On March 16, 2026, the Industrial Development Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs hosted the “Smart Technology Exchange and Sharing Conference for Linyuan Industrial Park” at the Kaohsiung Software Technology Park. TVCM Linyuan Plant actively invested resources to implement smart safety technologies, achieving outstanding performance and earning recognition with the Best “Smart Application Practice Award.” At the ceremony, Chairman Mr. Yeh Chun-Chang represented TVCM in receiving the award and delivered a keynote speech titled “The USI Group’s Promotion of Smart Petrochemical Transformation and Experience Sharing.” This presentation highlighted TVCM’s remarkable contributions to digital transformation and ESG-driven sustainable development.
Facing challenges such as aging petrochemical equipment, shortage of skilled manpower, and the transition toward net-zero carbon emissions, TVCM has adopted “Safety First” as its core strategy and comprehensively implemented six mature smart technologies. The company’s concrete ESG practices are as follows:
Environmental Protection: Precision Monitoring and VOCs Smart Detection
- VOCs Intelligent Monitoring: A VOCs monitoring platform and integrated three-in-one monitoring network have been established to track real-time dynamics within the plant and its perimeter. This system has successfully reduced the annual incidence of abnormal high-concentration VOCs leakage, effectively preventing equipment component emissions from exceeding regulatory limits.
Social Responsibility: Safety First, Building a Workplace with Zero Blind Spots
- Personnel Positioning and Protection: High-precision real-time personnel positioning and electronic fence monitoring have been introduced to prevent unauthorized intrusions. The system provides abnormal alerts and emergency call functions, ensuring comprehensive control over workplace safety for all staff.
- AI Smart Video Safeguards: During tank truck loading operations, the system automatically checks compliance with SOPs such as static elimination and wheel chocking. In case of violations, real-time voice prompts are played to correct actions, proactively safeguarding operational safety.
Corporate Governance: Smart Brain to Enhance Operational Resilience and Competitiveness
- Information Integration and Decision-Making: Established the PSM Smart Management Platform to enable cross-departmental data management and secure information exchange, while addressing the shortage of skilled technical personnel.
- Predictive Equipment and Risk Control: Implemented predictive diagnostics for rotating equipment and an AI real-time underground pipeline leak detection system. By accurately forecasting equipment health conditions, the company significantly reduced risks of unplanned shutdowns and minimized operational interruption losses.
In addition, TVCM has invested NT$3 billion over a 10-year period (2016–2025) in the planned replacement of process and environmental protection equipment. By integrating AI-based process safety monitoring, the company continues to enhance equipment reliability and production efficiency while reducing the risks of occupational safety and environmental incidents, successfully achieving the goals of smart transformation and sustainable management.
