Hitachi, Ltd. together with Hitachi Lift India Pvt. Ltd. (“Hitachi Lift India”), a provider of elevator sales and services in the Republic of India, and GlobalLogic Inc. (“GlobalLogic”), a U.S.-based Hitachi Group company, announced the launch of the BuilMirai Experience Center at GlobalLogic's India headquarters in Noida.

The facility serves as an innovation and customer engagement hub for the digital service “BuilMirai,” centered on the next-generation solution portfolio “HMAX for Buildings,” which combines extensive installed base data (digitalized assets), Hitachi’s domain knowledge, and advanced AI technologies. The hub will demonstrate how intelligent building technologies can help organizations improve energy efficiency, sustainability, operational visibility, occupant wellbeing, and infrastructure performance through a unified building management platform.

In addition, the hub will support the continuous evolution of BuilMirai by fostering collaboration among engineering teams, customers, partners, and industry stakeholders. GlobalLogic is responsible for the digital engineering of the service, while Hitachi Lift India provides local operational and service capabilities, including elevator systems. Hitachi will leverage the insights and customer needs derived through these efforts to further strengthen BuilMirai's capabilities and accelerate its global deployment.

India is witnessing rapid urbanization and economic growth, driving increasing demand for energy efficiency and smart solutions across commercial facilities, office buildings, and infrastructure. The establishment of this hub aims to address these market needs while expanding Hitachi’s global building solutions business, with India as a strategic hub.

The launch also marks a significant milestone under One Hitachi in accelerating the development and deployment of intelligent, connected building technologies that enhance operational efficiency, sustainability, safety, and occupant experiences. Furthermore, it reinforces Hitachi’s commitment to driving digital innovation through the integration of IT, OT (Operational Technology) and products, helping maximize the value of built environments while contributing to sustainable society and smart infrastructure development.
