Domestic e-commerce companies and couriers, whose e-commerce business is growing rapidly during the COVID-19 period, are showing interest and making large-scale investments in smart logistics systems by market demands.

Interest in smart logistics is growing as CJ Logistics, Shinsegae, Lotte, in addition to Coupang and Market Curly, which have dominated the fast-to-consumer distribution market, have announced full-scale entry into the online LMD (Last Mile Delivery) market. 

Also, as the online food market grows to exceed 31,411.4 billion won by 2021 (Statistics Korea), the products in question are being introduced into logistics systems (new products) such as CJ Korea Express, Hanjin, Lozen, and Post Office to meet time. 

Self-employed people and consumers have also become criteria for choosing a delivery company based on the quality of the system and service of the logistics company.

Hanis, a domestic company, has its headquarters and research center in Korea, as well as branches in Hong Kong and China. It develops this intelligent logistics system and designs and manufactures hardware terminals such as PDAs (mobile devices) and scanners required to operate the system. and supplies them to large domestic companies, is operated by the company itself, and is also supplied abroad.

Moreover, a time when logistics efficiency and corporate security management are becoming a competitive advantage for companies, HANIS into WMS (Warehouse Management Systems), recently, by introducing UWB (Ultra Wide Range) introduced IPS (Indoor Positioning System) technology, opening the door to a new automated logistics management system by introducing our own system (called Place&Play) with additions.

The ultra-broadband technology of HANIS's Place&Play platform maximizes efficiency by identifying business logistics flow and intuitively displaying on-site operations in real- time and supports efficient planning and operations through the use of advanced artificial intelligence technologies.

This system can be used not only in simple logistics, but also in many other areas, and thanks to Harness's software development technology, it can be applied to other industries and security areas besides logistics.

Using this development technology, HANIS Co., Ltd. can implement a new logistics management system and a safety management system capable of responding to hazardous situations and the workflow of workers in hazardous areas at each industrial site.

In fact, the largest steel manufacturer in Korea uses a tow system. It is a testament to Harness' technological prowess in successfully building a system in the field with many steel structures that do not perform well in a wireless environment.

It is expected that HANIS Co., Ltd. will grow in the future as one of the few domestic companies in this type of business that provides customized systems tailored to the diverse needs of each company.
