Smart Manufacturing
To bring this vision to life, we offer smart manufacturing solutions on three levels: Smart Machine, Smart Line and Smart Factory. In these levels, each device plays a unique role, and together they create a solution that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Smart maintenance provides self-explanatory maintenance information in the machinery at sensor level, notification module and remote connectivity.
Smart sensors
Smart sensors and components are the backbone of a smart factory, enabling real-time data exchange for predictive maintenance and improved efficiency.
Smart automation
Smart motion control, powered by OMRON’s PLC and motion simulation tools, enables agile and precise production. By simulating and adjusting in real-time, you can streamline setup and reduce errors.
Rewind and resolve unexpected issues with Automation Playback
Resolve unexpected machine failures with the NX5 Controller, featuring the innovative Automation Playback function and keep operations running smoothly.
Sysmac is OMRON's all-in-one automation platform, uniting control, motion, safety, vision, and networking with seamless integration and efficiency.
A 24/7 machine monitoring solution, the Factory Drive Recorder software and hardware package records live video before the defect occurs so that process engineers can review and rectify the error.
Centralize control, optimize workflows, manage tasks, and scale securely for your manufacturing needs.
Link production and management challenges with manufacturing data to solve your production challenges. OMRON is your co-creation partner for continuous improvement.
IT/OT convergence in industrial automation
Bridging the gap between OT and IT is vital to turning today’s factory visions into the reality of tomorrow’s smart, connected manufacturing.
Smart manufacturing ensures:
-
Quality assurance
Implement automated quality checks to maintain high standards, reduce defects and enhance product consistency.
-
Flexible and adaptive design
Enable manufacturing systems to adjust automatically, adapt to product variations and minimize downtime for design changes.
-
Accelerated time to market
Reduce production cycles and respond quickly to customer demands.
-
Stock prediction
Leverage real-time data to predict inventory needs accurately, reduce waste and ensure optimal stock levels.
-
Continuous improvement
Drive operational excellence in manufacturing processes through data-driven insights and proactive problem-solving.
Smart manufacturing technology
Real time data monitoring ensures defect-free relays
How can data help reduce costs in the automotive industry? OMRON Automotive Electronics Italy has upgraded its production line of Power and G8HN relays for the automotive market. The project, led by OMRON’s i-BELT Data Services team, has helped OMRON A.E.I. attain a quality gate of 100% on assembled parts, reducing costs associated with waste and additional checks, with a return on investment achieved after just one year.
Taking the first steps to successful digitalisation
12. november 2024 Building a digital factory isn’t an end or a reason in itself. A digital factory is a tool that gives manufacturing businesses the flexibility to respond to changes in the market - whether that is innovation trends or cost increases, and whether they are operating in the food & beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical or automotive sector.
Digitising with open standards: the recipe for a good night’s sleep
2. september 2024 In a manufacturing context, the purpose of digitisation is to help factory managers sleep soundly at night.
