Hitachi Application Reliability Centers (HARC) - Creating mature CloudOps

As many companies actively embrace public cloud adoption as part of their DX initiatives, they face challenges such as increased operational burdens and the need for effective troubleshooting. HARC(Hitachi Application Reliability Centers) aims to address these challenges by maturing cloud operations through the application of SRE principles. Working closely with over 40 customer operations teams, HARC has succeeded in reducing operational loads and improving the reliability and stability of cloud-based services. In this exhibition, we will provide an overview of HARC and showcase case studies that highlight its achievements. 

EX05-10

Technological development for the carbon neutrality

Achieving carbon neutrality in 2050 will require conventional energy conservation measures, the expansion of low-carbon energy, and also development of innovative technologies from the perspectives of mitigation and adaptation. Hitachi R&D group is developing innovative technologies related to the production and supply of green hydrogen and bio-based CO2 resource recovery. In the exhibition, we will show a water electrolysis hydrogen production system that utilizes high voltage technology, which is Hitachi's unique strength technology, energy management that integratedly controls the supply and demand of electricity and hydrogen, and AI data management infrastructure platform for bio-based CO2 resource recovery design.

EX05-11

Hitachi Designed Cell Development Platform

Cell therapies are attracting great expectations from society as they pave the way for radical treatments that cannot be satisfied by conventional small molecule drugs. However, due to the high prices, the current medical care is not available. Hitachi R&D group is developing technologies that reduce the drug discovery cost and cell medicines manufacturing, and to promote the cell medicines use. The designed cell development platform, which consists of gene sequence Generative AI, a high-throughput cell creation and drug efficacy evaluation system, improve the drug discovery efficiency. In addition, the automated culture technology will be used to efficiently produce high-quality cells and reduce the pharmaceuticals cost. Hitachi provides total seamless solutions from drug discovery to pharmaceuticals.

What Are “Designed Cells” and Why Are They Attracting Attention?

EX05-12

Development of quantum computing-related technologies

With the advancement of Generative AI, drug discovery and pharmaceuticals, material informatics, etc., the importance of computing to change data into models and value is increasing. In this exhibition, we will introduce CMOS annealing technology developed by the R&D group and already in business. This technology can simulate the behavior of the Ising model on a semiconductor and efficiently solve optimization problems. In addition, we will introduce the development status of gate-type silicon quantum computers that utilize semiconductor technology that is superior to large-scale production, which is being developed in collaboration with the Cabinet Office's Moonshot R&D Program with the aim of creating an error-correcting general-purpose quantum computer in the future.

Mobility control infrastructure “Digital Road”

Hitachi has developed a mobility control infrastructure “Digital Road” which achieves a high degree of safety and operational efficiency in transport infrastructure. 
When automatically or remotely operating mobility devices, the new technology determines environmental changes along a route in real time, such as weather or status of wireless communication, manages them within a digital space to predict subsequent changes, and calculates a safe movement route, thus enabling stable operation. 
In this way it can provide safe and efficient automatic operation for supporting daily living and recovery activities in disaster-stricken areas.

Research on AI robots accelerating frontline work innovation

In order to innovate front-line work such as construction and maintenance of social infrastructure equipment, Hitachi is developing technology for AI robots that switches the importance of multimodal sensor information such as vision and force perception during work in real time, depending on the nature of the work and the environment. Until now, Hitachi has been working with Professor Tetsuya Ogata and his colleagues at Waseda University to develop deep predictive learning robots. This technology enables robots to perform both actions that humans perform casually and complex actions acquired through experience. Hitachi is currently participating in the Cabinet Office’s Moonshot Research and Development Program to accelerate our research on human interaction and will accelerate its efforts to solve labour shortages in the social infrastructure field in the future.

AI Assistant for frontline workers in decision making support

Hitachi aims to provide one-stop services ranging from plant execution to facility management, operation, and maintenance, including the production of large products such as electric power and railroads.
We have developed AI Assistant technology for frontline workers. The technology presents information for supporting decision of workers. The technology utilizes OT knowledge that has been tacitly refined through these daily operations in the metaverse and converting it into formal knowledge through AI.
Specifically, when equipment malfunctions or other problems occur onsite, the AI will select appropriate similar past cases and the related manuals based on the situation onsite and propose them to the workers.
By assisting frontline workers in making on-site work decisions, the system transforms tough on-site work into safe, high-quality work.

Challenges of the Circular Economy for creating the sustainable future

Hitachi is promoting various initiatives to achieve a “Circular Economy (CE)” society that combines environmental and economic values.

Together with the “Hitachi-AIST Circular Economy Cooperative Research Laboratory”, we are formulating a grand design for an “ideal future” and developing digital solutions as well as rules and standardization strategies. Hitachi R&D group also aims to provide solutions and products to solve issues faced by customers and society, and is developing a “scenario simulator” that enables stakeholders to improve economy and the circulation of goods, and a “design and informatics” project to promote the use of recycled materials.

We are also developing a “design and informatics fusion technology” to promote the utilization of recycled materials.

We will introduce the social vision and solutions we are aiming for, we will also present actual examples of products that use recycled materials and other examples of products that use recycled materials.
