In recent years, manufacturing sites in the manufacturing industry have been changing dramatically, and one of the reasons for this is the rapid change in market needs in various industries. Because it is necessary to respond quickly to this, agility is also required in the manufacturing field.

Edge computing is attracting attention as an indispensable technology for IoT in the future. How will IoT evolve, what changes will come, and what will be possible by the link between IoT and edge computing? Here are some examples of what it means.

“Equipment maintenance” is a very important activity to maintain the productivity and efficiency of the production system. This section outlines equipment maintenance activities and, in particular, the importance of predictive maintenance, and finally introduces its relationship with edge computing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of the development of the manufacturing industry lies in quality improvement activities. In this paper, we described classic TQM activities as specific examples of quality definition and quality improvement activities and explained the future relationship between quality improvement activities and IT equipment.

The connection between big data and AI has greatly expanded the possibilities and is expected to play an active role in various fields. How will big data and AI create new value? Introducing the fields of utilization of AI and big data, and the relationship with edge computing.

It has been a long time since the need for the spread of digital transformation (DX) to the manufacturing industry was called out. The benefits of DX are great, but there is a problem that they are not widely used. Here, we described specific examples and benefits from the definition of DX, and finally, we considered the cause of DX’s difficulty.

The term “cliff” in 2025 attracts attention and announces the growing sense of crisis in Japanese industry. What obstacles and what causes the cliffs in 2025? Learn about the losses that are feared by the cliffs in 2025 and the efforts and measures to resolve them.

Local 5G is a network that is expected to be used in the industrial field. What is the difference between a typical 5G or an existing network and a local 5G? In this article, we will introduce the characteristics of local 5G, the areas in which it is expected to be utilized, and the benefits that can be brought about.

With the spread of IoT and the evolution of devices, “data that can be collected” is rapidly expanding and becoming huge. At the same time, big data has attracted attention. We will introduce what big data is and what problems there are in operation.

The use of big data analysis is progressing little by little. Here, we explained the purpose and use cases of big data analysis, described examples of use in the industrial field and IoT field in particular, and finally briefly touched on the advantages of big data analysis and edge computing in the industrial field.
