Orient Precision Advances Control Technology in Electronics Division
Orient Precision has advanced its power electronics and control technology accumulated through its switched-mode power supply (SMPS) business.
According to Orient Precision on August 11, the company will strengthen the competitiveness of its existing electrification parts and expand its business into core robot component sectors. At the end of March, Orient Precision completed the acquisition of the SMPS business from Orient Electronics and incorporated it into its electronics division. The company plans to enhance its electrification parts technology by combining the machining and mass production technology it has accumulated in the automotive precision parts business with SMPS design and circuit control technology, while aiming to enter the robotics field, which requires precision control capabilities.
SMPS is a device that reliably converts and supplies power needed for electronic devices and automobiles, with circuit design and precision control technology as its core elements. As digital-based technology has become more sophisticated in recent years, the importance of control algorithms and software capability has also increased significantly.
The company plans to strengthen its existing analog-based control technology with digital-based solutions and apply it to the robotics sector, which is being reviewed as a new business. Orient Precision also intends to establish a foundation for developing core robot components by combining its precision machining, gear manufacturing, and mass production capability from automotive parts with the power electronics and control software expertise of its electronics business. The company is considering robot joint modules as its entry point into the robotics market.
Orient Precision plans to gradually secure technology related to robot joint modules by integrating the materials, precision machining, and gear manufacturing technology accumulated through the production of automotive precision parts with the control software and network technology of its electronics division.
The company also intends to apply the digital control technology developed for robotics to automotive electrification components. By doing so, it aims to elevate its technological capabilities in automotive electronics and power electronics and strengthen the technological synergy between its existing automotive parts business and the new robotics business.
