Future Manufacturing Technology as part of the Innovation Journey of HMGICS

Future Manufacturing Technology

Driving the Group’s Software-Defined Factory vision

The Group’s first smart factory and pioneering base for the SDF testbed, HMGICS was established in response to rapid changes in the global manufacturing landscape where digitalization, agility, and intelligence are increasingly critical.

Designed as a next-generation facility, HMGICS redefined how factories are built and operated where cloud platforms, digital twins, AI, and connected systems drive production with unprecedented flexibility.

Driving the global horizontal expansion of manufacturing technologies and systems, solutions proven in HMGICS are now being deployed across Hyundai’s global production sites including Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA).

Integration of virtual and physical realms

Integration of virtual and physical realms

Through the integration of digital twin technology, HMGICS effectively unites the virtual and physical realms, enabling a data-driven ecosystem where every process is analyzed and optimized in real time. Through its dynamic digital replica, HMGICS can simulate scenarios, fine-tune operations, and drive continuous innovation, ensuring peak productivity while advancing its capabilities towards SDF.

Harmonization of human experience with robotics

Harmonisation of human experience with robotics

At the heart of our approach is a human-centric philosophy, where skilled experts collaborate with advanced robotics.
This partnership allows our people to focus on creative and strategic work, while repetitive or highly precise tasks are automated, demonstrating how HMGICS is redefining next-generation manufacturing.

next generation
Corporate Lab

Harmonisation of human experience with robotics

Through a tripartite partnership with NTU and A*STAR, HMGICS established Singapore’s industry-academia-government Corporate Lab in automotive manufacturing to strengthen SDF technology capabilities through continuous collaborative efforts in artificial intelligence and robotics. This involves building core manufacturing R&D technologies including machine intelligence, quality, logistics and maintenance to support autonomous manufacturing plant operations.

Production of the first made-in-Singapore EV
