Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. is proud to announce the official launch of its workforce development program, ‘Diamondworks!’. Their mission is to educate the future workforce to be better prepared for roles in industries that are becoming increasingly automated. Industries such as packaging, manufacturing, metalworking, automotive, and logistics continue to advance in terms of automation equipment used and knowledge required to succeed. To support this initiative, Mitsubishi Electric will collaborate with educational facilities throughout the Americas. Mitsubishi Electric Automation will also work with industry associations that provide training and development, and organizations that promote manufacturing automation as a career.

As the manufacturing industry suffers a labor shortage exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, skilled workers with experience in automation are in high demand. Companies need workers who are trained to program, operate, and maintain advanced technology throughout their facilities. To meet this demand, Diamondworks! is designed to bring automation equipment, training, and curriculum to the next generation of the automation workforce. As a full-service automation provider, Mitsubishi Electric Automation is able to offer a broad offering of stand-alone CNC or robot training stands to fully integrated automation cells.

“At Mitsubishi Electric Automation, we have a proud history of investing in workforce development. We believe that the learners of today are the leaders of the future,” said Mark Werthman, senior director of engineered and project solutions. “We’re excited to be building a network of educational partnerships with technical colleges, universities, high schools, and training associations to provide students the educational equipment and curriculum they need to become leaders in the workforce,” added Tom Majewski, workforce development specialist.

Smart Conveyance and the Future of Intelligent Factory Automation

Meeting the demand for fast, flexible and customized operations requires manufacturers to use updated flexible, cutting-edge processes. To accomplish this, they must drive integration and create differentiation throughout the entire manufacturing process. This is difficult because many traditional automotive manufacturers rely on antiquated, chain-based conveyor systems in their assembly process and don’t have infrastructures in place that can safely connect, manage, validate, and optimize all aspects of their production.

Pilz: Revision of Standards ISO 13849 and IEC 62061

Both standards had to be updated to continue to represent the “state of the art”. The latest edition of IEC 62061 was published on 22 March 2021. ISO 13849 has reached FDIS status; that means that the content can no longer be changed. The impetus to revise both standards stemmed not just from the routine revision and upgrade to the state of the art, but also from the many discussions that took place during the failed attempt to unify the two standards within IEC ISO 17305.
