Singtel and Hitachi Digital have are combining Hitachi’s AI expertise with Singtel’s Paragon platform for enterprises seeking to leverage advanced connectivity and AI solutions in industrial settings.
The collaboration will start with Hitachi Digital deploying Paragon at its Santa Clara R&D Labs, followed by a pilot in a US factory. This trial will focus on validating the interoperability of Hitachi’s AI applications for quality assurance, workplace safety, immersive training, and pre-emptive maintenance on Paragon.

Hitachi Digital Services will market these solutions as a Singtel Paragon authorised system integrator for enterprises looking to implement digital transformation in industrial environments.
“Enterprises in the fast-growing Industry 4.0 sector depend on high quality, reliable connectivity to ensure smooth operations. Integrating Hitachi’s advanced AI applications with Paragon’s ecosystem will enhance our suite of solutions for manufacturing enterprises and enable them to seamlessly transform their operations powered by AI,” said Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo.
According to Frank Antonysamy, Chief Growth Officer of Hitachi Digital, Hitachi has invested heavily in combining decades of digital, data, cloud, AI, cybersecurity, and connectivity expertise to establish transformative solutions for industry cloud deployments.
“We anticipate that this partnership with Singtel will enable us to once again increase the capabilities of next gen technologies in enterprise environments, enabling a new level of productivity for customers,” he said.
