Emuni and Chubu Steel Plate jointly launched a PoC to develop production-planning AI that automatically prepares production plans for the steel-sheet process. The AI is intended to interpret existing manuals and the decision criteria used by experienced personnel, and link automated plan preparation with plan-checking functions.
Emuni and Chubu Steel Plate jointly launched a PoC for production-planning AI in September 2026. The production-planning AI automatically prepares production plans for the steel-sheet process. The companies aim to create a planning process that does not depend on the experience of skilled personnel and can respond flexibly to changing conditions.
A key feature of the PoC is the joint development of a system that uses generative AI to interpret decision criteria from existing systems and manuals, while checking whether plans automatically prepared by the AI meet on-site conditions. The companies are advancing verification of a process in which planning and checking are linked and the AI creates candidate plans.
Going forward, they plan to verify the system's effectiveness through the PoC and apply it to production-planning operations while making agile improvements. The aim is to organize the decision criteria used by experienced personnel as an organizational asset, reduce rework, and stabilize planning quality.
