iQ Automation the Foundation for Mitsubishi Electric’s e-F@ctory Initiative

iQ Automation is capable of transforming any work cell or production line automation environment, comprised of disparate systems and automation vendors, into a common automation solution that leverages a common programming environment for all domains of control.

Manufacturers need to be selective when deciding upon an automation system that manages the workcells, machines, and entire production lines. Machinery has evolved to accomodate more complex functions, placing more burden on the automation systems.

The iQ Automation concept distinguishes itself in the fact that the backplane has been designed with significantly more bandwidth to accommodate a high performance multiprocessor architecture for high speed inter-processor communication.
