Gandhi's words were well substantiated at the Omron booth put up at Elecrama. Themed "Pure Possibility", the booth depicted Omron's forte in automation industry by providing solutions which not only detects, comprehends, and act on information as humans do, but are also able to intelligently adapt to their environments and to the needs of humans.

One of the most notable displays at the booth is FORPHEUS- the Ping Pong Robot created by Omron. Adding one more dimension to the theme of Pure Possibility, the robot is a practical manifestation of the concept of "harmony between humans and machines".  Designed on Omron's core technology of "Sensing & Control + Think", the world-renowned robot plays ping-pong not only with greater accuracy but also returns the ball to allow its partner a longer rally - that is setting in place a harmony and not competition.

Talking about the future prospects, Takehito Maeda, MD, OMRON Asia Pacific, Pte Ltd., Industrial Automation Business, said, "India is occupying a much more prominent position in the global manufacturing setup. The rising levels of disposable incomes, urbanization, rural demand, and financial inclusion are some of the other key factors expected to have a positive effect on the manufacturing sector in the country.  And as manufacturing grows in India, so will the demand for factory automation which creates and opportunity for us playing a much bigger role in the lives of people of India, making it an important growth region for Omron in Asia Pacific."

The visitors once inside the booth get to orient themselves with all the key offerings of Omron Industrial Automation business such as live demos showing the real time applications in varied fields, robots depicting the solutions for better efficiency, total automation as the one stop solution provider and IoT depicting that Omron solutions are future ready and are aligned with the emerging concept of Industry 4.0.
