Omron said it plans to combine OnLogic’s industrial computers with its precision-control technology. Reuters reported that Interlogic will become a wholly owned subsidiary, while OnLogic keeps its brand, management team and independent operations.

The transaction follows Omron Robotics’ May collaboration with Comau on industrial automation services. The acquisition price is confirmed, but the commercial performance of the combined physical-AI platform remains to be demonstrated.
