Doosan Infracore-Unity Sign MOU for Smart Construction Solution

'Digital Twin' Virtual Verification Technology
Improving Productivity and Safety at Construction Sites

Doosan Infracore's Concept-X, the world's first comprehensive unmanned automation control solution for construction sites, introduced last year.

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Doosan Infracore announced on the 13th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the global game engine developer 'Unity' to develop a construction process simulator. This is the first time in the domestic construction machinery industry that a collaboration project with a game engine developer has been undertaken.

Through this MOU, Doosan Infracore and Unity have agreed to mutually cooperate in developing a 'simulator' that implements virtual construction processes. The company will receive the game engine and technical know-how from Unity to design the basic structure of the simulator and develop its key functions.

The simulator jointly developed by the two companies will apply 'digital twin' technology that transfers the physical elements of construction sites, where various construction machines including excavators operate, into a virtual environment. It is planned to enhance work management efficiency while identifying potential planning errors and safety accident risks in advance, enabling precise and rapid construction work.

Even after the simulator development, they plan to continuously advance virtual verification technology by adding features such as cloud computing and a simulator editor. They will also collaborate on marketing aspects and build a business model.

Meanwhile, Unity is a global game engine company that created the world's most widely used real-time 3D development platform. The Unity game engine was installed and utilized over 37 billion times worldwide last year.

Lee Dong-wook, Vice President of the Technology Center at Doosan Infracore, said, “The simulator developed with Unity is one of the core element technologies for realizing the future construction site solution Concept-X that Doosan Infracore is creating. We will actively promote open innovation across different industries and lead value creation and paradigm shifts in the infrastructure solution field.”
