Development of Global IT Infrastructure under the One TOYO Framework

「From the perspective of corporate management reform, the company is using the “CMC (Corporate Management Cockpit)” as a support tool for each committee, which serves as an important decision-making body, and is promoting data utilization that links resource planning, DX investment, and risk management.」

「As a specific result, the system for detecting the risk of schedule delays in underground construction from 3D CAD models, which began application to actual projects in 2022 through joint development with HEROZ株式会社, produced clear results in 2023 and contributed to improved performance across the project. In addition, following efforts in 2024 to implement the AWP (Advanced Work Packaging) that the company emphasizes in projects, application in the EPC field expanded to 12 projects, and visualization and streamlining of schedules through DX made a significant contribution to improved profitability.」

「In 2023, the effects began to emerge in actual projects, and the contribution to improved project performance has continued to increase. The company will continue to deepen AWP implementation in projects, pursue end-to-end digitalization of project execution, and contribute to society through business reform and enhanced value delivered.」

「In fiscal 2022, the company also completed the construction and demonstration of an engineering data integration platform. The shift from document-centered to data-centered operations accelerated, and initiatives to digitally transform EPC projects as a whole through integrated management of data managed by the project, supply-chain, and construction departments, as well as application to actual projects, are progressing.」

「Specifically, real-time monitoring of project status was applied to 10 projects (7 overseas, including 3 projects originated independently by overseas offices, and 3 domestic projects), 3D design quality checks previously performed manually with substantial effort were systematized, design operations were automated, construction sites were digitized, and a framework was established to apply AWP (Advanced Work Package), a new EPC work process that enables engineering backcast from construction and commissioning, to actual projects.」

「In July 2019, the company established the DXoT (Digital Transformation of TOYO) Promotion Department and formulated a vision and roadmap toward 2025. Specifically, real-time monitoring of project status was applied to 5 projects, 3D design quality checks previously performed manually with substantial effort were systematized, and a framework was established to apply AWP (Advanced Work Package), a new EPC work process that enables engineering backcast from construction and commissioning, to actual projects.」

「During the year, the company introduced Hexagon’s Smart Plant Construction and began construction management using AWP (Advanced Work Packaging). It also improved design quality and streamlined quality checks by systematizing 3D design quality checks that had relied on experience. The company aims to improve productivity and operational speed by verifying digital technologies such as RPA (Robotic Process Automation), BI (Business Intelligence), and AI and applying them to operations sequentially.」

「During the year, the company considered reforms to its methods for executing EPC projects and proposed Advanced Project Execution, which uses Digital technologies that have seen significant functional improvements in recent years, linking it to implementation from the next fiscal year onward. It also developed a vendor evaluation and management system to reduce loss costs arising from quality problems with vendor-supplied equipment and materials, seeking to improve procurement quality through appropriate vendor selection and ordering. In addition, it began considering productivity improvements through the use of robotic technology for repetitive tasks such as transcription and aggregation in many design and administrative operations, removing them from sequential manual processing through RPA (Robotic Process Automation). As the first such initiative, it developed a Digital Assistant service to improve the accuracy of work-hour management and streamline the recording of actual work hours.」

「To enable smooth communication with its globally distributed offices and partners, the company is promoting use of a new information platform for sharing information and workflows. During the year, it evaluated the introduction of an engineering workflow management system, enhanced the functions of its document management system, and verified the migration of its 3D system to the cloud.」

「To develop an IT platform that improves the efficiency of its globally deployed operations, the company is promoting the use of a new information platform for smooth communication and information and workflow sharing with offices and partners. It is also continuously working to enhance project management and on-site construction management and visualize information, focusing on creating an environment for project execution across remote locations and multiple offices.」
