Innovation and product development have long been the hallmark of Mitsubishi Electric,” says Tomohiko Kasai, general manager and vice president of the Engineering Center. “We see tremendous opportunities in bringing that focus and commitment to the American market.”
“There is enormous potential in United States for products based on split-ductless and VRF technology,” says Bill Rau, senior vice president and general manager, Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating. “The Engineering Center will give Mitsubishi Electric a serious competitive advantage, as we can develop split-ductless and VRF technologies tailored to the unique needs of American consumers.”
Mitsubishi Electric made the strategic decision to open the Engineering Center in the U.S. because of the unique circumstances in the U.S. market. Split-ductless and VRF technologies are the de facto standard for cooling and heating in many countries around the world, but they are still relatively new to the United States. Mitsubishi Electric recognizes the many benefits of forging a closer link between the development of the technology and the market applications.
The Engineering Center includes engineers and designers from both Japan and the United States. Key management of the Engineering Center was involved in the original creation and development of the split-ductless and VRF technologies decades ago in Japan.
“With the Engineering Center located here in the U.S., the Japanese engineers get a close-up understanding and appreciation of the cooling and heating needs and guiding principles in this country,” says Meredith Emmerich. “They then use that applied knowledge to enhance the design and application of our split-ductless and VRF technologies.”
One additional factor in creating the Engineering Center is the high level of regulation in the U.S. market. “We have the most stringent design requirements and codes of any country in the world,” says Paul Doppel, director, industry and government relations, Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating. “The Center will help us continuously evolve and adapt our technologies to meet the demands of the market.”
Mitsubishi Electric’s Product Marketing, Engineering Solutions & Services, Technical Operations, and Industry & Government Relations departments work closely with the Engineering Center to help define and develop solutions inline with our overarching product strategy. Mitsubishi Electric continuously surveys engineers, architects, contractors and building owners to learn about their experiences with split-ductless and VRF technologies and how they would like to see the products and technology develop.
“All of us work closely with the Engineering Center, so it makes sense to put us in close proximity,” adds Emmerich. “By operating side by side, we can work together on the development of specific products for the North American market.”
“We are looking to continually push the envelope of what is possible,” she adds. “We’re focusing on improving the performance, efficiency, sustainability, comfort and controls of our systems. We excel at all of those today, but we only want to get better
The Mitsubishi Electric system lent itself so well to all of our needs,” says Jeff Menard, Platte River’s facilities and security manager. “Because of the extremely flexible zoning options, all of the individual offices could function on their own, giving each employee full control over his or her space, and the VRF technology satisfied our emphasis on energy-efficiency.”
Prior to installing the system, the engineering team produced a 20-year life-cycle cost analysis and energy savings comparison between the existing system, the VRF system and a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system with high-efficiency gas boilers. The VRF system produced annual energy savings of more than $16,000 compared to the existing system and more than $5,000 compared to the VAV system. VRF life-cycle costs came in $300,000 less than just replacing the current system and $475,000 less than the VAV system.
The Mitsubishi Electric VRF system was installed in the headquarters building in August 2010. During the winter of 2010-2011, Platte River spent 58 percent less on electricity than in the previous winter.
The building is now aiming for an ENERGY STAR rating of 50 and is on its way to the goal of achieving a score of 75.

Reference Architecture for Automotive Industry
Reference Architecture for Automotive Industry
Products and Services Allow Integration of Device-to-IT Connectivity
Helping Clients Enable SOA and Other Industry Standards
Helping Clients Enable SOA and Other Industry Standards
TOKYO — Jan. 31, 2008 — Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, IBM and ILS Technology LLC today announced they are delivering a service oriented architecture (SOA) solution that is specifically designed for the automotive manufacturing industry.
The three companies have developed a reference architecture that can help customers meet industry standards more quickly for device-to-IT connectivity. Each company brings key technology that significantly strengthens this alliance. IBM’s integration services, SOA Foundation extended for manufacturing and project management will be an integral part of this alliance. IBM creates software, service offerings, as well as custom implementations for the automation and industrial market segments.
Mitsubishi Electric develops best-in-class factory automation systems with direct enterprise computing connectivity via the MX MES Interface IT and other factory devices used in the automation and industrial market segment. ILS Technology’s deviceWISE embedded software is integrated into the Mitsubishi Electric e-Factory Portfolio and links IBM’s and plant floor technologies together for those segments. These frameworks are used to connect the device tier to the enterprise-IT tier.
Under the terms of the agreement, each company will jointly market their respective products and services to industrial customers.
The agreement is the culmination of the companies’ collaboration on reference architecture during the past year. ILS Technology’s deviceWISE platform was recently recognized by IBM’s SOA Specialty after successfully completing IBM’s rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. Mitsubishi Electric and ILS Technology worked together to integrate deviceWISE into Mitsubishi Electric’s e-Factory portfolio for factory automation.
All three companies have agreed to cooperate on marketing and sales of products or services that will permit their customers to more efficiently integrate device-to-IT connectivity, which will enable the exchange of live information between the factory floor and the enterprise. The three companies are involved in discussions with major global automation and industrial customers that can benefit from their complementary technologies.
“This collaboration responds to identified customers’ needs and helps enable IBM’s Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) standard in legacy and current technology,” said David Petrucci, global executive, Industrial Sector Solution Sales, IBM Software Group. “Through this partnership, we are building architecture that supports SOA, and by combining our expertise, we leverage all of our resources to provide the marketplace with solid solutions.”
“ILS Technology brings its proven experience in factory-to-enterprise connectivity to this alliance,” said Fred Yentz, chief operating officer, ILS Technology. “Through our collaboration with IBM and Mitsubishi Electric, we’re able to provide the technology solutions which bring a new set of standards to the marketplace. These integrated offerings will help organizations improve their business and manufacturing efficiencies and lower costs.”
“The combination of these technologies provides our customers with advanced solutions that simplify integration and reduce Total Ownership Costs (TCO),” said Satoshi Takeda, Nagoya Works Controller Section Marketing manager, Mitsubishi Electric. “This agreement also further leverages Mitsubishi Electric’s presence and e-Factory offerings in the global market.”
