Huntington Ingalls Industries expanded its strategic partnership with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries via a pilot to add intelligent mechanized welding at Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The program targets unit-fabrication areas that rely mainly on manual welding, aiming to improve safety, efficiency, quality control, and traceability.
The collaboration follows a 2025 memorandum of understanding focused on U.S.-Korea shipbuilding cooperation.
The equipment is designed to recognize workpieces, adjust welding positions in real time, and capture process data to support production improvements.
