Un viaggio condiviso verso la produzione flessibile. 
(Foto: Omron, PR046)La produzione flessibile rivolta ai fabbisogni presenti e futuri dei clienti riceve molta attenzione dall'industria manifatturiera che ha aderito al progetto Industria 4.0. Gli ambienti di produzione poco flessibili hanno i giorni contati e i rapidi cambi formato sono il prerequisito per evitare che la produzione di prodotti personalizzati non influisca pesantemente sull'efficienza globale degli impianti (OEE). Omron è stata pioniere nelle soluzioni di successo per la realizzazione della produzione flessibile nei settori degli autoveicoli, farmaceutico, alimentare e dei beni di consumo.
