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.

Hitachi makes heavy equipment and this may be graphical control units,
or older style control displays. W/o some clue as to what shows up on
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.

I have an Hitachi pen plotter. Its almost a clone of the small HP Plotters.
I wonder if its related...
