Along with this, our support pavilion showcases ConSite, the Training Simulator, the FMC Pavilion, attachments (Rock Breaker), spares support counter and the new Hammer-less tooth points designed and developed by Hitachi for the Ultra Large Class of excavators”.

This is part of our inclusive approach for sustainable development in core sectors”, he noted.
A pioneer in introducing the latest technology for hydraulic excavators, Tata Hitachi has migrated its products to incorporate features like online access to location of equipment, online health monitoring system, automatic sensors and alarms for machine health, maintenance, electrical excavators, AC drive rigid dump trucks, etc. In addition to this, the organization has introduced ‘ConSite’ – an IT enabled tool through which machine reports are transmitted to the customers’ e-mail, thereby helping them make their operations smart and efficient.
Mr. Shin Nakajima, Director – Sales, Marketing and CSD, observed: “Tata Hitachi is committed to skill development to improve employability and social upliftment. The India opportunity presents a large volume of development pending to be addressed in infrastructure and mining. High performance equipment supplied to the market demands a bank of trained operators, mechanics, service personnel and project managers. To meet this challenge, we have set up Skill Development Centers and Operator Training Schools at Kharagpur and Dharwad.”
