3. Activities of RRI / WG1
Finding Japanese way in Industry SWG- Gets common understanding of the strength and weaknessof Japanese manufacturing companies- Builds a analysis frame work for companies to plan
Industrial IoT utilizing strategy by considering their strengthand weakness- Defines the criteria between domains : competition andcooperation---> Japanese Traditional Culture : Strong-tied community• Kaizen & Lean-production system in a community• Conformism (fear to be free)– Industrie 4.0 is for horizontal dynamic manufacturing.
This change should be called as a revolution.

Dynamically installing necessary manufacturing know-how into the appropriate machines in
multiple companies securely, as Crowd Manufacturing for Sharing Economy[Purpose]
A time-shared type crowd-sourcing that a factory ofCompany A (“A”) buys right to utilize a machine and operators
in a factory of Company B (“B”) in a certain time interval.
[Mechanism]
1) A control network between A and B is created at thescheduled time for the creation of a virtual MES*,dynamically.
2) The machine is connected dynamically to A’s MES. A cancontrol (i) in what sequence A‘s jobs are executed, and (ii)how manufacturing should be executed (e.g., with NC-code).
3) A also gets shop-floor data in the given interval.

12Collaboration Case Japan-Germany #2 :Admin. Shell enables unified control of machines
Maximize the ability of production by sending and receiving unified messages for all
generations of machines including legacy ones in shop floor by implementing Administration
Shells as semantic translators[Purpose]
A unified production system including factories of SMEs that
also have legacy machines, to respond customers’ various
requirements in shop floor in high quality (Q), low cost (C) andshort time (T).
[Mechanism]
1) Administration Shell is implemented in each machine profiling
equipment information and mapping rules to the unifiedmessages.
2) ICT systems like MES send control messages to various
machines and receive operation status data from them via
corresponding Administration Shells[Technical Partner]
