1. IoT Infrastructure Services for the Manufacturing Industry
Hitachi’s Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure services for the manufacturing industry are solutions that contribute to creating new value for customers by enabling the rapid analyses, evaluations, and trials that lead to improvements on the manufacturing site.
Traditionally, there has been a problem where it is difficult to use the same data scattered across different departments, each of which builds separate problem-solving systems, leading to increased total costs. In response, these services offer a factory IoT utilization framework with open connectivity, data utilization, application distribution, security, operations management, and the function set necessary to implement these capabilities.
These services enable the sharing and utilization of data across departments or throughout the entire company and achieve overall optimization through the sharing of applications and know-how. Also, for customers who want to verify effectiveness while proceeding by expanding target facilities, systems, or factories, Hitachi provides an IoT infrastructure that can expand the necessary functions in a scalable manner. Furthermore, startup tools that quickly enable the visualization of data are also available for customers who want to start out by collecting and visualizing the data of an assembly site. Hitachi offers services to customers who want to move forward gradually while collecting, storing, and utilizing data.
