Their variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems are widely used in commercial and residential buildings, allowing precise temperature control and optimized energy use.
Semiconductors and Devices
In the semiconductor space, Mitsubishi Electric manufactures high-performance power devices, including insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and diodes, which are critical components in power electronics systems such as inverters and electric vehicle (EV) powertrains.
Transportation Systems
Mitsubishi Electric is a key player in the transportation industry, supplying advanced control systems for railways, elevators, and escalators. Their train control systems enhance operational safety and efficiency, while their elevator solutions are designed for high-speed, energy-efficient operation.
High-speed precision of open and closed loop control for machines and systems – at an attractive price. B&R eliminates this seeming contradiction with the high degree of scalability of their control systems. This makes it possible for B&R to cover all requirements with a single platform – from the smallest controllers all the way up to CNC, robotics and process control applications. What’s more, this platform can be programmed and configured – regardless of the hardware being used – with Automation Studio. This compatibility reduces development costs while at the same time protecting investments made throughout the entire life cycle of the machine.
