Hitachi to install a new digital maturity assessment method to accelerate DX in global manufacturing operations
H itachi and International Centre for Industrial Transformation have announced that Hitachi will implement INCIT’ s Smart Industry Readiness Index( SIRI) and XIRI-Analytics, an analytics platform, to accelerate the Digital Transformation( DX) of Hitachi’ s global manufacturing operations.
In the next Mid-Term Management Plan, Hitachi aims to realise a‘ True One Hitachi’ with digital at its core and to further grow the Social Innovation Business. To achieve this sustainable growth, it is essential to leverage Hitachi’ s strengths in IT, OT and products, and to accelerate the creation of unique value globally. In this context, it is necessary for the business divisions that handle products to build a production system that carries out all stages from design to manufacturing at optimal locations in Japan and overseas. It is also important to combine global manufacturing know-how with digital technology. Hitachi has been working to optimise the entire value chain from development to manufacturing and maintenance, and to enhance smart factories. In 2020, Hitachi was the first Japanese company to be selected as a‘ Lighthouse’, the world’ s advanced factories.
INCIT’ s SIRI, which will be introduced at this time, is a method for assessing the digital maturity of manufacturers and is the first such method offered by an independent, non-governmental organisation in the world. The XIRI-Analytics, an analytics platform is used globally in 67 countries, 12 industries and 57 subsegments, and is designed to support manufacturers’ DX efforts, regardless of scale of the business or industry. With XIRI-Analytics, stakeholders can make more informed decisions and accelerate their efforts to improve DX in manufacturing, sustainability and ESG assessments.
