Co-Creation Approach

Lumada’s Customer Co-creation FrameworkSupporting Customers’ Digital Transformation Through Design-led Digital Engineering

At Hitachi, we view design as a continuous process that revolves around always putting people at the center, identifying objectives, and planning and executing strategies to achieve those objectives. With deep knowledge of the dynamic market landscape and customer needs, we develop products and solutions that truly embody the desired value through iterative cycles of learning from failures, continuous improvement, exploration, and adaptation.

Using design-led digital engineering, we understand your business challenges and how to leverage Hitachi’s vast array of assets, including AI tools, methodologies, use cases, solutions, and extensive product knowledge. With our deep understanding of your needs, we provide a comprehensive range of services that span solution design, system integration, connected products, and managed services.

We discover new challenges and insights by leveraging the data generated from the customer’s business activities and cutting-edge technology. By iterating the customer’s digital transformation, we support their sustainable business growth.

Truly embody the desired value

Digital talent, well-versed in domain knowledge, leverages Hitachi’s vast repository of assets to quickly create value.

Design thinkers, data scientists, digital engineers, and other professionals who have an understanding of rich domain knowledge accumulated through collaborative creation with customers from various industries and businesses utilize the wealth of assets (AI tools, methodologies, use cases, solutions, etc.) that Hitachi has accumulated to quickly create new value tailored to the customer’s challenges.

Support for business expansion through continuous improvement

Hitachi’s engineering team collaborates closely with customers throughout their business creation process, fostering ongoing enhancements to their services and products. By striving for continuous improvement, we actively contribute to the expansion of our customers’ businesses.

Digital talents who understand customers’ domain and are knowledgeable in OT, product, and IT work together to continuously support customers’ business processes.

  • In digital engineering, these experts rapidly identify essential customer challenges and offer solutions.
  • For system integration, system engineers collaborate with diverse experts possessing abundant knowledge of OT, products, and IT. Their joint efforts support application and system development, considering practical implementation methods.
  • In connected products and managed services, Hitachi assists customers in understanding new management challenges by analyzing usage data obtained from the service provision of customer applications and systems.

Co-creation CasesAchieving Sustainable Growth By Providing Innovative Customer Experience

1. Providing Innovative Customer Experiences through Smart Mobility

In Genova, Italy, the integrated smart mobility solution “Lumada Intelligent Mobility Management” has been used to digitally connect the entire urban transportation network, including public transportation and car-sharing. This will not only make public transportation more convenient but also contribute to decarbonization efforts.

Hitachi and AMT Genova have transformed the transportation infrastructure, which previously required separate reservations and payments for each mode of transportation such as buses, subways, and cable cars, into a smart mobility service where passengers can use the hands-free mobile app 360Pass.

2. Data-driven insights facilitate the sustainable growth of our customers’ businesses

By gaining insights from the data obtained through smart mobility services and evolving the services, we achieve sustainable growth for our customers’ businesses.

By visualizing CO2 emissions during train and electric vehicle usage to encourage further behavioral changes, and by utilizing acquired transportation data for timetable revisions and services during disasters, the diverse evolution of services will enable both the growth of our customers’ businesses and social contributions.
