Mitsubishi Electric India launches CNC-on-Wheels; aims to improve manufacturing ecosystem

Mitsubishi Electric Computerised Numerical Controllers (CNCs) has launched a training and demonstration caravan “CNC-on-Wheels”. This vehicle was flagged-off from the Mitsubishi Electric, CNC Technical Centre in Peenya which will start its journey in the Peenya industrial area first and then proceed to other Industrial areas.

Mitsubishi Electric CNC offers advanced CNC control systems to take the machining needs of customers to a higher performance level. The company supplies CNC packages and technologies to various factory machines. Mitsubishi Electric India started its CNC manufacturing facility in Peenya, Bengaluru in 2017 to support the ‘Make in India’ initiative and aid industries that want to adopt the latest manufacturing technology.

The “CNC-on-Wheels” is an initiative of Mitsubishi Electric CNC which has it’s focused on contributing to the improvement of the manufacturing ecosystem of India. The initiative will help in enhancing the skills of young machine operators and nurture their technical capabilities in learning the latest CNC Systems. As a company, we do not want technology and its knowledge to be limited to classrooms and customers only, with this initiative we are taking our state-of-the-art training methods to the skilled and semi-skilled manpower of the industry so that they can see, learn, and get hands-on experience of our products and are comfortable in using them.

The “CNC-on-Wheels” consists of two major CNC controls: M80, which is our flagship product and E80, which is a product with limited features, aimed at SMSe/MSMEs. The initiative is designed in a way that a qualified engineer of Mitsubishi Electric will always be present during the whole journey of the vehicle in the industrial areas which will lead to numerous benefits such as sharing knowledge of operations, applications, troubleshooting, explanation of specific features etc. which will be explained to the users.

Addressing the “CNC-on-Wheels” launch event, Masaya Takeda, General Manager, CNC Systems, Mitsubishi Electric India Pvt. Ltd. said, “It is our prime interest that we are connected to the CNC operators and key decision makers in the metal cutting industry. By deploying a new training and demonstration vehicle, we will support to increase the skill level of our CNC operators as a step towards the Government's ‘Skill India Mission’ and ‘Make in India’ initiative.’ We will continue to support the Indian manufacturing industry like we have been doing for some decades.”
