• Adopted emerging AIoT technologies in areas such as occupational safety intelligent inspections, digital fence and surveillance systems, and improved energy efficiency of naphtha cracking plants. Such efforts improved the safety of the environment, product quality, and production efficiency.
• Responding to the trends of the Internet of Things, cloud services, and mobile applications, CPC has built a company-wide optical fiber infrastructure, integrating audio and multimedia communication services.
• Continuous equipment update and optimization of off-site backup mechanisms to ensure business continuity. • Adopted cloud computing and established a virtual server operating environment to build a hybrid cloud
service structure that combines private and public clouds.
• Managing and visualizing CPC’s vital operational data, expanding inventory and integration efforts to provide reliable data for decision-making, and laying the foundation for comprehensive big data analysis across units and datasets.
Cybersecurity:
• Established a security operation center (SOC), deploying intrusion detection and defense system, anti-virus security mechanism, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) defense for emails and websites, email filtering, website application firewalls, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools to strengthen cybersecurity of the overall information environment.
• Conducting regular security inspections, firewall policy reviews, cybersecurity health checks, the scanning and patching of vulnerabilities in personal computers and servers, and organizing red team exercises to evaluate the comprehensiveness of cybersecurity and the information and communication systems.
• To follow the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) principle, CPC regularly conducts business continuity and cybersecurity exercises, ISO 27001 (information security management systems) third-party certification, internal cybersecurity audits, and on-site cybersecurity audits for contractors.
• Introduced two-factor authentication and behavioral analysis for identity protection to enhance the security of personal identities and user accounts. The company also established a cybersecurity risk management system that examines the risk exposure of CPC, contractors, and suppliers on the Internet.
• Enhanced the security and protection of the industrial control system to ensure that Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) is operating correctly.
5G AIoT Application and Development
In the early days of digital transformation, CPC took the lead in introducing the most advanced program control computer, DCS, in 1985. In order to improve the quality of production control, CPC introduced advanced process technologies many years ago, and established three research institutes that are dedicated to various research studies on intelligent transformation. In recent years, due to the maturity of
AI technology, CPC has established the 5G AIoT Promotion Office in 2021. The
office has identified five major areas for smart transformation, which are:
(1) intelligent industrial safety; (2) environmental protection and net-zero
carbon emissions; (3) equipment reliability; (4) process optimization;
and (5) operation management. At present, the company’s related
intelligent transformation is spreading within the organiztion and
gradually showing results.
The eight major Business Divisions of CPC have started to introduce advanced AI intelligent transformation in five key areas, and have obtained considerable results. Noteworthy examples include:
• AI fault identification technology based on motor current spectrum was successfully applied to a sulfur plant;
• A field test on a long distance pipeline leakage detection was successful. This technology can provide very reliable early warning for CPC’s thousands of underground long-distance pipelines.
• A robot dog was introduced, through which the dog can enter a hazardous area to take various readings.
• By using the Process Information process dynamics database system, CPC established key equipment health indicators.
CPC will continue to build upon its achievements by expanding the integration of advanced AI technology in the five key areas to establish as an enterprise at the forefront of AI-driven smart transformation.
