What Asyril does
Asyril SA is a Swiss industrial automation company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Villaz-Saint-Pierre, Switzerland, that designs and manufactures flexible part feeding systems for automated assembly, kitting, machine tending, sorting, inspection, and bin picking. Its core technology stack combines patented 3-axis vibration platforms (the Asycube family, available in five sizes plus a cleanroom variant) with the EYE+ vision-based smart control system and the Asyfill smart hopper (integrated MEMS sensing for constant part dosing). The portfolio handles parts from 0.1 to 150 mm and includes the PYK+ intelligent bin picking system launched in 2024, which combines 8-camera vision, AI trained directly from customer CAD models, and integrated vibration repositioning in Flow and Lift variants.
The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales of Asycube feeders, EYE+ and EYE+ XTD controllers, Asyfill hoppers, and PYK+ systems, distributed via 62 authorized distributors across 35 countries on three continents and supported by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany, the United States, Japan, and Singapore. Free robot plugins for 13+ major brands (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Universal Robots, YASKAWA, etc.) and four industrial fieldbus protocols (EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, CC-Link, ProfitNet) reduce integration friction for machine builders and robotics integrators. Revenue is supplemented by training through the Asyril Academy, free feasibility studies as a demand-generation funnel, and a multi-language website with an online product configurator.
Asyril is a privately held company majority-owned by German mid-market private equity firm capiton AG since March 2022, operates with more than 70 employees, and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. Customer mix spans industrial automation integrators, electronics manufacturers, and pharmaceutical/medical device producers served through the Asycube Clean 230 cleanroom line, with no public revenue disclosure available.

Asyril product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Asyril designs and manufactures flexible feeding systems for industrial automation, centered on its patented 3-axis vibration Asycube feeders combined with the EYE+ AI-based vision system. These products automate the orientation and singulation of bulk parts for robotic pick-and-place, addressing applications where conventional bowl feeders cannot handle complex geometries. The portfolio is extended by the Asyfill smart hopper and PYK+ bin-picking software for fully autonomous robotic handling cells.
Product overview
Asyril offers a comprehensive flexible feeding ecosystem built around three core technology pillars: (1) Asycube flexible feeders with patented 3-axis vibration technology for parts 0.1-150mm, available in 5 sizes and a cleanroom variant (Asycube Clean 230); (2) EYE+ and EYE+ XTD smart control systems using vision and AI to locate parts and transmit pick coordinates to robots; (3) Asyfill smart hoppers (S/M/L sizes) that regulate parts delivery. The portfolio also includes PYK+ and PYK+ Flow/Lift bin picking systems combining vision, AI, and vibration for automated bin picking. Supporting software includes Asycube Studio, EYE+ Studio, and PYK+ Studio for configuration and recipe creation. Free robot plugins (ABB, FANUC, Universal Robots, YASKAWA, etc.) and fieldbus options (EtherCAT, EthernetIP, CCLink, ProfitNet) enable integration with any automation environment.

Asyril competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- FlexiBowl (CNC Design): Italian maker of a flexible vibrating bowl feeder combined with vision for parts feeding in automated assembly. Direct competitor to Asyril's Asycube platform, targeting the same machine builder / system integrator customers with a similar "one feeder, many parts" pitch.
- RNA Automation: UK-based manufacturer of bowl feeders, linear feeders, and centrifugal feeders for industrial parts feeding automation. Competes with Asyril for the same component-feeding use cases, particularly in traditional vibratory bowl applications across Europe.
- DEPRAG: German manufacturer of feeding and assembly automation systems, including screw feeding, part feeders and automated assembly cells. Overlaps with Asyril in automated part feeding and assembly, with a similar DACH industrial customer base.
- Automatic Feed Company (AFC): US-based supplier of bowl feeders, centrifugal feeders, and parts feeding equipment used in automated assembly. Directly competes with Asyril in industrial parts feeding, particularly serving North American machine builders and OEM automation lines.
- OnRobot: Danish maker of end-of-arm tooling and robotic accessories for collaborative and industrial robots, including grippers and vision systems. Adjacent competitor serving similar integrators, with overlapping vision-based part detection that competes with EYE+ at the integration layer.
Emerging players
- Photoneo: Slovak/Czech 3D vision and AI company specializing in bin picking and robotic vision. Competes with Asyril's newly launched PYK+ bin picking system in the vision-guided random bin picking segment for industrial automation.
- Mech-Mind: Chinese provider of 3D cameras and AI software for industrial robotic applications including bin picking. Competes with Asyril's PYK+ vision-based bin picking system, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.
Broad incumbents
- FANUC: Global industrial robot manufacturer with deep automation portfolio. Asyril lists FANUC among its free plugin partners, but FANUC's installed base and potential to integrate native or partner feeding systems make it a broad incumbent that could move further into Asyril's niche.
- ABB Robotics: Global industrial and collaborative robot manufacturer operating across factory automation. Asyril's free ABB plugin indicates partnership, but ABB's scale and integrated automation portfolio make it a broad incumbent whose closer move into feeding would compress Asyril's standalone position.
- KUKA: German-headquartered global industrial robot and automation systems integrator. KUKA is one of Asyril's free plugin partners but is also a broad incumbent in factory automation that could expand further into the feeding and parts handling sub-systems adjacent to its robots.
