Hitachi, Ltd. and Hitachi Building Systems, Co., Ltd. have jointly developed a new model of BuilMirai building IoT solution for small and medium-sized buildings. The solutions are included in the Lumada, i.e., Hitachi’s advanced digital solutions and services for turning data into insights, which drive the digital transformation of social infrastructure, improve building management efficiency, maintain and improve operational quality, and enhance user comfort. By launching the solutions, Hitachi and Hitachi Building Systems strengthen their green & smart building business.

The solutions are a package of solutions required by small and medium-sized buildings based on the technology, experience, and know-how that Hitachi has accumulated through the development and provision of BuilMirai for large buildings. Hitachi Building Systems will provide the solutions as a service.

As a first step, from November 2024, Hitachi Building Systems will begin offering three solutions, all available via smartphones, to pass through security points at apartments, monitor building facilities for malfunctions, and monitor security camera imagery. The company will offer the solutions via monthly subscriptions that customers can select as needed, reducing their investment burden and supporting the GX and DX of small and medium-sized buildings.
