The industrial segment has consistently been at the forefront of innovation.
Take a look back through history – from the initial Industrial Revolution, which focused on mechanization, steam, and hydropower, to the rampant adoption of mass production made possible by assembly lines in the late 1800s, to the rise of automation and advanced manufacturing in the 1960s and 70s. Today, we are experiencing the fourth Industrial Revolution – one powered by connectivity and cyber-physical systems.
Each industrial revolution has built on the strengths of the previous, implementing new technologies to achieve advanced functionality. Today, with the groundwork laid, Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are positioned to advance industrial applications like never before.
While each industrial application has its own unique challenges to mainstream adoption, there are a few unifying needs: connectivity, and reliable, efficient power.
At OmniOn Power, we work closely with customers to understand their unique power challenges and to design and develop smart, connected, high-density and highly efficient power conversion technologies to help address ever-evolving industrial design constraints. Our innovative products and service expertise help keep customers’ industrial applications up and running when needed most.
Propelled by advancements in 5G wireless communications, innovations in data centers and data management, and advancements in industrial automation equipment, this new Industrial Revolution is enabling the technologies of the future. In the Industrial 4.0 age, powering manufacturing equipment, systems, and networks is less about “specification” and more about “innovation” that breaks through traditional manufacturing logistics and design barriers. From large-scale utility operations and backup power systems to specialized industrial applications, including advanced manufacturing, robotics, and electric vehicle battery charging (to name a few), power is at the center, enabling the innovations that will propel the next Industrial Revolution and shape future smart cities.
