During an online meeting held on 8 April, the Instrumentation Technology and Economy Institute of China (ITEI) and DKE renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
ITEI and DKE first signed the MOU in 2014, with the aim to facilitate information exchanges, and to carry out cooperation, both at national- and IEC-level, on standardization topics of mutual interest, such as reliability of measuring and controlling devices, industry 4.0, IoT, industrial wireless communication, information security, and semantic standards.
The renewal of the MOU brings in new areas for cooperation, including intelligent manufacturing and standards’ digital transformation. In the MOU, both parties agreed that intelligent and digital transition are the key development directions, therefore cooperation in international standardization should be strengthened, especially addressing digitalized standards and machine-readable standards.
In addition to the renewal of the MOU, during the meeting representatives from ITEI introduced China’s recent progress in intelligent manufacturing standardization; after reviewing successful cooperation cases with Germany on industrial ethernet, predictive maintenance, system reliability, function safety, and information security, ITEI representatives outlined China’s work plan for international standardization in key fields such as 5G’s industrial application, industrial internet platform, digitalized standards, and machine-readable standards.
Representatives from DKE stressed the positive role of the cooperation between the two organizations, especially on the China-Germany Intelligent Manufacturing Security White Paper, IEC/SyCSM, asset administration shell and public data dictionary, and machine-readable standards; they also proposed to deepen cooperation on standardization research, test, and training, on the basis of the current achievements of the cooperation.
