This acquisition is a very interesting acquisition from several points-of-view. This shows Siemens commitment to factory automation. It hints at entry into the mobile automated robotic space (see the analysis by Vanessa Lopez, Research Analyst, Interact Analysis at the bottom of the story). Even though I don’t see as much in the US as I once did, Siemens is still one of the most active automation suppliers.

I first met Opto 22 back in the early 90s when I searched for a solution to connect one of my Allen-Bradley devices to a Modicon PLC and discovered their solid state relays. I could at least send digital signals. (Note: I didn’t get the job.) Later I stopped by their booth at a trade show where they wore black arm bands in memoriam for the demise of the PLC.
