Intelligent, Integrated and Interactive are the three main ingredients of Omron’s 3-I concept. The Intelligent aspect makes manufacturing processes smarter by utilizing information technology and creates additional value to the shop-floor by enabling the makers to collect, visualize and analyze data.

Integrated technology offers seamless integration of technologies to improve accuracy of the machines. Interaction between machines and humans creates manufacturing sites where machines adapt to human needs and work together to enhance productivity.

Omron, active in the Indian market since 1980, exhibited its key ILOR + S portfolio at the company’s Automation Centre in Mumbai. Sameer Gandhi, Managing Director, Omron Automation, said, “The manufacturing industry may fall short of achieving the targeted contribution of 25 percent to GDP by 2020 and reaching USD 1 trillion by 2025, if the automation industry does not work in tandem to help the machine builders make a continuous transition towards smart manufacturing. This ambitious target requires them to achieve unprecedented levels of productivity, efficiency, reliability, perfection, uniformity, flexibility, customized solutions and above all a perfect match with global standards – which is not feasible without the most optimum level of industrial automation. There is a need of a connected shop-floor with connected supply chains and connected customers.”
