What Automationstechnik does
Automationstechnik is a Polish industrial automation integrator founded in 1999 and headquartered in Kraków, specializing in the design and construction of custom machines and assembly lines for production process automation. The company employs 150+ specialists and engineers with 25 years of operational experience and has completed 2,500+ projects. It primarily serves manufacturers in the automotive, electronics, and household appliances verticals, with additional exposure to FMCG, pharmaceutical, medical devices, window fittings, and solar/photovoltaic industries. Customer references include multinational enterprises such as Winkhaus Polska and Nidec Motors & Actuators Poland.
The company's technical platform combines proprietary software with resold hardware partner products. The sole proprietary product is AT Trace, a traceability system with configurable web interface, ERP/MES integration, and real-time production monitoring. Hardware is sourced through certified partnerships and exclusive distribution agreements: Certified Partner status with Bosch Rexroth (aluminum profiles, VarioFlow chain conveyors, TS-series pallet transport systems, ActiveMover linear motor transport, Active Shuttle AMRs, APAS collaborative robots), exclusive Polish distribution of Bloksma (workstation lifts, trolleys, supermarkets) and Orgatex (visual management, KANBAN, floor markings including the new Vector system), and reseller relationships with Siemens, Yamaha Robotics, Fimotec-Fischer, FMW Friedrich, Mäder Pressen, K.Hartwall, Bedrunka+Hirth, and BS Rollen.
The business model is primarily project-based professional services for custom automation lines, supplemented by hardware resale of partner products, software licensing for AT Trace, and recurring service/maintenance contracts including 24/7 support, machine safety assessments, metalworking, and waterjet cutting. Pricing is quote-based for enterprise solutions with catalog pricing available for certain standardized items (e.g., Mäder Pressen manual presses at 355–635 EUR). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with channel partner distribution, supported by industry event participation (TOOLEX, Warsaw Defense Expo, Smart Industry Day) and content marketing.
