We are pleased to announce the upcoming Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT International Symposium 2023 entitled Competitive Strategy in “Manufacturing Data Spaces”
Recent changes in international circumstances, such as the tensions between the United States and China and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have had a significant impact on our country’s manufacturing industry. Specifically, issues related to supply chain resilience, such as reevaluating procurement sources and reconfiguring production bases, have become critical. Simultaneously, there is a growing focus on climate change and human rights issues, necessitating collaboration across companies and nations to strengthen supply chains collectively.
The evolution of digital technology is driving significant transformations in the manufacturing sector. Germany’s Industrie 4.0, for instance, is promoting industrial transformation based on autonomy, interoperability, and sustainability, with initiatives in data spaces advancing to practical stages and global discussions progressing. Similarly, the United States is making strides in Advanced Manufacturing, emphasizing innovation.
In light of these developments in the digital economy, it is imperative that we address how we perceive and adapt to these changes promptly. Recognizing this urgency, RRI has collaborated with leaders and experts from both domestic and international arenas to organize the 9th Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT International Symposium. Our aim is to leverage our strengths, share challenges in leading the world, and provide a platform for discussing future prospects. We sincerely invite you to join us in this endeavor.
Thank you for your attention and support, and we look forward to your participation.

［Session 1］Case Study : Manufacturing Data Spaces
We will study how the transition of manufacturing in the digital era is happening through practical examples. In particular, we will understand how industrial data spces will be used by its users, manufacturing companies, through the introduction of practical examples.
(1) 10:00 – 10:05 Opening Remark
Mr. Michitaka Nakatomi（Management Secretary, Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT Initiative）
(2) 10:05 – 10:20 Building the future industrial data economy
Mr. Markus Heß (Deputy-Director General, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action(BMWK))
Industrial data ecosystems are a prerequisite for supply chain resilience, sustainability, and competitiveness. The international community should be able to build a global industrial data ecosystem that will facilitate innovation while ensuring the data sovereignty of all participants.
(3) 10:20 – 10:45 Catena-X: The first open and collaborative data ecosystem – realizing the data value chain
Mr. Hagen Heubach (Catena-X Automotive Network, Board Member / SAP SE, Head of Industry Business Unit Automotive, Global Vice President)
Resilience, sustainability and competitiveness for the international Automotive industry ignited the creation of the Catena-X data ecosystem three years ago. Realizing value in an ecosystem based on data exchanged efficiently, secure and openly, creates economic advantages for companies adapting early.International and cross-industry collaboration is essential to create value across all organizations participating, yet avoiding multiple standards where possible to reduce complexity and increase adoption. Catena-X is now ready to serve the Automotive industry across regions and help establish a common language to facilitate growth and innovation.
(4) 10:45- 11:10 Industrial Dataspace approach
Mr. Ingo Sawilla (Trumpf Werkzeugmaschien SE, Coordinator Datagovernance ＋Datasecurity)
The European strategy for data is relevant in various sectors such as environment, agriculture, industry, health, and transportation. Manufacturing-X aims at implementation in these sectors. The legal preconditions will be created, and more and more data will be shared in the future. At the same time, the data producers should retain control of their data. Contemporaneous the importance of cybersecurity and data governance, and data protection will become even more crucial. New technologies for data analysis, machine learning and blockchain will enable digital value creation. Based on business example, it is explained where the benefits are, and which challenges have to be solved internationally.
(5) 11:10 – 12:00 Panel Discussion
【Panelist】
Mr. Markus Heß (Deputy-Director General, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK))
Mr. Hagen Heubach (Catena-X Automotive Network, Board Member / SAP SE, Head of Industry Business Unit Automotive, Global Vice President)
Mr. Ingo Sawilla (Trumpf Werkzeugmaschien SE, Coordinator Datagovernance ＋Datasecurity)
【Moderator】
Dr. Naohiko Irie (Co-chair person, WG1, RRI / Senior Strategist, Control System Platform Division,Social Infrastructure Business Unit, Hitachi Ltd.)
Based on the presented case studies, we will discuss the motibation, benefits, concerns and differences as well as how it differs from traditional data integration with customers and suppliers from the perspective of data space users.
［Session 2］ Leaders Dialogue:Data circulation and value creation
Inviting Thought Leaders from the world to introduce regional developments, taking into account the discussions in Session 1, and to provide insight into the vision for the global industrial digitalization in 2023. Each speaker will discuss the direction they believe the world should be heading in the future and the current challenges, exploring how data space and digital twins are related. This forum aims to not only view data circulation and digital twins as mere technologies but also as a reflection of the motivations and underlying contexts driving them.
(1) 13:00 – 13:05 Opening Remark
Mr.Hiroki Murakami (Co-chair person, WG1, RRI / Technical Advisor Technology & Intelligence Integration IHI Corporation)
(2) 13:05 – 13:25 Data Sharing in Industrial Data Ecosystems
Prof. Dr. -Ing. Boris Otto (Fraunhofer ISST, Director / Fraunhofer ICT Group, Chairman of the Board of Directors / TU Dortmund University, Chair of Industrial Information Management)
Data is a resource for competitive advantage of the industrial enterprise and for economic resilience and sustainability. The value of the data resource can only be captured, though, when data is used. While in the past, many industrial enterprises focused on maximizing the use value of data for internal purposes, data ecosystems aim at addressing opportunities and challenges that go beyond the boundaries of the individual companies. Industrial data ecosystems make use of data from different sources to realize innovation from data that no individual enterprise is capable of achieving alone. A prerequisite of data sharing in ecosystems is trust, i.e. trust among the participants on the one hand side and trust in the data and in data sovereignty on the other hand. The talk introduces examples of industrial data ecosystems, elaborates on the important role of data spaces, and gives an outlook to upcoming developments in research and industry.
(3) 13:25 – 13:45 The Current State and Prospects of Data Infrastructure and Data Utilization in Japan
Prof. Dr. Noboru Koshizuka ( Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies, the University of Tokyo / Data Society Alliance, CEO)
The data infrastructure in our country is still evolving and there are still challenges in data utilisation.To solve these challenges, we need to establish a community in the data field, to provid the systems and tools necessary for data federation and utilization, data integration and data-related human resource development are necessary.
