HII and HD Hyundai begin intelligent welding pilot at Ingalls
HII and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries began a pilot deploying intelligent mechanised welding systems in unit-fabrication areas at the Ingalls Shipbuilding division.
Evidence notes
- The systems automatically recognise workpieces and welding conditions and correct weld positions in real time.
- Captured process data will support quality control, process improvement and traceability.
- The pilot extends a 2025 cooperation agreement into fabrication areas that had relied predominantly on manual welding.
