01 · CONCEPTBefore reducing delivery time,
INVENTORY FORWARDING
Before reducing delivery time,
move the inventory closer.
Naegok MFC is an operating case that places inventory storage and fulfillment functions in underused urban space at a service station. Beyond moving goods a long distance after each order, it tests and operates an inventory forwarding model in which inventory reaches the area of demand first.
02 · ACTUAL OPERATIONAutomated storage equipment,

Automated equipment moves between racks and approaches its designated storage location.
03 · APPROACHTurning software commands
PHYSICAL EXECUTION
Turning software commands
into movement in physical space.
An urban MFC is not simply a smaller warehouse. In a constrained space, decisions about what inventory to hold, where to place it, and how to retrieve it when needed must be designed as one flow spanning the operations system and physical equipment.
Dense storage
Automated equipment makes use of constrained space.
Connected action
Storage and fulfillment instructions translate into movement by physical equipment.
WHAT THIS PROVES
The path toward Physical AI
starts with physical movement.
Naegok MFC connects the operating strategy of inventory forwarding with physical execution by automated equipment in an urban space. Building on current automated operations, the longer-term direction is to expand toward more intelligent decisions and autonomous execution.
