OMRON invested in Israeli startup Salvador Technologies. The investment amount was not disclosed, and the companies are considering collaborating on recovery-support services using technology that enables rapid recovery from cyberattacks and system failures at manufacturing sites.
OMRON announced on the 21st that it had invested in Israeli startup Salvador Technologies. The investment amount was not disclosed, and the investment was made through OMRON’s corporate venture capital (CVC) arm.
Salvador Technologies has specialized technology for recovering from cyberattacks and system failures in the fields of machine control and operational technology, and provides services to manufacturers and infrastructure operators.
The company automatically backs up on-site data during normal operations using dedicated equipment and validates the data’s integrity. When a failure occurs, it uses recovery data to boot on-site computers directly, reportedly reducing recovery times to several dozen seconds to several minutes.
OMRON is advancing “GEMBA DX,” an initiative to promote the use of data from manufacturing sites, and is considering collaboration through this investment on security-response and recovery-support services.
