In the Super Smart Society (Society 5.0) era,
we generate Trust for supply chains through
"Digital Trust" to create a secure future.
In recent years, amid a lack of technicians and intensifying price competition, incidents of fraudulent practices have become a serious social issue.
At the same time, with the progress of digitalization, producers and consumers now exchange data in real time, allowing them to share status information. This is accelerating the complexity of supply chains and globalization.
Due to this significant change in the flow of data, there is a burgeoning demand for quality assurance of products and services, making the trustworthiness of supply chains (Trust) ever more important.
Hitachi aims to achieve Trustworthy supply chains by merging the latest digital technologies, products,
and know-how at manufacturing sites with a focus on the social infrastructure field.
The “Digital Trust” we have created is provided not only to producers, but also to consumers in order to contribute to
achieving a secure and comfortable Super Smart Society.
Trust technology that uses the business know-how of factories, logistics, and retail businesses.
Visualization of correctly executed production activities on supply chains generates Trust.
By connecting this mechanism, we aim to achieve a Trustworthy supply chain.
| Conformance Validation | This validates whether production activities were performed correctly as stated in the corresponding regulations. |
|---|---|
| Digital Evidence |
This evidence is used to explain to a third party that production activities are performed correctly. |
| Trust Store | This stores the Trust of companies and is connected via the supply chain. |
A part of this technology development is executed by
"SIP-CPS (Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program - Cyber Physical Security) for IoT Society project" (managed by NEDO) of the SIP, which is advanced by the Cabinet Office.
NEDO: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization
To execute Conformance Validation, we use sensor, video, and other such information, to confirm that production processes are carried out exactly according to procedures and to confirm the state of materials. This results in quality improvement.
When the way people connect changes, their values and the services they demand also change.
Adopting a three-pronged approach, we used Vision Design* to think about
what "Shape of trust" is generated in a trustworthy society.
