Green transformation is moving forward without delay. Materials, chemicals, and plants are among the industries in the midst of this transformation. Companies that are unable to grasp the trends of the times and continue to do business in the same old way will be eliminated. Companies must grasp the trends of the times and take on the challenge of transforming their business portfolios and business processes accordingly.
Development of Foreign Object Detection Service Using Image Recognition AI
We planned a service that uses image recognition AI to detect foreign objects mixed in scrap iron. We also managed vendors for system development and launched the service after implementing measures to accelerate AI learning.
Developing a Business Model Including LCA for the Sale of Low-Carbon Materials
Based on the results of the 3C analysis and a survey of subsidy trends, we selected promising low-carbon materials in terms of monetization and CO2 reduction effects, and developed a concrete business model proposal. We also established the implementation logic for LCA in CO2 reduction.
Global Strategy for Chemical Recycling Business Using Waste Plastic Processing Technology
As resource circulation accelerates globally, we envisioned a new business utilizing waste plastic processing technology. Identified priority countries based on regional characteristics and developed a business concept based on player trends.
Shift of High-Performance Materials to Southeast Asia
We developed a growth strategy for the Southeast Asian market through interviews with local manufacturers and competitive research. We promoted the shift to Southeast Asia in light of the risks in the Chinese market.
Promoting Data Leverage as a Key DX Strategy
We made operations that had long relied on "intuition and experience" more efficient by backing them up with past data. We supported the creation of highly "feasible" use cases, their prioritization, and the construction of prototypes.
DX and Project Management in Plant Construction
As the construction of new plants increases with progress toward carbon neutrality, the shortage of project managers and engineers had become apparent. We were advancing projects to prevent delays to the initial plan by enhancing efficiency through digital transformation and supplementing human resources.
