Hyundai unveils revolutionary AI-powered car factory: Cars built and delivered in just 6 hours!
The factory can operate with fewer human staff while maintaining high productivity by relying on AI robots
Hyundai has introduced a groundbreaking AI-powered car factory that can manufacture and deliver vehicles within just six hours of receiving an order. This innovative facility, showcased at Hyundai's Innovation Centre in Singapore, emphasizes personalization and customer experience, targeting local urban markets and a shift towards a more upscale brand image.
Customers can participate in a unique experience that includes creating bespoke Hyundai cars, virtual reality simulations of the manufacturing process, farm-to-table dining at the Smart Farm, and even test driving the cars on the factory's rooftop track. Hyundai plans to expand this approach to personalize its wider lineup in the coming years.
Furthermore, the factory leverages a blend of human-AI collaboration, employing a meta factory with digital twins for efficient operations. This setup, combined with cell-based manufacturing and AI-driven robotics, allows the factory to operate with minimal human staff while maintaining high productivity. Hyundai's vision extends beyond just manufacturing, as they plan to utilize these Smart factories as hubs for shared mobility models, enabling the production of purpose-built, personalized vehicles, including self-driving options, to cater to various needs.
