Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions participated in Pwn2Own Miami 2022, where ethical hackers tested the security of industrial software platforms—including GENESIS64. This blog shares what we learned from the Pwn2Own Challenge, what vulnerabilities were discovered, and how we’re addressing them. It also outlines key takeaways for customers looking to strengthen the security of their deployed systems.

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.

This blog explores how the rise of micro cloud apps is reshaping the industrial software landscape—especially for small and mid-sized companies—by comparing it to the evolution of mobile gaming. It contrasts traditional SCADA platforms with emerging single-use cloud apps, highlighting trends in time-to-value, cloud adoption, and accessibility, and shares how Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions is adapting to serve this expanding market segment.

La maggior parte delle aziende deve affrontare un problema comune e molto importante: come connettere tutti i loro asset a tutto il loro hardware con diversi fornitori per stabilire la comunicazione tra di loro. Inoltre, le organizzazioni si chiedono come possano eventualmente normalizzare i dati provenienti da differenti dispositivi. Ma non preoccupatevi. E' possibile. Una volta che le aziende acquisiscono i dati, possono essere utilizzati sia localmente che nelle applicazioni IoT tramite una connessione cloud, quindi sfruttati e trasformati in informazioni, il tutto allo scopo di migliorare l'efficienza e la sostenibilità. Dopotutto, questa è la trasformazione digitale. A tal fine, deve esistere una soluzione di connettività che dia alle aziende la possibilità di comunicare con tutti i dispositivi esistenti, stabilendo così interoperabilità e comunicazione affidabile Questa connettività è realizzabile con una soluzione leader, il Takebishi DeviceXPlorer OPC Server.
