In the agreement, the three companies agreed to discuss mobility innovation, including planning elevator and robot interlocking services, business cooperation to secure competitiveness in robot services, and exploring new businesses.

With this agreement, the three companies are expected to lay the foundation for a new industry through the convergence of elevator, communication, and robot technologies, while also gaining competitiveness in the construction of Neom City in Saudi Arabia and the capital relocation project in Indonesia based on the "K-brand" smart building blueprint.
The elevator-robot linkage service can be utilized in various fields. It can be used in various fields such as food delivery service in apartment buildings, room delivery service in hotels, and drug and medicine transportation service in medical facilities.
