Hyundai Motor Company and TeamViewer, a global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalization solutions have formed an alliance.

This partnership is to digitalize business operations and manufacturing processes for Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre in Singapore (HMGICS).

HMGICS’ chief executive officer, Hong Bum Jung, remarked, “We are pleased to have TeamViewer as a key technology partner for digital transformation in building a smart factory. Developing an intelligent manufacturing platform is an important part of Hyundai's strategy to lead the future mobility industry. We are continuously innovating the overall mobility value chain, which includes presenting a vision for a future mobility smart factory. We expect the partnership will further accelerate our transition to a smart factory and enhance its efficiency.”

Notably, they will maximize digitalization benefits in HMGICS’ smart factory using TeamViewer’s augmented reality (AR) platform.

Of which, includes mixed reality (MR) and artificial intelligence (AI) that will support assembly, maintenance, quality management, logistics, client experience projects and workforce training.

The two entities will conduct joint research and development (R&D) activities in AR-powered operations, immersive digital experience and AI support for a future automotive factory.

TeamViewer Asia Pacific’s president, Sojung Lee, commented, “We are excited to collaborate with Hyundai Motor Company in digitalizing manufacturing processes and building an automotive factory of the future. As digital transformation has accelerated on the shopfloor, there is a growing need for AR solutions like TeamViewer Frontline that helps by optimizing manual work processes in industrial environments. Our collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company will further solidify our position as an enterprise software provider with specialized solutions for the manufacturing industry and it will strengthen our role as a leading player in the industrial metaverse space.”

On that note, the partnership will drive increased productivity, accuracy, speed and safety of frontline production workers. 

To leverage these benefits for the industry, the two parties will also pursue global joint marketing of smart factory and enterprise AR technology.

Overall, HMGICS, the Group’s test bed and a global open innovation hub, aims to develop new EV business models, forge innovative partnerships, produce mobility products, and develop the Group’s intelligent manufacturing platform to revolutionize the overall mobility value chain.
