Omron's all-cash deal for Vermont-based industrial PC maker OnLogic adds edge computing hardware to its sensing, control and robotics portfolio, targeting data-intensive and physical AI applications in manufacturing.

Omron has agreed to acquire US industrial computer manufacturer OnLogic and its parent company Interlogic for $675 million in an all-cash transaction, expanding the Japanese automation group's capabilities in edge computing and physical AI. The deal is expected to close in or around January 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Interlogic will become a wholly owned Omron subsidiary, while OnLogic continues to operate as an independent business.

Key takeaways

  • Target profile: Founded in 2003 and headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont, OnLogic designs and manufactures configurable industrial computers for automation, edge AI and IoT applications. It employs around 300 people across seven locations, including two manufacturing sites.
  • Financials: OnLogic posted sales of $154.2 million in 2025, up from $122.3 million in 2024, with adjusted EBITDA of $27.1 million. More than 90 percent of sales come from the Americas and Europe.
  • Strategic fit: Omron plans to combine OnLogic's industrial PCs with its own sensing, control, motion and robotics technologies to supply greater computing capacity for data- and AI-intensive industrial applications, and to develop physical AI platforms pairing edge hardware with high-precision control.
  • Continuity: OnLogic retains its brand, direct-to-customer sales model, Vermont headquarters and management team led by CEO Sean Larkin.

For manufacturers and integrators, the deal signals a push to bundle edge compute with control and motion hardware as factory systems become more connected and data-driven. Omron also cited cross-selling opportunities across both customer bases and named North America as a key growth market.
