According to automobile industry on Sunday, Hyundai Wia plans to apply IoT and big data technologies to its engine production factory in Seosan, South Chungcheong Province to turn it into a smart factory by 2019.
The IoT sensors to be attached to machine tools will monitor the operation of machines in the facilities in real time to promptly detect any unusual sign and prevent malfunction and breakdown of facilities. Technologies for remote repair also will be introduced.
Built in 2015 on a land of 420,000 square meters, the Seosan factory produces 300,000 units of gasoline turbo engines and diesel engines per year. The company hopes the new IoT solution dramatically improves its production efficiency.
In addition, Hyundai Wia plans to sell its smart factory solutions to other companies to make profits. The company already formed a task force team early this year and has been gathering big data on its machine tools’ operation. “We plan to sell the solution to both Korean and foreign auto part makers,” said an unnamed official at the company.
Hyundai Wia’s latest move comes as Korea’s top five manufacturing conglomerates including Hyundai Motor Co. are accelerating their efforts to switch their main manufacturing sites to smart factories in order not to fall behind their industry peers by improving the production efficiency.
