Robots carrying golf bags…US Japan ‘Love Call’ [PEOPLE]<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>

4th floor of an apartment type factory near Gyemyungdae Station in Dalseo-gu, Daegu. I follow the instructions<\/span><\/p>

and they’re packing boxes. To Japan <\/span>This is Hello Caddy, the robot that exports. Hello Caddy is a self-driving car<\/span><\/p>

that <\/span>follows <\/span>golfers around with a golf bag to help them with their round. <\/span>An electric cart robot. Founded in 2014,<\/span><\/p>

T.T.N.G. debuted in 2019 after more than five years of development. On domestic and international golf courses<\/span><\/p>\n

After receiving great interest, the Kolon Garden Golf Course in Gyeongju purchased 120 robot caddies in 2021, and<\/p>

the golf <\/span>course is <\/span>now focusing on robot caddies. <\/span>It became an industry sensation. Military Gymnasium<\/span><\/p>

(Changgongdae),<\/span> Freedom CC, Club 72, Pine Beach, Southrings Yeongam, etc. <\/span>As of the end of August,<\/span><\/p>

more than 400 units were in operation at 25 domestic golf courses.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>\n

The founder is Baehee Lee. After discovering golf in the early 2000s, he quit his job at a retail<\/span><\/p>

conglomerate to pursue screen golf, outdoor driving ranges, and <\/span>He was serious enough about the golf industry<\/span><\/p>

to run it. <\/span>However, major golf courses are having a hard time finding caddies, and overseas golf courses are having<\/span><\/p>

a hard <\/span>time <\/span>finding caddies. <\/span>We saw a business opportunity in the ubiquity of self rounding.<\/span><\/p>

That’s how he founded TNT, and after five years of hard work, he created Hello Caddy.<\/span><\/p>

Exported 500 units to Japan alone this year<\/b><\/h4>\n

Post-launch, his focus is on international markets. “In Japan, in particular, we signed a contract with Shinsei <\/p>

Corporation and delivered 100 units in June, <\/span>We’re shipping 100 units in August,” he smiles. <\/span>The factory<\/span><\/p>

was busy building an additional 300 units contracted for delivery in the second half of the year. <\/span>In addition<\/span><\/p>

to Japan, this year’s export contracts total more than 500 units that will go to the U.S., U.K., and Southeast<\/span><\/p>

Asia. In particular, San Francisco’s historic <\/span>After being introduced at the golf course Lincoln Park, <\/span>local<\/span><\/p>

orders began to increase significantly. The so-called “robot caddy hallyu era” has begun.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s not just about selling products. With Hello Caddie, you can turn your IT system into an at a glance view of<\/p>

where your golfer is at any given moment. together to create an export strategy that would lead to high <\/span>volume<\/span><\/p>

purchases. “In Japan, golf courses have become a major source of labor for <\/span>It’s difficult, and the golf course’s<\/span><\/p>

IT system has a lot of room for improvement, but we’re solving a need, and we’re getting orders for 100 units<\/span><\/p>

at a time.” <\/span>Convey the local vibe. <\/span>“In addition to golf, we have been making various robots for laundry <\/span>collection,<\/span><\/p>

cleaning, and more, and the response from overseas has been great,” said Lee.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>\n

“We want to be remembered as a robotics company that ensures human leisure activities and creates<\/p>

an environment where people can live a humanized life,” he said.<\/p>
