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.

Featured Product
Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
