Machine Building

Make your machines stand out

Gaining competitive advantage with better machines

Automation offers huge advantages for your customers but unlocking its full power can be challenging without the right knowledge, tools and support.

Yet, it’s a challenge worth pursuing because machines can transform your customers’ operations. And that level of service puts you in a much stronger position for long-term growth – especially when you’re able to deliver consistently.

Getting your business to this point is our focus. Whether a simple configuration or fully bespoke solution, we’ll work with your team to build high-performing machines at the right price.

Stand out from the crowd. Partner with Mitsubishi Electric.

Introduction
Case study
Products

With endless components and software solutions available on the market today, it’s difficult to see which are actually able to deliver on their promises.

This makes it critical to partner with a business such as Mitsubishi Electric. We know how to integrate the best hardware, software and services to ensure your machine exceeds expectations every time.

All our work centres around your business and how you can respond to customers’ needs by increasing performance in all areas:

Speed

Our products are specifically created for optimum machine performance

Reliability

Our engineers design with today’s production environments in mind, eliminating the chances of unplanned downtime

Safety

We design with defence in mind, minimising the chances of physical and digital threats

Compliance

Our designs factor in the latest industry standards and requirements, such as EU Directives and other world-wide standards

Maintenance

We build for longevity, optimum performance and return on investment throughout the machine’s lifecycle

Mitsubishi Electric has supported Horizon Instruments in the development of a highly automated well plate filling machine

The solution has boosted operations for a leading provider of immunoassays and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, increasing production yield by 700-800% and is projected to cut waste by half.

Machine control is handled by a MELSEC-L series PLC with a built-in motion module connected to Mitsubishi Electric servo motors and amplifiers. The machine also features other system-matched components, such as a GOT2000 series HMI and an optional MELFA articulated arm robot.

Machine performance

We close the gap between a project brief and the creation of a machine that answers your customers’ most important questions.

Competition is fierce, especially in manufacturing, and there’s a growing need to respond with increasingly sophisticated technology. Mitsubishi Electric is at the cutting-edge of this space, but with the added advantage of knowing how to integrate to achieve the best outcome.

Performance optimisation is one of our biggest strengths, with a full suite of products and services ready to take your machine to the next level. We also have a proven track record of improving overall equipment effectiveness, such as availability, cycle time and accuracy.

This is made possible with our:

Powerful, scalable control architecture – control - tailored to your needs
High-speed and accurate mechatronics – smart servo, inverter drives and robotic solutions
AI tools – machines that learn and improve over time
Data connectivity and visualisation – customisable presentation of key performance and maintenance metrics

All of this is underpinned by our defence in depth approach to cyber security. The integrity of your machine is our priority with cyber threats specifically targetting production environments.

Machine price

Machine building can be costly but it can still be done within budget. It’s just a matter of working with the right partners.

At Mitsubishi Electric, we are committed to flexible pricing models. Working with us, you’ll only pay for what you need and at a competitive price as we scale products to suit your brief. And there are no hidden costs. You’ll only pay one licence cost for engineering software, with all updates free after purchase.

But don’t just take our word for it – what do our customers say…

Machine support and reliability

We’re known for our quality components that deliver consistently from day one. In this sense, our reputation remains unchanged. What is changing, however, is the level of detail and insight we can provide about your machine.

Mitsubishi Electric is a data-driven partner. We can provide innovative maintenance functionality and seamless connectivity to keep your customers’ machines online. And in the rare event an unexpected outage does occur, our remote diagnostic capabilities will soon get production up and running.

Whitepaper - Data Driven Machines

Designing and manufacturing machines that exploit the potential of digitalisation can be a major challenge – learn how we can help.

Industry has been evolving continually since its inception. The constant changes are intended to make factories produce more, more cheaper and better. Such are the expectations of the market.

This increase in productivity was to be served successively by the introduction of steam engines, electric propulsion, and the automation of production. In the 1960s, industry obtained two powerful tools: robotics and industrial automation. For years, these were essential tools in building competitive advantages.
