Increasing productivity

Manufacturing companies today face the challenge of increasing their productivity in order to remain competitive and meet the growing demands of the market. To achieve this, they must:

• maximize production efficiency,
• optimize the use of resources,
• continuously improve processes,
• strategically adapt technologies and workflows and
• increase throughput.

The digitalization of manufacturing plays a key role in this context. It enables precise planning and the seamless integration of automation and real time data. This allows companies to optimize operations, avoid bottlenecks and ultimately increase productivity.

This is where Mitsubishi Electric’s solutions come into play. They help companies increase productivity, improve throughput and optimize their production processes.

The SMKL method provides a comprehensive analysis of a company’s ongoing processes in order to identify weaknesses and implement targeted improvement measures. By systematically examining the current situation at different levels, SMKL helps optimize processes and thereby increase productivity.

By reviewing what can be improved at each stage, the method ensures:

• higher quality of the produced goods
• less scrap and a lower error rate
• reduced material consumption through optimized processes

MELSOFT MaiLab provides a powerful solution for real-time data analysis. This software has been specifically designed to optimize and support human decision-making through the application of statistical methods and AI algorithms. It replaces traditional intuition in the decision-making process with precise, data-driven calculations.

MELSOFT VIXIO uses intelligent machine vision and cameras combined with artificial intelligence to automate defect detection in production. This technology makes production processes more efficient and increases overall productivity.

Here are the key functions that directly improve productivity:

✔ Automated defect detection: AI algorithms analyze visual data in real time and detect even the smallest defects. This reduces the need for manual inspections, speeds up quality control and increases production speed.

✔ Reduction of scrap and rework: Through precise defect identification and automatic sorting, faulty products are removed early in the process. This not only saves resources but also reduces production costs and optimizes the entire production line.

✔ Easy implementation: The user-friendly software can be quickly integrated into existing systems without requiring programming knowledge. This enables rapid scaling and adaptation, allowing companies to utilize their production capacities faster and more efficiently.

MELSOFT VIXIO provides an efficient solution for various industries and production environments. Through easy integration with existing camera systems, the software can be quickly adapted to specific requirements.

The AI-supported machine vision optimizes defect detection, reduces scrap costs, and ensures consistently high product quality – directly leading to increased productivity and stronger competitiveness.

Using robots instead of manual labor offers significant advantages for productivity in manufacturing. Robots work faster, more precisely, and with fewer errors, leading to a significant increase in efficiency.

Mitsubishi Electric offers a wide range of robots that can be selected depending on the specific application and the company’s requirements:

• SCARA robots (payload up to 20 kg)
• Articulated arm robots (payload up to 80 kg)
• Collaborative robots (payload up to 5 kg) 
• ESD-certified robots
• Cleanroom robots also available as standard

A key advantage is the uniform operation: all robots use the same controller and the same software, which simplifies operation and training.

• 24/7 operation possible
• Faster production and higher output
• Reduced errors and consistent product quality
• Easy adaptation to different production requirements

By using these robots, not only is production speed increased, but product quality also remains consistently high. The flexibility to operate around the clock and optimize processes efficiently leads to a significant increase in productivity.
