Over the last 3.5 years, we have focused more on our sales capability to grow our business. We are forecasting 17％ YoY topline growth this fiscal year. However, from about 2 years ago, we have been working on the innovative-Automation concept, through which we seek to create new markets and new value for customers. This adds a new layer on top of our market strategies to date. It has been a key focus from last year. It is a concept unique to Omron. It is centered around innovation. Conceptually, we aim to use innovation to dramatically accelerate our own growth by providing new value to our customers. The concept can be broken down into three elements. The first is ‘integrated’, as shown in the upper right. As we have already discussed, this is about high level control. I will use video to help show what I mean in a moment. Conceptually, we envisioned solutions centered around a single controller able to seamlessly control robots, manage graphic processing and/or control motors. This would make it possible for customers to enjoy productivity and manufacturing capabilities at levels not possible to date. This is what we mean by the evolution in control. I think this is what most people imagine when they think about automation. The second element is ‘interactive’, which is a new way of collaboration between humans and machines. We are now moving away from the idea that efficiency is about simply replacing humans with machines. Instead, manufacturing is now looking at ways to fully capitalize on the strengths of both, ensuring that the manufacturing process is highly efficient but also highly flexible. This is a new approach to manufacturing. The third element is ‘intelligent’. IoT is probably the most well-known example of applying intelligent techniques to manufacturing, where manufacturing evolves further by leveraging the use of data. These are the three ‘i’s underpinning Omron’s innovative-automation concept.
