JERUSALEM, Jan 15 (Reuters) - One of the owners of Honda
Motor Co 7267.T is partnering with an Israeli tech pioneer to
develop artificial intelligence applications that will enable
the future of Industry 4.0.
The collaboration will combine Hiroshi Otsuka, head of
Musashi Seimitsu Corp 7521.T that is partly owned by Honda,
and Ran Poliakine, founder of Poliakine Innovation, they said on
Tuesday.
Industry 4.0 is a term coined by German manufacturers for
the digitalisation and automation of assembly processes.
The partnership, among other things, will develop an
automated guided vehicle (AGV) for industrial use. The
innovation centre will develop solutions to provide a safer and
more efficient manufacturing environment that will enhance the
global value chain, they said.
