This project established the “Smart Management Support Framework” (the “Management Framework”) of the Chemical Substance Internet of Things (IoT) by introducing virtual reality and augmented reality technology to assist chemical substance management and emergency response and handling the administrative support for chemical substance safety training. Using labeling technologies and electronic account mechanisms such as QRCode (Quick Response Code) and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to establish a Chemical Substance Internet of Things Management Framework, and tracking flow with mobile devices and equipment has helped the industry manage the flow of chemical substances and operational information; the results of the verification indicate that accuracy can reach 99%. Next, through the floor plan, we created a three-dimensional model of the plant and integrated the Management Framework and chemical substance hazard information and introduced virtual reality technology to each chemical substance operation site to visually monitor the operating information such as the current chemical substance name, storage amount, and hazard label so that professional staff in the workplace can assess storage risks and manage safety. In addition, augmented reality technology was used to assist in on-site inspection of chemical substances to instantly master the status of the operations and eliminate the need for traditional check-off forms. This project has completed the application and exercise of the Management Framework and real-world technology, the connection with the environmental resource data exchange platform (CDX), and the management of chemical substance safety training and related administrative tasks, and has planned the subsequent integration of technology to assist with chemical substance operation management, flow tracking, and location distribution technology integration in a phased manner to simplify the operation process, improve management efficiency, and ensure operational safety.
