About DENSO WAVE

DENSO WAVE is the DENSO Group company responsible for industrial robots, automatic identification and controllers sold outside the group’s own car plants. DENSO began developing robots in 1967 to automate its own automotive-parts factories, began external sales in the early 1980s, and today reports more than 130,000 of its robots installed worldwide. The robot line-up concentrates on compact assembly automation: small vertical articulated robots (VS, VP and VM series), horizontal articulated and Cartesian models, and the COBOTTA collaborative robot, all run by DENSO controllers such as the RC8 series and programmed through the WINCAPS and ORiN software environment, which lets third-party devices connect to the robot cell through a common interface.

Alongside robots, DENSO WAVE is the company that invented the QR Code in 1994, and it sells barcode and RFID readers, handheld terminals and IC-card equipment, so a single supplier covers both the robot cell and the traceability layer around it. The company is headquartered in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, with sales and support subsidiaries across Asia, Europe and the Americas. For partners, DENSO WAVE is a specialist source for small, fast assembly robots and for combined robot-plus-identification solutions in electronics, medical-device and automotive production.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
