Singtel and Hitachi Digital Partner to Accelerate Industrial AI Solutions
Collaboration to accelerate enterprise digital transformation and integrate Hitachi's industrial applications with Singtel's Paragon ecosystem
\nSanta Clara, Calif. & Singapore - 27 June 2024 - Singtel, a leading communications technology group in Asia, and Hitachi Digital, representing Hitachi's broad end-to-end digital transformation services and technology capabilities, today announced a new collaboration that will pair Hitachi's deep AI expertise with Singtel's Paragon platform, the all-in-one orchestration platform for 5G, edge computing and cloud.
\nHitachi Digital will deploy Paragon at the Hitachi Americas' Santa Clara R&D Labs, followed by a pilot in a U.S. factory for Industry 4.0 use cases. The pilot will aim to validate the interoperability of Hitachi AI applications on quality assurance, workplace safety, immersive training and pre-emptive maintenance on Paragon. The trial will also enable the integration of Paragon with Hitachi industry cloud applications and digital services to enable enterprises to transcend the limitations of complex, low-latency connectivity and productivity experiences.
\nHitachi's pre-built Industrial AI applications together with the Paragon platform's network and multi-cloud orchestration capabilities will be used to create multiple Paragon-related offerings to help clients improve and accelerate their cloud operations. Subsequently, Hitachi Digital Services will go to market with these offerings as a Singtel Paragon authorised System Integrator - presenting a unique value proposition to enterprise customers looking to leverage multiple network protocols in delivering digital transformation in industrial settings.
