There is a growing movement among steel manufacturers to introduce systems that remotely support various operations at manufacturing sites using cameras and wearable terminals.
Among these, Nippon Steel has introduced a system that distributes cameras and wearable terminals to workers at steel mills and allows managers to remotely instruct various equipment inspection tasks.
An administrator at a distant place can check the image of the camera attached to the helmet by the worker and give instructions on inspection and repair methods.
In addition, it is possible to grasp the location information and pulse of the worker through the wearable terminal, and to manage the safety of the worker remotely.
As a result, it will be possible for even one person to do the work that was being done at multiple sites at the manufacturing site, and we plan to distribute the terminals to about 20,000 people working at steelworks nationwide this year.
Yoshiaki Nakagawa, Senior Manager, Digital Reform Promotion Department, Nippon Steel Co., Ltd., said, "We would like to further advance digitalization so that we can grasp the situation of the production site no matter where we are."
Originally, such a system was designed to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing site and respond to labor shortages, but since it also has the effect of preventing so-called "3 density" due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, there is a movement to introduce it at other manufacturers as well. Is spreading.
