Quickly respond to diversifying needs with a common foundation.
The globalization and development of information technology has made it easier for anyone to transmit and obtain various information. As a result, companies are required to develop new products and services to meet rapidly changing and diversifying needs.
OMRON is working to create a platform of electronic component configurations in response to the various needs.
Speedy product development through platformization
Platformization is the concept of developing the necessary minimum to meet the needs while maintaining the foundation that can be shared*1.
Platformization support examples
Relay
High capacity / high temperature compatible / inrush resistance / long service life / explosion-proof / sealing performance / low power consumption
Switch
Operating load / actuator / terminal specifications
Connector
Terminal number expansion / plating / terminal shape
Sensor
Slot width / output form / optical design / operation indicator / algorithm
Use "A" as a platform
- Common basic structure and materials used for external dimensions
- Common molds, production equipment, etc.
Speedily develop only "B" to meet your needs
- Development and design of only those that need to be changed
*1. The parts that can be shared differ depending on the product. The above is just a concept, and the way of thinking may differ depending on the development theme.
