Conversations about efficiency gains with customers typically center around the customer hoping for manufacturing gains/efficiency. They're not quite sure what it is they need, but they do know they need to improve efficiency, quality, performance, and uptime. These gains can be realized through Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to provide a clear understanding of the difference between the quantity of sellable product an asset could make versus the actual amount of product that asset made. OEE is a top-level measurement of efficiency, and it breaks down into three separate buckets: availability, performance, and quality. An additional bucket to be considered in determining OEE is loss deployment. At the end the right team and approach can provide the manufacturing gains companies are looking for. 

As SCADA technology continues to evolve, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by new features and updates. But with the right guidance, users can quickly become confident power users. In this blog, we highlight key takeaways from the “Learn from the SCADA Experts & Become a Power User” webcast—covering high-performance HMI design principles, responsive UI strategies, and practical rules of thumb. Whether you're designing your first interface or optimizing an existing system, this post breaks down what it takes to create user-friendly, effective SCADA applications that enhance performance, not hinder it.

Discover how to protect your industrial systems from modern cyber threats using advanced cybersecurity practices, secure remote connectivity, and Moving Target Defense—especially vital as operations embrace digitalization.

Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District approached Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions in search of a new SCADA system—one that could not only modernize their legacy platform but also offer the flexibility and scalability to meet their growing operational needs and optimize performance.

Mitsubishi Electric, including Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, along with CLPA and the e-F@ctory Alliance, are proactively building the foundation to provide end users with a total integrated solution for digital transformation. Over the years, I’ve encountered many different types of automation requirements from end users, leading me to ask, “What do end users really want automation to do for them?”

In our industry, two of the most used acronyms are HMI and SCADA. In this post, we define Human Machine Interface and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and explain how the two components not only fit into our industrial automation projects but also improve our business and reduce our operating costs. 

In a recently published E-Book co-developed with Microsoft, we explore how IoTWorX from Mitsubishi Electric takes the guesswork out of implementing IoT applications. IoTWorX offers a simple, cost-effective way for organizations to connect operational data to the cloud—combining powerful monitoring, analytics, and mobile capabilities with the scalability of Microsoft Azure. Users can easily deploy standard automation and digitalization applications such as GENESIS64, Hyper Historian, AnalytiX, and more in the cloud environment.

A Customer with Advanced Applications for Aliasing in GraphWorX64 - We had this question come in recently and I wanted to highlight it, as it makes for an interesting solution that demonstrates some key functionality in GraphWorX64, the rich HMI and SCADA data visualization tool from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions. Specifically, the question is this...
