One way to ensure that the EV industry and its suppliers meet the rocketing demand for electric vehicles is to realize predictive maintenance. As a data-driven strategy that uses real-time insights to predict failures, predictive maintenance optimizes maintenance efforts allowing teams to perform maintenance only when necessary. The industry and its suppliers can achieve predictive maintenance with an A-team combination of Mitsubishi Electric’s AI predictive analytics and its GENESIS automation software. 

“Plug-n-play” no/low code SCADA systems have the necessary functionality and flexibility so that both system integrators and end users can manage and make the most out of these systems. More importantly, no/low code SCADAs benefit end users in many ways including ease of use, rapid development, lower costs, increased agility, and employee empowerment and innovation.

Digital transformation is the process, many call it a journey, of incorporating digital solutions, strategies, and advanced technologies into traditional industrial factories/processes to bring about smart industrial factories/processes with greatly improved operations, productivity and work efficiency. It's a game changer for achieving operational optimization and improving your business model - which is why it’s crucial to assess where you are in this journey and to have the best plan in place.  

This post revisits the journey from ICONICS’ early collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric to its full integration as Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions. It explores the shared values, innovation mindset, and global vision that now drive a unified team focused on industrial automation and digital transformation.

Kyle Reissner, Director, Product Management Engineering at Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, reassures customers and users that the company has invested and will continue to invest and be proactive in the security of its automation software and systems. He explains how our company and our software adheres to the latest security protocols by striving for the foremost industrial security development certifications and describes the company's strategy for phasing out unsupported .NET Core elements in its platform which will increase security even further.

OPC is an extensively used interoperability standard for industrial automation that allows different automation systems to communicate and consequently has become a common denominator across HMI/SCADA solutions. As an influential adopter and major supporter of OPC technology, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions chose the most open technological path and therefore leverages OPC for both external connectivity and data access within its own products and whilch provides the most open and flexible architectures to its customes. To expand upon this advantage, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions partnered with the Takebishi Corporation to deliver their DeviceXPlorer OPC Server to the world. 

Key takeaways for achieving improved power management for data centers include: Match customers’ data storage needs with facility location and connectivity requirements; Use sustainable energy where possible; Upgrade to smaller and better designed equipment.; Look at total power consumption to measure facility efficiency.; and Leverage automation software to monitor and optimize operational efficiency. 

The partnership between Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) is a beautiful “union” of all the elements of a strong, solid business partnership, and that’s why it works so well. The IUOE needed a building automation software solution to both efficiently operate and manage its ITEC facility and to be utilized as a training tool for its members, and partnered with us to achieve this purpose. Our partners are integral to its business strategy and success, and its partnership with IUOE exemplifies this.
