With the advent of the IoT, manufacturing will soon reach an era in which essential value can be efficiently promoted through data and information. Its structure is very different from the conventional one. Speeches and discussions will be given by leaders in the research fields of Japan, Germany and the United States on how to grasp and deal with this paradigm shift. In addition, overseas practices related to industrial IoT and the cooperation between Japan and Germany regarding effective system approaches for solving problems will be also introduced.
