Industrial Solutions Business
In the industrial solutions business we will employ advanced mechatronics to create robots and production
systems that dramatically increase productivity. Epson’ s track record and a reputation for reliability have
made us the market share leader in SCARA (selective compliance assembly robot arm) and 6-axis
robots. Meanwhile, Epson textile printers and digital label presses are steadily gaining market traction. We
will develop industrial solutions into a future core growth business by employing advanced mechatronics,
including unique inkjet and intelligent robot technologies, to create industrial robots, inkjet systems, and
other industrial solutions that dramatically increase productivity.
Sensing Systems Business
The sensing systems business will use high-precision sensors to create new value to improve people’ s lives.
Over the past few years, we have been reaching into Epson’ s storehouse of component and sensing systems
technologies to build new businesses around innovative sensing products, such as wristwatch-like GPS
running monitors and pulse monitors. We will continue to develop these types of products as new growth
drivers, integrating them with cloud-based systems to provide innovative solutions. Sensing solutions that
convert raw sensor data into a practical, visual format have applications in areas such as sports, personal
healthcare, and medicine, where they can be used to measure performance and monitor personal health, and
in industry, where they can be used to monitor the health of facilities and infrastructure.
