We have the expertise in depth to make sure any conversion is a success.

Training

Mitsubishi Electric has consistently played a leading role in providing professional training in the industrial automation industry.
In addition to the support and learning we provide through our Application Support Engineers, we also offer a schedule of up-to-date training courses from our team of professional engineers.​
We offer theoretical and skilled-based training with curated learning pathways based on the delegate’s skill levels.​

Technical assistance and business support

Mitsubishi Electric’s technical support services are widely recognised for their effectiveness. This is entirely down to the time we take to understand your industry and customers.

We’re not just a supplier. We’re committed to solving problems as a trusted partner, making it easier for you to complete builds to schedule. We know the priority is to save time and money. For instance, we offer free guidance to design and develop machine control systems at your site.

On a more technical level, we also provide powerful coding tools within our engineering software which allow you to program in the language that is right for you, with functions to refine and debug when required. These are just two examples, though our work is best seen through the recommendation of other OEMs and machine builders.

Reducing production and build times

Lean development and build times are key to reducing costs. Our team is highly experienced in this area, with the support of powerful machine design and simulation tools. ​Using our 3D Digital Twin Simulator - MELSOFT Gemini, means control logic can be verified in 3D operation by connecting to engineering tools for programmable controllers and robots, as well as Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation equipment.

​By identifying potential problems in advance, such as mechanical collision and robot motion, the system greatly reduces engineering labour time. Using our iQ Works engineering software suite, you can establish ways to lower costs using consistent, modularised solutions that improve manufacturing efficiency.

​We recognise standardisation is critical in today’s market, which is why we offer solutions such as PLC open-compliant control modules, compliance to the Weihenstephan protocol, and the OMAC PACKML PLC library. This gives you convenient access to industry-recognised motion handling, and packaging machine control.

We offer templates and pre-written function blocks to save your engineers time once a machine has entered development. Mitsubishi Electric can also streamline your automation platform. ​Mitsubishi Electric’s reach means you can manage your supply chain more effectively using a planned delivery model. By working with us, you can avoid long lead times for key components​.

Find out more about MELSOFT Gemini - a 3D simulation software to virtually model machines and manufacturing processes.

Amidst the digital transformation trend, a demand has emerged to speed up the process from product planning to commercialisation, however there are hurdles to this, such as an increase in the labor time required for rework and on-site adjustment due to problems during equipment development and upon launch of lines, and delays in decision-making as it is difficult to visualise the effects of investment.

Mitsubishi Electric dramatically improves this problem with a 3D simulator that can verify line equipment in a digital space. Before launching, we can make "results" visible.

Learn about the benefits of machine data collection using PackML.

Unified monitoring screens and operations ensure easier operation and maintenance across the line. Standardised monitoring screens and operability across different manufacturers realises efficient operation of any machine with a familiar interface in the production line.

PackTags standardises the communication and management processes related to production data such as machine status (normal/error) and workpiece data. Seamless integration of different manufacturers’ machines, reduced startup time and automatic production line start/stop contributes to more efficient troubleshooting.

Optimising machine design and performance

We’re capitalising on breakthroughs in AI at all levels to optimise machine design and operational efficiency. We apply these tools during commissioning and once a machine is built to ensure your customers are satisfied.

Our system recorder is a corrective maintenance solution that “records the entire operating state of the system” when an error occurs, and allows “simple analysis” to significantly reduce machine test and commissioning time​.

This is part of our package of comprehensive maintenance solutions.

MELSEC iQ-R System Recorder Use Case - Reduce machine downtime by quickly identifying the cause of errors.

Record the entire operating status of the system and perform simple analysis. The system recorder is a corrective maintenance solution that "records the entire operating state of the system" when an error occurs, and allows "simple analysis" to significantly reduce downtime.

Whitepaper - Intelligent Control Systems

Discover a new dimension of data analytics with intelligent control systems.

Industrial automation has been a source of competitive advantage in recent decades. The ability to automate manufacturing processes - the gaining momentum since 1970s - has created value-added elements in manufacturing.

The companies that were quickest to embrace the industrial automation solutions have become pillars of modern industry and often, as a consequence, companies with global reach. Among them are many brands that are well known today.
