Overview
Apr,2019

Background of establishment
The Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT Initiative (RRI) wasestablished as an organizational platform to promote the"Robot Revolution" stated in the national "New Robot Strategy"(2015/2/10, The Headquarters for Japan’s Economic
Revitalization).
In "New Robot Strategy", robot is widely defined as a systemthat executes tasks by utilizing digital and network technology,advanced sensors, and artificial intelligence.

Prime Minister Abe attended

Organization profile
Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT Initiative (RRI) is an organization that rebuilds the Japanesemanufacturing industry in order to respond to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Society 5.0 incooperation with the industry and government.
In the Third Industrial Revolution, Japan developed mechatronics, contributed to the world throughhigh quality manufacturing with variable volume mixed production system.
In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we are in a position to lead the world based on these achievements.

Cooperative relationship
To Survive by agile and open value creation with Industrial IoT.

Activities
With international collaboration, RRI is drawing up the future shape of the manufacturing business anddeveloping international standards on smart manufacturing and security.
In Japan, RRI is supporting the introduction of IoT and the revitalization of regional industry and SMEs
in response to globalization.
1. International standardization:
Operation of IEC Systems Committee Smart Manufacturing National Committee:
RRI has launched activities to coordinate Japanese positions to contributeto standardization in IEC and ISO.
2. International collaboration:
RRI collaborates with experts of Germany and initiatives of related countries,
and works together on future image, architecture, use case etc. and exchanges
information.
3. National collaboration:- RRI is the main promoter in the Manufacturing & Robotics domain of the Connected
Industries which is a new concept framework established by Japanese government.
- RRI coordinates with national committees of international standardization related tosmart manufacturing including industrial associations and promotes information
sharing on such issues as directions and tasks of standardization. RRI also coordinateswith other relevant national and private projects.
