Making Factory Execution
Faster and Smarter
Modern manufacturers need higher throughput, better quality, and safer operations – without a pause in production. As part of our Industry 5.0 practice, Hitachi Digital Services delivers end-to-end Smart Manufacturing capabilities to strengthen shopfloor execution, and better support innovation and sustainability. We connect systems, data, and automation through MOM/MES, digital twins, Industrial AI, and IT/OT/ET integration – enabling Factory of the Future outcomes that scale across plants, lines, and regions.
When Operations Cannot See, They Cannot Improve
Smart Manufacturing initiatives stall when plants run on disconnected systems, inconsistent processes, and limited real-time visibility. That slows decision-making, weakens traceability increases quality drift, and leads to avoidable downtime. Standardizing execution, connecting data across systems, and embedding intelligence into daily operations sets you up to continuously improve performance.
Standardize and Scale Execution Across Plants
Build consistent, real-time execution across lines, plants, and regions with standardized MOM/MES capabilities that improve traceability, control, and performance visibility across manufacturing operations.
-
Standard Operating Model
Design and implement MOM/MES operating models aligned to ISA-95 for consistent execution across plants and regions. -
Execution Control
Enable production execution, scheduling, WIP tracking, and genealogy with real-time operational control.
-
Performance Visibility
Improve visibility using standardized KPIs to track throughput, quality, and operational efficiency. -
Traceability Foundation
Strengthen product traceability and compliance across manufacturing processes and systems.
Optimize Performance Before it Impacts Production
Use digital twins to simulate manufacturing scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and improve decision-making, enabling more stable operations and better performance without disrupting production.
