What is Hitachi Control Technology?

Mr. Shigeru Sugiyama, Deputy Managing Director, Hitachi India Pvt. Ltd.

As India’s economy develops rapidly, a stable power supply and highly efficient energy need to be provided. Hitachi owns a control system, which allows stable electricity supply along with efficiency. The company also owns an information system, which provides efficiency to operations. As Hitachi owns both systems, the company can integrate the two to provide optimized systems, products and solutions for efficient energy, suitably for India.
This integration of control and information is not just about processing data for efficient operations. It collects and analyses factories and infrastructure operations information. The system also sends the result of this analysis for feedback to the system, which creates better products, optimization and makes the process delay-free. This system is an essential requisite for enhanced efficiency and optimization to streamline the development of social and urban infrastructure, such as thermal power plants, energy transmission lines, railway lines and large sized steel plants. These are also fields where Hitachi is very good, which stands affirmed by the industry as well.

What are the company’s offerings aimed at the infrastructure industry in general and the energy sector in particular?

Due to rapid economic growth in India, customer needs are growing, such as building large sized factories (eg. power plants, steel plants, petro-chemical plants, etc.). Investments in renewable energy are also increasing to achieve a low carbon society. To answer these needs, Hitachi Hi-Rel Power Electronics (HHPE) has been established to provide products which allow stable operations and electrical power savings for large-sized factories.
Hitachi has also established Hitachi NeST Control Systems (HNC). This company will contribute to engineering control systems, production, local adjustments and maintenance thoroughly, targeted mainly at thermal power plants. In information and control technologies, these two companies will answer increasing customer needs.
