We visualize our customers' factories
to solve problems and troubles.
"Visualization" of production and energy achieves future factories that
advance one step forward.
The integrated solution, e-F@ctory, is based on our consolidated know-how, which has been developed
through our own experiences as a user of FA products. Our e-F@ctory provides total cost reduction ranging
from development to production and maintenance to achieve optimized production. This solution makes it
possible to save energy and to optimize production by "visualization" that links upstream information systems
and production site information, thus solving various problems on production sites.
Sharing information across production systems
MES I nte rf a ce
Information sharing is easy and inexpensive because communication
gateways, such as personal computers, are not necessary to connect factory
equipment to the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
Optimizing production from a TCO* stand point
iQ P l atf orm
Factory automation components such as controllers, human-machine
interfaces, engineering environments, and networks are all seamlessly
integrated to reduce TCO across different stages, from development to
production and maintenance.
Visualization of energy consumption
e & e c o-F@c tory
It is indispensable for today' s factory to be energy conscious and efficient.
The e-F@ctory solution enables management of specific energy consump-
tion, which provides the visibility needed to improve productivity. Additionally,
this solution takes the total life cycle into account, including factors such as
"measurement and diagnosis", "countermeasures", and "operation and
management". Backed by several successes and achievements, our know-
how will support your energy saving efforts.
Network
CC-Link Family, the open field network of
the world standard, and SSCNET III/H, the
servo network for achieving high-speed
processing and enhancement of instruction
synchronization, flexibly expanding the
connectivity among equipment and
devices in the e-F@ctory environment.

iQ Platform-compatible
equipment
The inter-multi-CPU high-speed base unit
provides slots for arbitrarily connecting
programmable controllers, motion
controllers, on-line CNCs, and robot
controllers. Data communication
speed among devices is enhanced, and
their compatibility is extremely improved.
Controller network
iQ Platform-compatible
engineering environments
Design information is integrated and
shared at stages from system design to
programming, tests and startup, and
operation and maintenance. In addition,
programming software programs for
programmable controllers, motion
controllers, on-line CNCs, robots,
inverters, and GOTs, which are separately
provided in a conventional environment,
can be integrated.
