Mitsubishi Electric and ModuleWorks Partner To Develop Advance Tech

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation established a strategic partnership with and investment in ModuleWorks GmbH, a major developer of software components for the digital manufacturing sector. The partnership expands on Mitsubishi Electric's continuing work with ModuleWorks, a well-known producer of cutting-edge CAD/CAM systems, to develop advanced technologies for generating machining-tool paths and conducting machine-tool simulations.

The simulation of machining operations and the avoidance of real-time collisions through machine verifications are critical to the operation and safe use of machines, as well as to reducing the burden of engineering, as per business wire.

Through its relationship with ModuleWorks, Mitsubishi Electric wants to speed collaborative development and commercialization. The firm intends to provide easier and safer machine tool operation, decrease engineering workloads, and optimize engineering chains by increasing its software development, including machine-tool simulation and data integration with CAD/CAM. 

Finally, this is intended to contribute to the expansion of Mitsubishi Electric's Circular Digital-Engineering business, including the increased use of digital twins and other advanced technologies in the machine tool area, as well as the realization of more smart manufacturing sites.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is a Japanese multinational electronics and electrical equipment manufacturer based in Tokyo. It was founded in 1921 as a spin-off from Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's electrical machinery manufacturing operation at the Kobe Shipyard. Elevators and escalators, high-end home appliances, air conditioning, factory automation systems, rail systems, electric motors, pumps, semiconductors, digital signs, and satellites are among MELCO's products.
