FANUC and Hitachi Form Strategic Partnership to Validate Physical AI at Hitachi Factories and Expand to Nine Industries

FANUC and Hitachi announced a strategic partnership on September 30, under which Hitachi will provide AI technology and FANUC will provide industrial robots to jointly validate and commercially deploy Physical AI. In the validation phase, Hitachi's Ibaraki-area factories will serve as Customer Zero, allowing AI to continuously learn on real production lines the shop-floor rules for grasping parts of different shapes and for setup changes during product changeovers. From fiscal 2027, the partners will jointly expand to global customers in nine industries, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and shipbuilding.
