Case Study: Hitachi strengthens global supply chain risk forecasting with ClimateAi

Hitachi uses ClimateAi’s 6-month forecasts to strengthen global supply chain risk management

Hitachi, Ltd., a multinational conglomerate, required accurate seasonal weather and extreme event forecasts to build a digital observatory model for assessing supply chain disruption risk across its global supplier network. To meet this challenge, they partnered with ClimateAi and utilized its API service for accessing forecast data.

ClimateAi's solution provided Hitachi with on-demand access to weather and seasonal forecast data at multiple time horizons and spatial resolutions. This enabled Hitachi's R&D team to advance their project and provided critical value to procurement officers. The six-month forecast horizon allows these officers to proactively change stock controls and prioritize short-term contract negotiations with suppliers, directly safeguarding the supply chain against projected weather risks.
