A global study by Telstra and Omdia found that 80% of manufacturing firms experienced a significant increase in security incidents or breaches last year, while only 45% are adequately prepared in their cyber security posture. This trend highlights the growing vulnerability of production environments as they become more connected and digitised.

Mitsubishi Electric has launched its latest FR-D800 series inverters, designed to deliver better performance, easy operation, and improved energy efficiency for a wide range of industrial applications. Compact and intuitive, the new series delivers powerful performance alongside features designed to make selection, installation, and operation simpler.

Imagine being able to test a complete production line 100 times, identify every potential bottleneck, and optimise all workflows without installing a single piece of physical equipment. This isn't science fiction - it's a reality that's transforming manufacturing across Europe. Forward-thinking enterprises are already eliminating costly trial-and-error cycles and dramatically reducing time-to-market for new production systems. How? Through the power of digital twin technology - a virtual revolution that's quietly reshaping industrial processes.

The global manufacturing landscape is increasingly embracing robotics, as evidenced by a substantial rise in installations worldwide. According to the World Robotics 2024 Report, over 4.28 million robots are now operating in factories, marking a 10% increase, with annual installations surpassing half a million units for the third consecutive year.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced the launch of the MX Controller series, expanding its MELSEC product line with advanced technology that specifically addresses high-precision motion synchronisation, cybersecurity and integrated control challenges faced by modern manufacturers in their digital transformation journey.
