GENESIS version 11 has arrived. This major upgrade to the company’s flagship industrial data visualization and process control software eliminates tag count limitations and introduces a built-in industrial historian, transforming how manufacturers capture and analyse operational data. Designed for comprehensive industrial automation, monitoring and secure data management, GENESIS 11 allows companies to scale from small applications to enterprise-wide deployments without additional costs, while the embedded historian eliminates the need for separate data logging systems.

For nearly four decades, GENESIS has continuously evolved to meet changing industrial and regulatory demands, such as cybersecurity compliance through encrypted communications and integration with Microsoft active directories. From its early versions running on DOS and Windows, through 16-bit to 64-bit computing, GENESIS has been developed to keep pace with modern automation needs including real-time 3D visualisation and remote web-based monitoring. With its latest enhancements, GENESIS version 11 supports collecting, analysing and visualising data for a wide range of industries, including automotive, life sciences, smart buildings, and data centres.
Unrestricted Licensing – A New Standard in Flexibility
GENESIS version 11 introduces unlimited licensing, removing restrictions on tags and client connections. This fundamental shift eliminates traditional Digital Solutions platform pricing constraints, allowing manufacturers to expand their automation systems without additional licensing fees.
“This change redefines how automation projects are structured,” says Christian Nomine, Strategic Product Manager Visualization & Analytics at Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. “By removing software limitations, customers can focus on innovation and scaling their operations freely” adds Christian Nomine.
With lower upfront costs, Digital Solutions platforms become more accessible and budget-friendly, enabling cost-effective implementation.
Built-In Industrial-Strength Historian for Smarter Decision-Making
GENESIS version 11 introduces an integrated industrial historian, eliminating the need for third-party loggers and complex scripting. This built-in functionality collects, analyses, and visualises in real-time and historical data, allowing manufacturers to optimise performance, implement predictive maintenance, and make data-driven decisions with greater confidence.
“Having all critical data in a single solution, combined with advanced analysis tools, streamlines operations and enhances reliability,” explains Nomine.

Enhanced Real-Time Visualisation and Control
The GraphWorX visualisation suite in GENESIS version 11 enhances real-time monitoring and control with 3D system monitoring, providing greater situational awareness and enabling engineers to identify and resolve performance issues more efficiently. The treemap control simplifies the detection of system anomalies, allowing for faster troubleshooting. Additionally, web-based access ensures secure remote monitoring, giving teams greater flexibility in managing operations. These improvements collectively enhance operational visibility and efficiency, helping manufacturers shift from reactive responses to proactive decision-making.
Seamless Connectivity and Cybersecurity
Built on .NET 8 architecture, GENESIS version 11 offers broad connectivity across industrial automation environments. It integrates natively with Mitsubishi Electric automation products, including PLCs, HMIs, robots, and frequency inverters, while supporting third-party systems via OPC UA, BACnet/SC, Modbus, MQTT, and expanded API capabilities.
“With enhanced connectivity, integrating automation components has never been simpler,” says Nomine. “GENESIS version 11 significantly reduces complexity, saving time and improving system efficiency.”
For mission-critical applications, GENESIS version 11 introduces a streamlined redundancy model, ensuring continuous operations and faster system recovery. Advanced cybersecurity features—including encrypted communication and role-based access control through full integration with Microsoft active directories on premise and in Azure cloud environments —further enhance data protection and compliance with evolving security standards.
Faster Deployment and Long-Term Scalability
GENESIS version 11 is engineered for rapid deployment, featuring automated configuration tools, pre-built templates, and no-code engineering environments. These improvements reduce implementation time from weeks to days, helping manufacturers realise a faster return on investment (ROI).
“This release is a milestone in Digital Solutions platform development,” concludes Nomine. “Mitsubishi Electric has delivered a solution that is more powerful, adaptable, and future-ready, providing manufacturers with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.”
