Is it currently a good time for businesses to invest in high-performance automation technology upgrades?
Adroit Technologies has introduced the Mitsubishi Electric EM-A series permanent magnet motors to the African market. These motors are designed to deliver high performance while maintaining IE5 energy efficiency standards.
Why it matters
Manufacturers are seeking ways to improve operational efficiency and performance without the high costs and complexity typically required by traditional servo systems.
The EM-A series motors are available in power ratings from 0,1 kW to 7,5 kW and feature sensorless vector control technology. These units can reach up to 200% starting torque from zero speed using an adaptive magnetic flux observer.
The players
Adroit Technologies
Adroit Technologies is an industrial automation provider that distributes Mitsubishi Electric solutions.
Mitsubishi Electric
Mitsubishi Electric is a global manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment used in industrial automation.
The details
The EM-A series operates in tandem with the FR-E800 inverter platform, which includes built-in PLC functionality to enable motion control without external programming. By using an adaptive magnetic flux observer, the system can estimate position and speed without needing an encoder.
Timeline
Adroit Technologies introduced the motor series to the African market in October 2026.
The Tech Race
This release reflects the broader industry transition toward motors meeting the IE5 international energy efficiency standard to reduce long-term operational costs. It positions the EM-A series against legacy induction motors that lack integrated smart control and motion capabilities.
Industrial users can implement point-to-point positioning and motion control without needing complex, external PLC programming. This integration simplifies setup and reduces the technical overhead required for factory automation tasks.
The takeaway
The EM-A series offers a way for manufacturers to modernize their equipment while lowering energy usage. Adopting sensorless motor control can significantly simplify the integration process for facility managers and system integrators.
