AI-based timber Wood chips ship allocation planning Plan optimization system started operation
~Improving transportation efficiency and reducing logistics costs andGHG Emissions~
Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.
Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd. (head office : Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo,President and Representative Director: Toru Nozawa, hereinafter referred to as"the Company”) is pleased to announce that it is pleased to announce that it President and Representative Directoris an AI (algorithm,head office We introduced the first time in thepaper industrythat we introduced a timber Wood chips ship allocation Plan optimization system based on"AI”and started operation on June 14. the Company will reduce GHG Emissionsalong with the logistics costs of ocean transportation by improving transportation efficiency through the operation of this system.
The system formulates various constraints, risks, and costs to be considered when planning a vessel dispatchPlan, and automatically creates the optimal dispatchPlanin a short time by incorporating the experience and know-howof the person in charge into the AI. The use of this system enables the optimization of basic transportationPlanand the promptPlanin response to changes in daily conditions, resulting in a significant improvement inWood chipsefficiency of chip ship operation and a 2.8% reduction inGHG Emissionsrelated to overseasWood chipstransportation* and expect to reduce logistics costs.
The Company"a comprehensive biomass company shaping the future with trees”, we will continue to accelerate DX and continue to work on GHG reduction, which is part of global warming countermeasures, and contribute to the construction of a sustainable society.
*Based on the planned purchase volume of woodWood chipsin 2023, we compared the amount of woodWood chipsship fuel oil used at the time of introduction of the new system with the operation of the conventional ship allocation Plan.
