Innovate manufacturing by co-creating flexible high-throughput production systems that reduce environmental impacts

Epson has maintained the top share¹ in the global market for SCARA robots thanks to an extensive lineup of robots that combine high speed and precision with adaptable, functional programming software. Responding quickly to customer needs requires a platform that allows us to flexibly expand the product lineup. Epson has been investing in the development of such a next-generation platform.

Going forward, we will look to strengthen our customer touch points using digital technology and to expand the value we provide by combining our robot technology with various services.
To meet the fast-growing demand for automation, we will identify and directly approach potential customers in key industries and tailor products to their needs. We will also explore possible expansion into new areas with project teams assigned strategic themes.

Epson's journey with robots began with the in-house development of small precision robots for assembling watch movements. Even today, we utilize these robots within the company, and we carry out product development from the customer's perspective. The high-speed, high-precision industrial robots are highly regarded not only for their performance but also for Epson's ability to provide comprehensive service and support globally.

We will further expand the scope of automation in the factory. In addition to assembly and transportation by robots, we are also involved in parts production and inspection. For example, in inspection, we propose spectroscopic cameras that can distinguish colors more delicately than the human eye, thus meeting a variety of needs.
