Real-time control application

  • MELIPC MI5000

One module realizes device control and information processing which were previously managed with a combination of computer and dedicated device for example. Equipped with real-time OS VxWorks®, the MELIPC realizes real-time control which cannot be achieved with general industrial computers, contributing to high-accuracy device control and information processing at high speed.

Edge computing application

  • MELIPC MI5000/MI3000/MI2000
  • MELSOFT MaiLab

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 by using a combination of factory automation and IT technologies.

Real-time utilization of production data and coordination with IT system are necessary to realize
e-F@ctory. “Edge computing” enabling information processing between the shop floor and IT system is required.

Real-time utilization of production data and coordination with IT system are necessary to realize e-F@ctory. “Edge computing” enabling information processing between the shop floor and IT system is required.

Utilization of open software platform “Edgecross*2” which realizes FA-IT coordination in the edge computing level enhances Edge computing and e-F@ctory.
