Hiroki usi, who joined Omron Eroe as Chie Exective Ocer in Aril this ear, sas his ambition is
to bring next generation technolog into the Eroean market, tting Omrons know-how, exerience and sstems
within reach o Eroean machine-bilders. We soke with him abot his vision and ideas
or achieving these ambitions.
Wha did yu ask yusel when yu becae CEo?
M main interest is in heling Eroean machine-bilders to sta
strong in a changing world, becase ever cstomer I have soken
to sees the challenges ahead. We mst hel them to kee innovating
and redcing costs. That wa the can seize the oortnities in
develoing markets like China where or long-standing resence is
going to hel them while deending their local bsiness.
Hw can nex-geneain echnlgy help achine-buildes?
It all srings rom the ideas o the machine-bilders them-selves.Ssmac, or examle, was based on cstomer demands or a latorm
thats scalable and exible, and that enables the creation o ast,
ecient machines. Or vision is to hel or cstomers engineers to
trn their ideas into realit the smart wa.
Culd yu explain wha yu ean by uning ideas saly
in ealiy he sa way?
Machine atomation is all abot int-logic-ott technolog
so we make connectivit as simle, ast and reliable as ossible.
Machine-bilders onl need to ocs on the creative idea, mixing and
matching comonents withot worring abot hierarch or othercommnication isses. Were niqe in oering this seamless int
logic- ott combinations. O corse, i everthing comes rom
Omron it will be the astest combination available on the market.
Wha ae ons he cus pins?
We aim to rovide the most reliable sort in the bsiness, and
deliver it aster and more recisel than anone else. We can do
this b removing all nnecessar waste, taking ot elements that
dont add vale or or cstomers and their cstomers. As a logical
conseqence, this will imrove the seed o or resonse and bring
the cost down - these are all benefts that can be directl transerred
to or cstomers and hel make them more cometitive.
I yu wee an on cuse penial cuse, hwwuld yu ineac wih us?
Its an interesting qestion, becase we mst alwas think rom the
cstomers ersective. The frst oint is to realize how eas it is to
get access to or atomation exertise. On ever level, Omron is
the most oen atomation artner in Eroe. I I were a cstomer I
wold defnitel bring Omron in at the start o a roject, right at the
concet stage, becase I know or engineers can hel cstomers
to create soltions to secifc challenges. The are in the feld ever
da in all kinds o indstries. So, or examle, know-how gained on
an atomotive lant in Sweden might be exactl whats needed
or a ackaging machine in France. Machine-bilders can se thisexerience to sharen their ideas or tomorrows machines: it will
hel to make eqiment that s tre-roo, and that delivers the
cometitive advantage in todas globalized world.

Flexibilit and versatilit are the two main drivers or the evoltion
o ackaging machiner. In articlar, the need to change ormats
qickl, or to handle dierent rodcts on the same line, has led
more innovative manactrers to develo new soltions in terms o
machiner laot, materials and technologies.
Italian manactrer Mesic is jst sch a coman. Secia-lizing
in the design and constrction o integrated end-o-line ackaging
machiner, Mesic looked at what the market was demanding,
and established artnershis with secialist sliers to meet
those demands. In articlar, it has investigated new materials and
innovative technologies that enable it to oer soltions that are more
ecient in terms o rodctivit and energ saving.
S, pack, bx, cde: he end--he-line ea
One o Mesics most recent advances is the develoment o an
end-o-line secondar and fnal ackaging soltion or acks o tea.
This is a dedicated line which incororates transort o the acks,
aggregating dierent rodct tes and ormats, and atomaticall
lacing them in dierent acking cases.
The ke isse is that the acks containing dierent avors o tea
each coming rom a dierent rodction line mst be roerl
and accratel laced into searate cases or desatch. So when
the dierent teas arrive at the Mesic end-o-line lant, the are frst
scanned b an Omron FQ vision sstem, which identifes the dierent
rodct tes. The data is sent via an Ethernet link to the ick-and-
lace sstem, which takes the acks o tea and ts them intodierent cases. The oen cases are frst marked with a Data Matrix
code, and then atomaticall sealed: fnall, a second Omron FQ-CR
vision sstem reads the code rinted on the case, to identi the
contents and ensre accrate desatch.
Develoed in collaboration with Omron, the end-o-line lant
benefts rom the know-how and rodct hilosohies o both
comanies. One o Mesics core strengths is its abilit to oer not
onl standalone machines bt also comlete lines. These all-in-one
sstems, born ot o the need to rn mltile rocesses within the
same area, are designed in co-oeration with the cstomer to take
into accont the secifc ackaging and the sace limitations. The
Mesic machines make se o innovative materials sch as carbon
fbre and have ewer moving arts. This makes them lighter, which in
trn enables the se o smaller motors to redce comonent costs as
well as saving energ to 60% comared with traditional machines.
Mespic, with headquarters in northeast Italy, has worked with Omron to develop
innovative all-in-one packaging solutions that end-users now demand, and that
successul machine makers strive to provide. A recent example is this end-o-line
plant or secondary and fnal packaging o tea.

