Mitsubishi Electric of Japan and Wonderware, a business unit of Invensys, have announced the signing of a new software alliance agreement. Mitsubishi, which claims to be the world's leading volume supplier of PLCs, will combine Wonderware software with its own hardware to deliver enhanced automation and information solutions worldwide.
