Hitachi and Google Cloud are deepening their partnership. They want to change frontline operations with AI agents. They will focus on operational technology (OT). This will improve frontline work in social infrastructure. This includes electricity, railways, and manufacturing. The initiative uses グーグル・クラウド’s Gemini Enterprise. This multimodal AI can handle text, images, audio, and video at the same time. It helps simplify complex on-site operations.
In Hitachi’s Agent Factory, frontline staff can build AI agents for specific tasks. They don’t need coding skills or special training. Merging Google Cloud’s AI with Hitachi’s expertise makes it safer to use sensitive operational data. It also helps manage complex processes effectively.
日立 Power Solutions has started initial applications. They are focused on inspecting vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) in substations. AI agents check images from before and after maintenance. They alert users to any anomalies. This boosts accuracy and improves operational efficiency. The system is easy to adjust. Personnel can add checkpoints. They can also include past failures and reference images in simple terms.
