Nikkei Asia reports that Omron announced plans to acquire U.S. industrial computer maker OnLogic for about $675 million. Omron aims to combine OnLogic's computers with its control equipment to build a physical AI platform that can operate production machinery autonomously. The acquisition would also give Omron access to OnLogic's relationships with about 2,000 midsize factory-automation companies in North America.
