Establishing a new Data Strategy Team

Ebara Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Ebara") established a new Data Strategy Team under the direct control of the President on July 1st in order to respond more quickly to the rapidly changing business environment and to enhance the company's competitiveness.

In our long-term vision "E-Vision 2030" and medium-term management plan "E-Plan 2022," we aim to further accelerate and improve the quality of our management. In times of rapid change and uncertainty, it is essential to have and respond to diverse perspectives. To achieve this, management decisions need to be backed by objective, data-based facts.

The Data Strategy Team is an organization that reports directly to the President and will contribute to data-driven strategy formulation and decision-making through digital transformation (DX) technology. Specifically, the company will work to digitally transform manufacturing decision-making process mining using AI, IoT, and AR/MR*¹, build digital twins*², and work to improve business efficiency, automate, and unmanned operations. We aim to optimize business management on a group-wide and global scale, and to realize value-added decision-making in the management field.

In addition, in order for our company to continue to grow sustainably, it is essential to realize a "corporate culture of competition and challenge" where diverse human resources can work with a sense of fulfillment and ease. By collecting and analyzing information from various perspectives, such as people, things, and money, we will strategically design the human resources we need based on objective data.

In the past, we conducted post-event analysis after an incident occurred, but in the future, we will use digital twins in conjunction with the analysis and clarification of factors that influence decision-making in order to enable faster decision-making in real time.

EBARA Group aims to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and further enhance its corporate value by addressing key ESG issues based on its long-term vision and medium-term management plan.
