The story of OMRON started back in 1933 when our founder invented a precision timer for X-Ray machines to help protect patients from over-exposure. This simple invention was a true game changer at that time, and a first milestone in our history of innovation in industrial automation. In line with our values, we believe that we have a moral commitment to put that expertise again at the service of pharmaceutical industry for a better health and a better life for all.
More than any other manufacturing sector, the pharmaceutical industry is under tremendous pressure to provide affordable and safe medicine, respond to a growing demand for personalised care, comply with regulations and cope with an acute shortage of a skilled workforce. Those market, operational and regulatory forces require a major rethink within the manufacturing community.
The new EU GMP Annex 1 guideline for the pharma industry places a strong emphasis on paperless, zero-touch and zero-error processes at all levels. Automation, robotization and digitalization are now a matter of when, not if. It is an exciting journey towards the factory of the future that we look forward to taking with you, step by step.
