Hyundai Engineering Builds 'Design Virtualization System'... Expected to Improve Work Efficiency and Reduce Costs

Hyundai Engineering announced on the 1st that it has established a 'Design Virtualization System' to improve the efficiency of plant design work and reduce costs.

To build this system, Hyundai Engineering adopted Nutanix's 'Hyper-Converged Infrastructure' (HCI), a hybrid multi-cloud computing company.

HCI is a technology that simplifies data center infrastructure by combining and virtualizing computing, storage, networking, and more into one. Through this, the design work environment can be built in a virtual space instead of the existing physical space.

Hyundai Engineering expects improved design work efficiency and cost reduction effects from this system implementation.

First, the purchase costs for physical equipment such as dozens of server devices and workstations required for the number of design workers, as well as various software needed to build the design work environment, will be reduced. Costs can be cut by about 10% compared to before.

The project period is also expected to be significantly shortened. By utilizing the design virtualization system, the design work environment can be established within one month after winning a new project. Previously, it took several months for equipment purchase, transportation, and installation to build the design work environment.

The time and spatial constraints required for carrying out design work will also be reduced. As long as the internet is accessible, design work can be performed without limitations of time and space.

A Hyundai Engineering official said, “Through the establishment of the design virtualization system, we can secure not only improved work efficiency but also cost reduction and enhanced security.” He added, “This will serve as an opportunity to achieve results such as shortening the construction period in plant projects and further solidify Hyundai Engineering’s position as a global EPC company.”
