日本工业自动化与DEVOPS发展趋势

2Finally, the edge has become a critical area of focus, with DevOps and DevSecOps methodologies changing howedge systems integrate with real-time operations. The explosion of data, the demand for real-time processing atthe edge, and network bandwidth limitations are driving significant financial investments. For instance, the globalmarket for edge data centers is expected to grow from $13 billion in 2023 to $39.8 billion by 2030, according to aNovember 2024Global Industry Analysts report.How has software development changed?Software development has a new focus on flexibility, agility, scalability, and automation.Agile and DevOps:Agile methodologies and DevOps once were initiatives without corporate buy-in. Today, they areexpected. These methodologies proved themselves with rapid, iterative software releases in embedded systems aswell as other application domains. Teams work closely to integrate automation tools that speed up developmentcycles and enhance feedback loops. Everyone agrees on the principles of these long-popular methodologies, but OEMproduct development teams often encounter difficulties in implementation.Cloud-native technologies:Cloud-native techniques promise loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable,and observable, emphasizing open source and vendor neutrality. The adoption of cloud-native tenets in the embeddeddevelopment community has resulted in scalable, flexible systems that expand and adapt to business needs.AI and automation:Automation has increased the efficiency of software development processes such as testing,deployment, and monitoring, particularly as tools and processes adopt AI and machine learning.User-centric design:Developers are paying more attention to user experience. Software in both general and embeddedmarkets is designed with better interfaces, ease of use, and frequent updates.Security and DevSecOps:As security demands grow, DevOps is becoming DevSecOps, where security is integratedinto every software development lifecycle stage.The result:Companies can (and do) respond faster to market demands, with innovative applications that solve userneeds as well as the flexibility to rapidly and easily change production to meet new orders and customer trends.Japan’s industrial automation segment is leading the charge in adopting these advancements by strategicallymoving away from waterfall methods to DevSecOps.Incorporating DevSecOps ensures security from the start of the development process. For example, Omron, aJapanese industrial automation company, streamlined its global software development by sharing a commoninfrastructure across multiple teams.Which industrial automation market segments are changing fastest?The industrial automation segment has improved its processes, particularly in Japan. Japan’s global presence inthis sector is influenced by the adoption of technologies such as industrial IoT, edge computing, robotics, and AI andmachine learning (ML), which make real-time data collection, analysis, and rapid decision-making possible formanufacturing systems. Edge computing processes data closer to where it is generated before sending data to thecloud. That means critical decisions are made faster.The most obvious trend is AI and ML. Japan is adopting AI-based machinery and plant network optimization at 63%.That’s significantly higher than the global rate of 40% adoption asreported by Markets & Markets. AI and ML arehaving an impact everywhere, of course, but their use in edge computing means industrial systems can make auton-omous, accurate, real-time decisions without human intervention. That moves us all closer to the machine economy,where machines communicate and make decisions independently.Japan is thesecond largest global market for industrial robotics, second only to China. Its robotics usage is dueto Japan’s manufacturing infrastructure and leadership in automation technologies. One reason for the growth inautomation and robotics is Japan’s aging population and declining birthrate, leading to a shortage of Japaneseworkers. However, a bottleneck for the introduction of industrial robots into new customers is the time required for Wind River is a global leader of software for mission-critical intelligent systems. For 40 years, the company has been an innovator and pioneer, powering billions of devices and systems thatrequire the highest levels of security, safety, and reliability.
