Grow your business

Increasing your revenue with better machines

As an OEM or machine builder, we know the success of your business depends on the ability to meet diverse customer requirements. But itโ€™s not just technical knowledge thatโ€™s important for this process โ€“ itโ€™s also your financial position.

You need to know that every build can be completed on time and within budget, making the best use of selected components. This is how you maintain your reputation and have a successful business.

Performance, simplicity and scalability with a proven track record for growth. This is what Mitsubishi Electric provides as a trusted partner to your business.

Letโ€™s grow your business together.

You need access to the best components and technical support to build better machines. But thatโ€™s only possible when youโ€™re able to invest using the proceeds of strong, consistent revenue.

Machine development is rarely straightforward โ€“ especially in todayโ€™s market โ€“ but that doesnโ€™t mean the build needs to be lengthy or complex. As a trusted partner, weโ€™re focussed on delivering the best possible solution whilst always keeping an eye on the bottom line.

Our approach is firmly collaborative because we know this is the best way to balance your margin with customer demands. But what does that look like in practice?

We offer theoretical and skilled-based training with curated learning pathways based on the delegateโ€™s skill levels.โ€‹

Improving automation

Full automation is transformative for your customers. But we recognise there are several hurdles to negotiate before it can be achieved.

Components bring automation to life but itโ€™s not just a technical question. Itโ€™s about choosing the most appropriate technology at the right time.

For instance, moving to an ethernet-based architecture can speed up build times, improve machine performance and data availability. However, itโ€™s about knowing when to do this and why.

Decreasing time to market

Time is money and any time spent in development must count if youโ€™re going to build an effective and profitable machine.

This is why Mitsubishi Electric is focussed on minimising build times.

We do this in several ways โ€“ from ease of product selection and common architecture through to 3D digital twin machine simulation and design. And with our international supply chain, weโ€™re able to deliver components to you when needed, supporting your team as they are integrated.

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.

Find out how using the 3D Simulator MELSOFT Gemini can reduce your machine design and start-up time.

The introduction of the 3D Simulator MELSOFT Gemini allows machine-less preliminary verification of motion anomalies, mechanical interference, and cycle times that can not be noticed by programming alone, and thus greatly reduces the need for on-site rework during start-up.

The company has succeeded in shortening the design and start-up period by about 15% compared with the conventional method, and production can be started quickly.

Our FA Integrated Selection tool is designed to help you to select the correct components to match your machine requirements.

Developing business leads

Our international standing allows us to leverage relationships in key vertical markets. Our trusted consultant role allows us to influence key decision makers, which in turn can direct business to our OEM and machine builder community.

Our world-wide team of engineers supports you throughout a machineโ€™s entire lifecycle โ€“ from design and build through commissioning to operation and maintenance.

Added Value Development

We know the true value of data โ€“ and the first step is always to have the right data available in the right place - securely.

โ€‹Making additional services available that add real value to your customer is essential, and we can make that happen. โ€‹Whether itโ€™s performance metrics, energy statistics, or maintenance data - being able to clearly visualise machine information is key.โ€‹

As an example, using a cloud based machine monitoring solution gives value to both machine builders and end users alike. The end user, as well as having machine data at their fingertips, can gain benefit from the machine builder being able to remotely monitor all of the machines on site, ensuring maximum machine uptime by being able to effectively predict machine issues and program in suitable service activities.

โ€‹The machine builder can secure potential additional revenue in offering these added value services to their end user community.

โ€‹We make it easy to bring data to life.

Whitepaper - Data Driven Machines

Designing and manufacturing machines that exploit the potential of digitalisation can be a major challenge โ€“ learn how we can help.

Industry has been evolving continually since its inception. The constant changes are intended to make factories produce more, more cheaper and better. Such are the expectations of the market.

This increase in productivity was to be served successively by the introduction of steam engines, electric propulsion, and the automation of production. In the 1960s, industry obtained two powerful tools: robotics and industrial automation. For years, these were essential tools in building competitive advantages.
