MELSEC-F Product strategy

A core element in our design philosophy is targeted at providing

customers with advanced technology, thus creating a more

sophisticated and user-friendly platform. We hope our MELSEC-F

provides customers with peace-of-mind!

Each employee has the responsibility of final

product quality and for this reason; employees

perform their duties to the highest professional

standard. Our manufacturing teams are focused

on the next target, which is 10 million, 20 million

or more CPU sales.

On a daily basis, we are committed to reaching

our target and goals, with this in mind, we also

feel a sense of responsibility to our world-wide

customers.

In 2004 we launched the first-of-the-3rd-generation

controllers, the new addition to our Micro PLC

portfolio is the highly anticipated FX3UC Controller.

In 2005 we will once again change the micro PLC

market with the FX3U "brick" controller. We are

committed to expanding and creating market share

in all worldwide markets.

We place ultimate priority on providing the best

products, service and quality. We believe every task

we perform is directly related to customer

satisfaction, thus sub-par performance cannot be

tolerated. We aim to manufacture highly reliable

products and keep our reputation as the World's

No#1 reliable Micro PLC.
