What further sets Hitachi Digital apart is the Hitachi Group’s long-standing operational technology (OT) and domain knowledge in industrial businesses. Backed by that knowledge, Hitachi Digital will accelerate the implementation of both enterprise AI and Physical AI in industries including manufacturing, mobility and energy, as well as across the Hitachi Group through its “customer zero” initiatives. Hitachi Digital’s synergy revenue with the Hitachi Group grew 46 percent year-on-year in the first half.

Central to the work at the Hitachi Group and beyond are the company’s FDEs, who work directly in clients’ operational environments to put these AI capabilities into practice. These teams of AI specialists, data scientists and engineers work alongside clients and technology partners to apply new AI and digital capabilities inside complex enterprise and operational environments. Hitachi Digital will continue to scale through investment in AI, data and cloud talent, including FDEs, along with expanded alliances and acquisitions across the technology ecosystem.

Through these efforts, we will strongly advance our clients’ digital transformation globally, drive the growth of Lumada 3.0 and contribute to the harmonized society envisioned in Hitachi’s management plan, ‘Inspire 2027.’”
