By combining Hitachi’s AI, which enables short-term learning, with FANUC’s AI-powered industrial robots, we will build an advanced physical AI that can be immediately applied to complex tasks.
Through a joint demonstration project using Hitachi Group factories as a “customer-free” environment, the physical AI will be further trained and evolved, and joint deployment will begin in fiscal year 2027, leveraging the global customer bases of both companies.
Hitachi, Ltd. have entered into a strategic partnership to jointly commercialize the implementation of physical AI. In this partnership, the two companies will promote joint demonstration and joint deployment of physical AI that combines Hitachi’s AI technology, represented by “HMAX Industry,” with FANUC’s AI-powered industrial robots. In the demonstration, Hitachi Group factories will be used as “customer zero” to allow the AI to continuously learn the site-specific rules of production activities. This will enable the practical application of physical AI that can flexibly and accurately respond to on-site challenges, which cannot be achieved through imitation learning or simulation in a virtual space (digital twin) alone.

Leveraging the implementation and operational know-how of physical AI gained through joint demonstrations, the two companies will deploy the technology to customers starting in fiscal year 2027, utilizing their global installed bases across a wide range of industrial sectors, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, high-performance materials, automotive, logistics, food, shipbuilding, and agriculture. By significantly accelerating the automation of tasks that currently rely on the experience and manual labor of skilled workers, such as setup changes when supplying parts or changing production varieties, they will contribute to solving customer challenges such as labor shortages and skills transfer.
