KSOE will deploy the operating system across its shipbuilding subsidiaries, which include Hyundai Heavy Industries Co, Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, to accelerate its ‘Future of Shipyard’ vision.
Foundry will be used across the shipbuilding subsidiaries to help teams improve safety and operational efficiency through data-driven decisions.
Under a pilot phase, the shipbuilding teams used the operating system to enhance the architectural design of ships, improve quality on production lines and integrate the output of big data analysis into standard safety procedures.
The Foundry system is already implemented at Hyundai Oilbank for crude oil selection and daily refinery operations.
