Hyundai Heavy Industries announced that it has applied artificial intelligence and its own Hyundai Intelligent Equipment Management Solution to enhance its independent Hi-Touch Marine and Stationery Engine.

HiEMS and AI collect and analyze the big data and real-time information of a vessel’s engine, and make adjustments to optimize fuel efficiency, the company said.

Since it developed its HiEMS in 2018, the shipbuilder has obtained deals for 45 vessels (170 engines) and transferred 40 engines for 10 of the vessels.

“In line with the era of the digital transformation, Hyundai Heavy Industries will continue to maintain its technological advantage to overcome the strong competition from China and Japan’s shipbuilding industry through the development of smart ships using advanced technologies,” HHI said in a release.
