At present, the technology is also used in automobile production robots and excavators and other products.

R & D of new equipment, Hyundai Heavy Industries has developed a ship power distribution equipment, automatic power-off device, which can be applied to high current power distribution equipment, the ship has changed South Korea has been importing from Europe, the situation of the device. Meanwhile, Hyundai Heavy Industries developed a ship’s ballast water tank of electronic remote control valve. The traditional ballast valve through hydraulic pumps and a large number of hydraulic lines to control, and this new type of automatic remote control valve to control through the circuit, with operation and accurate, saving time and space advantages, while helping to ship design to simplify and shorten the shipbuilding cycle.

In addition, Hyundai Heavy Industries has also developed the use of marine engineering equipment, a self-developed “integrated case management system.” The system can work on sea equipment design, production and material procurement, etc. play a supporting role, helping to reduce production costs, save foreign exchange expenditures.
