Mitsubishi Electric Offers a Single Source for Pump Control, Automation, and Water System Visualization
A single partner for pump control, automation, and system visualization helps water and wastewater utilities reduce downtime, improve operational visibility, and support better-informed decision-making.
Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc., Industrial Automation Division (Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation) and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, Inc. are helping water and wastewater utilities streamline operations through a unified approach to system automation, pump control, and system visualization.
Fragmented water systems can limit operational efficiency and reduce visibility across facilities. Mitsubishi Electric addresses these challenges by combining advanced drive and control hardware with digital visualization software. As municipalities continue to face increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, improve system reliability, and operate with fewer resources, this integrated approach aims to simplify system design, enhance operational performance, and supports more informed decision-making.
Connecting Pump Control with Operational Efficiency
Water and wastewater systems are among the largest energy consumers in municipal operations, with pumping accounting for the majority of usage. Mitsubishi Electric helps utilities optimize these processes through intelligent pump control and energy-efficient drive technologies.
The FR-F800 series variable frequency drive (VFD) helps to improve pump reliability, reduce maintenance, and helps lower operation costs through
- Built-in anti-clogging capabilities
- Cavitation avoidance
- Smart multi-pump control
- Common applications include aeration, wastewater transfer, and water distribution.
Extending Visibility Across the Entire System
When paired with GENESIS, the industrial SCADA automation platform from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, Inc., these automation technologies extend beyond equipment-level control. GENESIS collects, visualizes, monitors, and analyzes operational data from assets, facilities, and distributed infrastructure. Real-time operational visibility helps utilities respond faster to changing conditions, improve decision-making, and manage day-to-day operations more effectively. Additional features of GENESIS include
- Universal connectivity that centralizes data from modern equipment and legacy systems
- Alarm management and escalation
- Historical data collection, reporting, and analytics
- Secure remote access, monitoring, and control
These capabilities help utilities move from isolated systems to connected operations, transforming operational data into actionable intelligence while supporting more efficient, reliable, and resilient water infrastructure
A Unified Approach to Modern Water Challenges
By combining hardware and digital technologies, Mitsubishi Electric provides a single-source solution that simplifies integration and supports long-term operational goals, including energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.
“Water utilities are being asked to do more with less. Less energy, fewer resources, and smaller teams,” said Wes Gulik, Industry Marketing Manager for Water/Wastewater at Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation. “By bringing pump control, automation, and digital visibility together, we’re helping customers improve performance while simplifying how their systems are managed and maintained.”
Ted Hill, President & CEO at Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, Inc. added, “Access to real-time operational data is critical for modern water systems. By unifying visualization and analytics with automation, we enable operators to see what’s happening across their systems, respond more quickly, and make more confident decisions.”
Experience a Unified Solution at WEFTEC 2026
To see this integrated approach in action, attendees can visit Mitsubishi Electric at WEFTEC 2026 in booth #1000. Live demonstrations will highlight how pump control, automation, and digital visualization work together to address real-world water and wastewater challenges.
Mitsubishi Electric experts will be available to discuss specific applications, answer technical questions, and help attendees explore how a unified solution can support their operational goals.
