「Since fiscal 2019, we have made infrastructure investments on the scale of ¥10 billion, centered on stabilizing blast-furnace operations by addressing deterioration of ancillary equipment and using DX, AI and IoT technologies. Under the Seventh Medium-Term Management Plan, we are extending these initiatives horizontally across all processes.」
Investments centered on stabilizing blast-furnace operations are progressing toward horizontal deployment of DX, AI and IoT across all processes. J-dscom has also been deployed at all hot-rolling mills in each area. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「To stabilize blast-furnace operations, we have implemented focused measures since fiscal 2019, including infrastructure investment on the scale of ¥10 billion to address deterioration of ancillary equipment and use DX, AI and IoT technologies.」
Measures to prevent recurrence of blast-furnace problems continued to progress toward infrastructure investment on the scale of ¥10 billion, including DX, AI and IoT, and rapid blast-furnace restarts using data-science technologies. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「To stabilize blast furnace operations, the company has been implementing focused measures since fiscal 2019, including approximately ¥10 billion in manufacturing-base development investment to address deterioration of blast furnace ancillary equipment and utilize AI and IoT technologies.」
Measures to prevent recurrence of blast-furnace operating problems progressed to addressing deterioration of ancillary equipment, using AI and IoT, and infrastructure investment on the scale of ¥10 billion. - FY2019First statedAnnual report
「In response to these circumstances, we established a blast-furnace problem-response team and will steadily implement permanent measures to prevent recurrence, including responding to abnormalities, reviewing equipment inspection standards, and installing equipment to detect and address abnormalities at an early stage.」
Following operating problems at 3 blast furnaces, the company provided specific details for the first time on establishing a response team, responding to abnormalities, reviewing inspection standards and installing early-detection equipment as measures to prevent recurrence.
