The widespread use of the Internet and cellular phones and the growing popularity of mobile terminals have made information easier to access anytime, anywhere. The development of such technology has largely reshaped corporate business models and personal lifestyles. Today, individuals, corporations, and the rest of society benefit from the progress of information and communication technology.

As we face the coming of a society in which information is ubiquitous, and thus so easily accessible, differentiating the products and systems of one company from those of another is becoming increasingly challenging to manufacturers, and the use of advanced engineering is required for doing so. To respond to "the challenge of innovations in MONOZUKURI", Hitachi Information & Communication Engineering, Ltd. has been developing the business concept of "ICT@ET MONOZUKURI" by integrating ICT and ET with its products, systems, and services.
