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.

Choosing the right data storage in industrial automation impacts performance and uptime. This blog compares process historians, time-series databases, and relational databases—highlighting reliability, performance, and data lifecycle differences. Learn why GENESIS includes an integrated process historian for confident scaling and streamlined operations.

Kyle transformed from obese to fit by tracking his health metrics, proving that measurement drives improvement. Understanding the critical role of data, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (MEIDS) made a bold move to embed an unlimited process historian into GENESIS version 11. Now our customers can deploy more intelligent data-centric solutions with the full unlimited power of an industrial grade historian, driving operational optimization through true data-driven decision-making. 

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (MEIDS) turns it up to 11 with version 11 to go above and beyond what automation software is today. Customers get unparalleled value with GENESIS version 11’s advanced visualization, data-centric design, extensibility, connectivity, rapid deployment, and so much more. And version 11 is built on a history of quality and scalability – just like a mix of 5 new indie bands and the greatest rock bands of all time, keeping it modern, creating hits every year, continuing to take the stage, and taking things up to 11.

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (MEIDS) boldly takes its latest version of GENESIS – version 11 – where no automation software has gone before. With version 11, MEIDS bravely sets a new standard for SCADA software. Organizations will be able to deploy a diverse array of digitalization project solutions quickly and efficiently. Whether it is enterprise-wide intelligent control systems and data historization, situational/operational awareness and notification platforms, or enterprise analytics, the GENESIS suite makes it all possible.
