IT / IoT Solution Forum 2019 [PR] | Nikkan Kogyo Newspaper Electronic Version

　The Industrial Value Chain Initiative (IVI) was established five years ago and is currently working with about 739 members.The members are wide, from dozens of employees to large companies such as Toyota.IVI is aiming to create a "connected" manufacturing beyond companies and countries.Connecting is the biggest competitiveness.To that end, the case study is shared beyond the barriers of the company.

　Members have created a working group for each assignment, examining and demonstrating and demonstrating, and introducing the results in the seminar.As a result, there are examples of data that had been converted to the part that was performed based on sound and sparks, such as the skill of the craftsman, which was difficult to traditionly handed down, and succeeded in sharing.In some cases, the latest technologies such as AI, holorens, and robots are used.The point in this activity is to convert technology and phenomena into data.

　The features of IVI are "connected factory" and "gentle standard".The manufacturing site is connected by digital data to eliminate waste and realize a smart value chain.The concept of digitalization of IVI is different from the method of digitizing all of the Western type, so that the necessary parts to connect are digitized and "show", and the parts that require skilled skills are "not shown" structure.Recommended.It is necessary to share it in order to connect, but it advocates that the connection specifications gradually change while maintaining their strengths.The manual for that must be easier to understand for employees working on the site, and try to convey them on a scenario chart like a drama.

　Mega trends in the manufacturing industry are digitization, services (not only to make things, but also to services (such as maintenance and after -sales service)).By performing both "manufacturing" and "creating things", the manufacturing industry is leveled up.

　The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has reported that the manufacturing system investment will have a large economic loss if it is not started by 2025 (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry DX report).It is said that 80 % of the total system costs are currently investing in core systems such as ERP, but more precedent investment in new areas such as IoT will be needed in the future.Comparing the top 10 market capitalization in the world and the top 10 market capitalization in Japan, the market capitalization has grown in the past 10 years..Japan 1 for 6.It is 1.The growth is small, and the Japanese industry will decline.It is necessary for individual companies to survive, but also to activate the entire industry.It is important to complement the strengths by connecting between companies and factories to enhance the competitiveness of things and things (services).It's not just about making things.Instead of worrying about one company, it has become an era where multiple companies, such as IVI, cooperate openly to complement their strengths and their strengths, and survive.
