potential to change the way we live and work. Epson’ s smart glasses have the potential to change the way we
live and work. Offering a see-through display and hands-free navigation, they give Epson the opportunity to
create new applications and new value for both consumer and industrial markets.
Quality of Life
We will use high-accuracy sensing technology to create new value that improves the quality of life. Epson has
been building new businesses around innovative sensing products such as wristwatch-like GPS running
monitors and heart rate monitors, and we intend to continue to capitalize on our sensing technologies, which
combine semiconductors and crystal devices, and the technical expertise accumulated in the watch business, to
help enrich the lives of our customers. Going forward, we want to provide life-enriching wearable personal
devices in the health, sports, and medical fields, and toward that end are integrating cloud technology and
building a product development process that will be able to efficiently serve diversified markets. Meanwhile, in
the industrial sector, such as in the monitoring of building, equipment, and infrastructure soundness, we will
drive growth by creating innovative sensing solutions that provide insightful, useful information that would
otherwise be invisible.
Manufacturing
Epson has long contributed to factory automation in a wide range of fields with SCARA robots, compact
six-axis robots, and other precision assembly robots. With labor shortages looming and labor costs soaring in
emerging countries, Epson will use its advanced robotics technologies to help usher in next-generation
manufacturing by providing robots and production equipment that radically boost throughput in production
processes that have traditionally been difficult to automate.
