SHOWCASE u Mitsubishi Electric
Smart manufacturing solutions
Visit Mitsubishi Electric at Stand Q02 at the National Manufacturing Exhibition this November.
T
his year, Mitsubishi Electric Ireland will showcase its smart manufacturing solutions at the National Manufacturing
Exhibition in the RDS, Dublin on 23-24 November. Other themes on the stand include ‘Manufacturing in the new norm’ where the company will showcase remote working solutions and ‘Innovate Technology’. The company has created a demo cube stand which showcases all of its latest technology, such as MAPS 4, the SCADA solution for control and visualisation, the GOT Rugged HMI, the latest in inverter technology – E800, advanced PLCs and the GOT Drive solution. The demo stand also showcases the TSN (Time sensitive Network) network; CC-Link IE TSN, which is the first to combine gigabit Ethernet bandwidth with Time- Sensitive Networking (TSN). It has increased openness while further strengthening performance and functionality.
SMART MANUFACTURING Mitsubishi Electric has developed a COBOT range that addresses the real world challenges of different applications and sectors. For delicate and precise tasks, for example in pharmaceutical production, MELFA Assista COBOTs offer a repeatability of ±0.03mm. They can easily be combined with vision technology, making them ideal for use in applications covering everything from dosing mixing and counting to dispensing, inspecting and marking medications. Designed to assist human operators on the shop floor, COBOTs can take on simple, repetitive
the desired position and added to the operational sequence at the press of a button. Operators then press a single button on the teaching panel of the arm and the position is added to the robot program. Combining this with an intuitive, touch-enabled, graphical programming tool – RT VisualBox – makes it easier to build sophisticated applications without any programming knowledge. This technology means that no complex
programming is required, and it can also be combined with touch-screen graphical interfaces to implement more sophisticated operations. The MELFA Assista COBOT will be on the Mitsubishi Electric stand at the National manufacturing Exhibition for ‘hands-on’ demonstrations.

and physically strenuous tasks. This offers improved consistency and reliability in manufacturing while enabling humans to concentrate on more complex jobs. A COBOT is also flexible and can quickly learn to adapt to a variety of tasks, from picking and placing to machine tending. A key benefit of COBOTs is their ease of programming, enabling frequent redeployment and fast set-up without advanced robotic programming expertise. One recent development which can improve the ease and speed of configuration is hand-guided teaching, where the MELFA ASSITA COBOT arm from Mitsubishi Electric can be simply moved to

REMOTE SOLUTIONS The GOT Mobile function of the Mitsubishi Electric HMIs allows you to monitor your work from a remote location. The mobile function enables operators to check the equipment status using a web browser on tablets from a remote location. Up to five information devices can simultaneously access a single GOT so that you can view and operate a different screen on each device.
Mitsubishi Electrics GT Works3 screen design
software allows the system designer to easily change screen sizes depending on used devise.

SUPPORTING SMART FACTORIES Also present at the show will be the latest inverter technology from Mitsubishi Electric. The FR-E800 inverter series offers multiple networks and high performance predictive maintenance through AI and built-in corrosive gas alert A highly flexible, compact inverter series with
multiple built-in networks, including TSN (Time Sensitive Networking), the E800 Series was released by Mitsubishi Electric to support the needs of smart factories. Using AI, the FR-E800 reduces downtime with its extended predictive maintenance capabilities featuring the world’s first corrosive gas alert system. The inverters also achieve high performance control of induction and permanent magnet motors to Safety Integrity Level (SIL). In addition, MAPS 4, the SCADA solution for
control and visualisation, extends connectivity options, adds user tools and increases the scope of its built-in functionality. Built on a strong Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the full MAPS 4 process suite delivers flexibility in handling, automating, controlling, verifying and auditing processes. It provides a full life-cycle planning, management and integration platform for applications from manufacturing to infrastructure. There is also a dedicated HMI version for localised control and visualisation tasks.
