Hitachi and Google Cloud are advancing physical AI deployment by expanding their strategic alliance. The objective of the companies is to increase the real-life use of AI while ensuring cybersecurity. The partnership will combine the strength of Lumada from Hitachi and cutting-edge AI tools from Google Cloud. Thereby driving physical AI deployment across industries globally.
Moreover, Hitachi plans to enhance its Forward Deployed Engineers model to support customers directly. The engineers will engage with the clients to overcome any issues that the business might be facing. In addition, they will fast-track the creation and validation of AI-based solutions. Consequently, businesses can achieve faster outcomes and reduced implementation risks.
Strengthening AI Capabilities and Cybersecurity Integration
In addition, the companies will upgrade HMAX using Gemini Enterprise. This integration will enable autonomous operations in complex environments. It will further aid employees in making informed decisions on the spot. Moreover, there will be a platform that enables the reuse of domain knowledge. Such an approach makes it easier to implement physical AI applications effectively. On the other hand, the two firms will reinforce their cybersecurity architectures. The number of attacks is rising fast in today’s environment. For this reason, Hitachi and Google Cloud will apply the latest security mechanisms. This will involve Google Cloud Security and AI Threat Defense products.
Comment from Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud
“Combining Hitachi’s deep domain knowledge, GlobalLogic’s engineering strength, and Google Cloud’s advanced AI and engineering resources represents an innovative approach to accelerating AI transformation in real-world environments. This partnership will better empower customers to implement AI agents and create value faster. In addition, by integrating Google Cloud Security’s advanced solutions with Hitachi’s expertise in mission-critical domains, we will help enable our customers to innovate within a secure, trusted environment for the AI era.”
Comment from Jun Abe, Executive Vice President, Head of Digital Systems & Services Sector, Hitachi
“Hitachi has been proactively promoting the introduction and practical use of Gemini Enterprise at scale as Customer Zero, and has experienced significant improvements in operational efficiency and productivity as a result. The expansion of this strategic alliance is intended to enable both companies to take on more complex challenges, based on the enhanced development of FDE capabilities. By combining the world’s most advanced AI implementation approaches developed by Google Cloud with Hitachi’s co-creation approach and GlobalLogic’s outstanding digital engineering capabilities, we aim to create value from physical AI in customers’ business environments. Furthermore, to deliver this value safely, we will integrate Hitachi’s expertise in building mission-critical systems with Google Cloud Security’s advanced technology and services, protect social infrastructure from threats in the AI era, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.”
