Case Study: PRAKAB a.s. achieves increased production reliability and reduced downtime with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions

PRAKAB a.s. - Customer Case Study

PRAKAB, one of the Czech Republic’s largest wire and cable manufacturers, launched a plant modernization to increase production and improve reliability across 15 cable and wire lines (each with about 300 I/O points). To unify operator interfaces, integrate data from Siemens S7‑300 PLCs over PROFIBUS/Ethernet, and reduce downtime and training overhead, PRAKAB engaged a solution based on Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions’ ICONICS software suite (deployed via systems integrator ADAX), including GENESIS32, GraphWorX32, AlarmWorX32, TrendWorX32 and DataWorX32.

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions tied GENESIS32 to each production line, deployed GraphWorX32 operator displays, AlarmWorX32 early warnings, TrendWorX32 trending/reporting, and DataWorX32 OPC aggregation, yielding higher equipment reliability, reduced production downtime, faster implementations and lower total cost of ownership. The upgrade has standardized operator panels (cutting training time), improved quality analysis and root‑cause detection, and has already been rolled out to 12 of 15 lines, with plans to extend WebHMI and ReportWorX capabilities across the facility.
