navy and air force as well.”

Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, with offices in Singapore, Japan and the USA, Willog (www.willog.io) is actively pursuing global expansion and serves clients in the pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and distribution industries worldwide.
