Creating New Business Models Using IoX

「We strongly drove customers' DX by supporting the construction of a remote monitoring system for a methane hydrate production test using our expertise in data utilization, and introducing a local 5G system at a driving test course.」

「A local 5G system, a high-capacity data transmission system that enables more efficient maintenance and inspection work through remote monitoring of power plant sites using video, audio and other data, as well as smoother transfer of technical expertise」

「We began providing DATAOPTERYX, our integrated data management platform used in this initiative, to companies promoting DX, and built an integrated data utilization platform jointly with a pharmaceutical company. In addition, for manufacturing customers, we began providing nsraven, a local 5G solution for remote operation of overhead cranes in factories, thereby advancing support for DX at manufacturing sites.」

「The data management service used on this platform has also begun to be sold as an integrated data management service to companies promoting DX. We also advanced support for DX at manufacturing sites, including by providing nsraven, a local 5G solution for remotely operating overhead cranes in factories, to manufacturing customers.」

「For Nippon Steel Corporation, we built “NS-IoT,” a wireless IoT sensor platform for centralized management of manufacturing-site data at each steelworks, and began full-scale operations in April for the early detection of equipment abnormalities. We also advanced initiatives to promote the company's DX, including building “NS-Lib,” an integrated data platform based on our integrated data management service that enables real-time understanding of management information and KPIs and facilitates appropriate action.」

「During the current fiscal year, we introduced and supported the operation of a new field test using a local 5G wireless network to promote DX for the manufacturing, energy and other industries.」

「We also began selling IoX predictive maintenance solutions using IoT and AI to address maintenance issues at plants and facilities.」

「To strengthen our services business, we proceeded with the rollout of an IoT-based safety and monitoring solution to new customers, promoted customers' digital transformation using DataRobot, the AI data analytics platform of US-based DataRobot, and developed our sales structure in Southeast Asia.」

「For 新日鐵住金, in addition to addressing the change in corporate name, we responded to the advanced use of IT at manufacturing sites using IoT and other technologies, and advanced initiatives to strengthen the 新日鐵住金 Group's business structure, including making 日新製鋼 a subsidiary and addressing the integration of the management of 新日鉄住金化学 and 新日鉄住金マテリアルズ.」

「Regarding the creation of new business models, we will work on solutions that use IoT to support safe and stable operations at large-scale plants and process production sites, the provision of the IoX Platform, an IT platform for collecting large-scale operational data and other data in real time, and machine-learning platforms using AI technology, including DataRobot.」

「Regarding the creation of new business models, the IoX Solutions Business Promotion Department established in April last year began providing IoX solutions (Note) to support the upgrading of on-site operations using advanced technologies such as AR (Augmented Reality) and wearables.」

「Regarding the creation of new business models, we established the IoX Solutions Business Promotion Department in April this year and promoted the development and preparation of solutions using IoT (Internet of Things) and IoH (Internet of Human).」

「Regarding the creation of new business models, led by the IoX Solutions Business Promotion Department established in April this year, we will develop and prepare solutions using IoT (Internet of Things) and IoH (Internet of Human) to upgrade and improve the efficiency and safety of production and logistics operations.」
