AtomTech, Inc. Acquires Robotics Innovator Capriol Systems

Acquisition strengthens AtomTech's automation solutions for manufacturing, logistics, food & beverage, and defense industries

AtomTech, Inc. today announced the acquisition of Capriol Systems LLC, a leader in autonomous robotics for industrial environments. The move expands AtomTech's ability to deliver advanced automation solutions across multiple sectors, including automotive, logistics, food & beverage, and defense.


Capriol Systems has spent the last decade deploying cutting-edge autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and industrial robotics in real-world manufacturing environments. Their innovative systems have been among the first of their kind to be put into production, including landmark deployments in North Carolina, famously known as the "First in Flight" state.

AtomTech provides full-scale controls system design, integrating data collection, traceability, storage, and supervisory control systems with manufacturing and warehouse operations. With Capriol joining the AtomTech family, customers will now benefit from a broader portfolio of robotics and automation solutions.

"After carefully reviewing advanced robotics offerings on the market, we chose Capriol because of their proven track record and forward-looking technology," said Shawn Gutierrez, CEO of AtomTech. "The name Capriol, meaning 'a playful leap,' was the inspiration for our internal project name, LEAP, symbolizing both hope and progress."

Thomas Post, Industrial & Autonomous Robotics Applications Specialist at AtomTech (formerly Capriol), added: "We are proud to have pioneered these robotics deployments and are excited to continue our journey with AtomTech. Together, we can push the boundaries of what's possible in industrial automation."

With this acquisition, AtomTech reinforces its commitment to shaping the future of industrial automation by combining innovation, reliability, and customer-focused solutions. By uniting AtomTech's expertise in control systems with Capriol's pioneering robotics, the company is well-positioned to help manufacturers and operators navigate an increasingly automated world with confidence and efficiency.

The piCOBOT Electric vacuum generator

The piCOBOT Electric vacuum generator

Fully electric, slim design and absence of air-tubing and cabling. The new piCOBOT® Electric heads towards another success for Piab's piCOBOT® program. A secondary effect of these achievements is the absence of entangling air tubing and cabling. It simplifies the installation, and as the new piCOBOT® Electric only needs a single connection on the cobot arm, the clean set-up allows a completely unrestricted movement. The new piCOBOT® Electric package will contain plug & play software to fit UR e-series cobots, but many other useful adaptations will be introduced in the coming year
