GLOBAL IMPACT OF
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC
Through Mitsubishi Electric’s vision, “Changes for the Better“ are possible for a brighter future.
1
Committed to ever higher customer satisfaction
Mitsubishi Electric is a global leader in the research, manufacturing and marketing of electrical and electronic
equipment used in areas such as communications, consumer electronics, industrial technology, energy and
transportation. Within this, the industrial automation business has grown significantly since the first induction motor
was manufactured over 90 years ago and has closely followed the automation industry in Japan, Asia, and beyond.
Mitsubishi Electric industrial automation boasts a wide-range of product areas such as production control, drives, and
mechatronics that are used in various industries. In addition, Mitsubishi Electric offers e-F@ctory and iQ Platform,
leveraging its total industrial automation solution portfolio.

Maximizing productivity and reducing costs
across the entire enterprise
e-F@ctory is the Mitsubishi Electric solution for improving the performance of any manufacturing
enterprise by enhancing productivity, and reducing the maintenance and operations costs
together with seamless information flow throughout the plant. e-F@ctory uses a combination
of factory automation and IT technologies, offering solutions to reduce the total cost of
development, production, and maintenance by supporting advanced Monozukuri*.
e-F@ctory helps to reduce overall costs and is achieved in the following four areas:
* Monozukuri is an initiative started in Japan for promoting its unique manufacturing style for continuous improvement in production processes and operations. The word is derived by combining the words “mono”,
the thing that is manufactured, and “zukuri”, the process of manufacturing
IT system
Reduce energy costs
Energy saving solution
Modern manufacturing depends much on reducing energy costs as a way to
realize an efficient manufacturing enterprise. e-F@ctory supports this by allowing
visualization of real‑time energy usage, helping to reduce the overall energy
consumption.

The MELSEC iQ-R Series process CPU includes dedicated algorithms (such as two-degree-of-freedom
PID, sample PI, and auto-tuning), and supports memory sizes of up to 1200K steps. In addition, when
paired with a redundant function module, a highly reliable (redundant) control system can be realized. The
SIL2 process CPU*2 also realizes a redundant system conforming to IEC 61508 SIL 2 safety standard.
GX Works3 makes programming easier by being able to manage process control, safety and generic
programs together. Transition from existing control systems based on MELSEC-Q Series is simpler by using
the RQ extension base unit. The MELSEC-Q Series also enables loop control (similar to the MELSEC iQ-R
Series), and realizes redundant control by using the redundant CPU (Q12PRH/Q25PRHCPU).
