Hyundai AutoEver is currently building logistics automation equipment and IT solutions to enable MCL Korea to operate integrated B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) services at a clothing-specialized integrated online and offline logistics center. Located in Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, this center has a total floor area of approximately 30,000 pyeong, roughly equivalent to 15 soccer fields.

Through this collaboration with MCL Korea, the goal is to enable control of various automation equipment and different types of robots within a single system.
