About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions Launches New Control Renewal Menu for Elevators Manufactured by Other Companies Overseas



TOKYO, Mar 17, 2025 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions Corporation (MEBS, Head Office: Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo; President: Iwao Oda) today announced the launch scheduled for 19 March of a new overseas control renewal menu for elevators made by other companies installed in existing buildings. By developing a new control panel with an auto-tuning function, MEBS will respond to the diverse needs of its overseas customers for the renewal of control systems for elevators, while spurring the expansion of its maintenance and renewal business.

Main Features of Renewal Menu

1) Achieving control that maximizes ride comfort even with other companies' traction machines through auto-tuning

- It is possible to upgrade to the latest control system by utilizing an MEBS control panel together with a traction machine made by another company.

- The newly developed control panel equipped with an auto-tuning function estimates the characteristics of the other company’s traction machine and automatically derives the control parameters for the combination of the other company’s traction machine and the MEBS control panel. This eliminates the need to develop a dedicated control panel for the traction machine and improves ride comfort.

2) Improving safety and contributing to sustainability by promoting the renewal of existing elevators

- The renewal menu promotes the renewal of existing elevators to improve safety and convenience, and contributes to sustainability by reducing power consumption and waste emissions through the reuse of some of the equipment.

- The menu also reduces downtime by eliminating the need to replace all of the equipment.

3) Achieving improved convenience in response to diversifying building solution needs

- By adopting the renewal menu, it is possible to introduce integrated building solutions utilizing MEBS’s unique technologies such as our global remote-maintenance service M’s BRIDGE, DOAS (Destination Oriented Allocation System, elevator coordination with mobile robots, Elevator Call System with Smartphone, and BMS (Building Management System).

Background

In the overseas elevator market, there are many elevator parts manufacturers and specialized elevator maintenance companies that respond to diverse customer needs. With such a wide variety of choices available, MEBS receives numerous requests from customers with existing elevators made by other companies to provide them with higher-quality services by renewing their control systems using our control panels.

Normally, when combining a control panel with a traction machine from a different manufacturer, it is necessary to develop an individual control panel that matches the characteristics of the traction machine. However, by adopting MEBS’s newly developed control panel equipped with an autotuning function, there is no need to develop a dedicated control panel for each traction machine, and the latest control technology can be introduced while utilizing other companies’ traction machines. As a result, performance can be improved while reducing costs and ensuring stable long-term operation.

Until now, our control renewal menu has been limited to “ELEMOTION” for existing MEBS elevators, but with this new autotuning function-equipped control panel, we can now offer control renewal for existing elevators made by other companies, which will allow us to meet an even wider variety of customer needs.

Outlook

MEBS, which is in charge of the building systems business, a key growth area for Mitsubishi Electric, is planning to expand and accelerate the global elevator maintenance and renewal business as a priority strategy. Through this menu, we are aiming to renew 1,000 elevators annually by 2030, mainly in North America and Europe.
