What automatica y control numerico sl does

Automatica y Control Numérico SL (ACN/AYCN) is a privately held Spanish engineering company, founded in 2000 and headquartered in the PICA industrial estate in Elda (Alicante), that designs and integrates custom robotics, machine vision, and industrial automation systems. Its core offering spans custom-tailored robot cells, servo-driven automation, and artificial vision systems for quality control, inspection, code reading, and product counting, built on microelectronics and high-precision mechanical components. The company also markets a portfolio of internally developed products — including the Chamfer fabric-cutting machine, the Robim collaborative-robot labeling system, the DIPP and SMARTPLANT foot digitizers, the EDEVIMA portable vibration-detection device, the MAEMPER composite-material punching tester, and biodegradation testing equipment — alongside full turnkey custom project delivery covering mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic design through installation and training.

AYCN's revenue model combines one-time custom-project sales, hardware sales of pre-developed products, and renting/leasing options on selected equipment such as Chamfer, an explicit attempt to lower automation-adoption barriers for small enterprises. The customer base is small and medium-sized industrial firms, primarily in Spain and the European Union (Italy, Poland, UK), with additional users in Morocco, India, Australia, and Argentina; the go-to-market is direct, project-based sales with inbound leads via the corporate website. Distribution is almost entirely direct sales, supplemented by participation in public R&D programs.

The company funds its R&D pipeline primarily through Spanish and European public grants — IVACE (Generalitat Valenciana) programs (DIGITALIZA-CV, INNOVA-CV) co-financed by EU FEDER — rather than equity investment. It is a core partner in the Interreg Sudoe REMAIN consortium (2024–2026) developing multi-robot remanufacturing systems for the footwear industry, and maintains academic training agreements with UPV, UA, UMH, and VIU for robotics and machine-vision internships. The company is organized as a Sociedad Limitada (NIF B53562872) with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition history.
