Mitsubishi Electric offers a wide range of ready-made solutions for industrial automation, focused on increasing productivity, reducing costs, and integrating with Industry 4.0. The company is a leader in factory automation, with a strong emphasis on intelligent systems, IoT, and edge computing. The core platforms — e-F@ctory and iQ Platform — enable rapid deployment of pre-engineered packages across various industries: from manufacturing to logistics and energy.

e-F@ctory — Integrated Smart Manufacturing Concept

e-F@ctory is the flagship platform for building "smart factories" through seamless integration of FA (factory automation) and IT. It reduces TCO (total cost of ownership), improves efficiency, and ensures flexibility. The system includes three levels: shop floor, IT systems, and edge computing.

• Ready-made packages: Starter Package for PLC data analysis, visualization on GOT (HMI), and real-time equipment monitoring.

• e-F@ctory Alliance: Partnership with over 100 companies delivering fully integrated solutions (e.g., with Oracle for IoT).

iQ Platform — Universal Controller Platform

iQ Platform combines PLCs, motion control, HMI, and networks into a single system, minimizing integration effort. Supports MELSEC iQ-R and iQ-F series.

• iQ Monozukuri ready solutions: Pre-engineered packages for converting, robotics, and predictive maintenance. Reduce development time by weeks.

• iQ Works software suite: Integrated toolkit (GX Works3, MT Works2, GT Works3) for programming PLCs, motion systems, and HMIs.

Advantages

• Fast deployment: Ready-made packages cut implementation time by up to 300%.

• Flexibility: Seamless integration with MODBUS, CC-Link IE TSN, EtherCAT.

• Cost savings: Reduced maintenance expenses and predictive maintenance capabilities.

• Applications: Automotive, food & beverage, logistics, energy sectors.
