日本政府将邀请世界各国自动化和其它制造技术方面的专家参加一项耗资10亿美元的旨在设计未来工厂的研究项目。以引导日本经济获得奇迹而受到广泛赞誉的政府部门通产省将于六月在东京国际会议上提出一项名为“智能制造系统”的计划草案。该方案将于1991年正式开始买施,为期10年。除了其巨额的预算外,还有两个原因使该方案引人注目:第一,通产省希望外国合作者在开始阶段以大体平等的条件加入。第二,以往日本绝大多数的国际合资项目是为了获得别国的技术窍诀,而这次却不一样,日本将把它自己领先世界的专门技术转让给不发达国家。通产省估计,如果能成功说服日本各企业实行技术诀窍共享的话,那么日本将对该项目投入80%的技术。
The Japanese government will invite experts from around the world in automation and other manufacturing technologies to participate in a $ 1 billion research project aimed at designing future factories. MITI, a government department widely acclaimed for guiding the miracle of Japan's economy, will present a draft plan entitled “Intelligent Manufacturing Systems” at the Tokyo International Conference in June. The program will officially begin its operation in 1991 for a period of 10 years. In addition to its huge budget, the program draws attention for two reasons. First, MITI hopes foreign collaborators will join in the initial stages on generally equal terms. Second, while most of Japan's previous international joint ventures were designed to gain the technological know-how of other countries, this time it is not the same. Japan will transfer its own world-leading expertise to underdeveloped countries. MITI estimates Japan will invest 80% of the technology in this project if it can successfully persuade Japanese companies to share their know-how.
