Key research themes

In India, digital payment is fast penetrating. Hitachi provides merchant-centric analytics solution based on huge and dynamic transaction data for early risk prediction for sustainable revenue growth.
 

Digital payment research activity focuses on developing data analytics solutions targeting the operational improvement of different payment channels including ATM, Point-of-Sale (PoS) and other emerging channels. For instance, we research on solutions to enhance the efficiency of merchant management services by analyzing merchant’s behavior, while identifying suspicious payment transactions. From digital transaction data with dynamic pattern, we aim to provide memory-based and noise-sensitive predictions to enable real-time merchant profiling.


We also develop techniques to forecast demand for cash replenishment of ATMs so that cash-in-transit (CIT) service providers can prepare optimized routes and schedule for an effective cash replenishment operation with the objective of reducing instances of out-of-cash situation or idle-cash situation at ATM sites.

Digital payment Payment Service Data Analysis

Range anxiety and forced downtime due to system failure are two critical issues that desist widespread adoption of electric vehicles by fleet management and logistic companies. Our research aims to solve such issues by using,

1. x Electric Vehicle (xEV) multi-physics Simulation Platform

We have an in-house simulation platform for complete xEV simulation, to study EV system performance. The dynamic simulator consists of multi-domain physics-based engine model, electric power train, thermal management systems, electronic actuators, engine control unit, vehicle control unit, etc. This platform enables the analysis and optimization of xEV range and fuel consumption.

2. State-of-Health (SOH) estimation of Lithium-ion battery with limited cell data

To extend the life of Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, the degradation of its performance over time needs to be estimated. Hence, we have developed an estimation method for Lithium-ion battery packs that finds the distribution of State of Health (SOH) by actively sensing the voltage transient response at certain time points in its operation cycle. Our approach works even if the battery management system (BMS) shares the voltage data of only limited cells[1]. This method judges the distribution of SOH among the cells of the battery pack, thereby helping the user to predict the end of battery life.

Urban bus transport in developing countries accounts for the major share of daily commuter demand. However, many of these systems are not optimized and suffer from delays, cancellations, over-crowding leading to losses. Bus transport operators need new ITS solutions for schedule optimization and fleet management to improve efficiency and profitability.
 

At Hitachi, we conduct research to optimize public transportation operations to realize secure and comfortable urban mobility. We have developed a simulation-driven tool to optimize parameters for transport schedule operations that can be utilized by large fleet operators or transportation service providers.


With the effective analysis of operational, planning and real-time location data from various sources, the simulator can improve the measurable performance indicators for the service providers e.g., passenger load factor, departure headways, vehicle utilization, earnings, etc.

As India progresses towards rapid digitalization through the launch of various initiatives under Digital India banner, such as Smart/Safe City, e-Governance initiatives across the states and various Make in India programs, we at Hitachi are preparing to launch various services driving social, environmental and economic values.
 

Hitachi India businesses are investigating opportunities to expand digital solution business, leveraging the rich ecosystem of partners, startups and academic institutions. In that regard, we are developing technologies in platform to ensure re-usability and interoperability of platforms and analytics components running on it.
 

To enable such services, we defined the total architecture of technology platform, where for data analyzing environment, we designed and developed an analytics platform that improves re-usability and data understanding for rapid service development. In the service layer, we designed and developed prototypes of potential services for demand forecast and situational awareness that are applied to customers through various co-creation activities.

Technology Innovation

The idea to focus on technology innovation is to continuously improve Hitachi’s core competency in key technology areas like data sciences and AI, autonomous drive control, power systems, and so on. As leaders in these areas, we aim to enhance our presence and outreach in India and global markets. Hitachi’s core technologies are a backbone to our social innovation business. We utilize our know-how in operational technology and data-driven insights to improve the efficiencies and hence profitability of our customers.

Key research themes

In this digital era, technology has penetrated our day-to-day activities. From simple house-keeping needs to advanced globally connected services, we all rely on cyberspace to keep us going. Though cyberspace has opened a world of opportunities, the harsh reality is that it is not always secured and there is always a risk of exploitation by hackers who want to destroy or disrupt essential services for personal or financial gain. To ensure that digitization remains beneficial, we are working to secure IT infrastructure and create an optimized response plan for continued safe use.
 

Securing IT infrastructure involves not only detecting security loopholes or vulnerabilities but also anticipating the point of attack and traversal. We have deployed Bayesian techniques, via threat detection, to perform analysis of attacks and our research is being applied to several business use cases. We are also working in automated response planning through a security response engine, in order to help security operators to minimize the loss in case of a security breach.

Cyber security Solution for Managing Security Risks in an IT Environment

All over the world, governments and end customers have increased focus on environmental sustainability. In India too, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency established by the Government of India, launched “Energy Conservation Building Code 2017*1” aimed at reducing building energy consumption and promote low-carbon growth for large commercial buildings. These social trends have led to an increase in green and net-zero energy buildings paving way for the adoption of Energy Management Systems in the commercial building sector. One of the important challenges with environment-friendly energy management is to meet customer requirements ensuring comfort to all occupants while optimizing energy consumption.
 

At Hitachi, we are developing IoT-based Energy Management Solutions that consist of data-driven analytics models, cloud database and edge sensors for optimized control of electric equipment such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system and lighting in internal rooms. This will help realize both energy savings and comfortable environment in commercial buildings.

Enterprise applications that are developed now have swiftly transitioned from a market-out to a more accommodating and customer needs-oriented market-in policy, where the value provided and not goods delivered are metrics of success. To keep the customer at the front, while engaging and developing applications for their needs, Hitachi has defined NEXPERIENCE, a well-designed set of processes and tools to conduct customer co-creation activities. In our team, we support throughout the phases of opportunity creation, service design, technology implementation and value evaluation when working with our customers. Our capable team provides software engineering of tools and process required to conduct the co-creation activities and additionally they bring value to the table through enterprise project management and control.

 

Co creation enterprise application Co-Creation Process for Services/Business Application

With open source Operating Systems (OS) like Linux becoming mainstream, and with the advent of Open Source Software (OSS) in safety critical domain, it becomes necessary to comply with the developed OSS safety critical system with international safety standards. Therefore, our functional safety team collaborates with the open source community to establish a process to certify OSS/Linux with IEC61508 standards.
 

We are contributing towards the development of a compliance route using IEC61508 specification and developing tools that help in evidence generation to prove compliance of Linux OS. The certification for base components of Linux would help businesses in automotive, railway and industrial domains to leverage the benefits of OSS, reduce development cost, and improve time-to-market for products and services.
 

As shown in the image below, the proprietary software products comprise of proper development procedure with sufficient documents. However, in OSS based products, the documentation and development procedure are not available. With the devised process, we are trying to generate evidence by analysis and test tools that fulfill the requirements of documentation and development procedure for safety certification.

Functional safety Difference of Certification Process for Proprietary and OSS Based Products

With the advancement of vision technologies, most industries are moving towards automatic safety monitoring systems for its enforcement. However, most of them are plagued by problems such as false detections and missed detections which are extremely costly resulting in wrong safety monitoring alerts and safety hazards. Also, unlike existing areas of object detection where there is the availability of large datasets, existing research works in detecting industrial safety gears have a problem of having large datasets to train. Our research helps address these challenges and at the same time aims to develop a unified industrial safety system that improves the identification of safety gears under complex conditions of illumination, posture and occlusions.
