The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) has officially inaugurated a new IDSA Hub in Japan, marking a significant milestone in the realm of data spaces outside Europe.

The University of Tokyo and the Data Society Alliance jointly facilitate the Japanese IDSA Hub, with the official signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) taking place at the Data Spaces Discovery Day in Tokyo.

The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) stands as a founding member within the newly formed Eclipse Dataspace Working Group (EDWG), which operates under the Eclipse Foundation. This partnership marks a significant step in building a robust open-source ecosystem to establish global standards and software components for sovereign data sharing through data spaces.

We successfully integrated p-Chip's microtransponder technology as a crypto-anchor into a cyber-physical trust framework solution developed by Merck.

In collaboration, Merck and p-Chip Corporation are advancing a digital platform combining software and hardware components that allows customers to create digital twins of single physical products and prove their authenticity throughout the product life cycle

HEEDS AI Simulation Predictor empowers organizations to take full advantage of the digital twin to optimize products through advanced state-of-the-art AI with built-in accuracy awareness
Innovative, high-performing, designs can be produced faster by using knowledge and learnings from historical simulation studies

Messe Düsseldorf is expanding its global event format in foundry technology to Latin America, setting another important milestone for the globalisation of the “Bright World of Metals”. From 16 to 18 October 2024 GIFA Mexico held at the Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City will bring together industry experts from all over the world and present a wide spectrum of machinery, equipment, materials, and technical innovations for various user industries such as the automotive and construction industries, mechanical engineering and the iron and NF-metal industries.

Mitsubishi Electric’s Nagoya Works, one of the company’s main factories developing and manufacturing industrial automation products and systems, introduced a smart visualisation solution to monitor utility data throughout the entire factory. The GENESIS64™ visualisation software, a solution for displaying data in process, infrastructure and manufacturing industries, was leveraged to systematically monitor real-time data remotely from equipment, such as operations and loads, helping to address issues raised by the “new norm”.

The transformation of the metals industry towards climate neutrality was the main theme of the Bright World of Metals, which took place with great success in Düsseldorf from 12 to 16 June 2023, and was also much discussed at the GIFA and NEWCAST stands. The exhibiting companies and expert conferences focused on technologies and solutions for decarbonisation, sustainability, energy and resource efficiency in the sense of circular economy across all stages of the added value chain, following a cradle-to-cradle approach.
