OMRON, a global leader in industrial automation, has announced the inauguration of its new Automation Center (ATC) in Bengaluru, India. This move marks a significant expansion of OMRON's commitment to supporting the automation and digitalization of India's manufacturing sector through co-creation with customers. The Bengaluru facility is the latest addition to OMRON's global network of ATCs, serving as a critical hub for innovation and skill development.
The center is designed to provide cutting-edge Factory Automation (FA) technology and advanced automation solutions tailored to address the specific challenges faced by manufacturers in India, including Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
