en.Wedoany.com Reported - In June 2026, Omron Automation (China) Co., Ltd. launched the Smart Power Supply S8AS2. In manufacturing sectors such as the automotive industry, production lines are increasingly advancing toward automation, electrification, and informatization, leading to a rise in the number of devices within control cabinets and increasingly complex wiring. The S8AS2 integrates three functions—power supply, protection, and connection—into a single device, reducing the on-site workload for equipment and control cabinets while improving electrical work efficiency.
Product advantages cover aspects such as design and selection, assembly and wiring, startup, maintenance, and reduced environmental burden. During the design and selection phase, the S8AS2 is equipped with a GaN chip and adopts a ceramic heat dissipation design, achieving efficient, low-heat operation and significantly reducing component size to save control cabinet space.
The integrated design of the S8AS2 eliminates the cumbersome process of separately selecting and matching power supplies, protectors, and terminals, making selection more convenient.
During the assembly and wiring phase, device integration reduces the number of components and installation and wiring man-hours. According to the company's survey data from September 2025, man-hours are reduced to approximately one-tenth. The use of Push-In Plus terminal blocks significantly reduces wiring workload; the company's actual measurements show that man-hours are about 60% of those for screw terminal wiring.
During the startup phase, the display section allows easy confirmation of power circuit operation, while the electronic circuit protector (CP) tripping characteristics stabilize the circuit during power startup and equipment anomalies.
During the maintenance phase, the S8AS2's digital display allows confirmation of all power circuit statuses without additional measurements. The device can predict replacement timing, thereby eliminating the need for periodic inspections.
In terms of environmental burden, the S8AS2 offers higher efficiency, reducing power consumption within the control cabinet and helping to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Based on an estimated 240W output condition, calculated at 8 hours/day × 365 days, with 1Wh = 0.4591g CO2 (the company's electricity-CO2 emission conversion baseline value), corresponding emission reductions can be determined.
Omron's S8AS2 Smart Integrated Power Supply provides a new solution for the electrical design, manufacturing, and maintenance of control cabinets, offering improvements in space savings, man-hour reduction, status transparency, and predictive maintenance, helping customers address challenges in production line upgrades.