Mesic has ond an ideal artner in Omron, which shares its
cstomer-ocsed ideals. Francesca Gaetani, packaging project
Leader at Omron Electronics Ital, exlains that Or atomation
hilosoh was to rovide a soltion based on the new NJ controlleron an EtherCAT network. This architectre allows s to take a niqe
aroach in meeting diering reqirements in terms o comlexit,
while ensring cost saving. We achieved this becase the NJ machine
controller - scaled in dierent sizes - handles the logic I/O as well as
the machine movements. The EtherCAT network - on which the entire
Ssmac latorm is based rovides the seed o data exchange
necessar to ensre alication exibilit.
In the case o the tea-ackaging soltion, the NJ501 machine
controller manages the conveors carring the acks o tea, as well
as servo drives that oerate the casing machine, the ick-and-lace
modle, and the aggregation o the dierent acks. Mesics case-
acking sstems are all to-loading, and se a Cartesian-axis gantr
with both motors fxed, to redce weight and thereore wear - on
the moving arts.
Extensive and continos collaboration rom Omron has rovided
the exibilit and versatilit with which Mesic has been able to meet
the secifc and comlex needs o each cstomer. The technologhas delivered several cstomer benefts, inclding:
a method o consistent commnication

Denis Oerther, in charge o the prchasing Deartment at
Mecaack, sees obvios benefts in otimizing line control:
A single platform reduces the number of components
and the wiring and programming times in the workshops.
It also reduces stock volumes, and the variety of spareparts needed.
Mecaack, a secialist manactrer o rimar and secondar ackaging machines

Omron has enabled the coman to base its concet on a single line controller,
a strategicall imortant ste orward, with which Mecaack intends to satis
cstomer exectations both in its French home market and in the rest o the world.

As art o this roject, one o Mecaacks objectives is to streamline

80 % o Mecaacks cstomers are in the ood and beverage sector, bt the coman also manactres
machines or the harmacetical, medical, and sl chain (secondar ackaging) sectors. Larger
ood manactrers and large or medim size sermarkets will also trn more and more to rimar
ackaging. One third o Mecaacks trnover resentl comes rom France, bt there is a strong desire
to develo the comans global activities, a strateg which can be sorted b Omrons extensiveinternational network.
According to Serge pitois, deloing a single controller sch as the Ssmac latorm is the onl wa
to create a comlete ackaging line which can meet exectations in terms o erormance, and o
retrn on investment and costs. Mecaack integrates a seqence o atomation rodcts and Delta-2
robots develoed internall, with motors and control b Omron - that ft into the single line-controller
concet. Ethernet connectivit means the controller can also commnicate with the mlti-articlated
robots sed in the case-acking stage.
This consistenc in the seqential nctions and motion control is mch areciated becase it allows
shorter ormat changeover times. It also allows remote maintenance and diagnosis o the comlete line
throgh a single commnication entr oint. These are signifcant benefts or both the end ser and
Mecaack.
