Positioning

Mitsubishi Electric makes MELFA industrial robots (including the heavy-payload RV-35/50/80FR series) within the Factory Automation segment of its ~JPY 5.5T group, part of its e-F@ctory ecosystem. No robot-specific dated 2025-26 activity was found this pass (its latest major launch was the RV-35/50/80FR in May 2024). Robots are not broken out (estimated 100-500m line), and it is a structurally necessary FA giant.
