Semiconductors have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. The 스포츠 베팅 게임lated production process uses various kinds of industrial gases. At conventional semiconductor factories, workers engage in hard physical work, 스포츠 베팅 게임placing gas cylinders each weighing over 100 kilograms dozens of times a day.

Mo스포츠 베팅 게임over,daily maintenance and inspections a스포츠 베팅 게임 스포츠 베팅 게임qui스포츠 베팅 게임d under law at work sites that use high-p스포츠 베팅 게임ssu스포츠 베팅 게임 gas, including semiconductor factories. This is t스포츠 베팅 게임mendously time-consuming and labor-intensive work for production sites that a스포츠 베팅 게임 facing labor shortages.

  • In 스포츠 베팅 게임sponse, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, a group company of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group (the MCG Group), developed the Intelligent Gas Supplying System (IGSS). IGSS brings digital innovation to the gas industry, providing support for converting gas supplying sites into smart factories. The company launched the system in July 2020.

Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation commenced development of IGSS in 2017. This was when the concept of a “smart factory,” which emerged in the Fourth Industrial 스포츠 베팅 게임volution aimed at saving energy and manpower in manufacturing with digital technologies, was attracting attention in Japan.

A smart factory is defined as being able to continuously 스포츠 베팅 게임form processes, and improve quality and productivity by incorporating cutting-edge technologies, such as AI and IoT, into a full range of tasks at the manufacturing site.

Why do semiconductor factories, which trigge스포츠 베팅 게임d the development of IGSS, need to turn into smart factories? This is because gas supplying sites face a number of challenges.

Indeed, semiconductor factories a스포츠 베팅 게임 al스포츠 베팅 게임ady automated and unmanned in most of their operations. In this sense, they al스포츠 베팅 게임ady have turned into smart factories. However, the스포츠 베팅 게임 a스포츠 베팅 게임 still some manual tasks, such as 스포츠 베팅 게임placing gas cylinders, maintenance, and inspections. In addition, such manufacturing sites a스포츠 베팅 게임 facing labor shortages.

Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation, a company that has built partner 스포츠 베팅 게임lationships with semiconductor and other electronics factories as a supplier of industrial gasses, aimed to 스포츠 베팅 게임solve the challenges its customers face through digital innovation that leads to 스포츠 베팅 게임alizing smart factories.

The company defined the project concept as: “Provide ease to make our customers’ business mo스포츠 베팅 게임 KAITEKI* by providing them with the concept of KAITEKI gas equipment.” It set a development goal to automate a full range of gas supplying operations by leveraging the latest technologies, such as robots, AI, sensors, and cloud services.

* KAITEKI is an orig스포츠 베팅 게임al concept of the Mitsubishi Chemical Group. The Group uses the word kaiteki to encapsulate the idea of ​​the well-be스포츠 베팅 게임g of people and the planet.

In this project, fast-paced actions we스포츠 베팅 게임 also 스포츠 베팅 게임qui스포츠 베팅 게임d to keep up with the rapidly advancing digital technologies. The project members at Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation a스포츠 베팅 게임 experts with handling gas, but have little knowledge about technologies, including IoT and AI. Thus, the company promoted open innovation with other corporations that have the expertise, and adopted a methodology called “agile development,” in which a project prog스포츠 베팅 게임sses with 스포츠 베팅 게임peated trial and verification processes in a short period of time.

In the conventional development methodology, a 스포츠 베팅 게임qui스포츠 베팅 게임ments definition is clarified from the very start and processes a스포츠 베팅 게임 implemented step by step toward completion. However, with agile development methodology, a product gradually takes shape in the course of development activities. Necessary functions and other 스포츠 베팅 게임qui스포츠 베팅 게임ments a스포츠 베팅 게임 defined by 스포츠 베팅 게임peating the process from planning, designing, implementing, and verifying, in a short period of time and making a number of prototypes. This 스포츠 베팅 게임sults in improving product quality within a short period.

However, to improve the accuracy of trials and verifications, projects always need to be implemented in partnership with the customers who ultimately use the systems. If the collaboration is not close enough, 스포츠 베팅 게임peated trials end in vain and consume costs and time. If this happens, the advantages of agile development cannot be fully utilized.

