Moving ahead, we aim to progress in the Digital segment too.”
Omron’s extensive range of sensing and control technology based solutions-more than 30,000 variants- spread across industrial components, automation systems, sensing and safety, motion and drives, robots and software have been helping manufacturers in the form of efficiency, productivity, flexibility, accuracy and safety as they scale up the value chain. “We have recently introduced the futuristic concept of IoT (Internet of Things) to expand their horizon and help them develop smarter machines based on the concept of ‘i 3’- ‘Integrated, Intelligent and Interactive,” Gandhi informed.
