Omron to Demonstrate Applications at Automate Show

Omron Automation Americas recently announced it will be at the upcoming Automate Show to demonstrate applications for the factory of today and that of the future. Omron’s diverse technologies on display will feature solutions for traceability and flexible manufacturing.

The biennial Automate Show, taking place from April 8-11 in Chicago, provides a key opportunity for Omron to showcase technologies that help manufacturers improve productivity, flexibility and human-machine interaction.

In Booth #8737, Omron plans to present its Factory Harmony exhibit, a multifaceted display that provides a vision of the manufacturing floor of the future. Each demo in the exhibit is designed to illustrate ways in which machines can collaborate more effectively with humans on the factory floor.

The Factory Harmony exhibit includes a fully integrated vision-guided robotics pick-and-place demo that shows the potential for machines to manage finely detailed work with speed and accuracy as part of a flexible manufacturing system, as well as a traceability demo comprised of laser marking and robotic technologies. Flexibility and traceability are key targets of Omron solutions.

Other robotic solutions on display at Automate include Omron’s TM Series collaborative robot, a flexible solution for human-machine collaboration, and the LD Series mobile robots that move materials flexibly throughout the factory. Both solutions help manufacturers meet growing demands for customization without completely reconfiguring their production lines.

The Omron booth will also feature a demo of its most advanced machine vision technology as well as its safety product offerings. In total, the Factory Harmony exhibit demonstrates a new standard for human-machine collaboration to help manufacturers enjoy improvements in productivity, efficiency, quality and worker satisfaction.
