i³-Mechatronics Intelligent Automation System from YASKAWA|Elevating factories to Smart Factory
i³-Mechatronics from YASKAWA is an automation system that integrates mechatronics with digital technologies such as AI, IoT, and Big Data, helping factories increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and flexibly adapt to production line changes.
1. The Concept Behind i³-Mechatronics
The i³ concept comes from three words: “integrated”, “intelligent”, and “innovative”. It is a combination of traditional mechatronics systems with advanced digital technologies such as IoT, AI, and Big Data, to create a “thinking automation system”, reducing reliance on skilled labor and enabling real-time response to agile production lines.
2. Superiority Over Conventional Automation Systems
From systems that operate based on pre-programmed commands to systems that can adapt and analyze independently, i³-Mechatronics can:
- Automatically adjust production processes
- Predict problems in advance
- Reduce human error
- Support various production formats
3. Key Components of i³-Mechatronics
- Smart Components: Robots, servo motors, inverters with built-in sensors
- Edge Controller: Processes on-site data
- Platform i³: Connects with SCADA, MES, ERP
- AI & Predictive Maintenance: Predicts and plans maintenance
4. Benefits of Implementation
- Increase OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
- Reduce downtime and maintenance costs
- Rapidly adapt production lines
- Provide real-time data for decision-making
- Reduce reliance on skilled labor
5. Why Choose YASKAWA i³-Mechatronics
YASKAWA has been a global leader in mechatronics for over 100 years. This system not only controls but also “learns and evolves independently”. It is ideal for factories in the Industry 4.0 era that demand flexibility, precision, and future readiness.
YASKAWA products, including robots, inverters, and servos, fully support the i³-Mechatronics system. After-sales service and expert engineers are also available for consultation.
