The plant known as MEAMC, has achieved an overall 10% reduction in power consumption, which at a product level translates to 27% less energy being needed to manufacture each product. This has been achieved through the combined use of Mitsubishi Electric’s e-F@ctory intelligent manufacturing system and the use of E-JIT (environment & energy just in time) to simultaneously optimize environmental, energy and production efficiency.
