Recently, the 2022 P&G Electrical Automation Seminar held by Procter & Gamble (China) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "P&G") was held in Guangzhou. Omron Automation (China) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Omron") was invited to attend the meeting and gathered with representatives of engineering, manufacturing, R&D and other departments of P&G factories to exchange and discuss the topics of P&G in the development of digital intelligence and the future technology trends of the industry.
Procter & Gamble is a well-known consumer goods company, operating more than 300 brands of products sold in more than 160 countries and regions. These include Fabric & Home Care, Hair & Beauty, Baby & Home Care, Health & Healthcare, Food & Beverage, etc.
With the development of China's manufacturing industry in the direction of high-end, for large consumer goods manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble, the intelligent and digital production process is becoming more and more urgent, and the demand for digital factories is becoming more and more vigorous. At the same time, due to the improvement of production efficiency and labor costs, there is a growing demand for AI, IoT, and Robotics, which are cutting-edge technologies for automation. Under the wave of digital intelligence, P&G is also facing the issue of digital and intelligent transformation.
In the face of the demand for intelligent upgrading, how can Omron help industry partners move towards manufacturing innovation? This is based on Omron's ever-evolving manufacturing innovation concept, i-Automation!. Omron defines the ever-evolving concept of i-Automation!: i-Automation!-Next, a sustainable automation that coexists with the global environment and stimulates a sense of fulfillment in work while driving the manufacturing industry. It consists of three near-future manufacturing concepts: "automation beyond humans", "high collaboration between man and machine", and "digital engineering innovation", all of which are centered on the continuous evolution of the three "Is".
In terms of "high collaboration between man and machine", Omron provides a wealth of robot products and solutions; Mobile industrial robots help logistics and handling in the factory; Collaborative robots help applications such as visual inspection, loading and unloading; In terms of "beyond human automation", Omron has core technologies such as vibration suppression and temperature control for the packaging machinery industry; In terms of "digital engineering innovation", we provide digital traceability solutions, etc. Through the innovative applications and solutions created under the ever-evolving i-Automation! concept, P&G empowers its digital and intelligent upgrade.
At the meeting, Yuan Zhenyang, the Fourth Industry Development and Management Division of Omron Automation (China) Co., Ltd., shared the theme of "Empowering Intelligent Manufacturing and Contributing to a Healthy Life", and analyzed in detail Omron's value solutions and practical experience for Procter & Gamble's business areas. Through the introduction of solutions such as human-machine collaborative palletizing, robot loading and unloading, and intelligent handling, the core applications of Omron in solving the shortage of manpower in the production process and improving production efficiency were demonstrated. In addition, core technologies such as AI visual inspection and digital traceability solutions were also shared to help improve production quality, enhance the level of intelligence, and achieve manufacturing innovation.
The exhibition focused on a series of innovative applications developed based on the ever-evolving manufacturing innovation concept i-Automation!, such as quality inspection, production safety and other solutions that meet P&G's production challenges, and strive to improve production efficiency and quality simultaneously.
The mobile robot application MoMA attracted many professionals at the venue. Through the integration of mobile robots and collaborative robots, it can be grabbed and placed autonomously, replacing manual loading and unloading work, and realizing flexible handling of the production line. After the introduction of the factory, labor costs can be saved and production efficiency can be improved.
The 2022 P&G Electrical Automation Symposium came to an end with a lively discussion. Through the comprehensive product line, application cases and prototype display of this exchange meeting, P&G has a deep understanding of Omron's core technology and innovative applications, and looks forward to further detailed discussions after the meeting. Under the guidance of i-Automation!, an evolving manufacturing innovation concept, Omron will give full play to the advantages of core technologies and solutions, and work with partners to create an intelligent future.
