By transferring its versatile MAPS SCADA/HMI solution
converting to a secure cloud-based app, offers Mitsubishi Electric potential
the best of both worlds; an advanced and flexible solution that is easy
can be integrated, but is also well supported, stable and safe to use.
A good SCADA solution can do many things for a process
or production company - from displaying simple visualization of the
factory status and production targets to implement the full
lifecycle planning. By moving MAPS to the cloud (this is just
one of the options, local server/PLC and other hosting choices are still
available) offers Mitsubishi Electric, one of the most trusted
automation vendors on the market, a step into true IIoT territory. By
By using the solution they create an option that is available to many
will provide users with an advantage.
Hosting MAPS SCADA in the cloud or privately and using
of the included Internet of Things (IoT) Agent, enables MAPS to
communicate seamlessly with third-party IoT cloud environments. Independent of
the chosen environment - Amazon, Azure, Huawei, Sigfox or NBIoT - MAPS is a
ideal IoT application builder. In addition, the built-in OPC UA, Sigfox
wireless and MQTT protocol secure communication capability to other
devices deployed anywhere in the cloud.
Robust reliability and availability can also
are achieved through active clustered server technology options. The
Client side user interface provides the ability to edit the values
configure, display, manipulate and deliver in a secure
User Interface. The MAPS design environment provides an intuitive interface that
results in faster engineering which can lead to higher productivity and
ultimately lower costs.
The result is a SCADA platform product that can be
used to create advanced, secure and integrated solutions that add value
to a company. This can be as simple as being able to see the
output from a single machine on your smartphone or coordinate the
installation / upgrade of a complete production line.
MAPS is the default choice for Mitsubishi users
Electric automation hardware, but with a higher level of flexibility
and safety in a standard product, it will come as no surprise that
this attracts new converts to a complete Mitsubishi Electric solution.
