Research and Development Overview
Based on the PLA-NETJ developed in FY2025, the system development in FY2026 will be carried out in accordance with the requirements defined for the PLA-NETJ Minimum Marketable Product (MMP), with the aim of realizing a hybrid architecture that integrates both centralized and decentralized approaches. Furthermore, demonstration experiments will be conducted to verify the traceability functions of the PLA-NETJ MMP for plastics as well as other materials.
Through these efforts, it will be demonstrated that PLA-NETJ is not limited to plastics but can serve as a general-purpose platform applicable to a wide range of materials.
