Mitsubishi Electric’s Nagoya Works and Industrial Mechatronics Systems
Works Acquire IEC 62443-4-1 Certification
Now deploying Security Development Lifecycle practices
TOKYO, May 25, 2021 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that its Nagoya
Works and Industrial Mechatronics Systems Works, both engaged in the development and manufacture ofindustrial automation in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, have each obtained a certification under the International
Electrotechnical Commission’s IEC 62443-4-1 standard regarding the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL)of industrial automation and control systems. The two newly certified Works are now deploying SDL practices
to satisfy customer needs for safe and secure solutions for factory automation and industrial-mechatronics
products, such as programmable controllers, industrial PCs, FA sensors, human-machine interfaces, servo
amplifiers, inverters, robots, CNCs, electrical discharge machines, laser processing machines and related
software and services.
In recent years, the increased use of IoT technologies, especially in manufacturing, has also brought increased
cybersecurity risks, which can manifest themselves as unscheduled production stops, loss of confidential
information and even potential cases of injuries to operators and production plant. This certification, awarded
by one of the world's leading third-party inspection agencies, German-based TÜV Rheinland, recognizes that
Mitsubishi Electric’s two facilities comply with international security requirements for entire lifecycles,
including product development, production, and maintenance. Additionally, to help customers confidently
implement their industrial automation initiatives, Mitsubishi Electric is utilizing SDL best-practice in its
integrated e-F@ctory solutions, which combine factory-automation and IT technologies to reduce the total
costs of factory-automation development, production and maintenance.
