Net One Systems Co., Ltd. and NTT West Corporation have conducted a demonstration of next-generation automation using the IOWN All-Photonics Network, confirming the effectiveness of distributed data centers in model learning through imitation behavior, remote inference for autonomous collaborative robotics, and APN connection with multi-vendor devices, achieving important results toward social implementation.
Due to a decline in the working population in Japan, there is a serious shortage of workers in retail, manufacturing, medical care, and other fields, and expectations are rising for next-generation automation that utilizes AI collaborative robots and autonomous technology. Implementing such advanced autonomous systems requires real-time processing of large amounts of sensor data and high-definition video and audio, but in conventional network environments, latency and insufficient bandwidth mean that high-performance devices such as GPUs must be deployed at each location, posing challenges in terms of management burden, power consumption, and costs.

To address these challenges, this demonstration combined the low-latency, high-capacity, and highly stable IOWN APN with a distributed cluster-type AI platform to verify the possibility of real-time control toward the realization of next-generation automation.
