SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "We are drawing on the latest innovation in AI (artificial intelligence), digital twin, and so much more to transform our shipyards."
HD Hyundai Executive Vice Chairman Chung Kisun emphasized his commitment to building an integrated, optimized, and automated future shipyard that minimizes human intervention, highlighting the company's intention to actively leverage technologies from global tech companies. To achieve this, HD Hyundai is strengthening its cooperation with global leaders, including Palantir, a software company that enables AI-driven decision making, and Siemens, a global industrial solutions provider.
Recently, Palantir released a promotional video on its official YouTube channel on the 26th showcasing its partnership with HD Hyundai to help digitally transform their shipyards. This video is a full version of what was shown at Palantir's booth during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 (Davos Forum) in Davos, Switzerland this January.
In the video, Executive Vice Chairman Chung Kisun stated "For many decades now, HD Hyundai has been leading the world's shipbuilding industry with the most innovative technologies. Together with Palantir, (we are) drawing on the latest innovation in AI, digital twins, and so much more to transform our shipyards, unlocking a whole new level of productivity and safety."
Emile Victor, Forward Deployed Engineer of Palantir said "I believe their commitment to leveraging software for operational innovation positions them as a leader in digital transformation within the shipbuilding industry."
The video introduces the blueprint of HD Hyundai's Future of Shipyard (FOS) project, specifically demonstrating how they are applying Palantir's big data software platform, Foundry. FOS is an advanced shipyard project that HD Hyundai has been pursuing since 2021, integrating digital technologies such as data analytics, virtual and augmented reality, robotics, automation, and AI.
This three-phase project aims for completion by 2030. Following the first phase, the "Visible Shipyard", the project is currently in its second phase, "Connected and Predictively Optimized Shipyard." The final phase, "Intelligent Autonomous Operating Shipyard", ultimately aims to minimize human intervention. Upon project completion, productivity is expected to increase by 30%, while shipbuilding time will be reduced by the same rate.
