Smart factory
Hyundai KEFICO is one step ahead to digitalize the manufacturing process.
- Manufacturing process innovation led by the organic connection of unlimited data

The smart factory, which is an advanced intelligent factory where no human labor is necessary, is the core of future-oriented factories. As a key innovation in the manufacturing process brought on by the acceleration of ICT technology development, the smart factory integrates the entire design, production, and distribution process with ICT technology, and is characterized by interconnected and integrated digital data. By analyzing and learning data in real-time and setting the most optimal operating conditions, the smart factory has the advantages of lowering costs, achieving high quality and high efficiency production, and quickly and flexibly responding to customer requirements and changes in the manufacturing environment.
Hyundai KEFICO is currently making the manufacturing process more intelligent. By transitioning towards smart factories centered around our Korea headquarters, we will implement connected manufacturing (expand production efficiency by linking data between factories), customized manufacturing (satisfy the diverse needs of each customer), worker collaboration manufacturing (increase productivity through human-machine collaboration), energy efficient eco-friendly manufacturing (forecast demand and monitor power/energy usage), and intelligent manufacturing (optimized processes with big data analysis and AI).
Hyundai KEFICO plans to establish flexible intelligent factories with 3 smart factory strategies:
the integrated digitalization of products and services based on accumulated knowledge and experience,
intelligent factory and facility control based on data, and manufacturing process and
logistics automation through efficient production.

Simulation
By establishing a virtual production environment, we are analyzing simulations from equipment placement to operator movements, facility operating conditions, and work sequences. By verifying designs and making improvement measures before actually producing the equipment, we prevent defects and initially stabilize the mass production.
Big data analysis/AI
Data utilization methods are evolving with the development of big data analysis and AI. We used to use data as a support tool for decision-making, but today, we are using machine-learning based data analysis to directly propose solutions. Hyundai KEFICO is using self-developed AI algorithms for our vision inspection processes. With the algorithms, wider and faster inspections are possible and even the smallest defects are caught, helping improve the quality of our smart factories.
Flexible production/automation
Hyundai KEFICO is constructing flexible production systems that enable varied and diverse production, and is effectively responding to the diversifying manufacturing environment. We are maximizing the production efficiency of each product by grouping similar products, and optimizing the locations of facilities and the arrangement of workers with prior simulations. Also, we are creating production lines that make process relocation easy with flexible work units, unified standard facilities specifications, and modularized facilities.
