Research into Preventive Maintenance Technology Using IoT Monitoring of Furnaces
First written in FY2017. 3 of 4 entries say "Advanced", first in FY2018. Latest entry: FY2021.
The whole theme swung hardest in 2021: 1 of 6 companies on the "Worse" side.
10 other companies' latest entry also says "Advanced".

「In addition, to promote the adoption of ICT technologies, we are developing the new product “Lambda Eye(TM),” which attaches sensing equipment to burners to assist with combustion adjustment in response to customer needs for labor saving and automation, as well as the new general-purpose system “CRism(TM),” which enables the low-cost introduction of visualization and centralized remote monitoring of the operating status of heat-treatment equipment.」
The IoT-related development work was made more concrete, covering furnace and burner sensing, assistance with combustion adjustment, and visualization and centralized remote monitoring of heat-treatment equipment. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「Our ICT technologies include technology that attaches sensing equipment to burners to assist with combustion adjustment, and the development of a system that continuously monitors furnace operating conditions and performs preventive maintenance based on changes in feature values over time.」
The approach to preventive maintenance through continuous furnace monitoring was made more concrete, advancing from developing a method to developing a system including sensing equipment attached to burners. - FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
「We are working to develop a method of continuously monitoring furnace conditions as an IoT application for furnaces and performing preventive maintenance based on changes in feature values over time.」
The description of continuous furnace monitoring and preventive maintenance based on changes in feature values advanced from “exploring” a method to developing one. - FY2017First statedAnnual report
「We are exploring a method of continuously monitoring furnace conditions as an IoT application for furnaces and performing preventive maintenance based on changes in feature values over time.」
A research theme involving continuous monitoring of furnace conditions and linking changes in feature values to preventive maintenance was stated for the first time.
