Singtel and Hitachi Digital Partner to Accelerate Industrial AI Solutions
Singtel, a leading communications technology group in Asia, and Hitachi Digital, representing Hitachi’s broad end-to-end digital transformation services and technology capabilities, today announced a new collaboration that will pair Hitachi’s deep AI expertise with Singtel’s Paragon platform, the all-in-one orchestration platform for 5G, edge computing and cloud.
Hitachi Digital will deploy Paragon at the Hitachi Americas’ Santa Clara R&D Labs, followed by a pilot in a U.S. factory for Industry 4.0 use cases. The pilot will aim to validate the interoperability of Hitachi AI applications on quality assurance, workplace safety, immersive training and pre-emptive maintenance on Paragon. The trial will also enable the integration of Paragon with Hitachi industry cloud applications and digital services to enable enterprises to transcend the limitations of complex, low-latency connectivity and productivity experiences.
Hitachi’s pre-built Industrial AI applications together with the Paragon platform’s network and multi-cloud orchestration capabilities will be used to create multiple Paragon-related offerings to help clients improve and accelerate their cloud operations. Subsequently, Hitachi Digital Services will go to market with these offerings as a Singtel Paragon authorized System Integrator – presenting a unique value proposition to enterprise customers looking to leverage multiple network protocols in delivering digital transformation in industrial settings.
Mr. Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel’s Digital InfraCo, said, “Enterprises in the fast-growing Industry 4.0 sector depend on high quality, reliable connectivity to ensure smooth operations. We are pleased to collaborate with Hitachi Digital, leveraging Paragon to manage its connectivity and cloud needs across Hitachi’s manufacturing facilities. 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.”
Mr. Frank Antonysamy, Chief Growth Officer, Hitachi Digital, said, “Hitachi has invested heavily in combining decades of digital, data, cloud, AI, cybersecurity, and connectivity expertise to establish transformative solutions for Industry Cloud deployments. Our applications and consulting services in this area have been an integral part of the digitalization movement impacting businesses around the world. 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.”
Organizations have often struggled with industrial 5G deployments because of complex and fragmented solutions. AI has added a new layer of complexity to this equation as organizations now also attempt to accelerate AI adoption in these scenarios. Singtel Paragon is a comprehensive solution that enables them to connect with the 5G network and securely deploy edge computing and AI rapidly on telco infrastructure, thus reducing time-to-market and shortening the innovation curve.
The collaboration between Singtel and Hitachi will bring together interoperable solutions with expert delivery services, which will greatly benefit organizations seeking to address industrial AI complexity.

Building a World-Class Synthetic Biology Lab: Asymchem’s Self-Developed STAR System Empowers Protein Design6.11.2024 17:00:00 CET | Press Release
Asymchem (stock code: 002821.SZ/6821.HK), a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has created an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to address key challenges in protein design. This platform, known as STAR (Sequence Recommendation via Artificial Intelligence), was successfully developed by Asymchem’s Center of Synthetic Biology Technology (CSBT) and AI team. The team published a paper titled “STAR: A Web Server for Assisting Directed Protein Evolution with Machine Learning” in ACS Omega, detailing the system’s ability to integrate multiple machine learning models and sequence encoding methods. One major challenge in protein engineering is the number of mutations that need to be generated and screened. This can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. STAR dramatically accelerates this process. By leveraging machine learning, the platform quickly identifies critical regions for mutation. This reduces the number of experimental samples to just a few hundr
