Hitachi Digital Services Enhances OT/IT Integration Capabilities with Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) Platform

Hitachi Digital Services, a global system integrator and a US subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., today announced the enhancement of its capabilities to integrate Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) through its Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) platform. This advanced MOM platform technology will accelerate the transformation of manufacturing sites, particularly in assembly and processing, into resilient and sustainable smart factories. Furthermore, the MOM platform is positioned to expand the solution portfolio of Hitachi's industrial solution, "HMAX Industry," serving as a robust foundation for driving modernization through industrial AI.

The MOM platform is built on an open, modular, and integrated architecture, enabling interoperability with diverse Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and OT systems. This allows for expanded application across various asset-intensive industries such as energy, precision equipment, manufacturing, and transportation. Specific value propositions include: ・Building a "seamless digital thread" for real-time, consistent tracking from design to manufacturing and quality control.

・Supporting data-driven decision-making by analyzing on-site data to optimize quality, cost, and delivery times.

・Creating scalable workflows to achieve agile production systems that can rapidly respond to market and customer needs.

The proven MOM platform, refined through over 100 mission-critical manufacturing sites, will now support numerous Hitachi Group factories through a "customer zero" approach. This initiative is expected to enhance productivity through human-machine collaboration and accelerate 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 leverages vast data from both physical and digital assets, supporting the "HMAX by Hitachi" initiative for next-generation solutions that innovate social infrastructure with AI.

Comment from Jun Abe, Executive Vice President, Digital Systems & Services Business Unit, and Chairman of Hitachi Digital Services, Hitachi, Ltd. "The greatest strength of the Hitachi Group lies in accelerating synergy with OT fields such as railways, energy, and industry to create value. Hitachi Digital Services has contributed to accelerating social innovation as an integrator implementing OT x IT, based on services utilizing cloud, data, and IoT. By adding MOM, which has a wealth of global achievements, to our capabilities, we expect to promote the digital transformation of OT sites within the Hitachi Group based on a 'customer zero' approach, and also contribute to strengthening HMAX Industry and accelerating deployment in the industrial sector based on its achievements and know-how."

Comment from Roger Lvin, CEO of Hitachi Digital Services "The challenges facing Industry 5.0, such as scalability, supply chain integration, and technology adoption, can only be solved through smarter automation and flexible production environments. We deeply understand this and are actively adding the proven MOM to our already strong technology portfolio. The resulting Physical AI solutions will significantly contribute to the advancement of manufacturing and equipment operations across industries, strengthening the foundation of production and operational processes leveraging digital technologies, and enhancing Hitachi's capabilities in supporting mission-critical manufacturing operations."
