Omron’s Viewpoint Industrial

Productivity can be further improved by bringing more visibility to data on the production floor.

Example: “Timeline” application to manage time series of each production line

Improved productivity

by 30% even for a

mature mounting line

Visualized the data related to unplanned production stoppages

Identified the reasons by utilizing our

expertise in analysis

Decrease in oxygen

concentration due to

intense comings and

goings

Increase in nitrogen

concentration

Possibility of

mistakes

Omron’s Viewpoint Social

It is important to have ”eyes” to assess driver status, in addition to the “eyes” looking out of the vehicle.

Eyes looking out of the vehicle Eyes looking inside the vehicle

＋

Collision safety system, automatic braking, cruise control, etc.

Sudden onset of a disease, an abnormal situation, drowsy driving, etc.

Attentiveness


“Killer App” in the Automated-Driving Future Social

Automated driving

Manual driving

Switch

Sensing technology to measure the level of driver attentiveness

Estimation algorithm for “probable time of the return”

How much does a driver concentrate

on driving?

How many seconds it takes to back to normal driving?

Is it good to switch from automated

driving to manual driving?
