Fabrik Automation opens new factory in India
15.06.2024 | Mitsubishi Electric has Talegaon, Maharashtra, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for factory automation components. The investment of INR 2,2 billion (approx. EUR 24,5 million) underlines the importance of India as a growing market for automation technology. The new facility will produce frequency converter and other automation products to meet the increasing demand both locally and internationally.
Mitsubishi Electric has been active in the Indian automation components market since the 1990s. By acquiring a local manufacturer in 2012, the company was able to further expand its expertise in the areas of service, support and technology on site. Since 2013 The production of automation products takes place directly in India.
The new plant, with an area of 15.400 m², will expand Mitsubishi Electric's production capacity to meet the increasing demand for automation products. At the same time, the company will support the Make in India Initiative of the Indian government, which aims to strengthen local manufacturing.
The new factory was built with the aim of Carbon neutrality By using energy-efficient air conditioning and LED lighting, the CO2emissions reduced. In addition, wastewater is treated and reused using underground filtration, which makes an important contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Factory automation for a sustainable future
06.12.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | Mitsubishi Electric wants to with its new global campaign highlight the importance of sustainable and future-oriented production methods. The aim is also to raise awareness among people who are not directly involved with factory automation, because many products in our daily lives are produced industrially.
Three different motifs illustrate the importance of one sustainable productionto ensure a future worth living for the next generations. The recurring motifs of the girl in the red dress and the robot arm underline that automation serves to support and help people in achieving their goals. V
1. Customer focus
Under the motif Let's manufacture what matters to you The example of a rocket illustrates how the development, production and logistics of products should be tailored to individual needs in the future.
2. Digitization
The second motif Digitally multiplying the potential of manufacturing. focuses on the ways digital technologies will drive modern manufacturing in the future. Meaning “The digital maximization of manufacturing potential,” it explains how digital technologies and the use of data free manufacturing from previous limitations. Higher productivity and quality while reducing rejects should reduce waste and defects.
3. Sustainability
In the motif sustainable production it is about sustainable production that can contribute to a sustainable world. Efficiency not only makes economic sense, but also reduces the burden on the environment.
All three topics aim to make the topic of factory automation more tangible for society.
Innovation center for Mechatronics CNC opened
03.07.2023 | Artificial intelligence and the digital transformation are two exemplary instruments that can provide valuable solutions to reduce production costs and increase automation, but are still in the starting blocks.
