Separately, as covered in a recent press release, we completed the acquisition of Sentech on July 3, 2017. This acquisition further expands our product lineup, which will allow us to broaden the range of solutions we can provide to our customers. Sentech boasts more than 200 industrial camera models and has superior technological expertise in developing high-resolution, compact solutions for use in factory automation. Please look at the right-hand side of the slide. Although it may not look like it, this is a SCARA robot. What we envision is the use of Sentech’s compact cameras in SCARA robots. Going forward, the smart cameras embedded in robots will need to have small form factors and have few restrictions on where they can be mounted. We believe this will enable increasingly complex assembly processes, the automation of inspection processes that currently rely on demanding visual inspections, and new revolutionary manufacturing technologies. We will continue to engage in M&A as a tool to further expand our product lineup and solutions’ capabilities. This will allow us to develop a business platform with clear growth potential. We hope you will hold high expectations for our progress on this front.
