Omron’s Stuttgart Automation Center wins 2025 iF Design Award

May 22, 2025 by Sam Francis

Omron has been awarded the 2025 iF Design Award for its newly opened Automation Center (ATC) in Stuttgart, Germany. The center, which opened in April 2025, serves as a collaborative facility where Omron works with customers to develop advanced manufacturing solutions.

This marks the second time Omron has received an iF Design Award for one of its permanent facilities. The first was awarded in 2021 for the company’s ATC in Tokyo.

Organized by the iF International Forum Design GmbH in Hannover, the iF Design Award is one of the most established international design competitions. [Read more…] about Omron’s Stuttgart Automation Center wins 2025 iF Design Award

Even if it ain’t broke, you still oughta fix it

April 26, 2024 by Mark Allinson

Making FMCG manufacturing more sustainable through intelligent energy management

Patricia Torres, Industry Marketing Manager Food and Commodities Solutions, OMRON Industrial Automation Europe

Some factory managers take the view that ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. This approach is understandable and, in many instances, valid – particularly if it relates to a process that took a long time to get right in the first place, or a line or machine that is running reliably.

However, as fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers embark on net zero journeys, a passive attitude towards factory automation won’t cut it. [Read more…] about Even if it ain’t broke, you still oughta fix it

Omron launches new integrated autonomous mobile robot solutions with lifter and roller modules from ROEQ

February 22, 2024 by David Edwards

Omron’s new medium-payload autonomous mobile robots, the MD-650 and the MD-900, are launching as complete solutions with top modules by ROEQ, a leader in mobile robotic equipment.

Businesses looking to deploy autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in their facility often realize that an AMR without a top module is like a robot arm without a gripper.

A lifter top module enables an AMR to drive underneath the cargo, lift it up and transport it to the desired location, while a top roller makes sure that the cargo is seamlessly transferred from the AMR to a conveyor station, providing a fully-automated, efficient logistics cycle.

Kyle Hable, group product manager, Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies, says: “Manufacturers are adopting AMR technology at a staggering rate as the world moves forward from the supply chain crisis inflicted by the pandemic and it’s never been more important to launch complete, out of the box solutions accelerating production automation projects.” [Read more…] about Omron launches new integrated autonomous mobile robot solutions with lifter and roller modules from ROEQ
