Honda's aims for 'collision-free society' are realised with new tech

Honda's global network covers more than 10,000 suppliers and 54 countries. The manufacturer began reorganising its internal system for development, procurement and production in specific markets back in 2011, aiming to strengthen cross-group collaboration to quickly launch price-competitive products that meet local demands.

Honda experienced difficulties with differing systems and security levels among its many markets, resulting in slow data transfers along with added time and cost to introduce new systems, according to ICT provider NTT.
