I will start with FA. Currently, in the world of manufacturing, we are seeing significant changes on a global basis, as shown in this slide. As an example, we have seen impressive gains in the functionality of smartphone handsets. Handset makers need to respond to a proliferation of designs and ever higher levels of functionality, which require ultra-high levels of precision in embedding components. Mitigating the resulting tradeoff in productivity is a major challenge for manufacturers on the ground. Manufacturers are facing multiple challenges of this nature while at the same time needing to respond to customer demand to ramp new model production in extremely short timeframes and to deliver tens of millions of units in line with demanding marketing schedules. We have also seen significant migration to local production, which creates massive challenges in terms of not only finding sufficient skilled workers at appropriate wage levels but adapting local manufacturing facilities to local workers’ skill levels, while maintaining a single global quality standard for a given product. In response to this demanding environment, Omron’s manufacturing customers are struggling to respond in the face of labor shortages as well as rising wages in emerging markets. To overcome such challenges, new demand for automation is on the rise.
