Hitachi makes heavy equipment and this may be graphical control units,

the screens it would be hard to figure out. Also are there any other
cabinet or building sized Hitachi equipment in the vicinity? Maybe
crushers, or processing lines with lots of Hitachi boxes in use.
This sort of console might be around that, since the Redditer stated it
was a Mining company. As chuck points out they are into a lot.
Can anyone help idenitfy these?

In spite of the floppy drives, I don't think these are general-purpose
boxes. The thing that strikes me, given the displays is that they
might be graphics workstations of some sort. There's just too much
there for a simple floppy-based computer.
The problem is that Hitachi is a huge outfit with tendrils in all
sorts of industrial areas.
