AI and 5G drive digital transformation in manufacturing and construction

The manufacturing and construction sectors are undergoing significant digital transformations driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced connectivity. In manufacturing, the shift from simple automation to autonomous manufacturing is being facilitated by 5G private networks. These networks serve as a critical infrastructure, providing the low latency, high reliability, and security required to connect autonomous mobile robots (AMR), humanoid robots, and digital twin technologies.

Simultaneously, Hyundai Engineering & Construction is accelerating its AI transformation (AX). Approximately 70% of its employees are now utilizing AI systems to enhance operational efficiency. Key applications include an AI-based contract review system to mitigate legal risks, generative AI for 24-hour customer consultation, and smart safety electronic boards at construction sites. The company is also implementing specialized AI tools like 'HAI' and 'M365 Copilot' to assist with document drafting, translation, and meeting minutes, while fostering an AI-centric organizational culture through dedicated training and expert programs.
