Accelerate Your IoT
Journey With Hitachi’s
Intelligent, Secure IoT
Platform: Lumada
Improve Operational Efficiency for Manufacturing,
Energy Utilities, Transportation and Cities
S O LU T IO N PRO F I L E
All major businesses and organizations are facing the daunting task of unleashing the value from their
internet of things (IoT) data: They need to reduce costs and digitally transform their operations, or
be left behind by the competition. However, this task can be very complex and both time and cost
consuming. It can result in silos of IoT solutions that don’t bridge the operational technology (OT)
and informational technology (IT) gaps that are prevalent across organizations. In addition, the lack of
experience and the plethora of platforms and solutions on the market further complicate these efforts.
Lumada, Hitachi’s intelligent IoT platform, addresses these challenges head on, illuminating IoT data
in meaningful ways. Lumada helps organizations increase their time to value by leveraging Hitachi’s
over 107 years of OT and 58 years of IT experience, and bridges the technology gaps with proven
expertise and technology that is unmatched in the industry.
Lumada Enables Greater Visibility of
Assets and Operations
Lumada improves visibility for manufacturers to optimize their production schedules and be alerted to
possible quality issues prior to products leaving the factory, which could otherwise lead to costly recalls.
In addition, Hitachi’s IoT platform is equipped with advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning technology that is now enabling utilities and power producers to increase their
profitability today, by optimizing flexible energy generation and automating multimarket trading.

DATA
Lumada illuminates IoT data by leveraging a three tiered ecosystem: IoT platform, solution cores and
co-creation services
Lumada Quickly and Cost-Efficiently Illuminates and Harnesses the Value of IoT Data
Lumada is an intelligent ecosystem. It consists of a composable IoT platform that leverages repeatable
solution cores for faster time to value, with co-creation services that are adaptable to customers’ unique
challenges. Lumada greatly simplifies and accelerates the creation of IoT-based digital business solutions via
a common platform, to address both near- and long-term needs.
Do you need to predict equipment failure to reduce maintenance costs in a factory or transportation system?
Are you tasked to optimize renewable energy sources for utilities that need to meet clean energy goals? Do
you want to predict future crime hot spots in urban cities? In all of these scenarios, Lumada can help.

IoT Innovation Gets Easier, Faster
and More Predictable With Lumada
Intelligent, Composable and Secure IoT Platform
Lumada brings together the latest innovations in AI,
advanced analytics and asset virtualization using
asset avatars. These innovations are combined
into a composable, secure and flexible platform, to
deliver actionable insights and superior outcomes.
Intelligent: Lumada leverages Hitachi’s asset avatar
technology for a full 360-degree perspective on all
managed machine and human IoT assets. Lumada
also incorporates machine learning, advanced
analytics and AI technologies, to deliver superior
insight that operations personnel and control
systems can take action on.
Composable: Lumada’s composable architecture
allows organizations to switch architectural
components with third-party alternatives as
needed. Components can even run on the edge
(on-premises) or in the cloud to provide flexibility as
per their business needs.
Secure: Lumada is secure by design, and security
is built into every aspect of the Lumada architecture
and platform, from the edge to the core. Security is
supported across solutions that leverage Lumada,
for both data at rest and in transit, and across the
full OT and IT infrastructure.
Solution Cores for Faster Time to Value
Solution cores are repeatable building blocks that
can accelerate the creation of IoT solutions with
proven outcomes, putting you on the fast track to
provide insights, predictions and recommendations.
They package experience and expertise with tested
methodologies, workflows, rules, data and software
code in forms that can be combined into IoT solutions.
Faster Time to Value: Solution cores are proven
and repeatable building blocks that accelerate
solution creation. They encapsulate previous
experience, methodologies and developed
technology to let you focus on adding value and
tailoring the solution to your unique needs.
Reduced Risk: One of the greatest challenges
operations managers and CxOs face is minimizing
business risks while investing in their IoT digital
transformation. Lumada helps to offset this dilemma
by using solution cores that have already been
validated in real-life deployments.
