What it does

OMRON is a Kyoto-based maker of factory automation equipment (controllers, sensors, machine vision, motion control and robots), plus healthcare devices such as blood pressure monitors and social-infrastructure systems.

Why it matters

Its industrial automation business sells into electronics and semiconductor production, and the company said generative-AI-related demand supported that business in its fiscal year to March 2026; it also integrates NVIDIA Omniverse technology and distributes Techman Robot cobots. AI is a demand driver, not its product.

How it makes money

Manufacturers pay it for automation components, systems and robots, and consumers and healthcare providers buy its medical devices; it also sells social-systems equipment and services.
