What is the next step?

• To reduce your start up costs

• To reduce your energy costs

• To optimize your production

• To increase your quality from the beginning

• To know your costs per part

• To know your energy consumption per part

Mitsubishi Electric believe it is Emulation.

Emulation?

Define your production in 3D and control, manage

and optimize in advance!

Hosted by:


What are the results? • Emulation reduces your start up costs

• Shorten start up time

• Reduce programming errors

• Stable process from beginning

• Emulation can help reducing your energy costs • Find the big energy consumer and management them

• Find out where we have a ROI

• Emulation optimizes your production • Find bottle necks , etc.

• Shorten transportation ways

• Emulation increases production quality from the beginning • Find problems in the process

• Optimize the loops etc.

• Emulation enables you to find costs per part • You have the production time

• All KPI from the process are available

• Emulation knows your energy consumption per part
