JFE Steel and Hitachi Team Up to Develop JFE Resolus

JFE Steel Corporation and Hitachi, Ltd. have begun a collaborative creation that combines the strengths of both companies to expand JFE Steel’s manufacturing solution business “JFE Resolus”. In this initiative, Hitachi will systematize its own business transformation know-how (practical knowledge), such as experience and case studies in creating and deploying solutions cultivated through the Lumada business, and apply it to the solution business of JFE Steel, an external partner, for the first time, thereby providing support from conception to execution of JFE Steel’s solution business. By combining Hitachi’s practical knowledge with the technology, operation, and research know-how cultivated in steel manufacturing, JFE Steel will accelerate the evolution and sophistication of Resolus and further strengthen the solution of social issues throughout the manufacturing industry.

JFE Steel is aiming to expand its solutions-based business model, which utilizes the world’s highest level of technology, operation and research know-how it has cultivated in steel manufacturing, and combines high-value-added manufacturing, advanced equipment maintenance, and environmental load reduction technologies and digital technologies to actively provide total solutions to the steel industry and other manufacturing industries in general, and is already expanding its technical collaboration both domestically and overseas. The two companies have a track record of co-creating automatic control systems for cold rolling processes, and this initiative will further develop that relationship and further accelerate the expansion of JFE Steel’s solutions business.

Hitachi has systematized the requirements and practical methods for a digital organization that supports business transformation into a reproducible methodology based on the practical knowledge it has gained through its Lumada business, a company-wide initiative on digital transformation that has been a focus of Hitachi’s business portfolio reform over the years.

Since May 2025, the two companies have been working closely together to utilize Hitachi’s methodologies to materialize concepts and formulate action items in order to address the challenges JFE Steel faces in “customer-centric service design, implementation and commercialization” as it seeks to further expand its solutions business. Specifically, the two companies will utilize Hitachi’s methods for collaboration between sales and upstream engineering, search for past cases, direct contact with personnel, and mechanisms and methodologies (Lumada Solution Hub, Lumada Playbook) for sharing source code, documents, development environments and knowledge.

今後について 日立 will further leverage the knowledge base and human resource development know-how it has built to visualize, reuse and deploy knowledge within JFE Steel, thereby creating mechanisms to support the sophistication and sustainable growth of its solutions business.
