major social issue. This issue has a tremendously
negative impact on India’
s national economy.
Combining a number of different Omron
technologies, we have developed a sensor that
detects electricity theft. Now, we are working with
the government and power companies to spread
adoption of this sensor.
　We will continue to accelerate our initiatives in
renewable energy and electric vehicles for use in
housing and automotive markets. We also intend to
engage in growth fields, where we will contribute
solutions for the Earth’
s environmental issues.
The Electronic and Mechanical Components
Business produces relays and switches for use
in finished products such as home appliances,
automobiles, communications equipment,
machine tools, and more. The finished products
we support now reach markets throughout the
world with the growth of the emerging
economies.
　We listen to our customers and observe social
issues to uncover needs, creating components
that help improve the value of finished products.
As our smartphones, smart cars, and other devices
become even smarter,* components used in these
products must provide ever-higher levels of
performance and electronic sophistication. We view
this social change as a market need. As such, we
offer components that leverage both mechanical
technologies and sensing technologies (sensing
people, things, and the environment), contributing to
the development of the smart society.
　As one example, we are involved in smart energy
projects to bring better efficiency to electric power
industries in Asia and other emerging countries. In
India, which is beset by chronic power shortages,
electricity theft and the illegal use of electricity is a
