Digital transformation is the process, many call it a journey, of incorporating digital solutions, strategies, and advanced technologies into traditional industrial factories/processes to bring about smart industrial factories/processes with greatly improved operations, productivity and work efficiency. It's a game changer for achieving operational optimization and improving your business model - which is why it’s crucial to assess where you are in this journey and to have the best plan in place.  

V titulu článku je použito slovo “tajemství”. Jestli víte něco o společnosti ICONICS nebo Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MELCO), tak není tajemstvím, že je spojuje skvělá spolupráce. Ta začala v roce 2000, kdy tyto dvě společnosti uzavřely dohodu OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), která položila základ společnosti MELCO k akvizici společnosti ICONICS v roce 2019. Proč tedy tyto společnosti tak dobře spolupracují? Důvody vám budou zřejmé hned co se dozvíte něco blíže.

Vzhledem k dnešnímu klimatu možných narušení kybernetické bezpečnosti je pochopitelné, že všichni uživatelé průmyslových řídících systémů jsou extrémně znepokojeni bezpečností a zabezpečením jejich automatizačního softwaru a systémů. Kterýkoliv automatizační software má hodnotu soli a musí mít zabezpečení a bezpečnost jako nedílnou součást svého návrhu a vývoje a ICONICS v této oblasti nadále investuje a je proaktivní. 

OPC is an extensively used interoperability standard for industrial automation that allows different automation systems to communicate and consequently has become a common denominator across HMI/SCADA solutions. As an influential adopter and major supporter of OPC technology, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions chose the most open technological path and therefore leverages OPC for both external connectivity and data access within its own products and whilch provides the most open and flexible architectures to its customes. To expand upon this advantage, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions partnered with the Takebishi Corporation to deliver their DeviceXPlorer OPC Server to the world. 

Key takeaways for achieving improved power management for data centers include: Match customers’ data storage needs with facility location and connectivity requirements; Use sustainable energy where possible; Upgrade to smaller and better designed equipment.; Look at total power consumption to measure facility efficiency.; and Leverage automation software to monitor and optimize operational efficiency. 

The partnership between Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) is a beautiful “union” of all the elements of a strong, solid business partnership, and that’s why it works so well. The IUOE needed a building automation software solution to both efficiently operate and manage its ITEC facility and to be utilized as a training tool for its members, and partnered with us to achieve this purpose. Our partners are integral to its business strategy and success, and its partnership with IUOE exemplifies this.

The ICONICS Institute includes hundreds of “how-to” videos designed to educate system integrators, customers, and end users. It provides visibility into the training and documentation resources available, helping users better understand our software through interactive learning. These videos bridge the knowledge gap for those who may not fully realize the powerful capabilities our software offers.

Companies can feasibly and economically monitor their remote assets and use the data captured from these assets to optimize operations by using an edge to cloud IoT solution like IoTWorX from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions. IoTWorX delivers substantial benefits from IoT gateway management, data visualization through onsite user defined dashboards, local alarm management, to connection to the local gateway with any type of mobile device or web browser with network access to securely published data through Microsoft IoT Hub. And IoTWorX is for any sized company, not just for the large and established.
