Hitachi Solutions, Ltd.

Smart City & Location Intelligence

Through integrated analysis and visualization of urban and spatial information, we provide new, unprecedented experiences for a smart society that takes the global environment into consideration and realizes safe, secure, and comfortable lifestyles.

Our Strengths

Construction Tech

By applying the ICT technologies that we have cultivated over the years, such as high-precision position measurement, image recognition, and AI, we support the improvement of safety and productivity in the field from four perspectives: project management, drawing management, inspection and monitoring, and health and safety.
Our construction technology solves a variety of problems faced in the field, such as the aging of skilled workers, labor shortages, and the resulting long working hours and occupational accidents.

Smart Buildings

In order to improve convenience and comfort for building owners, managers, and users, as well as to add value to buildings, there is a growing need for smart buildings that incorporate technologies like IoT to support the digitalization of building facilities.
We provide consistent support from the construction phase to the operation phase, enabling quick and flexible responses to various requests from users in the building environment.

Urban Infrastructure DX

Using maps, BIM for buildings and facilities, point cloud data, and other resources, we build digital twins that reproduce cities, social infrastructure, and facilities in buildings in virtual space.
These technologies can be used to inspect facilities and other equipment to improve operational efficiency, ensure worker safety, and reduce the risk of delays, thereby realizing DX for urban infrastructure.

Solution

Contributing to Problem Solving by Visualizing Business Information on Maps

This integrated GIS system uses map information to consolidate and manage a wide range of data on facilities, sales, farmland, and more.
It uses location information to solve the problems faced by social infrastructure providers who own large numbers of facilities located over wide areas, such as power and telecommunications operators (e.g., improving the efficiency of facility management, sales activities, land management, etc.).

Use Case
  • Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc.: Electric utility

Support for Business Continuity Planning using Weather and Disaster Information

With the recent increase in weather-related disasters, business continuity planning (BCP) now requires efficient decision-making and risk mitigation.

By combining weather, disaster, and geographic information, we can visualize conditions during a disaster and its impact on a company’s assets and supply chain, contributing to a quick initial response.

Use Case
  • NTT Docomo, Inc.: Information and communications
  • Suzuki Motor Corporation: Manufacturing

Easy Rebar Inspection by Anyone with the Use of Tablets

Measuring the quality of rebar work during construction is a labor-intensive process that requires preparation, measurement, on-site inspections, and the production of forms.
This system automatically measures rebar spacing and generates reports simply by taking pictures with a tablet equipped with a depth camera, reducing work time to about 1/3 that of conventional methods.

Use Case
  • Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd.: Construction

Improving Convenience for Building Users

Managing the location of people and objects within buildings is important factor in improving efficiency in today’s manufacturing and logistics industries.
We select the most suitable IoT devices for the customer’s goals and applications, and propose cloud services to efficiently monitor and manage the relevant entities.
