STRENGTHS AND POSITIONING IN
THE INDUSTRY
We developed the world’s first unmanned
train station system in 1967, based on our
original automation and laborsaving tech-
nology. Another milestone was achieved in
1969 with development of the world’s first
cash dispenser using a magnetic card,
marking Omron’s entrance into the infor-
mation equipment business, including
financial terminals. Today, based on tech-
nological expertise accumulated over 30
years, the Omron Group has assumed a
leading position in business areas essential
to modern life, such as traffic management
systems and card reader modules. Across
diverse fields that include train station man-
agement, financial service, traffic control,
and retail, the Group is steadily addressing
further expanding social requirements in
terms of cashless payment systems,
automation, IT integration, and safety.
Besides providing products in those areas,
we are also putting to good use our exten-
sive solutions-based experience for overall
development of our business.
