The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), an organization dedicated to transforming business and society by accelerating the Industrial Internet of Things, and the Industrial Value Chain Initiative (IVI), a Japan-based forum that works on promotion of smart manufacturing for connected industries, announced they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU).
Under the agreement, the IIC and the IVI will work together to align efforts to maximize interoperability, portability, security, and privacy for the industrial Internet.
Joint activities between the IIC and the IVI will include:
- Sharing use cases
- Sharing IIoT architecture information
- Identifying and sharing IIoT best practices for manufacturing
- Collaborating on opportunities for future joint testbed projects
- Other activities to which both parties agree
The Liaison Working Group is the gateway for formal relationships with standards and open-source organizations, consortia, alliances, certification and testing bodies and government entities/agencies. The agreement with the IVI is one of a number of agreements made by the IIC’s Liaison Working Group.
The Cross Industry Committee (CIC) of IVI, chaired by Ms. Hatsuko Kouroku, is the contact point for formal relationships with other IIoT initiatives. As a next step, the CIC and the Liaison Working Group of the IIC have cooperatively targeted a joint workshop on June 8, 2017 at Tokyo Big Sight to share use case information.
