Automation software provider Wonderware yesterday announced an alliance with Mitsubishi Electric through which it will help Mitsubishi create PLC and MES offerings that are pre-integrated with Wonderware software.

The pact between Wonderware, a unit of Invensys plc, and Mitsubishi's automation division will focus on integrating Wonderware's human-machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software with Mitsubishi's e-F@ctory manufacturing executions systems (MES) and MELSEC PLCs.

The new partners are cooperating on the technical work involved in enabling interoperation among their respective products, said Mark Davidson, Wonderware's vice president of global product marketing. The two companies will also conduct joint marketing efforts to promote the synergies among the products.
