OMRON, a leading provider of advanced industrial automation solutions, has inaugurated its new proof-of-concept lab at Baner, Pune. The facility is designed to provide customers with first-hand & closer experience, showcasing the latest advancements in the field of Automated Optical Inspection (AOI).
Inspired with OMRON’s unique i-Automation! (based on 3 “i”s – integrated, intelligent and interactive) concept, the Lab intends to serve as a platform for customers to explore OMRON’s niche and cutting-edge AOI machine 3D AOI VT-S10 series for varied optical inspection needs of SMT PCBs catering to diverse industry applications such as automotive – including EVs – telecom, consumer electronics, healthcare, to name just a few.
The 3D AOI VT-S10 series identifies and reports all types of Surface Mount Technologies (SMT) and Through Hole (TH) defects with a highly improved efficiency owing to its higher field of view (FOV), higher resolution cameras and improved accuracy of up to 99% of first pass yield (FPY).
Its demonstration at the Lab has been completely automated by seamlessly integrating various OMRON cobots and robots such as OMRON’s LD90 AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot)- automating the end-of-line PCB transportation aligned with OMRON’s commitment to provide customers with complete solutions.
Located in the heart of the city, the Lab will also serve as a collaborative space to encourage current and prospective partners avail physical training and skill-up workshops; get a complete evaluation of their own PCBs and attend virtual demonstration sessions. With Pune emerging as a hub for automobile and electronic industries feeding major manufacturing hubs in western India, customers can explore the integration of technologies into real-world applications across different industries.
The launch of the facility aligns with OMRON’s commitment to providing exceptional customer service and delivering innovative solutions. By offering a space where customers can witness the capabilities of the products firsthand, the company aims to help customers make informed decisions.
“We are excited to introduce our first PoC Lab focused on AOI technologies and PCB handling, where customers can see our advanced automated optical inspection automation solutions in action,” said Sameer Gandhi, MD, OMRON, Automation, India. “This facility, an addition to our existing facilities – Automation Centre, Robotics & Vision Labs- showcases our commitment to innovation and customer-centric approach. By bringing together cutting-edge technology and industry expertise, we aim to empower customers with the knowledge they need to stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape and gain a deeper appreciation for the transformative impact industrial automation can have on their businesses.”
