Halla Group Holds 'Future Day'... Accelerating IT-Based Work Improvements

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Halla Group announced on the 6th that it held the '6th Halla Future Day' on the 4th at Mando Global R&D Center, attended by executives including Mongwon Chung, Chairman of Halla Group, Seokhwa Hong, President of Halla Holdings, Seokmin Lee, President of Halla, Kwangheon Kim, Vice President of Mando, and the teams that advanced to the Future Day finals.

Halla Future Day is Halla Group's representative innovation event aimed at 'discovering new businesses' and 'IT-based work improvement.' This year, about 150 people from 57 teams participated, and 12 teams that passed the preliminary round competed in the finals. The grand prize was awarded to the Halla Goddeal team and the Mando Anaconda team. The Goddeal team won in the 'new business sector,' and the Anaconda team was honored in the 'work improvement sector.'

The Halla Goddeal team proposed the 'Goddeal App.' The Goddeal App is a 'temporary materials direct transaction platform.' Temporary materials (construction safety supplies, furniture, containers, etc.) are mostly discarded at construction sites. This is wasteful in terms of both construction costs and disposal costs. The Goddeal App provides services such as exchanging information on temporary materials and direct transactions. It solves on-site concerns related to temporary materials, such as reducing construction costs and saving time. The Goddeal team received high evaluation scores in these aspects, won related awards, and has begun full-scale app development.

The Mando Anaconda team, composed of noise and AI experts, received the grand prize with the 'NoisEye platform.' NoisEye means 'eyes that see sound,' and it has a function where artificial intelligence analyzes noise to diagnose defects in the steering system. It is equipped with machine learning and deep learning technologies and is currently applied only to the steering system. It is expected to expand to brake and suspension products in the future and will likely be used for developing preventive maintenance service platforms.

Chairman Mongwon Chung said, "Every challenge is meaningful. Since young passion and continuous innovation are important, I hope you will devote yourselves with humanities attributes such as openness, flexibility, practicality, and creativity," adding, "The company will also support you with constant interest and encouragement. I hope new solutions will be found through the efforts of all Halla members."
