Hitachi Digital Services, a US subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (hereinafter "Hitachi") and a global systems integrator supporting mission-critical infrastructures, announced today that it has strengthened its capabilities to integrate OT (Operational Technology) and IT through its Manufacturing Operation Management (MOM) platform. The technology of this advanced MOM platform will enable the acceleration of efforts to transform manufacturing sites, primarily in assembly and processing, into resilient and sustainable smart factories. Furthermore, this MOM platform is slated to expand the solution portfolio of "HMAX Industry," Hitachi's industrial solution, positioning it as a robust foundation for driving modernization through industrial AI.
This MOM platform is built on an open, modular, and integrated architecture, enabling interoperability with various Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and OT systems. This allows for expanded application across diverse asset-intensive industries such as energy, precision instruments, manufacturing, and transportation. The specific value propositions are as follows:
* Building an "unbroken digital thread" that allows consistent, real-time tracking from design to manufacturing and quality control.
* Supporting data-driven decision-making by analyzing frontline data to optimize quality, costs, and delivery times.
* Constructing scalable workflows capable of realizing an agile production system that responds instantly to fluctuations in markets and customer needs.
Proven across more than 100 mission-critical manufacturing sites, the MOM platform will continue to support numerous Hitachi Group factories through a "Customer Zero" approach. Through this initiative, it is expected to accelerate productivity improvements via human-machine collaboration and the transition to sustainable operations.
Moreover, the value creation generated through these efforts will evolve the MOM platform within HMAX Industry into a more powerful product. The MOM platform underpins the initiatives of "HMAX by Hitachi," a suite of next-generation solutions that leverages massive amounts of data obtained from both physical and digital assets to innovate social infrastructure using AI.
Comment from Jun Abe, Executive Vice President and Executive Officer, General Manager of Digital Systems & Service Division, Hitachi, Ltd., and Chairman of the Board, Hitachi Digital Services:
"The greatest strength of the Hitachi Group is creating value by accelerating synergies with OT sectors such as railways, energy, and industry. Hitachi Digital Services has contributed to accelerating social innovation as an integrator implementing OT x IT, based on services fully utilizing cloud, data, and IoT. By adding the globally proven MOM to our capabilities this time, we expect to promote the digital transformation of the Hitachi Group's OT frontlines based on the Customer Zero approach, while also contributing to strengthening HMAX Industry and accelerating its deployment in industrial sectors based on that track record and know-how."
Comment from Roger Lvin, CEO of Hitachi Digital Services:
"The challenges Industry 5.0 faces—scalability, supply chain integration, and technology adoption—can only be solved by smarter automation and flexible production environments. Deeply understanding this point, we are actively adding the proven MOM to our already strong technology portfolio. The resulting physical AI solutions will greatly contribute to the sophistication of manufacturing and facility operations across industries, strengthen the foundation of production and operational processes utilizing digital technology, and enhance Hitachi's ability to support mission-critical manufacturing operations."
