Abstract:
Abstract—recently, we have heard a lot about Internet of Things (IoT), smart factories, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ‘INDUSTRIE 4.0’. My research subject is mainly focusing on world car industries, especially how to implements IoT technology into Japanese, German and U.S. car industries, and what is the difference between the concepts of IoT usability in those targeted countries. We conducted also comparative study of producer’s and user’s viewpoints for car industries. This paper is divided into following several sections. First, we address the question of what is ‘INDUSTRIE4.0’ (smart factory) in Germany. Second, we describe “Car Part Segmentation and Smart, Connected Products”, which are making the similar architecture to Computer segmentation. Then, we apply “Smiling Curve concept” to find the reason for, why bring up for a difference in there concept for IoT usability. Then, we apply producer’s idea such as smart factory in Germany and Japan, and user’s needs for example smart car in U.S.A. Finally, we’ll explain what kind of difference on confronts with using IoT technology from producer’s and user’s viewpoint.
