Patrick Corcoran leads marketing and external relations at Hitachi Digital Services, and his starting point is that AI is not new here. Machine learning and computer vision have been running inside Hitachi's factories and rail networks for around 25 years. What that bought them is a shorter run-up to the agent wave. HARC Agents is the enterprise framework: pre-built agents, unified observability and centralized control, with 200+ agents already in production and 618 sister companies in a position to test them. The part worth borrowing is where he stops. In the Lisbon rail command center, agents assist and a person still makes the call. Governance, security and observability are treated as the product, not the paperwork.
