The Lumada IoT platform collects, blends, analyzes and acts on human, machine and business data from across the enterprise to accelerate time to value.

Lumada Delivers Greater Visibility of Assets and OperationsData holds immense potential to reduce costs, increase efficiency and seize new opportunities. But until that data is illuminated and actionable information has been derived, you cannot gain its full value. The Lumada IoT platform connects OT and IT systems to deliver today’s most advanced capabilities. This approach promotes greater visibility and turns your data into intelligent action.

Lumada Illuminates and Harnesses the Value of Your Data

Lumada is an edge-to-outcome IoT platform built on the following:

■■ Lumada edge, which analyzes, filters and secures data from sensors and assets, and integrates the results into business operations for a comprehensive, real-time view of asset status.

■■ Lumada core, which connects assets, collects data, provides identity and access management, and creates and stores digital representations of physical assets called asset avatars.

■■ Lumada analytics, which brings together machine learning, artificial intelligence, data blending, a rules engine and a range of advanced algorithms to continually increase optimization and transformation.

■■ Lumada studio, which brings together analytic information, alerts and notifications, and business enablement in dashboards to give you fast, meaningful insights into your data.

■■ Lumada foundry, which delivers a foundation for the rapid development of service-based apps used to deploy, compose and package product solutions.

Illuminate Your Data With Lumada IoT PlatformIntelligent: Delivers Superior InsightLumada is an intelligent platform that uses Hitachi’s asset avatar technology for a 360-degree perspective on assets. This intelligence incorporates machine learning, advanced analytics and AI technologies to deliver superior insight that benefits operations personnel and control systems.

Composable: Allows Choice of Architectural ComponentsLumada’s composable architecture allows organizations to choose which components of the platform to use. It also allows integration with third-party alternatives, as needed. With this modular architecture, Lumada can provide IoT solutions that deliver the best outcomes for customers.

Secure: Employs Encryption and Authentication The Lumada IoT platform is secure at every tier of the system. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest from the edge to the core, and every asset must present a secure access token to be authenticated.

Accelerate Innovation and Outcomes With Data-Driven Insights

Flexible: Provides Options for Hosting Data and OperationsLumada runs everywhere, giving industrial customers the flexibility to host data and operations on-premises, in the cloud or in hybrid deployments.

Create Outcomes Powered by Your Data InsightsPrevent Quality Problems With Early Discovery and Correction of IssuesIdentify quality problems before products leave the factory by leveraging real-time monitoring, notifications and alerts. Rapidly identify product defects and conduct root cause analysis to reduce scrap, improve first pass yield and enhance traceability.

Identify Bottlenecks and Optimize Production SchedulingOptimize production scheduling through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence. Identify disruptions, implement countermeasures and deliver optimal production schedules to increase productivity and ensure on-time delivery.

Boost Energy Generation, ProfitabilityMeasure, monitor and manage energy delivery and performance in real time. Use algorithms and analytics to gain insights, and machine learning to optimize energy generation and profitability.

Co-Creation Services Tailored to Your Unique NeedsWith our co-creation approach, we collaborate and innovate with you to jointly develop solutions to meet your unique requirements. We leverage Hitachi’s deep industrial experience with machines, sensors and

analytics to co-create solutions in four phases.

Engage: Proceed Based on Your PrioritiesWe start by first understanding your needs and priorities. Then, we shape our collaboration based on our deep knowledge of technologies and processes, our real-life experience across industries, and the needs of the organization.

Build the Model: Consider Entire Solution Life CycleWe analyze your sample data to understand the issues. We build the analytic models to evaluate options and concepts across the entire solution life cycle, from innovation, enablement and execution through continuous engagement and collaboration.

Create the Solution: Verify PerformanceBased on the evaluation of analytic models, we assemble a solution from the models and concepts. Then we execute a proof-of-concept project with pipelines of your data to verify your solution’s performance.

Validate the Solution: Confirm OutcomesAfter completing the proof-of-concept project, we conduct a pilot deployment and verify the solution’s performance with live data from your OT and IT systems. We work together to verify outcomes before integrating the solution into your business operations.

Hitachi has allowed us to transform how we think about our data and how we’re going to be collecting data into the future about our buildings, about how people are moving around our campus, and what’s happening in our classrooms.