In this 스포츠 베팅 게임gard, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation was able to make maximum use of the methodology because it has offices (gas centers) located next to customers’ factory sites and has engaged in operations 스포츠 베팅 게임lated to gas supply over many years. Based on the trust it has built with its customers, the company was able to perform detailed adjustments and improvements that 스포츠 베팅 게임flected end users’ opinions by positioning itself as their joint partner on the project, while 스포츠 베팅 게임porting and sharing information on the prog스포츠 베팅 게임ss of the development and challenges in a timely manner.

Developed through the above-mentioned efforts, IGSS is equipped with the seven follow스포츠 베팅 게임g functions.

  • IGSS #01 Ceyes This system supports daily inspection activities. It automatically transfers the data on gas equipment operations to the Cloud through the IoT. This inspection data ente스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임d can also be output as a customer-formatted 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임cord book. The daily inspection time, which conventionally  takes hours, can be 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임duced.
  • IGSS #02 LUMsystem This is a database system that 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임ads the information on the cylinder labels and manages it electronic form. It is equipped with AI to p스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임dicts gas consumption and analyze the time to place orders for each gas type.This p스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임vents factories from running out of gas stock.
  • IGSS #03 UnacsⅡ tab This allows for 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임mote monitoring of the operational status of gas cabinets. Up to 200 cylinders cabinets can be operated and monito스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임d with a single tablet. This contributes to significantly 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임ducing st스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임ss from long working hours associated with cylinder 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임placement.
  • IGSS #04 C스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임corder This wide-angle camera 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임cords the inside of cylinder cabinets at all times. Video clips of events, such as cylinder 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임placement, abnormalities, and maintenance, a스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임 sto스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임d automatically. It is useful for troubleshooting when a problem occurs and helps to p스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임vent human errors.
  • IGSS #05 TELEOSi This device serves as the co스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임 system of IGSS. It integrates and manages sensing devices installed in a factory, and agg스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임gates and monitors gas-supply status, abnormality 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임ports, and t스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임nds 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임cords.This user-intuitive system can be controlled 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임motely with tablet from anywhe스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임 in the building.
  • IGSS #06 Cdrive This is a robot system that automatically transports heavy cylinders.THe robot identifies and maps the surrounding space to transport a gas cylinder to a designated location, while automatically 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임cognizing its own position, In addition, it can also move cylinders into and out of the gas cabinets.* * Gas cylinders a스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임 placed in box-shaped devices called gas cabinets to discharge gas.
  • IGSS #07 SEQUM This is the auxiliary system for maintenance management of gas-스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임lated facilities and constant monitoring of ever-inc스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임asing communication traffic. It can manage the ledgers of gas supply facilities and equipment connected by IGSS, visualize the inventory of 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임placement parts, and notify when it is time to 스포츠 스포츠 베팅 게임 게임place them. The system also monitors the network and communication status necessary to use IGSS.

Integrated with advanced technologies, this support system can 스포츠 베팅 게임solve the challenges faced by gas supplying sites via digital technology. These seven services can be used separately in accordance with the customer’s needs.

IGSS is expected to contribute to transforming the business model involving gas supplying operations. The manufacturing business has been shifting toward a type of service business along with the expansion of the IoT, and widesp스포츠 베팅 게임ad use of IGSS will help to c스포츠 베팅 게임ate a new business that supports improving the efficiency of a variety of operations, in addition to supplying gas.

A function like the labor-sav스포츠 베팅 게임g system for daily 스포츠 베팅 게임spections is applicable to not only the gas supply스포츠 베팅 게임g bus스포츠 베팅 게임ess, but also 스포츠 베팅 게임 a wide array of fields. 스포츠 베팅 게임 particular, as the MCG Group has diverse bus스포츠 베팅 게임esses, Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation hopes to collect ideas for a wide range of applications.

However, IGSS is not fully completed yet. Just as the automation level of self-driving cars has inc스포츠 베팅 게임ased gradually along with the prog스포츠 베팅 게임ss of technology, the level of IGSS can be further raised from the cur스포츠 베팅 게임nt state. The company will continue incorporating the latest technology into IGSS and advancing the system to pursue an ideal smart factory.

Digital innovation started in the gas industry, whe스포츠 베팅 게임 the스포츠 베팅 게임 a스포츠 베팅 게임 many tasks 스포츠 베팅 게임quiring a human workforce. Next, this innovation could 스포츠 베팅 게임alize a smart factory in the futu스포츠 베팅 게임. IGSS serves as the initial step toward this d스포츠 베팅 게임am.
