Hitachi Solutions, Ltd.

Smart Manufacturing

Manufacturing companies are expected to identify changes that occur in the field and respond quickly and flexibly.

By connecting OT data and IT data on a platform and processing them into the most appropriate data for the tasks that use them, we offer solutions that promote digitalization by reviewing business operations from the viewpoints of both production sites and management.

Our Strengths

Smart Factories

This technology digitally captures the operational status of a manufacturing site, worker movement, parts inventory, logistics, and other information to realize a smarter workplace without human intervention.

Global Supply Chain Management

As unpredictable threats such as natural disasters, geopolitical risks, and currency fluctuations continue to multiply, we are building a digital twin of the globalized supply chain in cyberspace.

Servitization

As values shift from objects to concepts, a transition in business models is also underway, from the manufacture and sale of products to the provision of services. We help companies diversify their earnings and enhance their competitiveness.

Business Management

By collecting and analyzing production and sales data, we visualize the profit structure of each product and simulate management plans that take market factors into account. This will help develop a management structure that maximizes the company’s strengths and supports quick business decision-making.

Solution

Strengthening Resilience in the Supply Chain

We provide quantitative decision-making materials to evaluate the supply chain, speeding up the PDCA cycle during supply-demand planning and delivering increased value.

Issues concerning the security of the international community, such as terrorism and the development of weapons of mass destruction, are becoming increasingly serious. We help to address security challenges caused by trade conflicts by balancing the implementation of rigorous security trade controls with improved operational efficiency.

Evolution of Engineering Chain Management

We make it possible to manage CAD data and BOMs in an integrated manner and share product information on a company-wide, cross-sectional basis at locations around the world. Centered on PLM, this approach builds a cross-cutting engineering chain to link not only design departments, but also manufacturing departments, maintenance departments and overseas offices to technologies such as IoT and AR/VR. As a framework for cost planning work, we support a series of operations from profit planning at the product plan conceptualization stage to cost improvement activities in the field.
