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 productionin order to ensure a future worth living for future generations. The recurring motifs of the girl in the red dress and the robot arm emphasize that automation serves to support and help people achieve 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.
