TOKYO, Oct 13 : Japanese manufacturer Omron will buy US industrial PC firm Onlogic and its parent company, Interlogic, for $675 million, the company said on Tuesday.

The acquisition is intended to develop Omron’s physical artificial intelligence services within its industrial automation business, the company said in a news release.

• Onlogic is a developer, manufacturer and seller of industrial PCs, with which Omron hopes to combine its high-precision control technology to develop physical AI platforms and expand its customer base in the US.

• Onlogic’s parent, Interlogic, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Omron. Onlogic will continue to operate as an independent business, retaining its brand and current management team, the release said.
