NEW DELHI, Sept 26: Hitachi has announced the launch of the global Hitachi AI Factory, which is based on the NVIDIA AI factory reference architecture, yielding a centralized infrastructure designed to accelerate the development and deployment of physical AI solutions across Hitachi’s core business sectors, an official statement said.
An ‘AI Factory’ refers to a specialized, industrialized infrastructure that automates and scales the entire artificial intelligence lifecycle, from data collection to model training to deployment and continuous improvement.
This factory is powered by Hitachi iQ with NVIDIA HGX B200 systems featuring NVIDIA Blackwell Graphics Processing Units (GPUs); Hitachi iQ M Series with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition GPUs; and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform.
“This strategic collaboration between Hitachi and NVIDIA is becoming a key engine for solving complex real-world problems, accelerating social innovation. Our work together leverages NVIDIA AI infrastructure to achieve both both DX (Digital Transformation) and GX (Green Transformation) with solutions,” said Jun Abe, General Manager of Digital Systems and Services Division.
“By establishing a global NVIDIA AI Factory, we can now operate as a true ‘One Hitachi’ across regions and organizations. A synergy will accelerate physical AI innovations, as exemplified by HMAX.” Abe added.
The Hitachi AI factory is strategically distributed across the United States, EMEA, and Japan, ensuring that Hitachi’s engineers can collaborate seamlessly and access powerful computing resources with low latency, no matter where they are.
This interconnected network will support the creation of a wide range of physical AI applications, driving new levels of efficiency, productivity, and safety across industries.
On this announcement, Justin Boitano, Vice President of Enterprise AI products, NVIDIA said, “With NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and software, Hitachi’s AI factory infrastructure provides a transformative platform for building and deploying enterprise and physical AI.”
The initiative reinforces Hitachi’s commitment to using cutting-edge technology to drive both social and business innovation.
