ShanghaiMay 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Omron Corporation officially launched the second phase (SF 2nd Stage) of its long-term vision “Shaping the Future 2030 (SF2030),” outlining a five-year growth blueprint from 2026 to 2030. Facing a complex and volatile global environment, Omron will continue to focus on three major social issues, deepen trust-based relationships with customers, and drive sustainable business growth by advancing the “GEMBA DX (on-site digitalization)” transformation and optimizing business portfolios and resource allocation.
In this new phase, Omron will further deepen its presence in the Chinese market, combining on-site digitalization capabilities with the needs of local industrial development to empower smart manufacturing, health management, and green development, thereby supporting China’s high-quality industrial growth and social value creation.
Driving New-Quality Industrial Development through GEMBA DX Transformation
Entering the second phase of SF2030, Omron will continue to focus on three core global social issues: population aging, climate change, and widening wealth gaps. It will uphold the three overarching goals of “achieving carbon neutrality,” “realizing a digital society,” and “extending healthy life expectancy,” leveraging its automation strengths to address social challenges while creating both social and economic value. The company will implement a “balanced offense and defense” business strategy, increasing investment in key businesses and core technologies while continuously advancing structural reforms to enhance operational efficiency and value creation capabilities.
Centered on “Trusted Growth,” Omron further clarifies its customer trust-centric approach by comprehensively promoting GEMBA DX transformation, turning long-accumulated data capabilities into a key engine driving business growth. Against the backdrop of accelerating changes in the manufacturing industry, companies face rising demands for efficiency, quality, and flexible production, while issues such as labor shortages and evolving skill structures become increasingly prominent. Omron leverages the deep integration of “data + on-site” as a breakthrough to drive visualization, intelligence, and autonomous optimization of production sites.
Supporting this transformation is Omron’s comprehensive advantage built across three dimensions: equipment, data, and technology. At the equipment level, Omron possesses a diverse range of automation devices widely used in global production sites with high market share, establishing a solid on-site foundation. At the data level, it relies on extensive on-site data and practical experience accumulated through long-term close engagement with customer operations, continuously deepening its understanding of production processes. At the technology level, by integrating and analyzing data and experience, it transforms them into valuable information and solutions, driving continuous on-site optimization and improvement.
In the Chinese market, this transformation path closely aligns with the direction of “new-quality productive forces.” Omron will leverage GEMBA DX as a focal point to empower key areas such as smart manufacturing, health management, and green development: driving dual improvements in production efficiency and quality on the manufacturing front, supporting chronic disease management and digital healthcare in the health sector, and promoting energy conservation, emission reduction, and low-carbon operations in the green transition, continuously providing actionable innovative technologies and solutions for China’s high-quality development.
Focusing on Key Businesses, Fully Empowering Transformation and Growth
To further unlock growth potential, Omron has globally identified 13 core businesses driving future development, including controllers, general-purpose sensors, industrial automation data solutions, blood pressure monitors, home-use electrocardiographs, and digital health. It will systematically advance transformation across three dimensions: “value enhancement,” “frontline empowerment,” and “resource allocation.”
In terms of value enhancement, the focus will be on strengthening six core technologies related to key businesses, improving R&D investment efficiency, and achieving more reliable sustainable growth. Meanwhile, a new frontline empowerment model will be built through “partner × digital transformation” to enhance customer engagement, expand customer touchpoints, seize growth opportunities early, and drive business development. In resource allocation, R&D funds, frontline departments, and development talent will be prioritized for core businesses to boost business momentum.
In the Chinese market, Omron will continue to strengthen local R&D capabilities and on-site technical support systems, accelerating response times to customer needs. Additionally, through deep collaboration with the local industrial ecosystem, it will jointly develop innovative solutions better suited to China’s practical application scenarios, driving sustained growth of local businesses.
Working Together to Shape a Sustainable Future
The Chinese market has always held a significant position in Omron’s global strategic landscape. As it moves into the second phase of SF2030, Omron will continue to seize new opportunities from China’s high-quality development, actively integrate into the process of industrial structure upgrading, and empower the transformation and upgrading of key industries with on-site digitalization as the main thread. At the same time, the company will further deepen collaboration with local industrial chains and ecosystem partners, promoting the deep integration of technology, products, and application scenarios, achieving synergistic improvement of corporate development and social value while serving the needs of the Chinese market.
Ms. Xu Jian, Executive Officer of Omron Corporation and Director and General Manager of Omron (China) Co., Ltd., stated: “The Chinese market demonstrates strong momentum in industrial upgrading and digital transformation, serving as a crucial engine for Omron’s global innovation and transformation. Looking ahead, Omron looks forward to, under the guidance of the new phase of the SF2030 long-term strategy, deepening on-site digital transformation capabilities, collaborating with industrial chains and partners to explore the integration path of digitalization and sustainable development, and moving together toward a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable future.”
