Green Chemical and Smart Manufacturing
With dedication to the R&D of green chemistry technologies, OUCC implements smart manufacturing and drives the transformation of chemical industry through eco-friendly practices and technologies. Envisioning the sustainable development of chemical industry, OUCC has adopted the “stable, safe and environmentally-friendly” approach for product development, established and promoted green chemistry strategies and actions to reduce the likely risks for human health, safety and the environment via assessment based on the concept of product life cycle.
In order to reduce the above risks, we formulate and implement green chemistry strategies and actions, including developing more environmentally friendly processes and raw materials, and optimizing and improving existing production processes to ensure that every stage meets the highest environmental and safety standards.
In terms of smart manufacturing, we introduce automation technology and AI data analysis tools to implement intelligent management of production processes to specifically improve production efficiency and effectively reduce resource waste and pollutant emissions. Through continuous exploration, research and development of emerging environmentally friendly technologies and strict compliance with environmental standards, we are committed to creating a more sustainable and safer chemical industry.


Green and Innovative R&D:
Innovative technology development must meet the requirements of environmental protection stipulation, and the R&D are encouraged to strive for the reduction of resource consumption from the environmentally friendly perspective.
- Development and design stage:Remove toxic substances from the environment and avoid residual substances contained in products or polluting the environment.
- Production stage:Reduce the loss of energy and resources and the emission of harmful substances.
- Product inspection:For newly developed and produced items, we conduct third-party inspection in accordance with customer’s specifications.

Regulation compliance:
Procured technologies are the technologies developed in conformity with relevant regulatory requirements.

Promote smart logistics and services:
Build a real-time database system (PI), actively incorporate new elements of "Internet of Things" and implement smart logistics and services.

Cultivate AI management talents:
Cultivate a new generation of AI management talents and create new value.

OUCC is keen on digital transformation by developing its own Operational Intelligence System. Such succinct, visualized cloud platform provides statistical data to the managers in all operational units to facilitate their decision making.
This powerful Operational Intelligence System helps the management and employees with no information background to benefit from learning.Decision making can be carried out effectively and reliably even without the assistance of IT personnel, marking a milestone for digital transformation.
Take liquefied gas for example, OUCC is strongly promoting its Smart Logistics and Services. The storage tank monitoring system installed at the customer site can analyze the usage status in real time. Automated delivery scheduling is implemented using AI technologies and big data, providing the customers with thoughtful and expeditious services.
To cultivate AI workforce for chemical industry, OUCC has selected its employees for training at the Taiwan AI Academy, in the hope of combining theory and practical knowledge, as well as bringing back solutions through interaction and experience exchange with other participants within the industry. Other benefits include improving operational efficiency with AI technologies, lowering production risks, and creating new values of smart manufacturing.
Developed by OUCC, theEnterprise Information Platform (EIP),featuring in digital bulletin board, document managing system, healthcare, and the like, can be accessed via computers and smartphones, which is helpful in reducing the in-person contact and minimizing transmission risks.
In particular, the "Health Care System" has been instrumental in enabling OUCC to track and safeguard the health of employees during the pandemic. Additionally, by fully digitizing administrative forms, a total of 58,956 documents were processed using electronic workflows in 2023,resulting in significant carbon emission reduction benefits.
Furthermore, during the pandemic, OUCC actively promoted the work-from-home mechanism and leveraged technology to reduce employee commuting and business travel(with 3,300 hours of video conferencing in 2023). This not only ensured the health of employees but also contributed to energy-saving and carbon reduction efforts.


AI for catalyst efficiency optimization – EOG Plant
By way of the further process and deep learning of AI through the experience-based operation data cumulated over the years, the optimized catalyst operation data provided by AI shall benefit future operation with effective succession, promptly and precisely locating the optimized point for catalyst, saving the cost of raw material.

AI for process reaction optimization – Process Development Dept.
The AI established model may help the researchers to quickly converge variables to seek the trends, improving R&D efficiency by lessening the number of experiment groups and saving cost, which differentiate the current formulation ratio adjustment of each batch through multiple experiments and experiences.

AI for new product process optimization – Material Development Dept.
By way of AI deep learning to converge variables and forecast the trends of process parameters. It helps not only shortening new product development timespan, but reducing carbon emission by lowering the production energy consumption.

AI for preliminary maintenance of GAS compressor – Maintenance Dept.
It aims to discover the abnormality rates of equipment by the AI model established through the deep learning from compressor vibration data to predict the key factors that trigger the abnormal vibration and future maintenance timetables, and check for instant maintenance when the abnormal factors appear unstable.

AI for customer’s order forecast – GAS Business Dept.
To optimize production line schedule and number of dispatch vehicle to avoid the likely non-loading dispatch rates by integrating AI deep learning model and customer’s storage tank level gauge data, usage and delivery frequencies to deduct the forecast model of customer demand.

AI for deduction of reactors’ molecular weight parameters – EOD Plant
The purpose is to set the raw material intake amount according to the theoretical amount during the batch production operation, and conduct sampling and testing during the reaction process. If there is a shortage, additional raw materials will be added until the specifications are met before entering into the next stage. Through the establishment of AI deep learning models to predict whether the product molecular weight meets product specifications, it is expected to reduce the number of samplings (or even eliminate the need for sampling), shorten reactor idle time, and improve product quality.

AI for production conditions optimization – EC Plant
The purpose is to establish an AI deep learning model for the production parameters of HPEC & semiconductor CO2 to find out the factors for causing unstable quality. Such applied manufacturing process can stabilize operating conditions and methods, gradually reduce the work duplication and emissions, and stabilize product quality.

With active deploy in digital transformation, energy saving and carbon reduction, OUCC introduced M365 platform of Microsoft cloud service in 2023, which not only facilitates the employees' access to MS office, but also provides real-time communications, and on-line meetings via TEAMS. A significant step towards the goal of energy saving and carbon reduction by the riddance of hardware servers.
