The Flexible Factory Partner Alliance (FFPA), chaired by Prof. Andreas Dengel and Prof. Hans Dieter Schotten, was awarded by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) at this year's „info-communications promotion month“.
The FFPA received the award for its success in promoting the development of new standards and standardization efforts to stabilize various wireless systems in production facilities. The award also recognized the expansion of international partnerships, such as the strengthening of the relations between the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and DFKI.
The prize is presented by the Japanese Minister of the Interior and Communications to individuals and organisations that make a special contribution to progress in the information and communications sector and have great potential for creative future activities in the digital sector.
