Singtel, a communications technology group in Asia, and Hitachi Digital, representing Hitachi’s end-to-end digital transformation services and technology capabilities, announced a new collaboration that will help to accelerate industrial AI solutions by pairing Hitachi’s AI technology with Singtel’s Paragon platform, an all-in-one orchestration platform for 5G, edge computing and cloud.
Hitachi 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 help 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 help enable enterprises to transcend the limitations of complex, low-latency connectivity and productivity experiences.
Hitachi’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 authorized System Integrator, presenting a unique value proposition to enterprise customers looking to leverage multiple network protocols in delivering digital transformation in industrial settings.
Organizations have often struggled with industrial 5G deployments because of complex and fragmented solutions. AI has added a new layer of complexity to this equation as organizations now also attempt to accelerate AI adoption in these scenarios. Singtel Paragon is a solution that helps to enable them to connect with the 5G network and more securely deploy edge computing and AI more rapidly on telco infrastructure, thus helping to reduce time-to-market and shorten the innovation curve.
The collaboration between Singtel and Hitachi will bring together interoperable solutions with delivery services, which can benefit organizations seeking to address industrial AI complexity.
