Robot Industry and IDECIMPROVING SAFETYIDEC has consistently led the world in robotics safety, including developing
the industry’s first enabling switch with three-position functionality (deadman switch) and supplying a third-generation emergency switch featuring
revolutionary mechanism.
By promoting Safety 2.0, a next-generation concept that enables humans
and machines to collaborate seamlessly and efficiently without barriers, IDEC
delivers a wide variety of products such as safety laser scanners, safety lightcurtains, safety interlock switches, and forced guide relays, to ensure safety
for robot systems.

ENHANCING QUALITY
Throughout our 75-year history, IDEC has continued developing and improving
our products, and we constantly strive to improve usability and quality.
The IDEC brand has earned the trust of numerous customers in the robot
industry, and many of our products are used actively around robots. We
continue to provide products with the quality required by our customers, andcontribute to the quality of robot systems.

SERVING THE FUTUREIDEC is working with the robotics industry to respond to the accelerated
proliferation of IoT, workplace diversity, and other societal changes. We will
respond to market needs with, for example, new products to add to safety theelement of "peace of mind", for which there will be even greater demand in the
future, as well as new products that boost utilization of commercially-available
tablets. IDEC will continue to identify robotics industry trends and supply ourcustomers with viable solutions, contributing to the future of humankind.
