Recently, Shimadzu Instrument (Suzhou) Co., LTD. General Manager Kawamura Masahiro and his delegation visited Omron to visit and exchange. Zhu Zuojiang, general manager of Omron Automation (China) Co., LTD., and Mizuno Nobuji, general manager of Omron (Shanghai) Co., LTD., jointly received the two sides in lean production, plant management and other aspects of in-depth discussion.

Zhu Zuojiang, general manager of Omron Automation (China) Co., Ltd. introduced the company from the aspects of history, social contribution, technological innovation, value creation and transmission. He said that Omron Automation is innovating the concept of i-Automation! Under the guidance of our company, we have created cutting-edge technologies and innovative applications, continue to provide high-value solutions for our partners’ production site issues, and look forward to more extensive cooperation with Shimadzu in more fields.

Nobuji Mizuno, general manager of Omron (Shanghai) Co., LTD., introduced in detail the factory operation, production system, lean production management practices, etc.

Shimadzu Instruments (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. general manager Masahiro Kawamura, after understanding Omron’s history and achievements in the field of industrial automation, gave Omron high praise. Then, Shimadzu’s operating situation, product structure, development direction and so on are introduced. As part of the company’s “manufacturing internationalization”, Shimadzu Instrument (Suzhou) has become one of Shimadzu’s global production bases by introducing Shimadzu’s production technology and quality management system.

After the presentation, Mr. Kawamura and his delegation visited the Omron Automation exhibition hall and the Shanghai factory to gain an in-depth understanding of Omron’s core technologies and innovative applications, and factory production management.

As social issues such as aging and lack of highly skilled technicians/skilled workers continue to intensify, innovation in manufacturing sites will be restricted, and how to improve the QCD of factories with intelligence and automation has become a production topic for Shimazu and other companies. During his visit to the Automation exhibition hall, Shimadzu learned more about Omron’s cutting-edge technologies and innovative applications. High-speed 3D sorting, man-machine collaboration palletizing, AI visual inspection, etc., help to improve production efficiency, improve product quality, and provide reference and reference for Shimadzu factory automation and intelligent upgrading.

Omron Shanghai has always been adhering to the concept of “quality first”, through the digital collection and analysis of production data, accelerate on-site improvement. In terms of lean production practice, the Shanghai factory realizes the overall visualization of the production line through real-time data collection and analysis, and controls the QCD in the production process to achieve a quality defect rate of “0”. Through the visit to the Shanghai factory, Shimadzu deeply felt Omron’s lean improvement and production management ability in the production site, which provided many valuable references for the management of Shimadzu factory.

After the visit, the two sides had a discussion and exchange on lean production related topics. Omron uses many years of accumulated FA field control experience and advanced technology to solve the Shimadzu problem with intelligent manufacturing practice, help intelligent manufacturing take root, and realize the continuous evolution of the production site.

With this exchange, Omron and Shimadzu further consolidated the good cooperation between the two sides. Omron has always been adhering to an open and positive attitude, and looks forward to carrying out multidimensional in-depth cooperation with Shimadzu, becoming a mutually beneficial and win-win strategic partner, and jointly making greater contributions to the realization of high-quality development of manufacturing industry.
