IoT Initiatives
Achieving IoT, in which devices are connected to the internet, involves sensors for detecting
conditions, MCUs for processing sensor information, and networks for sharing and transmitting
data. For many years, ROHM has been working on developing products and proposing solutions
for creating sensor networks across the entire ROHM group.For example, one area where IoT is
expected to make a significant impact is long-term equipment monitoring for machine health and
infrastructure. Analyzing sensor data and creating algorithms to detect abnormalities will make it
possible to predict breakdowns and accidents before they occur. We believe that new systems
and services such as this will emerge as networks continue to evolve and expand, driving
ROHM to leverage its resources and technologies to contribute to meeting the needs of the
market and society.
