SPI Automation
Utah-based automation integrator formed from a 2022 merger; designs robotic cells and custom systems for food, medical, and manufacturing industries.
SPI Automation is a custom robotics and automation integration company headquartered in North Salt Lake, Utah (650 Taylor Way, North Salt Lake, UT 84054). The company was formed in April 2022 through the merger of Precision Automated Technology (founded 1994) and Syscon Automation (founded 2002), combining more than 20 years of partnership into a single, more capable organization. Together the merged entity draws on over 30 years of cumulative automation integration experience.
In November 2024, SPI Automation was acquired by The Grote Company family of brands, expanding Grote's robotic applications, process controls, and line integration capabilities. SPI Automation's engineering team includes 15+ Controls Engineers, 5+ Mechanical Engineers, a UL-listed control panel shop, and a full machine fabrication, assembly, and commissioning team. Core offerings include custom robotic cell integration (featuring FANUC CRX collaborative robots and OnRobot end-of-arm tooling), custom automation design and build, build-to-print fabrication, HMI/PLC programming, process control systems, discrete manufacturing automation, engineering consulting, and ongoing service and support.
The company serves a diverse set of industries including food and beverage processing, automotive, medical devices, general manufacturing, and warehouse/logistics. Their food and beverage engineering team specializes in processing raw materials through to packaged finished goods, with hygienic design considerations. SPI Automation also maintains a dedicated robotics enablement program called 'Robotize' aimed at helping small and mid-size manufacturers adopt automation.
Products offered include complete robotic workcells, control panels, and integrated conveying/vision systems. The company's Crunchbase profile is publicly accessible for funding and acquisition history.
