Although OMRON entered the industry in 1997, it was the last company in the industry to enter the market. From the beginning, OMRON's service, which utilizes sensor technology, one of its strengths, to download URLs of images taken by entering the e-mail address of a cell phone into the machine, which can then be downloaded and saved, has been well received by customers.
