Las Vegas has always been the place where the future of gaming is unveiled. At this year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E), one exhibitor may surprise the crowd: OMRON Electronic Components. Known worldwide for industrial automation and precision engineering, the company is bringing its technology to a very different stage - the high-energy, experience-driven world of gaming and entertainment. The message is clear: OMRON’s innovations aren’t just powering factories anymore; they’re ready to transform how players interact with machines.

From Factory Floors to Casino Floors
OMRON’s reputation was built in manufacturing plants, where reliability, accuracy, and efficiency are non-negotiable. But now, the Japanese tech leader is taking that same DNA to a new arena. By showcasing at G2E 2025, OMRON is signaling that industrial-grade solutions can deliver more than performance - they can create memorable player experiences and drive the next generation of gaming hardware.
The Tech That Will Turn Heads
Visitors to OMRON’s booth will see a lineup designed to push boundaries:
- HVC-P2 sensors - advanced human presence detection that allows machines to power down when no one’s nearby, then instantly wake up as a player approaches. Energy savings and smarter machines rolled into one.
- Touchless switches - enabling hygienic, intuitive interactions without the need to physically press a button.
- Brushless DC motors - delivering quiet, efficient motion for more reliable and immersive hardware.
- See Through Panel (STP) - transparent, illuminated displays that merge aesthetics with usability.
- Modernized “bash buttons” - a nostalgic staple of casino gaming, redesigned with a fresh edge.
Sustainability Meets Experience
What sets OMRON apart isn’t just the hardware - it’s the philosophy. By embedding sensors and smart controls, the company helps operators cut down on wasted energy while enhancing the player experience. A slot machine or arcade cabinet that “sleeps” until a player walks up is not only futuristic, it’s also cost-saving and environmentally responsible.
In a sector where flashing lights and adrenaline-charged design have long been the focus, OMRON is injecting something new: sustainability as part of the entertainment equation.
Why It Matters
Global Gaming Expo is the premier stage for game technology worldwide, and OMRON’s presence shows how deeply the lines between gaming and industrial tech are blurring. Players demand more than just fun today - they want comfort, hygiene, interactivity, and even eco-consciousness. Manufacturers will need partners who can deliver all of that at scale. That’s where OMRON steps in.
More Than Components
OMRON’s move into the gaming space is more than a trade show appearance. It’s a declaration that the company sees gaming as fertile ground for growth, innovation, and cross-industry synergy. Whether it’s casino machines, arcade systems, or hybrid digital-physical experiences, the future will rely heavily on the very things OMRON excels at: sensors, motors, smart controls, and energy efficiency.
At G2E 2025, OMRON isn’t just exhibiting - it’s reimagining what gaming machines can be: interactive, efficient, and sustainable. The future of play is about to get a serious upgrade, and OMRON is determined to be part of the story.
