Omron acquires adept’s classy robots for fast-moving automation PPMA TOTAL Show 2016
At the PPMA Total Show 2016, Omron will formally announce its acquisition of Adept Technologies, an established US-based manufacturer and global supplier of industrial robots.
The new brand, named Omron Adept Technologies, fits perfectly into Omron’s automation strategy, and means that the firm is well positioned to support manufacturers of high technology fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).
The takeover has added 49 best-in-class robots to Omron’s portfolio and enables the company to offer food and beverage producers all three primary classes of robots together with an established global service infrastructure. Critically, the deal has broadened Omron’s portfolio with the addition of six axis articulated robots. The new brand, named Omron Adept Technologies, can now offer a larger range of robots across all three primary classes – SCARA, delta and six axis.
