Hitachi is looking at how electronics can contribute to realizing both a comfortable
and highly productive smart and a low-environmental impact carbon-free society.
Research is being conducted on extracting, analyzing and controlling information
from physical space, edge system, augmented and virtual reality systems,
power devices, energy management as well as semiconductor manufacturing
and inspection equipment to support the electronics industry.
Researching and developing network systems that connect physical space (edge system) with cyber space (cloud), and to transform data into value, as well as technologies for edge and cloud cooperation.
Developing artificial intelligence (AI) technology that incorporates both the high power efficiency and real-time processing required by edge devices. By advancing edge devices, we are enabling intelligence in industrial equipment and robotics.
Developing sensors and sensing systems such as monitoring of urban space using high-frequency wave technology and analog and digital circuits. Such sensing technologies ensure efficient maintenance and operation of societal infrastructure.
Using optical information processing to develop interface technologies that connect physical spaces with cyber space. We are also integrating optics with signal processing and control, to create high-added-value sensing and display systems.
Developing innovative power devices, energy sensing systems, and energy control technology for railway/automotive electrification systems and autonomous distributed power systems.
Developing nano-scale fabrication and metrology technologies as well as AI-based process recipe optimization technologies to support the semiconductor production and materials industries.
