Founded in 1968, South Korean steel manufacturer POSCO supplies high quality steel products to more than 70 countries. In fact, POSCO’s Gwangyang Steelworks facility is the largest integrated steel plant in the world, generating nearly 23 million tons of steel each year alone.
Over the last decade, POSCO has actively deployed IoT technologies—including Boston Dynamic’s autonomous SpotⓇ robot—to improve operations, protect workers, and ensure the quality of its steel products. In recognition of POSCO’s efforts, the World Economic Forum named the company a “lighthouse factory” in 2019, an honor shared by only six other steel factories worldwide.
