Development of Present and Future Technical Personnel within Manufacturing
We support the development of technical personnel and careers in the manufacturing industry as we strive towards the realization of manufacturing that empowers each and every individual.
The manufacturing world faces transformative changes, with pressing issues overflowing in the field today. One question stands out: What is essential for sustainable manufacturing? The answer is clear — innovation springs from our people, a conviction solidified through our continuous customer dialogue.
Amid the growing importance of ESG management, the value of human capital is soaring. The disclosure of human capital information and demonstration of human resource development efforts are becoming imperative to enhance corporate value. Meanwhile, many companies face common issues in advancing human resource development: identifying and systematizing the necessary knowledge and skills, establishing continuous training systems across domestic and international sites, and adapting flexibly to changes with time.
In April 2023, we launched the Industrial Automation Academy (IA Academy) to meet these needs head-on. The IA Academy is a solution service to enhance the competencies and careers of those in manufacturing. Merging our robust in-house technologies and field expertise with our global presence, we offer a systematic IA education curriculum, providing comprehensive training solutions right at our customers' doorstep.
We believe developing technical personnel is not just for speeding up the evolution of manufacturing but enriching our lives globally. The IA Academy's journey commences now, always in partnership with our valued customers.
Steps to Solve Human Resource Development Issues
An IA Academy solution consists of five steps, including consulting, planning/implementing, and feedback.
Total support for the optimal IA education by transforming our experiences and achievements in the manufacturing field into value
The IA Academy transforms OMRON's technical, local, and training capabilities into value, providing solutions tailored to individual human resource development challenges.
Technical Capability in Resolving Individual On-site Issues
We possess over 200,000 control devices, including sensors and other input devices, controllers, motion drives, robots, and safety equipment. Moreover, we have experience and achievements of implementing control applications designed for individual customer objectives and scenarios.
Experience in-person, interactive training from our experienced engineers.
Training Capability Forged in Our Own Factories for Over 90 Years
For many years, we have practiced human resource development in manufacturing with the same approach as our customers. As proof of this, we offer over 1,000 courses globally, developing know-how and achievement by continuously engaging in dialogue with customers and responding with individual solutions.
