Use of ICT
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Digital Technology are rapidly becoming indispensable in people’s lives.
Nippon Steel believes that they also have become a critical element that encourages business innovation and affects corporate competitiveness. We are therefore focusing on how to make best use of ICT.
Integration of ICT departments
ICT realizes a new workstyle
We are establishing a Smart Platform, which enables us to 1) make communication anytime, anywhere, with anyone, 2) use ICT, including the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and the Self Business Intelligence (BI), to reduce to a bare minimum our
employees’ primary and incidental tasks at their work stations, and 3) support their intelligent work.
Basic to the Smart Platform is use of mobile devices (i.e., smartphones, tablets) in all working environments. We began distribution of mobile devices to on-site workers in fiscal 2017
and have almost completed it and better and more efficient safety checks have become possible.
The instant input and output of actual site/product information is leading to greater assurance of stable quality and stable operation and at the same time raise yield and productivity by preventing trouble.
