Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc., Industrial Automation Division (Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation) and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, Inc. are helping water and wastewater utilities streamline operations through a unified approach to system automation, pump control, and system visualization.
Fragmented water systems can limit operational efficiency and reduce visibility across facilities. Mitsubishi Electric (Vernon Hills, MI) addresses these challenges by combining advanced drive and control hardware with digital visualization software.
Water and wastewater systems are among the largest energy consumers in municipal operations, with pumping accounting for the majority of usage. Mitsubishi Electric helps utilities optimize these processes through intelligent pump control and energy-efficient drive technologies.
The FR-F800 series variable frequency drive (VFD) helps to improve pump reliability, reduce maintenance, and helps lower operation costs through:
- Built-in anti-clogging capabilities.
- Cavitation avoidance.
- Smart multi-pump control.
- Common applications include aeration, wastewater transfer, and water distribution.
When paired with GENESIS, the industrial SCADA automation platform from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, Inc., these automation technologies extend beyond equipment-level control. GENESIS collects, visualizes, monitors, and analyzes operational data from assets, facilities, and distributed infrastructure. Real-time operational visibility helps utilities respond faster to changing conditions, improve decision-making, and manage day-to-day operations more effectively.
