HITACHI HIGH-TECH AND HITACHI COLLABORATE ON DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT WITH ITRI

Hitachi High-Tech Corporation and Hitachi, Ltd. announced a collaborative creation that utilizes the Materials Informatics ("MI") solutions provided by the Hitachi Group on the “MACSiMUM*”, AI and machine learning platform, operated by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the largest industrial technology research and development organization in Taiwan.

Supported by the Department of Industrial Technology, Ministry of Economic Affairs (Taiwan), a ceremony and a networking event were held in Hsinchu County, Taiwan, to commemorate the start of the co-creation. The representatives discussed the significance of the co-creation and agreed to work together to make effective use of their technical capabilities and resources, with the aim of pursuing new developments and achieving sustainable industrial development in material science.

In this co-creation, Hitachi High-Tech Taiwan Corporation, a Hitachi High-Tech Group company, provides Hitachi's analytics platform with MI which supports digital transformation of materials analysis and R&D to ITRI. This will contribute to the provision of a more optimized analytics platform required by customers who use “MACSiMUM”, thereby reducing the number of experiments, improving the efficiency of materials R&D, accelerating the development of new materials, and reducing R&D costs.

Through this co-creation, Hitachi High-Tech, Hitachi and ITRI will support the acceleration of digital transformation in Taiwan's materials development industry, the development of new technologies and innovation, while contributing to improvements of industrial standards.
