The NC Software Solution offering is ideal for Industry 4.0 initiatives, enabling advanced read/write capabilities for Mitsubishi Electric NCs. It supports cloud-based remote monitoring, data visualization, and integration with leading monitoring/OEE software.

Here is a closer look at the tools included in these software offerings:

IMA Adapter family: Enable real-time data collection from Mitsubishi Electric NCs, including standard (M7, M8, and Citizen M8 NC), Citizen M7, Citizen M6, and C-Series adapters. These MTConnect compliant adapters easily integrate into end-user visualization tools.

CNC Manager suites: Software development libraries (dynamic-link library function) for third-party developers to create custom applications to access and change machine settings such as, work & tool offsets, variables, programs, and tool life management, enabling remote performance enhancements.

NC API access: API libraries for developing advanced applications to read and write information to NC controls, offering flexibility for integration and automation. This is available for standard M7 and M8 (non-Citizen OEM) NC and Citizen M7 OEM NC.

All products in the offerings are designed specifically for Mitsubishi Electric NCs, allowing end-users and OEMs to remotely monitor and control machine data with minimal downtime. The IMA Adapter products provide real-time data that monitors critical machine performance and delivers production insights. Meanwhile, CNC Manager suites and NC API access empower users to remotely monitor real-time NC data, enabling them to make changes to machine parameters and performance. All offerings meet the latest MTConnect 2.2 standard and provide software development kits for seamless third-party integration. Mitsubishi Electric Automation’s modular approach allows for quick installation and minimal disruption to production.

“As manufacturing environments become more connected and data-driven, our IMA Adapter and NC software solutions offering empowers customers to unlock the full potential of their Mitsubishi Electric NCs. With real-time access and control, manufacturers can drive productivity, optimize performance, and accelerate their digital transformation,” said David Simak, product manager for service solutions at Mitsubishi Electric Automation.
