Hyundai Engineering announced on Nov. 1 that it has built a Design Virtualization System.
Hyundai Engineering plans to lead the construction industry’s virtual design field by introducing Nutanix’s Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) technology and independently building and operating its own plant design virtualization system.
HCI is a technology that combines computing, storage, and networking to simplify data center infrastructure and provides it in a virtualized format. In this way, the design work environment can be set up in a virtual space rather than a physical one.
Through the establishment of the design virtualization system, Hyundai Engineering anticipates improvements in design work efficiency and cost-saving benefits.
Primarily, the construction of the design work environment will result in savings from the purchase of physical equipment like dozens of server devices and workstations needed for each designer, as well as various software. It is expected to reduce costs by over 10% compared to the existing system.
A representative from Hyundai Engineering said, “By constructing the design virtualization system, we can not only improve work efficiency but also secure cost-saving and enhanced security benefits. This will pave the way for Hyundai Engineering to reaffirm its position as a global EPC company by producing results such as shortening the lead time in plant projects.”
