RRI and Plattform Industrie 4.0, the driving force behind Germany’s Industrie 4.0 initiative, have updated the joint statement they signed in 2016 and announced a new strategic collaboration on October 21st. Going forward, the two organizations will further deepen their cooperation in the fields of Industrial IoT and Industrie 4.0.
It has been 10 years since the two organizations issued the joint statement based on the 2016 Japan-Germany government joint statement. During that time, the manufacturing environment has changed dramatically. At the same time, technologies such as AI have also undergone significant advancements. In this context, there have been many discussions between Japan and Germany about visions and perspectives on manufacturing.
The two organizations summarized these changes and discussed a new strategic collaboration based on the trust they have built over the past decade.
