Class 395 is Hitachi's first rolling stock in regular service in Europe. These Hitachi trains provide the fastest domestic rail service in Britain, and are capable of operating at a maximum speed of 140mph. This case study showcases several key aspects of the Class 395 project and demonstrates some of the key reasons for its success.
Using Hitachi's short throw projectors to create an immersive experience of history and culture at the Sant Boi museum near Barcelona (Spain).
Until the mid-1980's, the only connection between Porto Alegre, Canoas, Esteio and Sapucaia do Sul was federal highway BR116. There was a clear need to offer to the general public in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre a safer, less expensive and ideal transportation alternative. It was decided that a railroad would be built to initially connect these cities. When operations began in 1985, Trensurb selected the solution of a consortium led by Hitachi, playing an important role by supplying 17 high quality, safe trains.
The metropolitan region population growth and the lack of infrastructure for water capitation and supply caused São Paulo to face the challenge of getting appropriate water resources needed to supply the city. The solution that combined technical quality and responsibility for an investment in a water supply system expansion and the rapid population growth was provided by Hitachi. Supplying water for nine million inhabitants in Great Sao Paulo, the Cantareira system used Hitachi pumps to attend to the necessity of pumping and elevating water for more than 120 meters uphill to the Aguas Claras reservoir.
Singapore Epson Industrial Pte Ltd (SEP) needed a solution to overcome the cumbersome maintenance as well as the environmental pollutions emitted from its air compressors. Using Hitachi Screw Compressor, Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems helped to keep the loud noise and vibrations to a minimum while ensuring simple maintenance for the compressor.
Faced with ever-more-stringent emission regulations at the state and federal level, Minnesota Power (MP) proactively initiated a $240 million project to reduce emissions from the 350 megawatt Boswell Energy Center Unit 3. Minnesota Power established an aggressive three-year schedule for execution of the complete emission reduction project and selected Hitachi Power Systems America for the project due to their expertise and unique technology offering.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has been the preferred thermoplastic insulating and jacketing material for most indoor wiring and cable applications for more than fifty years. However, there have been many questions about its safety. Hitachi Cable Manchester has assessed all sides of this PVC controversy and produces products for those who support PVC and those who support using alternative materials.
The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) needed to design a data storage system that could keep up with its rapid and exponential growth while providing flexibility for the future. Hitachi Data Systems helped to transition UHC’s entire data storage system to blade servers with no local storage and heavy reliance on server virtualization while ensuring minimal disruption to the day-to-day operations of the legacy system.
Through the successful development of the liquidity management system, the NACF is now able to monitor its variables on a daily basis rather than the monthly and quarterly assessments as in the past, it can rapidly respond to the short-term variables as well as mid and long-term variables. Also, since the capital flow information can be accessed and processed on a single channel, the NACF's analysis and planning have become much faster and more accurate than in the past.
With the successful system development such as Hitachi’s IT services to design and implement the NACF’s financial accounting integrated system, the NACF saw tangible results such as reduction of time spent on end-of-the-day tasks at branches by an average of 1 hour or more, reduction in support provided to branches by the IT Division at the headquarters, and support for rapid decision making through improved utilization of financial information.
