“Having helped UK industry to move forward with our class-leading low-power drive systems, it’s now time to further improve our overall service proposition for larger-capacity drives,” explains Mitsubishi's national sales manager, Stuart Woodhead. “This will include system design and build, installation, commissioning and the ongoing need for site service and support.

“By working together, we believe Mitsubishi Electric and a select number of key partners can deliver better operating efficiency with improved system performance and visibility using intelligent automation solutions as part of a turnkey service,” he adds. “Dedicated project management and client communications are expected to improve turnaround times.”

The Drives Solutions Centre network will be share knowledge, improving services from design and installation, to site support. It will offer smart condition monitoring and predictive maintenance services to help avoid unplanned downtime.
