Mitsubishi Electric, which provides added value in terms of rapid integration, productivity, flexibility and efficiency to the smart factories of the Industry 4.0 phase, drew attention with its iQ Automation Platform and advanced robot technologies, which form the basis of the e-F@ctory concept, at the fair held at TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center between October 31 and November 3. A meeting of advanced technology and dynamic engineering Stating that they reflect Mitsubishi Electric's dynamic and innovative stance to the exhibition concepts, Mitsubishi Electric Turkey President Şevket Saraçoğlu said, "As Mitsubishi Electric, we combine our new generation factory automation products with high technology, our advanced robot technologies and CNC solutions, which are candidates to be the right arm of industrialists, with the engineering ability of our company in design, projecting, software and commissioning studies. We owe our dynamic structure in the field of engineering to our investments in research and development. In this way, we offer the highest quality special solutions to our customers and contribute to the sustainable growth of our brand by adapting to the developing digital world." Robotic technologies for rapid production, dosing and packaging solutions Stating that they serve in many sectors such as packaging, food, medicine, automotive, white goods, in which Turkey's leading industrial enterprises take part, Saraçoğlu said, "In the Industry 4.0 process, it is very important for our country's industry to compete strongly in global markets and to increase its export potential. At this point, it is important that the production quality increases day by day and the costs decrease with it. Our robots, which are candidates to be the right arm of industrialists to whom they can safely entrust their work, and which work with precision close to the human arm or hand, provide great convenience at every stage of production. Our robots, which allow for more flexible production, also reduce costs and increase employee comfort. In industries with rapid production, dosing and packaging, we have a large number of robotic solutions. We offer high-tech automation products for every stage of packaging, such as bottling, vertical and horizontal packaging, labeling. We stand out with our packaging solutions that are high precision and high speed, easy to program and use, save costs and provide trouble-free production to factories with all these aspects." Energy use in industry should be reduced without a decrease in production standards Underlining that all of Mitsubishi Electric's products and solutions are developed within the framework of advanced technology, quality and energy saving, Saraçoğlu said, "It is becoming more and more important to use the resources available in the world in the most effective and efficient way. Energy use, especially in industry, needs to be reduced without causing a decline in production and production standards. At this point, we provide high added value to the Turkish industry with our energy efficient, environmentalist, user-friendly and long-lasting factory automation products. Within the framework of our global philosophy "Eco Changes", we have set important targets related to the environment until 2021, the 100th anniversary of our brand. In line with our 2021 targets, Mitsubishi Electric aims to reduce CO₂ emissions from product use by 30 percent compared to fiscal year 2001 and CO₂ emissions from production by 30 percent compared to fiscal year 1991." Mitsubishi Electric stood out with its dynamic and innovative approach at the fair Mitsubishi Electric, which stands out with its dynamic and innovative approach at the 24th Eurasia Packaging Fair held this year; The iQ-F FX5UC spring-loaded terminal introduced the graphic operator panel GOT2000 Wide and servo drive MR-JE-C. Mitsubishi Electric, which also exhibited the iQ Automation Platform, an automation strategy that enables the creation of the digital factory concept e-F@ctory, also attracted attention with its new generation advanced robot technologies that are candidates to be the right arm of industrialists. The brand has also attracted attention from industry professionals with its MAPS (Mitsubishi Electric Adroit Process Suite) technology, MR-J4 series servo drives, FR-A840 series frequency inverter and automatic vibration suppression function kiosks. Platform that gathers automation components under one roof The iQ Automation Platform, which enables the creation of the e-F@ctory concept, which is Mitsubishi Electric's answer to Industry 4.0, is one of the rare product families that combines all important automation components in a single structure. The important advantages of the iQ Platform; minimum TCO (total cost of ownership), full and seamless integration between factory automation management systems, maximum efficiency and high-speed communication. Thanks to this advanced technology, costs are reduced at every stage of the automation cycle and maximum return on investment is achieved. High precision and synchronization in packaging For bottle filling, which requires high precision and speed, both the controller needs to ensure that the liquid is fed into the bottle mouth with high accuracy, as well as precisely controlling the flow rate and head height to eliminate the risk of foaming and liquid overflow. At this point, Mitsubishi Electric's iQ Platform-based motion control CPU provides a great advantage. Fast and accurate labeling is also among the important issues of packaging. Labels that come in a range of sizes; It can be placed in various ways, such as cold and hot glue, flexible film or general wrapping. The control architecture in labeling machines needs to support all these different systems with as little disruption to efficiency as possible. Mitsubishi Electric's iQ Platform makes it possible to meet these requirements easily. The Q motion series allows labels to be placed accurately with high-speed recording functionality. Mitsubishi Electric's Q motion controller easily meets the high precision demands of pillow packaging type machines used in the packaging of many products such as wafers, bread and medicines. The specially designed Q series motion systems offer a highly suitable solution for complex systems with many moving parts. These systems are; it also ensures the high degree of synchronisation required to prevent errors in machine processes such as unboxing, belting and transfer conveyors.
