Case Study: Tosoh Corporation achieves safer, more efficient manufacturing operations with Cognite Data Fusion

Tosoh centralizes 900,000 records in 6 months with Cognite

Tosoh Corporation, a comprehensive chemical manufacturer, faced challenges on its manufacturing shop floors due to a generational shift in its workforce. This led to a heavy reliance on veteran employees and difficulties for younger operators in accessing critical knowledge to respond to incidents, with approximately 45% of human-factor troubles stemming from knowledge gaps. To build a safer and more secure workplace, Tosoh partnered with Cognite to implement its Cognite Data Fusion® platform.

Cognite's solution connected and centralized over 900,000 pieces of previously scattered data, which was implemented across two major complexes in just six months. This provided operators with seamless, chain-link access to information, drastically reducing the time spent searching for data. Key results include streamlined communication via digital whiteboards, real-time remote monitoring of control systems, and the visualization of veteran skills for better decision-making. Cognite enabled Tosoh to establish a company-wide standard model and build a framework for sustainable manufacturing.
