Mitsubishi Electric Develops Manufacturing Technology for Virtual Validation
Decreasing on-site adjustment time up to 75 percent
The company has created a next-generation manufacturing
technology that virtualizes and simulates the motion ofproducts and sensor data in FA controllers, making thestartup and replacement of assembly lines more efficient andreducing on-site adjustment time up to 75 percent. It enables
operators to generate errors such as temporary line stops in a
virtual environment for the FA controller and then adjust
actual line operations accordingly.

Mitsubishi Electric Develops Compact AI
Embedded systems applications in vehicles, robots and more

The company announced today it has developed asmall-memory, compact AI that can be easily implemented
on vehicle equipment, industrial robots and other machines
by reducing the computational costs for inference, which is aprocess including identification, recognition and prediction to
anticipate unknown facts based on known facts. This will
enable a low-cost AI system that can perform high-level,high-speed inference in a highly-secured environment. The
compact AI is expected to be implemented in products soldcommercially from around 2017.

Mitsubishi Electric Develops Online Performance-diagnostic Technology for Storage-battery
Systems
Contributes to more efficient and wide-ranging use of battery systems
The company announced today a new online, real-time
diagnostic technology that enables users to estimate theperformance of storage-battery systems. Battery-charge
levels can be confirmed remotely to within an accuracy of
one percent or better. Degradation levels of battery capacity
and resistance can be monitored without suspending battery
operation, contributing to more efficient and wide-ranging
uses of battery systems. Mitsubishi Electric aims to apply thetechnology in battery systems for electric and hybrid cars,
trains and large-scale wind and solar power-generation
plants.
