In Nanjing, an advanced manufacturing base in the Yangtze River Delta region, the "Intelligent Transformation and Digital Transformation" strategy is accelerating the local industrial intelligent transformation. To help enterprises seize the opportunities of transformation, the Nanjing stop of the 9th Factory Digital Transformation and Implementation Roadshow Seminar, hosted by China Industrial Control Network, was grandly held in May. Focusing on the practical implementation and scenario innovation of intelligent manufacturing transformation, the seminar attracted numerous industry experts and leading enterprises to gather together and jointly explore new paths for transformation.

At this seminar, Omron, a globally renowned enterprise, became the spotlight. With the theme of "Empowering Production Sites with Brand-new Values," Omron made a stunning appearance with its core general-purpose product sample cabinets and scenario-based solutions. Through portable prototype demonstrations, Omron vividly showcased the flexible applications of general-purpose products in intelligent transformation, providing local enterprises in Nanjing with rapid-to-implement intelligent upgrade support and bringing professional insights and innovative impetus to the entire industry.

Among them, the switch button sample cabinet, a new product making its debut, drew significant attention. This sample cabinet integrates general-purpose products such as switch power supplies, relays, temperature controllers, switch buttons, and safety devices, enabling it to adapt to various usage scenarios. Its compact design meets the needs for the miniaturization upgrade of control cabinets, effectively saving installation space. Meanwhile, with an IP67/IP65 protection rating, it can easily cope with harsh environments such as dust and oil stains. In addition, its electrical life of hundreds of thousands of times allows it to meet the usage requirements of high-frequency operation scenarios.

Apart from the switch button sample cabinet, multiple other general-purpose product sample cabinets were also displayed on-site. The control cabinet incorporates products such as automation controllers, temperature controllers, relays, and power supplies, which can meet the needs of small-scale installations, saving space and reducing the burden of equipment maintenance. The safety sample cabinet combines products such as safety controllers, light curtains, and switches. With the core concept of "flexible construction, safe site," it realizes the informatization of state quantities and enhances the level of intelligent safety protection in industrial sites. The sensor sample cabinet integrates various sensors such as photoelectric, proximity, fiber-optic, and IO-Link sensors, enabling real-time monitoring of light reception and timely warning of abnormalities to ensure stable production operations.

These sample cabinets fully demonstrated Omron's rich product lineup, attracting many visitors to stop and experience them. Omron's technical experts engaged in in-depth exchanges with the visitors on the path selection, key technology applications, and effects of factory digital upgrades. After the experience, one visitor commented, "These solutions don't have complex architectures, yet they can effectively solve the pain points in our daily production."

It is reported that after the Nanjing stop of the roadshow, Omron will continue to advance the implementation of its innovative solutions and successively visit key manufacturing cities such as Changsha, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, and Shijiazhuang. Relying on its "Sensing & Control + Thinking" technology, Omron will, through the flexible combination and innovation of general-purpose products, assist more enterprises in achieving the sustainable development goals of quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, and cost reduction, thus contributing to the industrial intelligent upgrade.
