Beginning in December 2016, the three companies started the first proofs of concept by installing sensors in the Hitachi Asia headquarters in Singapore, collecting a wide range of data to analyse usage of its office space. Following this, a series of studies will be conducted to look at advanced facilities management and the efficient use of corporate real estate.
By using Hitachi’s Internet of Things (IoT) platform Lumada, the companies are focused on developing new solutions around real estate services. Lumada is designed to drive digital business transformation through the integration of various kinds of devices, machines and systems in a wide range of business fields. It uses advanced data analytics to gain insights into how a business can be made more efficient.
Jordi Martin, CEO, Corporate Solutions, JLL Asia Pacific says: “It’s an opportunity to gather and analyse data to better understand how companies use their real estate. Our goal is to come up with creative solutions that will help to deliver smarter, more sustainable and productive workplaces for our clients in Asia Pacific.”
Keizou Kobayashi, CEO of the Urban Solutions Business Unit, VP and Executive Officer, Hitachi, says: “JLL has profound specialisation and knowledge, with which it has globally expanded its business. Beginning with cooperative consideration with JLL and with proofs of concept, Hitachi will make efforts to contribute to the sophistication and streamlining of the services that JLL provides for their clients in the Asia Pacific region.”
Ichiro Iino, Chairman of Hitachi Asia says: “Southeast Asia’s economic growth has resulted in an increase in urban development projects. To meet the demands of this market, Hitachi Asia is expanding its Social Innovation Business, particularly in urban-related fields. Singapore, where Hitachi Asia is headquartered, provides an ideal environment for developing new technologies and solutions, making it a suitable location for this study. By utilising the findings that we gain from this, we believe that we can contribute to improving the efficiency of the real estate services provided by JLL in the region.”
Going forward, JLL, Hitachi, and Hitachi Asia will continue to consider ways to improve the general real estate services that JLL provides for its customers in the Asia Pacific region and to further expand their business globally.
Hitachi has been focusing on its social innovation business, which seeks to solve social issues by merging cutting-edge IT and social infrastructure technology. Hitachi established the Urban Solutions Business Unit in April, 2016 to enhance these efforts in the field of urban solutions, one of the fields on which they are currently focused.
