The leading-edge technology collects all relevant data across devices to reduce cost, optimize operation, extend life expectancy, and enhance performance Zurich, February 22, 2023 – Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader advancing a sustainable energy future for all, launches today the next-generation TXpert Hub, a part of its ecosystem for transformers' digitalization. The TXpert Hub enables monitoring by aggregating, storing, and analyzing the information received from the transformer's digital sensors. It is built on the solid foundation of Hitachi Energy's journey of pioneering innovation in this field for more than 30 years and is conceived to simplify digitalization for any transformer with enhanced connectivity and cybersecurity. "Electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system driven by the energy transition, making the power grid a complex system of systems. Digitalization is the only way to manage that complexity to deliver the necessary visibility and agility to enable fast data-driven decisionmaking," said Bruno Melles, Managing Director of the Transformers Business at Hitachi Energy. "Digitalization is becoming crucial to transformers due to their pivotal role in enabling efficient, reliable and safe electricity networks, managing power quality and flow control to fit the needs of today and tomorrow." Next generation TXpert Hub: Digitalization for every transformer The next generation TXpert Hub, powered by the latest CoreTec technology, has been built from the ground up to ease transformer digitalization, focusing on: - Incorporating the operative experience from users of earlier versions of the system - The application of the latest technologies in communications and cyber security - Readiness for off-the-shelf retrofits TXpert upgrades and enhances the transformers to connect and integrate all the relevant data across many devices to deliver tangible impact and to make digital real. It makes the digitalization of transformers easier, more effective, and secure. Whatever the type of transformer it may be – old, new, dry, or liquid-filled, transmission or distribution – the TXpert ecosystem would be applicable to it. With its solid grounding built on the knowledge and intelligence of manufacturing and servicing thousands of transformers, the TXpert ecosystem delivers actionable, data-driven insights with a real impact on reducing costs, optimizing operations, extending life expectancy, thereby further enhancing its environmental performance. - End – Editor's Notes About the TXpert Ecosystem for transformers' digitalization TXpert is Hitachi Energy`s open, scalable, manufacturer-agnostic ecosystem for the digitalization of transformers, designed to drive data-driven intelligence and decision-making in the operations and maintenance of transformers. It is a complete suite of products, software, services, and solutions that work together and have the capability to integrate with new and existing digital equipment from other manufacturers. Spanning all types of new or existing transformers – distribution, dry and power transformers – the TXpert Ecosystem includes: • TXpert-Ready digital sensors: Such as temperature, DGA, bushings...etc from an extensive list of proven TXpert Ready third-party sensors • TXpert Hub monitoring system: Powered by CoreTec. The TXpert Hub provides asset level data visualization, acting as a watchdog and interface for all the sensed data • Asset Performance Management software: On Cloud, Edge or Premise Software that uses the data for actionable insights • TXpert advanced services: To have further expert insights and help it act instantaneously TXpert delivers actionable intelligence that increases capital and operational value by optimizing operations, extending life-expectancy, and enhancing environmental performance, reducing risk and cost through predictive maintenance and smart asset management. The actionable intelligence delivered by TXpert supports achieving a quantifiable return on investment through the following: • Optimize: Reduce cost, maximize life, productivity, and uptime. Enabling tools for change management, more efficient operations, or selective overloads • Predict: Enable continued operations, reliability, safety, monitor and quantify risks • Plan: Asset utilization and maintenance management • Prevent: Savings through condition-based maintenance instead of time-based maintenance

Real-time access to data reduces time to insights from weeks to seconds, while improved energy reporting helps save half a million Euros annually in energy costs DREIEICH, Germany and SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 14, 2023 – Hitachi Vantara, the modern infrastructure, data management and digital solutions subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) today announced that Blechwarenfabrik Limburg GmbH (BL), a leading manufacturer of tinplate packaging, has adopted the Lumada DataOps platform*, powered by Pentaho, to achieve standardized, integrated, real-time data analysis for greater sustainability and accelerated production. Previously, the company's reporting involved the use of spreadsheets, which meant it could take as long as two weeks to get updated figures, and every department and subsidiary operated independently. With the DataOps platform, BL was able to establish a centralized, scalable business intelligence architecture to integrate and analyze information from a wide range of systems – including its energy management system – generating more than 700 reports in seconds. This real-time analysis provides increased transparency in terms of process and resource management. Most notably, by combining smarter materials management and continuous energy reporting with anomaly detection, the platform has helped enable BL to minimize waste, reduce energy usage and make their operations more sustainable. "We want to be as sustainable as possible," says Daniel Jung, head of business intelligence at Blechwarenfabrik Limburg GmbH. "That means using the data we already have about materials and outputs to optimize our operations. And by adding sensors, real-time analytics, and automation, we can further accelerate our processes, reduce waste, and facilitate substantially lower energy and resource usage. In fact, we are already expected to reduce our energy costs by half a million Euros per year." it-novum GmbH, a Hitachi Vantara partner, supported BL during the implementation of the project. it-novum provided extensive training for more than 50 key users, who supported their colleagues to roll out the solution more broadly. This allowed BL to implement more analytics capabilities faster to more people. "Data is the single most important asset for organizations as they look to improve their overall operational and sustainability posture," said Maggie Laird, senior vice president of business transformation and sustainability, Hitachi Vantara. "We take a uniquely holistic approach to de-carbonization that brings IT and OT together with green solutions around storage, edge, software, and analytics. We are committed to helping organizations better understand their current data footprint, as well as their carbon footprint, so that they can take action to begin managing data more intelligently to reduce emissions." A Strong Foundation of Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Solutions Recent research has found that becoming more sustainable and socially responsible is a top priority for businesses worldwide. Hitachi Vantara specializes in providing innovative and sustainable solutions that are cost effective, energy efficient, and long lasting. For example, between generations of storage solutions, the company cut carbon emissions between 30% to 40% compared to previous models – including the procurement of raw materials, production, transportation, five years of use and final recycle. Through application modernization and consolidation, Hitachi Vantara helps reduce your infrastructure footprint, in some cases providing up to 50% saving of data center footprint. And given the company's deep domain knowledge in energy, manufacturing, transportation, finance, and mobility, it provides ready to use data-driven sustainability solutions for every enterprise. "Data-driven sustainability means collecting and using data to make decisions that guide measurable and responsible business practices," said Christopher Keller, director of big data analytics and IoT at it-novum. "Whether it's lowering greenhouse-gas emissions, optimizing supply and value chains, or reducing waste, insights from data can power positive change and at the same time build competitive advantage, reduce business costs, and increase profit."
