KleanNara Advances Smart Logistics System... "Accelerating AI Transformation"

Delivery Types Diversified, Shipping Prioritization Systematized
KN-OMS and WMS Functions Enhanced

On May 29, KleanNara announced that it will establish a data-driven smart logistics system to enhance supply stability and customer responsiveness.

KleanNara is pursuing improvements to its logistics system as part of its artificial intelligence (AI) transformation strategy, which was announced in March in celebration of the company's 60th anniversary. The company plans to increase the efficiency of supply chain operations by integrating and managing the entire process from order receipt to shipping, vehicle assignment, and delivery based on data.

The Cheongju plant, which serves as the core logistics hub for KleanNara's Packaging Solution (PS) division, handles an average of 700 tons per day and up to 1,000 tons per day for the domestic market. Various shipping methods, including same-day delivery and next-day early morning delivery, are operated simultaneously, necessitating logistics accuracy and a stable management system.

Previously, the order management system (KN-OMS), warehouse management system (WMS), and loading and vehicle assignment work were operated through separate systems and manual processes. This raised the possibility of inefficiencies such as confusion in shipping prioritization and increased vehicle waiting times.

To address this, KleanNara has categorized delivery types into same-day, next-day early morning, and next-day delivery, and separated daytime and nighttime shipments to systematize shipping prioritization. The company has also introduced on-site kiosks that automatically record vehicle arrival and waiting times, allowing data-based analysis of logistics bottlenecks.

In addition, the company is improving the functions of KN-OMS and WMS to enable automatic generation of shipping priorities and automation of picking sequences. KleanNara also plans to implement an automatic vehicle assignment function using its in-house developed transport management system (TMS).

Looking ahead, the company plans to further enhance vehicle monitoring and arrival time prediction capabilities, and strengthen real-time data integration among kiosks, KN-OMS, WMS, and TMS. An AI-based inventory and production capacity (CAPA) management system will also be introduced in stages.

A KleanNara official stated, "This logistics operation advancement is not simply a matter of building new systems, but an integrated management process for the entire order, shipping, and delivery operations based on data," adding, "We will continue to advance our smart logistics capabilities by strengthening timely delivery systems and supply stability."
