Omron’s new Automation Centre and customer collaboration to tackle industry challenges
Omron has officially opened a new Automation Center, where by actively co-developing solutions with customers, it will help manufacturers, machine builders, and system integrators tackle key societal challenges, such as labour shortages.
Omron celebrated the grand opening of the new Automation Center in Stuttgart, reaffirming its commitment to industrial automation.
Strategically located near key customers and partners, the new facility serves as a hub for expertise in advanced automation solutions. It can enable co-creation, proof-of-concept development, and hands-on collaboration.
The Omron Automation Center Stuttgart joins a global network of 48 Automation Centers and Proof-of-Concept labs to support customers and partners across Germany and Europe.
Spanning 2,372 m², and located just minutes from the Stuttgart international airport, the facility is home to a team of experts in industry-specific solutions, including sensing, control, vision, safety, robotics, and AI-driven technologies.
Fernando Colás, CEO at OMRON Industrial Automation Europe notes how the investment in Germany and in the EMEA region plus the pride and the dedication of the team has made the vision a reality.
“Seeing this project come to life and now standing in a space where we can innovate together with our customers is an inspiring moment,” he said on the day. “We are excited to shape the future of manufacturing together with our customers and partners.”
Equally effusive. Peter Ehl, general manager at Automation Center Stuttgart said Omron believes, that “the best innovations emerge through collaboration”.
He added: “What makes this Automation Center so special is that it was purpose-built from the ground up specifically for Omron.
“Every part of this facility has been designed with our customers in mind — to provide an environment where we can collaborate, test, and refine real-world automation solutions.”
The new facility is part of Omron’s long-term vision to drive innovation and continue to support its customers with scalable, and flexible solutions that drive operational excellence in manufacturing.
