Japan has long been a global leader in robotics, combining cultural influence with industrial strength as both a major user and producer of robotic technologies. Building on this foundation, the RoX initiative introduces a new paradigm in robotics by integrating physical AI with secure, interoperable data ecosystems. Presented through webinars with leading Japanese institutions—Kyoto University’s KUPAC and the Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT Initiative (RRI)—RoX highlights how next-generation robotics depends not only on hardware but on access to high-quality operational data governed through trusted dataspaces. By enabling collaboration across organizations while protecting intellectual property, RoX supports modular development, lifecycle integration, and improved industrial performance. Early demonstrations show tangible benefits in efficiency, adaptability, and quality, positioning RoX as a key step toward scalable, AI-driven robotics within global data-sharing ecosystems.

The world’s leading industrial trade fair opens once again its doors in Hanover from April 20 to 24. Under the theme “Industrial Transformation,” companies will showcase the latest developments in AI, automation, energy, and digitalization. This year, we will be represented at Hannover Messe by Tim Höttges, Ferri, Elke Anderl, and many other colleagues at partner booths.

T-Systems’ Connect & Integrate solution is now officially Catena-X-certified for the Traceability use case under the latest Saturn release. This certification expands T-Systems’ growing portfolio of Catena-X capabilities and reinforces its role in enabling secure, interoperable data exchange across automotive supply chains. By supporting traceability, quality processes, and collaboration through standardized dataspaces, T-Systems helps companies gain transparency across complex value chains, improve compliance, and respond faster to supply chain disruptions while maintaining full data sovereignty within the Catena-X ecosystem.
