Hitachi’ s approach is already delivering significant results. The AQI solution has been deployed across more than 400 machines for a leading global automotive manufacturer, fundamentally improving its quality control and predictive maintenance capabilities. By tackling the root causes of machinery stoppages and enhancing product quality, Hitachi is proving the real-world value of its AI-first computer vision approach.
Ganesh believes this technology is reshaping the industry.“ AI is already reshaping the competitive landscape of global manufacturing and supply chains,” he says. Manufacturers that embrace AI can see up to a 10 % improvement in raw material and process efficiency. AI can extend product life by 15-20 %, creating significant value through digital revenue streams and servitisation.
“ This shift not only enhances operational efficiency but also opens up new business models focused on product-as-a-service, allowing manufacturers to derive ongoing value from their products long after they leave the factory floor. The result is a more agile, efficient and sustainable global manufacturing ecosystem.”
