Zeon Corporation announced a new IoT platform. This platform aims to improve data use at its manufacturing sites. This initiative is a key part of Zeon’s smart factory strategy. This strategy started in 2020. It aims to boost production efficiency and maintain product quality through digital innovation.
Traditionally, Zeon kept its production systems separate. This provided strong security and blocked unauthorized access from outside. However, this isolation limited the ability to leverage operational data company-wide. The newly launched IoT platform resolves this challenge by enabling secure and centralized data use without compromising system integrity.
Built with support from Soracom Inc., the platform connects measurement instruments and factory systems through a closed cellular communication network, ensuring high security and flexibility. The system’s configuration eliminates the need for wired LAN installation, allowing easy and rapid sensor connectivity for on-site implementation.

The first application of this platform was at Zeon’s Takaoka Plant, where an equipment operation monitoring system was deployed after successful proof of concept (PoC). Since beginning full operations in May 2025, the plant has had fewer inspections. It also helps spot equipment problems early. This happens through real-time data analysis.
Zeon aims to expand its IoT projects at multiple manufacturing locations. This will help centralize and secure data management. This approach will boost productivity, improve predictive maintenance, and spark innovation in operations. It also sets the stage for better integration with AI and remote monitoring tech.
