Shape the Future
of Energy Delivery,
Together

Energy is at a turning point. While fossil fuels still underpin global demand, electrification and renewables are reshaping the future. For utilities, this creates a dual mandate: maintain reliable, affordable service today while modernizing operations for a cleaner, more flexible energy system.

Hitachi Digital Services leverages over a century of Hitachi Limited engineering expertise combined with advanced digital intelligence to help utilities and energy providers connect physical infrastructure, operational data, and digital platforms – improving service reliability, asset performance, and resilience across regulated environments.

Shape the Future of Energy Delivery, Together
Challenge & Opportunity

Connect Complexity. Capture Opportunity.

Utility leaders must balance cost, sustainability, and supply security – while modernizing legacy systems, meeting compliance mandates, and integrating new energy sources. For utilities in particular, aging infrastructure, workforce constraints, extreme weather, and rising customer expectations increase pressure on daily operations.

From upstream platforms to grid and field operations, our solutions harness cloud, AI, IT/OT integration, and intelligent infrastructure to improve operational visibility, outage response, asset health, and regulatory confidence across utility environments.

FAQ

We support electric, gas, water, and multi-utilities across transmission, distribution, field operations, and customer service environments. Our solutions are designed for regulated, mission-critical utility operations, helping operators maintain reliability, safety, and compliance while modernizing infrastructure and service delivery.

We bridge Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) by working closely across the Hitachi ecosystem – including Hitachi Energy, Hitachi Vantara, GlobalLogic, and Method. This allows us to unify grid systems, asset platforms, software, and data infrastructure, enabling utilities to modernize operations while systems remain live and compliant.

Our utility portfolio spans cloud, AI, industrial IoT, analytics, cybersecurity, and asset and field service platforms. These technologies support:
  • Predictive maintenance and outage prevention
  • Digital twins for utility assets and networks
  • Intelligent inspection and condition monitoring
  • Workforce productivity and safety
  • Regulatory reporting and compliance
All capabilities are integrated through secure, scalable architectures designed for utility operations.

Lumada is Hitachi’s digital platform for integrating IT, OT, AI, and edge–cloud data across complex utility systems. In utilities, Lumada powers:
  • Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
  • Asset Performance Management (APM)
  • Field Service Management (FSM)
  • Predictive analytics and outage prevention
It enables utilities to improve uptime, safety, and lifecycle value while maintaining regulatory and operational control.

Smart Spaces and Video Intelligence (SSVI) applies AI-driven video, thermal, and sensor analytics to monitor substations, transmission and distribution assets, and critical infrastructure. For utilities, SSVI enables:
  • Early detection of asset defects and hazards
  • Remote inspections and reduced field exposure
  • Improved situational awareness and safety
