"Combining Cutting-Edge Digital Technologies
to Transform Society for the Better"
Now, we are entering a new phase: combining that engine with cutting-edge digital technologies to transform society for the better.
To create a future where people and AI coexist in harmony, we connect technologies refined in the physical world with the power of data and AI.
Because we bring IT, OT, and products together—and can take on everything from identifying challenges to real-world implementation—we can pursue our ambition to be the "best in the business" and compete on the global stage.
—This is Hitachi's Digital Systems & Services Sector (DSS).
A Company Chosen, Ultimately, for Its People
The curiosity to question what others take for granted in everyday life and expand the boundaries of your world, rather than waiting to be told what to do. The learning agility to step into the unknown without hesitation and keep moving forward as you learn.
And the determination to never walk away, no matter how difficult the challenge.
People with this mindset will multiply the power of digital technology and grow into true "digital talent."
This is work for people who take ownership of the questions—not those who wait for answers.
The wisdom and resolve honed on the front lines of businesses where digital technology alone is not enough.
Even in an age when AI can show us every possibility, it is ultimately people who run the railways, the power plants, and urban infrastructure running.
That is why we possess the wisdom and resolve honed on the front lines of businesses where digital technology alone is not enough.
When your judgment and imagination meet a century of accumulated expertise, answers that move society can finally take shape.
To See Further into the Future,
Look Equally Far into the Past.
These words express why we believe that, with a century of progress behind us, we are one of the few players qualified to take on the challenge of envisioning the next hundred years.
Wisdom cultivated in the field and trust built through dialogue with customers: these accumulated layers of experience are our solid foundation and the engine that drives us toward transformation.

DSS Keywords
Discover what makes DSS what it is.
The collective name for Hitachi's solutions, services, and technologies that leverage advanced digital technologies to create value from customer data and accelerate digital innovation.
The name combines "illuminate" and "data." Lumada was launched in 2016 to express our commitment to shining a light on customers' data, revealing new insights, solving management challenges, and contributing to business growth.
Lumada is at the heart of the Hitachi Group's digital business, using data and advanced technologies to help solve business and social challenges and drive growth. By integrating the IT, OT, and products cultivated by DSS with extensive domain knowledge in social infrastructure, Lumada serves as a digital solutions platform that creates new value from data and advances digital transformation for customers and society.
A suite of next-generation AI solutions that bridges the physical and digital worlds.
By combining vast amounts of data from physical and digital assets with advanced AI enhanced by Hitachi's deep domain knowledge, HMAX takes on the most complex challenges facing social infrastructure.
HMAX delivers maximum value to customers and society by optimizing operations, improving efficiency, and accelerating outcomes.
From solving complex social infrastructure challenges to driving innovation, HMAX leads the way toward a smarter, more sustainable society and opens up the future for customers and society.
Control and operational technologies used to optimally operate the equipment and systems required for social infrastructure and industrial plants, including electric power, railways, steel, and water.
For example, in social infrastructure such as electricity, gas, and water utilities, OT regulates pump pressure and the opening and closing of switches and valves to ensure the appropriate level of supply.
DSS is taking Hitachi's unique strength—the ability to bring IT, OT, and products together within a single company—to the next level by combining it with AI.
Critical
Highly critical systems and social infrastructure that must operate around the clock, 365 days a year, without even a second of downtime, because any interruption could affect society as a whole.
DSS develops mission-critical core systems that support social infrastructure across finance, healthcare, the public sector, manufacturing, distribution, and more. A strong sense of responsibility to "never let social infrastructure stop," backed by advanced technical capabilities, provides a solid foundation for every digital business at DSS.
Knowledge
Specialized practical knowledge, business processes, and long-standing expertise cultivated over many years in specific industries and across fields such as railways, energy, finance, manufacturing, and the public sector.
By combining AI with Hitachi's extensive domain knowledge from around the world, DSS creates advanced digital solutions tailored to real-world social challenges.
The Frontline is the domain closest to customers and social challenges, where value is created.
Across industries such as finance, the public sector, energy, railways, and manufacturing, our Frontline teams identify challenges through co-creation and consulting with customers. Drawing on industry-specific insights and domain knowledge, they drive digital transformation and business transformation. Understanding the Frontline is one of Hitachi's defining strengths, and these teams are at the heart of it. As business partners—and sometimes as more than that—they envision the future of society and bring that vision to life through advanced IT and digital technologies.
The Platform domain provides shared digital foundations—including AI, data, cloud, and security—that can be used across industries.
It develops and provides the cutting-edge shared digital technologies, development environments, AI and data platforms, and security capabilities essential for customers and Frontline organizations to drive digital transformation. By delivering technology globally across industries and regions, it accelerates value creation as One Hitachi.
Technology that uses sensors and cameras to perceive and interpret the physical world in fine detail, then operates robots, equipment, railways, and vehicles autonomously and safely, controlling them for optimal performance.
Hitachi has declared its ambition to become the world's leading practitioner of physical AI, integrating cutting-edge AI with 115 years of accumulated domain knowledge and expertise in OT and IT.
