Swiss Bystronic Acquires Robot Software Company Isochronic

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swiss automation company Isochronic has been integrated into Bystronic. Isochronic specializes in high-speed robotic systems and sheet metal processing software, and will continue to operate independently under its own brand after the integration; its technology will be used to expand Bystronic's automation portfolio and support Bystronic's strategy focused on integrated manufacturing solutions, in response to customers' higher demands for productivity, flexibility, and efficiency. Founded in 2020 and headquartered near Lausanne, Isochronic develops robotic systems for automated material handling and sorting, capable of simultaneously picking and placing parts, with a technical approach that combines innovative robot kinematics with its self-developed software platform.

This acquisition also grants Bystronic access to Isochronic's proprietary software and technology rights, enabling continued technological development and integration into Bystronic's automation portfolio. Isochronic's expertise allows Bystronic to handle a wider range of specifications in automated sheet metal sorting, including large and heavy sheet metal parts; at the same time, modern software architecture and robotics capabilities complement the portfolio. The combination of the two companies' expertise will accelerate the development of next-generation automation systems and strengthen Bystronic's product offering for users in highly automated production environments.
