As manufacturers increasingly use data and AI at the edge, they need reliable computing that works alongside real-time automation and control. OMRON Corp. this month said it has agreed to acquire 100% of OnLogic this week, worth $675 million, to combine its proven automation with OnLogic’s industrial computing expertise.

“This acquisition is an important step in advancing our SF2030 vision and our evolution toward GEMBA DX,” stated Junta Tsujinaga, president and CEO of OMRON. “North America is a key growth market for OMRON, and this investment strengthens our foundation there while building the capabilities our customers will increasingly need.”

“OnLogic’s industrial computing expertise, flexibility and strong customer relationships complement our strengths in automation and control,” he added. “Together, we see an opportunity to create new value for customers as manufacturing becomes more connected, data-driven and intelligent.”

Founded in 1933, OMRON Automation creates, sells, and services fully integrated automation solutions that include sensing, control, safety, vision, and motion. The Kyoto, Japan-based company said its 30,000 employees creatively help businesses solve problems in more than 110 countries. Its Americas office is in Hoffman Estates, Ill.

Founded in 2003, OnLogic designs and makes configurable, solution-focused, AI -capable computers engineered for reliability at the Internet of Things ( IoT ) edge. -based company said it has helped more than 70,000 customers worldwide with their complex computing challenges with systems that are built to order, delivered in days, and designed to last.
