A single component solves the need to check device status and settings at a glance.
Recently, various devices have begun to be connected via networks, making it possible for devices to interwork with each other even when they are far apart. However, when setting up or checking the status of devices, it is necessary to travel to the site where each device is installed to check its status. This takes time and effort if the devices are located far from each other. As a labor-saving measure, there are cases in which devices are equipped with a display that can be checked at hand (touch panel, LCD, etc.), but achieving a balance between cost and effectiveness is difficult when only simple functionality is required.
OMRON contributes to the realization of simple and easy-to-use products by providing electronic components with integrated displays.
A single component improves visibility, operability, design man-hours, and cost.
