Hitachi to develop a new Manufacturing Process Improvement Solution
H itachi and Hitachi High-Tech Corporation are developing a Manufacturing Process Improvement Solution to help find optimal manufacturing processes and are enhancing the informatics business to accelerate digital transformation in industrial fields . Hitachi and Hitachi High-Tech have contributed to highly efficient research and development ( R & D ) by providing customers with solutions related to materials informatics . With the provision of this solution , we will help optimise manufacturing processes as well as R & D .
Material development involves a phase where prototypes developed by researchers are scaled up for large-scale manufacturing . So far , process development engineers and others relied on their experience and knowledge in trial and error and find the best manufacturing process that maximised the properties of materials . In this solution , Hitachi Group ’ s expert consultants can propose highly efficient manufacturing processes and solutions using our proprietary database accumulates manufacturing process information from various fields , as well as Generative AI . We also offer a system that allows customers to use informatics to find out the optimal values for various parameters . This enables to explore new manufacturing processes , and thus achieve advanced process exploration , reduce wasteful costs , and improve productivity of frontline workers such as process development engineers . This solution will be provided by Hitachi High-Tech after conducting a proof of concept starting in April 2025 , with customers such as semiconductor , battery , and materials manufacturers who can test and introduce it .
Driving productivity through improved access to information
S kanska has leveraged its in-house skills and capabilities to develop a bespoke data visualisation platform designed to make accessing project information quick and simple .
The platform offers a comprehensive view of a project ’ s engineering design within a real-world context , presented in an easy-to-consume format for all users . Its user-friendly interface is complemented by dashboards that display real-time data , allowing users to analyse and access information in various formats tailored to specific tasks .
This innovation enhances collaboration and unlocks potential for greater efficiency and productivity during project delivery .
This platform gives the ability to integrate multiple data sets into an easy-to-use platform which brings information to life in a visual and accessible manner .
Project teams , supply chain partners , and customers can securely access live project information at any time from any mobile or desktop device , without the need for a licence . Complex engineering , design , cost , programme and risk data can be easily viewed and interrogated with just a few clicks , enabling informed , ‘ right first time ’ decision-making .
Susan Ryall , Skanska ’ s Engineering & Design Director , said : “ This platform gives the ability to integrate multiple data sets into an easy-to-use platform which brings information to life in a visual and accessible manner . It allows projects , customers and supply chain to have the right information at the right time enabling real time data driven decision making .”
