We are confident of achieving relevant traction in many industries through this initiative such as Packaging, F&B, FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, Special Purpose Machines, Automotive and Textile by catering to the advanced requirements of the manufacturing segment like productivity, quality, efficiency and safety" said Mr. Sameer Gandhi, MD, OMRON Automation, India.
