In addition to the medical field, Canon is also working to develop its industrial equipment business into a new pillar to support the Company in the future.
We have high expectations for this business, particularly for sensors that serve as the "eyes" of robots.
For example, Canon has successfully developed a sensor with 120 million pixels, capable of making out the numbers on a license plate of a car one kilometer away. This technology can also be used in the space industry.
In brief, we would like to realize industrial applications for sensors that act as the eyes of robots.
Additionally, Canon has a wide range of industrial equipment, including IC steppers, LCD aligners, OLED display manufacturing equipment, and die bonders.
In the future, automation equipment will be necessary for various industries and, to respond to this need, we are working to enhance this technology.
