Case Study: Hitachi Rail enhances factory safety and innovation with GlobalLogic’s private 5G network

Hitachi Rail powers its 307,000 sq. ft. Digital Factory with GlobalLogic and private 5G

Hitachi Rail needed a secure, high-performance private wireless backbone to support its advanced digital railcar factory in Maryland. The challenge was to ensure flawless operation for mission-critical applications like real-time digital twins and quality inspection platforms. GlobalLogic, a Hitachi Group company, addressed this by designing and deploying a state-of-the-art private 5G network using Ericsson Private 5G.

GlobalLogic provided end-to-end support, from technical consulting to deployment and lifecycle management of the private 5G network. The solution enabled real-time data capture and analysis, powering innovations like a robotic dog that conducts automatic visual quality inspections. This enhanced product quality, drove operational excellence, and helped protect the workforce, establishing a high-performing infrastructure for the factory's future evolution.
