Safety Measures

Using robots for dangerous jobs

We are working to introduce robots to do dangerous work previously done by humans, such as in front of furnaces. We first introduced these robots in Hirakata Division, and have now introduced them in Yamaguchi Division and Kanto Steel Ltd. We are also using AI to perform image and video analysis to automate component analysis, in an effort to work with academia to solve issues and to continue to eliminate dangerous work.

Hands-on accident training

We use virtual reality (VR) technology to provide workers with opportunities to consider how to prevent accidents and become more safety conscious, by experiencing dangerous situations (such as falling, getting shocked, or getting caught in machinery) safely in VR.
