DoHands announced on the 8th the early operating results of XFC, which opened in May as part of its Pumgo operating service. XFC is a 5,000-pyeong automated center located in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, and serves as a Pumgo build-out hub.
DoHands built XFC to respond to the era of agentic commerce, strengthen its logistics technology capabilities, and verify physical AI. The center is equipped with the company’s in-house warehouse management system (WMS) and warehouse control system (WCS), and operates on a structure that combines WMS, WCS, and Pumgo OperationalIntelligence (OI).
XFC was designed with flexibility in mind, both for responding to changes in the logistics environment and for meeting brand-specific requirements. It was also designed to allow sequential and variable expansion of work areas, as well as sequential and variable expansion of automation equipment.
As a result, XFC completed onboarding just 3 months after opening and achieved a 100% storage occupancy rate at XFC. Its daily maximum throughput is about 20,000 orders, and the automation processing ratio is 50%. With automation in place, per-worker packing productivity improved by about 90%.
The company said it has now stabilized warehouse operations after expanding the number of items handled in the warehouse to about 7,000 SKU (stock keeping unit).
The company said automation has significantly improved processing speed and efficiency. After introducing packing automation, the lead time per order was reduced by about 70% compared with manual work, packing time was cut by 40%, and per-worker hourly packing productivity increased by about 90%.
Based on this, Pumgo is continuously advancing storage efficiency using operational data. It is also pushing ahead with equipment placement and warehouse space reconfiguration tailored to each client’s volume characteristics, while planning to gradually raise equipment utilization rates.
Pumgo determined that XFC has achieved operational stability. Based on this, Pumgo plans to fully utilize XFC as a physical AI hub.
Pumgo believes that accommodating the different physical properties and product sizes of each client is key to efficiency. It also expects that XFC, with its scalability and flexibility, will be better positioned to respond than fixed installations.
Pumgo CEO Park Chan-jae said it is meaningful that XFC verified both operational efficiency and scale within 3 months. He explained that Pumgo has spent 11 years building operational intelligence before equipment, and that XFC is the first physical realization of that operational intelligence. He added that the latest results show up in numbers when technology and on-site operations are fully integrated.
Based on this achievement, Park said the company will push ahead with optimizing equipment configurations using operational data in the future. He also outlined a direction to establish Pumgo as a trusted logistics partner for brands in the era of agentic commerce.
