A large-scale exhibition “CeBIT” will close in Hannover. CeBIT is the world’s largest computer expo, based on the cutting-edge technology in area of IT that began in 1970. This time, 118 companies / organizations that Japan established as a cooperating country of Germany participated and made a foothold for advancement to Europe andt he world.”It is a precedent example when venture companies advancing software for industries overseas,” said Masahiro Nakamura, president of LEXER RESEARCH. LEXER RESEARCH’s production simulation software was adopted in the development project of the Fraunhofer Institute for the realization of ‘Industry 4.0’ in which Germany promotes production Innovation throughout the country.The Institute’s Production Technology and Automation Laboratory (IPA) is developing a cloud service “Virtual FortKnox” for small and medium-sized manufacturing industries. IPA values about LEXER’s software, “This system that can predict the most efficient means of production from information on production procedure, factory facility,production plan etc, is easy to use even for small and medium companies”.In the “IoT” era when everything is connected to the net, Mr. Nakamura of LEXER said “We have to adopt more andmore in all over the world platforms. If you are passive thinking that you have the best skills, you cannot be found. It isnecessary to proactively provide functions and forms that fit the requirements of the architect”. On March 19, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan issue a “Hannover Declaration” with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. This is a frame work of cooperation that the Japanese and German governments support the IoT collaboration between the two countries’s mall and medium companies. This time the adoption of software in Japan is an example that is expected as a pioneer.————————————————————————————————————―
