Use of AI in the Logistics Sector
Attempts are being made to increase the efficiency of work improvements through more widespread application of IT to work systems. However, as each new improvement is added or improvements are made with respect to environmental changes, it requires manual changes to the system, leading to increases in work improvement costs. Hitachi has developed an AI system that uses big data such as work performance information, to understand worksite improvements and environmental changes and issue appropriate work instructions. It has conducted a demonstration test, which confirmed the effectiveness of this system for improving distribution warehouse work. In the future, Hitachi will continue to work on expanding the AI system to a wide range of Social Innovation Business in areas such as manufacturing and distribution.
