Dassault Systèmes, OMRON Team Up on Virtual, Real Integration

Dassault Systèmes and OMRON report their partnership to address challenges with information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). This collaboration enables manufacturers and machine builders to design, simulate, and deploy smarter production systems through a unified approach that merges virtual and real environments, the companies explain.

OMRON and Dassault Systèmes are creating a link between 3D design and simulation in the virtual world, and robots, sensors and production lines in the physical world.

The collaboration combines Dassault Systèmes’ 3D UNIV+RSES with OMRON’s Sysmac industrial automation platform, enabling manufacturers to design, simulate, validate and deploy production systems within a continuous virtual environment. At the core of the partnership is the virtual twin of production systems.

"Manufacturing is entering a new era. With OMRON, we are building living production systems, AI-driven, self-improving, and software-defined, where the virtual and physical worlds are fused into one continuous loop of learning. Our industry world models transform complexity into intelligence, making factories not just automated, but autonomous. This is how we reinvent industrial systems, from reactive to predictive, from rigid to adaptive and define the next frontier of manufacturing," says Pascal Daloz, CEO, Dassault Systèmes.

"Our partnership with Dassault Systèmes strengthens our ability to integrate the OT and IT worlds and provide customers with a holistic solution from simulated to fully implemented, intelligent production," said Motohiro Yamanishi, company president of the Industrial Automation Company (IAB), OMRON Corp.
