Hyundai Motor Group unveils cutting-edge wireless tech for smart factories

Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled its cutting-edge wireless technology used for the carmaker’s smart factory, the company said Wednesday. At Hyundai Motor and Kia's production facilities in Korea and United States, an array of high-tech, wireless-enabled robots — including automated guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots for logistics and even Boston Dynamics’ hazard-detecting robot dog Spot — play a central role in the manufacturing process. These robots do not follow preset paths; they must respond in real time to rapidly changing environments. To ensure a high level of responsiveness and precision, a robust and stable wireless communication infrastructure is essential. In recognition of the increasing sophistication and scale of robotic operations in their plants, Hyundai Motor and Kia have adopted next-generation wireless technologies to keep pace with evolving production demands. Notably, the companies have developed the world’s first integrated wireless communication terminal capable of simultaneously processing Wi-Fi 6 and private 5G (P-5G) networks.
