SCADA platforms operate as long-term operational infrastructure, often remaining in place for decades. Because architectural decisions compound over time, investing in high-quality SCADA from the outset reduces lifecycle cost, cybersecurity risk, and operational fragility. Durable platform design ensures scalability, governance, and sustained automation value.

Confused by automation software terms? This glossary breaks down the key concepts behind SCADA, BAS, FMS, EMS, MES, and DCIM explaining what they really mean and why they matter. Learn how mature, secure, and extensible platforms like GENESIS by Mitsubishi Electric drive smarter, scalable operations.

Discover five common facility management challenges including siloed systems, bad data, alarm floods, cybersecurity gaps, and scalability limits, and learn how the GENESIS Building Operating System (BOS) unifies operations, ensures data integrity, and strengthens reliability for smarter, more resilient buildings.

Universal industrial automation software represents a new era of connected, configurable, and scalable technology that unifies systems across industries. This blog explains how it simplifies complexity, accelerates digital transformation, and how GENESIS from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions brings this vision to life.

SCADA communication protocols are the foundation of industrial digitalization, enabling assets, systems, and applications to connect seamlessly. Explore key protocols by industry, discover how integrations expand connectivity, and see how GENESIS delivers reliable, future-ready interoperability.

Legacy HMI/SCADA systems are reaching end-of-life, making full replacement more valuable than incremental upgrades. This blog outlines a comprehensive checklist to guide your transition to a future-ready SCADA platform with modern security, scalability, and performance.

This practical guide explains how to properly size and scale GENESIS version 11 for your SCADA and digitalization projects. Learn what a node is, when to move from a single-tier to a multi-node or multi-tier architecture, and how factors like tag count, scan rate, and system load affect performance. Whether you’re building a small system or scaling enterprise-wide, this guide helps you align your architecture, licensing, and goals for long-term success.
