Next generation of temperature controllers embrace the era of AI
Omron’s E5_C series substantially raised the bar for temperature control in the past five years thanks to its user-friendliness, high precision and highly reliable control. Now, the E5_D series - the next generation of controllers built on the successful E5_C platform - is designed to achieve optimal and automatic temperature control without human intervention. In fact, from now on all typical adjustments made in the field by experts are automated using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The E5_D is based on the E5_C platform so the basic features are the same (50msec control period, universal inputs measurements Thermocouples/Pt100/linear, and more) but with a draw-out structure to make maintenance even easier.

Omron Develops AI-Equipped Machine Automation Controller
Omron Corporation (HQ: Shimogyo-Ku, Kyoto. CEO: Yoshihito Yamada) announced today the development of a machine automation controller equipped with a machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. The first of its kind in the industry, this AI-equipped controller achieves real-time integration between the programmable logic controller function, which controls production lines and equipment changing in microseconds on factory floors, and the AI processing function. Using Omron’s extensive range of sensors to monitor the status of equipment and processes, the controller safely regulates theme before an irregularity can occur by predicting unusual movements of machinery based on the causal model that the built-in AI has been made to learn.
