Latin America. The Panasonic Group announced its AI strategy, aiming to expand its AI-based hardware, software and solutions businesses for the next phase of growth.
Under the theme "The Future We Create", this year's exhibition focused on solutions for AI infrastructure, such as data centers, as well as AI-based B2B solutions and environmental solutions related to the Green Transformation (GX). Some of these solutions are already being implemented in the real world. Through these exhibitions, visitors can observe the steady progress of the Panasonic Group's contributions to creating a better AI-powered future.
In response to the rapid evolution of AI, data centers are dramatically changing their function and scale. To support the massive growth in computational demands, data centers consume more and more electricity, and their stable operation (24/7/365) has become essential as a social infrastructure.
This shift has led to unprecedented complex and difficult challenges, such as stable power supply, response to high heat generation, reliability of uninterrupted operation, and cyberattacks on physical infrastructure.
Panasonic contributes to the stable and uninterrupted operation of data centers by providing comprehensive solutions to these problems. We leverage our technological assets and built-in manufacturing strengths that we have developed over many years as an electronics manufacturer.
The brand is also committed to contributing not only to the components that make up data centers, but also to the evolution of semiconductors themselves, which are the basis of these centers. State-of-the-art technology for semiconductor manufacturing facilities improves the intermediate process and connects the upstream and downstream stages of semiconductor manufacturing. This technology contributes to the creation of advanced energy-saving semiconductors and helps improve the energy efficiency of all data centers.
In addition, in view of the growing number of cyberattacks targeting areas of Operational Technology (OT), such as power control and cooling systems, the Group proposes cybersecurity measures for data centers, taking advantage of the knowledge acquired through the monitoring of its own factories. The Group strives to support the safe operation of critical infrastructures with its patented advanced anomaly detection technology.
In the logistics, retail, and service sectors, day-to-day decision-making is more complex than ever due to labor shortages and fluctuations in demand.
To address these challenges, the Panasonic Group has been developing effective B2B solutions by integrating AI technology with the on-site knowledge that the Group has accumulated over many years.
The goal is to create workplaces where people can work safer, more comfortably, and more securely.
