Details

1. Purpose of acquisition, etc.

As global manufacturing comes under even more pressure to cut costs, shorten supply cycles and operate across global environments, production sites around the world strive to improve productivity. Around the world, the concept of “making things” is facing a turning point. Against the background of social issues such as the shortage of manufacturing personnel and the high cost of wages, manufacturers have an increasing need for automation. The automation of manufacturing processes through the use of robots represents one solution for this situation. By adding the robotics technology of Adept to its already strong and broad current offering, OMRON will be very well positioned to provide “new automation concepts” as solutions to these issues for manufacturers in the automotive, digital device, food and beverage, packaging, and other industries, as well as engineering support. Adept is a leading U.S. based manufacturer of industrial robots. Adept offers a wide range of products tailored to the various needs of the manufacturing sector. Its strengths include technologies for controlling all kinds of robots, and vision sensors that act as robots’ “eyes.” Particularly in robot control technology, it has technologies that ensure both speed and smoothness of movement. Its ability to ensure precision in repetitive motion, which is the key to the success of robot functioning, enables the fastest functionality in the industry.

This acquisition is a part of the acceleration of OMRON’s “ILO+S” (Input, Logic, Output and Safety) strategy for its Industrial Automation Business, which provides automation solutions for the manufacturing industries. By acquiring Adept, OMRON will further enhance this offering by adding R (robotics) and advancing its strategy to “ILO+S+R” to meet the needs of customers.
