In recent years, there has been growing demand for higher output from production equipment at plants while the devices constituting the equipment have become more diverse. This has increased both the functionality and complexity of the equipment. To boost the operating rates under such circumstances, maintenance is needed that can identify the causes of equipment irregularities more quickly and reduce the downtime.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has proposed a total maintenance solution that supports maintenance operations from all aspects and has developed a system recorder under the MELSEC iQ-R Series, Mitsubishi Electric’s programmable controller, as a solution to support corrective maintenance among the maintenance operations.
