- Background:
- Last year in April, German and Japanese officials pledged to improve cooperation in the machine tools industry as part of the “Industry 4.0” initiative. Industry 4.0, initially promoted by the German government, aims to draw out the latent potential of industry through effective utilization of connectivity (IoT), the global value chain, and highly flexible production capabilities. This effort for the technological advancement of manufacturing centers has started a revolution, sparking demand for high-variety low-volume production systems to efficiently and cost effectively produce small sets of customized products.
