FY2010 Targets and Results

Innovation driven by social needs

FY2010 policy/targets FY2010 main results Rating
Safety and Security (Products/services for various sectors of society)
[Ensuring safety and security for production sites]
  • Offer flexible and comprehensive safety controls covering input to output to keep up with advancement of a control system.
  • Develop a next-generation platform for a comprehensive safety system that enhances both capacity utilization and safety.
[Ensuring safety and security for production sites]
  • Expanded the range of safety devices covering input to output and developed supporting technologies and platforms to offer safety devices in new categories. Promoted compliance with the world’s highest safety standards.
[Toward safer, more secure road transportation]
  • Continue tests with car manufacturers to verify the effectiveness of driving safety support systems (DSSS).
  • Introduce a detection system for pedestrians entering expressways.
[Toward safer, more secure road transportation]
  • Deployed a DSSS system in part of the Kanto region. Full-scale system implementation began in fiscal 2011 after the verification test phase.
  • Deployed a straying detection system at 8 interchanges and 16 lanes.
[Embedded personal computers that ensure equipment safety and security]
  • Continue R&D for adopting the CSO (common, standard and options) concept for RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) sensing technology and expand products employing this technology.
[Embedded personal computers that ensure equipment safety and security]
  • Adopted RAS sensing technology for factory automation equipment, train station systems and medical diagnostic systems, all of which demand a high level of reliability (preventive maintenance and fault tolerance).
Health (Products/services supporting lifestyle disease prevention/treatment)
  • Offer home- and professional-use products/services that help prevent, treat and manage lifestyle diseases globally. Continue to expand sales by meeting needs of emerging and fast-growing countries.
  • Increased the number of countries in which OMRON blood pressure monitors were sold. Countries in which OMRON blood pressure monitors are sold: 110 (as of Sept. 2011)
Environment (Products/services supporting a small carbon footprint society)
[Environmental solutions business]
  • Develop a business model for the upcoming Smart Community society.
  • Note: Participate in government-organized tests for Japanese Smart Grid to verify its feasibility.
[Environmental solutions business]
  • Participated in government-run verification tests for the Japanese Smart Grid, promoting the optimal energy control business.
[Environmental components business]
  • Spread anti-islanding control technology (AICOT) to promote deployment of photovoltaic power systems.
[Environmental components business]
  • Establishment of AICOT technology-based standardization was accelerated, resulting in a revision to the certification system in June 2011. Adoption of this system as standards for the Japan Electrical Machine Association is now being considered.
  • Release new solar power conditioners and related products to promote environmental components business.
  • Launched a new solar power conditioner series (K Series) and new color monitor model in July 2011. Plan is to accelerate the realization of Japan’s first AICOT-based Solar Town.
  • Expand the range of products for monitoring and controlling environmental conditions (5 models) based on the concept of "combining total environment visualization and energy conservation."
  • Developed a platform for sensing products that support manufacturing environment quality and energy conservation, and launched 3 new products including a temperature/humidity sensor in January 2011. Expanded applications based on the newly developed platform.
  • Develop products to popularize electric vehicles (EVs).
  • OMRON products were continued to be offered for new i-MiEV model from Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (cell monitoring units and current leakage sensors).
[Devices business for environmental applications]
  • Expand the range of DC power relays for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs).
  • Realize employment of control components for quick battery chargers for EVs.
[Devices business for environmental applications]
  • Developed next-generation versions to expand product ranges.
