CPS: A Key Technology for Realizing Autonomous Smart Factories

A cyber-physical system (CPS), which is the core information system of future factories aiming to be smart factories, is built by concentrating together IoT, AI, big data analysis, industrial networks, and other advanced information technologies. It is an information system occupying the core in the implementation of digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry that draws a clear distinction with mere process automation by conventional factory automation (FA).

From the Automation of Processes to Digital Transformation in the Manufacturing Industry

We give an explanation here about digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry – business reform that utilizes digital technology in the manufacturing industry. The approach to business reform is gradually becoming more sophisticated with visualization, optimization, automation, and autonomy in DX in the manufacturing industry. The scope of the application of that is also expanding to systems, factories, companies, and supply chains.

Supporting the Realization of a Super-Smart Society: Murata Continues to Respond to the Demands of the Times

The super-smart society that has been the aim of Society 5.0 is coming. A super-smart society that materializes mega trends such as digital transformation (DX) and decarbonization will use greater quantities of more advanced electronic components than ever before to make full use of the latest communication and information processing technologies such as IoT, AI, and 5G. Norio Nakajima, President of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which has a responsibility to supply electronic components required by the times, talks about the company’s future role and the ways in which Murata will contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.

“New on-site capabilities” the construction industry is venturing to build through DX (Part 2 of 2)

Construction sites are areas where it would be difficult to replace people with digital entities, as much of the work is dependent on the experience and judgment of engineers and craftsmen. How should DX proceed in circumstances like this? We continue our interview with JACIC’s Takashi Ozawa from where we left off in the first part of the interview.
