Mitsubishi Electric Cup
National Level Competition for Students
INTRODUCTION
Today, strengthening the cultivation on students’ innovative consciousness, cooperative spirit and engineering practice abilities
is a vital reform of higher education. Competitions play a positive role in further developing higher education reform,
consolidating basic knowledge education, cultivating comprehensive abilities, integrating theories and practices, etc. for
University students through promoting extracurricular scientific and technical activities. Consequently, Mitsubishi Electric India
has introduced a science and technological competition, "Mitsubishi Electric Cup", the National level automation competition for
engineering students (including undergraduates and postgraduates) on a yearly basis, offering opportunities to showcase their
talents in the domain of factory automation. The competition includes innovative ideas, design and application in the field of
factory automation which will be held every year.
Mitsubishi Electric has grown to become one of the most respected organisations of the world, with a promise to provide a better
life for the future generations. Its vision is to shape the future through technology that ensures a brighter, better and greener
tomorrow.
In India, Mitsubishi Electric’s operations were flagged-off in the mid-1950s. Since then, we have grown to become one of the
most highly-valued organisations in this country. With the passage of time, we have moulded ourselves into the Indian flavour
and developed a wide range of innovative and high-quality products for the Indian market. This includes industrial automation
machinery, automotive equipment, air conditioners, visual information systems, photovoltaic (solar) solutions, transportation
systems and many more.
Mitsubishi Electric propagates a responsible attitude towards the environment. Our futuristic vision guides us to create products
which are super energy efficient and help to create a sustainable future.
For more than 75 years, manufacturers from all over the world have relied on Mitsubishi Electric for advanced automation
equipment. Mitsubishi Electric helps in bringing higher productivity and quality to the factory floor. Today, our automation
products are widely used in all walks of life, such as PLC, inverters, servos, CNC, low-voltage electric appliances, industrial
robots and other products widely used and performed well on every corner of Indian industry and have greatly contributed to
India’s economic development. Up to now, Mitsubishi Electric India, through CSR activity, has collaborated with various
institutes by contributing world class FA training equipment, training to faculty and students, Edumeet, seminar and workshop.
MISSION
Constantly developing information/artificial intelligence technology has provided traditional manufacturing industry
transformation with powerful force for change and technical guarantee. The researches on intelligent manufacturing aim to
establish a highly flexible, personalized, and digitalized production mode for products and services; while on the other hand,
with the approaching of energy crisis and aggravation of environmental pollution, an energy conservation, emission reduction
and environmental protection based green factory has become people's common pursuit. Intelligent future green factory will
address the above two issues. Mitsubishi Electric serves the continuous improvement and transformation of Indian industries to
benefit from its rich technology and products. Therefore, the Competition Organization Committee hopes students can realize
intelligent manufacturing and energy saving management system under the guidance of teachers through innovation and by
taking use of Mitsubishi Electric's technology platform.
In the Competition, students are required to integrate Mitsubishi Electric's factory automation products (including PLC, servo,
inverter and human-machine interface, processing machine, etc.), built up and achieve an analogous system of intelligent
manufacturing and energy saving management application, based on e&eco-f@ctory concept and taking e-f@ctory system as
the trunk.
The Competition aims to improve college students' engineering application capability, arouse their interests in learning
technology, build up innovation capacity and cooperation spirit, as well as improve their self-management, ability to work and
communication skills. It is also intended to embody the "learning for practice" ideology, review students' actual manufacturing
and commissioning abilities, meanwhile enhance exchange and cooperation between university and enterprise.

THEME
The Competition primarily embodies three parts, that is, 'System Design and Presentation', 'Basic Knowledge' and "Good
Behaviour". "System Design and Presentation' requires participating teams to focus on the theme of 'Visualizing IoT Solutions For
Smart Automation', independently design and produce a complete set of devices / models by using Mitsubishi Electric factory
automation products, the control system shall be built up based on e&eco-F@ctory concepts.
As per the theme 'Visualizing IoT Solutions For Smart Automation', it is expected to include IoT, interfacing through web based
solutions, connectivity with upper layer of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). For example, if machine/model can be
operated through mobile phone / or apps running on mobile, indication of overall operational data on Mobile, etc.
e-F@ctory promises enhanced productivity. It makes full use of leading control technologies and network technologies to
'visualise' production information, including quantitative and qualitative production data and equipment information, and links
production equipment to higher manufacturing execution systems to allow production information to be incorporated into
production plans be utilised to ensure quality traceability.
eco-F@ctory allows 'visible management' of power usage through the introduction of measuring equipment and technologies
that support energy conservation efforts by meticulously measuring power usage. It also promotes the effective installation of
inverters and other energy saving devices to not only eliminate wastefulness and surges in energy consumption but to reduce
overall power usage.
To summarize, e&eco-F@ctory based solutions provide a means to 'Measure, Visualise, Reduce and Manage' Energy Usage in
the Manufacturing Industry.
Participant can develop enhanced versions of manufacturing processes like packaging, conveying, image processing, bottle
filling process, mixing and separating different components, advanced Process control in manufacturing, model for smart
building / smart city, efficient storage system, printing, innovative equipment for social cause, and many more. These are few
examples, but participants are encouraged to use their imagination & creativity to develop their model. They are motivated to
design an Electro-Mechanical Model Displaying the working of a specific process/part of process with improvement in the
conventional systems.
Participants shall bring their own Prototype Machine/Model controlled by Mitsubishi Electric FA Components, together with
necessary tools, insulation shoes and computers for debugging. During the competition, participating teams shall demonstrate
self-produced system, and provide presentation and defence for the system design and innovations.
Basic set of Mitsubishi Electric FA components (comprising of PLC, HMI and VFD or Servo Drive – Servo Motor, MCBs set) will be
given on returnable basis to the participating institute. All other electro-pneumatic, mechanical, sensor or any other accessory
will be in participants/institute’s scope. If any team needs additional Mitsubishi Electric hardware, then institute needs to
purchase from authorized Channel partners of MEI or arrange by their own.
For additional FA components, only Mitsubishi Electric Make FA components are allowed to use. Contact your technical mentors
for further details.
