Change is coming to industrial operations, but current transformation approaches often lack a technology backbone that systematically addresses value chain requirements. To be successful, an organization’s transformation must eliminate silos and disconnects in IT and operational technology (OT) systems, which leave them without a single source of truth. In addition to eliminating silos, organizations must also find a way to address manual processes and workflows, a lack of access to external demand and supply signals, and susceptibility to market and technology disruptions.
To overcome these challenges, Hitachi America Research and Development Division (R&D) has developed solutions for both operations’ optimization and supply chain optimization.
Hitachi America R&D operations optimization solution suite addresses operations use cases across several verticals. To develop this suite, we abstracted problems in operations across different domains and solved them by using a combination of machine learning and simulations. After the organization has gathered its observations – that is, its data, the solutions target three tasks.
The solution includes three components, each of which corresponds to one of the tasks.
Hitachi America R&D operations optimization solution suite has been implemented in a variety of verticals, including mining, discrete manufacturing and continuous manufacturing.
Hitachi America R&D’s supply chain optimization strategy helps organizations optimize their supply chains to generate more value. Our two-step approach ensures success by taking advantage of cutting-edge technology:
Our supply chain optimization strategy helps companies improve their customers’ experience and transform the businesses they work with into true partners. Integrating digitalization in supply chains in this manner prepares companies for the future.
