- Partnership to support Hyundai's vision of becoming a smart mobility solutions provider for an entirely new digital ecosystem
- Metaverse-based digital-twin factory to optimize plant operation and allow virtual problem solving
- HMGICS innovation hub, which will be completed at the end of 2022, to be the first facility to implement Hyundai's Meta-Factory concept
The companies held a virtual MOU signing ceremony with Youngcho Chi, President and Chief Innovation Officer of
Through this MOU, Unity becomes a strategic partner to Hyundai, supporting its vision of becoming the leader in future mobility solutions. The MOU pertains to the fields of smart manufacturing, AI training and study as well as autonomous driving simulation.
The partnership will realize Hyundai's vision of becoming the first mobility innovator to build a Meta-Factory concept, a digital-twin of an actual factory, supported by a metaverse platform. The Meta-Factory will allow Hyundai to test-run a factory virtually in order to calculate the optimized plant operation, and enable plant managers to solve problems without having to physically visit the plant.
Hyundai plans to first apply the Meta-Factory concept to the HMGICS facility, supporting the Group's initiative to create an open innovation hub for research and development.
"HMGICS will become a manufacturing innovation "game changer" through this world class Meta-Factory collaboration", said
"Real-time digital twins will permanently change how we live, work, shop and make a positive impact on our planet, representing a significant component of what is often referred to as the metaverse," said
