SEOUL, South Korea, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Twinny, led by co-CEOs Chun Hong-seok and Chun Young-seok, announced today that it will supply its autonomous robot-based picking solution, Nargo Order Picking, to Yongma Logistics, headed by CEO Lee Jong-cheol.
The Nargo Order Picking system is designed to assist warehouse workers in performing more tasks with greater ease and accuracy within the same space, without the need for structural changes or additional infrastructure. The solution displays product images and information on the robot monitor and confirms correct picking through barcode scanning, thus minimizing picking errors.
This agreement with Yongma Logistics, a subsidiary of Dong-A Socio Holdings, marks a significant milestone for Twinny. After successfully partnering with Han Express, securing Yongma Logistics as a client further establishes Twinny's presence in the comprehensive logistics sector.
Yongma Logistics plans to implement the Nargo Order Picking solution at its logistics center in Icheon, aiming to enhance productivity and improve worker convenience.
Twinny is optimistic that this supply agreement will demonstrate the effectiveness of Nargo Order Picking and pave the way for broader adoption in domestic logistics centers.
Jae-sung Kim, Head of Business Division at Twinny, stated, "In the logistics field, there is a growing focus on the productivity benefits of utilizing robots over relying solely on manual labor for order picking tasks. We will strive to establish our product as a reliable solution among comprehensive logistics companies in Korea through our partnership with Yongma Logistics."

THE KOREA INDUSTRY DAILY: Twinny to Supply Nargo Order Picking Solution to Yongma Logis
YOKOHAMA, Japan, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tsubame BHB Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Yokohama, Kanagawa Pref.; Representative Director and CEO: Koji Nakamura), which strives for the social implementation and commercialization of distributed ammonia production plants, has been named on Cleantech Groups. This annual 2025 Global Cleantech 100 list, now in its 16th year, showcases the most promising private cleantech companies making significant contributions to sustainable innovation.
Tsubame BHB was established in 2017 as a venture company originating at the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly the Tokyo Institute of Technology) with a Vision of "Tackle social issues, including environmental and food problems, using our unique state-of-the-art technologies." Its goal is to contribute to the on-site production of ammonia at distributed plants, using technologies that synthesize ammonia at low temperature and low pressure. Tsubame BHB uses electride catalyst technologies developed by Professor Emeritus Hideo Hosono and is focusing its efforts on the overseas deployment of these technologies, mainly in North and South America, Australia, and Africa.
With the recent selection, the company was recognized for its innovative technology that enables the manufacture of ammonia at low temperature and low pressure, and which reduces environmental impact in comparison to conventional technologies. Ammonia, in addition to applications in fuel and chemical fertilizers, has gained attention as an important material for achieving a carbon neutral society. Through technical innovations in this field, Tsubame BHB will continue to work toward the further realization of environmental value and a carbon neutral society by incorporating manufacturing processes that utilize renewable energy.
Tsubame BHB's main achievements
Last year, Tsubame BHB welcomed its first overseas investors, and procured capital totaling approximately 5.3 billion yen in a Series C round of financing. It has gained increasing attention from overseas, for example becoming the only Japanese company to be selected for the "Startup Scale Program" in Germany. Recently, CEO Martins Brinins of MP INDUSTRIES, a green hydrogen project developer in Estonia, came to visit Tsubame BHB. In addition, a group representing PT PLN, an Indonesian government-owned power company, visited Tsubame BHB's pilot plant. This is an indication that various countries are showing an increased interest in the company's technologies.
In Japan as well, the company has received an order for a second unit to be installed as a small industrial ammonia manufacturing facility, and this year, ammonia production is scheduled to begin at Tsubame BHB's first commercial unit in a small ammonia synthesis facility, which is being introduced for comprehensive verification tests in the manufacture and use of blue hydrogen and ammonia.
