Pla'cello xChat® text generative AI for internal use
JFE Engineering has been utilizing generative AI since the release of Pla’cello xChatR, text generative
AI service for internal use, in September 2023.
Regarding generative AI as a key technology for improvement in business operations, we have established an
internal working group engaged in the following three activities for practical use of generative AI:
The scope of application in actual business operations is expanding. By combining generative AI with
conventional OCR
We also expect more effective utilization of underutilized documents including equipment specification
sheets and manuals. Going forward, we aim to expand these benefits by linking to Pla’celloR, internal data
analysis platform, and implementing multimodal capabilities that include images and videos.
JFE Engineering was selected as a recipient of a Fiscal 2024 (42nd) Information Technology Award
(transformation category) by the Japan Institute of Information Technology.
We were recognized for our various initiatives toward institutionalized reformation, including business
transformation, increased efficiency in operations, and creation of an IT/DX platform, initiatives that
have continued to steadily produce results.
Using generative AI for innovative improvements in productivity We have set up an official dedicated
website to
introduce DX initiatives. Please visit the site, which includes a message from the CEO and introductions
to our DX strategy, solutions, and latest initiatives.
