Information event for Japanese automotive industry representatives

Thanks to all participants and NTT Data for this great event! For more information concerning Systems Engineering Day please scroll below

Functional safety, traceability, and verification management are topics that move the industry – especially when it comes to the realization of highly automated and autonomous products. Methodically and technologically the focus is increasingly put on model-based systems engineering, particularly by the automotive industry.

In this context, prostep ivip continues to pursue its standardization activities, particularly with projects such as SmartSE, the SysML workflow forum and ReqIF. Of course, there are other players around the world who are active in this field. For this reason the association decided to hold for the first time a conference on this subject in Japan, also underlining its strategic goal of expanding a foothold in Japan.

Thus, the first prostep ivip Systems Engineering Day took place on 17/10/2919 in Tokyo and every seat was taken: interested experts from e.g. Aisin, AVL List, Bosch, DENSO, FUSO, Hino, Honda, Jatco, Mazda, MEIDENSHA, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nissan, Panasonic, Suzuki, Toshiba, Toyota, Volkswagen and Yamaha ensured a sold-out event long before the actual conference date. Representatives from the Japanese Ministry of Economics METI and from ISO were also among the participants. The European and Japanese speakers presented innovation and standardization projects currently debated in the community. It was a very successful day which not only promoted content-related exchange but also contributed greatly to networking.

At this point we would also like to express our special thanks to one of our members: without the dedicated support of NTT Data on both the German and Japanese side the first prostep ivip SE Day in Japan would not have been such as success story – ranging from providing the premises to the personal support on site.
