Like previous years, Mitsubishi Electric Cup has a fundamental theme that will serve as a base for participants to engineer their models. The theme for this year is ‘Visualizing IoT Solutions for Smart Automation’ under which students will independently prepare and present complete set of devices and models, by using Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation products.
The national-level automation competition has carved a niche for itself as a testing ground for budding engineers to collaborate, innovate and excel in the field of Factory Automation. The Competition continues to receive encouraging response from Engineering Colleges and Technical Institutions across the country with representation from over 16 States including 2 Union Territories across the country. In the last edition of Mitsubishi Electric Cup, the winning team ’SPARK’ from D.K.T.E Society’s Textile & Engineering Institute (Maharashtra) received prize worth Rs. 1 lakh. The second place was taken by team ‘Con-Sol-E 3.0’ from Institute of Technology, Nirma University, Ahmedabad (Gujarat), who took home prize worth Rs. 75,000 and team ‘Team Eminence’ from MKSSS’s Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune (Maharashtra) secured the third spot, receiving prize worth Rs. 50,000.
The 5th edition of Mitsubishi Electric Cup gears up for a much bigger concept. Over the years, the competition has gained momentum and helped in interacting and collaborating with various colleges.

Following the process, an eminent panel comprising industry and academia experts have shortlisted 35 teams out of all the teams who register, based on a pre-defined selection criteria. Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation hardware has been dispatched to these 35 teams who will prepare and present models of various industrial manufacturing processes, energy saving solutions, smart solutions for building automation etc., basis the theme. The shortlisted teams are being assisted by Mitsubishi Electric India to make the model with technical support and training, along with provision of Factory Automation equipment. Additionally, each team will be given financial support of Rs. 10,000 upon successful participation at the final event of 5th Mitsubishi Electric Cup in February 2020 and their adherence to necessary skillset.
