Main Solutions

Automation of Manufacturing Using Robots Developed from a Customer Perspective

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.

Providing Solutions That Innovate Manufacturing

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.
