Witty Machines AG
Swiss startup founded 2024 building compact case packing robots for food producers, deployed at egg packing stations across Europe.
Witty Machines AG is a Zurich-based robotics startup founded in 2024 by Kenneth Blomqvist (CEO) and Johannes Pankert (CTO), both with backgrounds in robotics engineering. The company focuses on end-of-line automation for food producers, specifically case packing and palletizing — tasks that have historically been a bottleneck in food production lines.
The company's core product is a compact case packing robot designed to pack food items, initially eggs, into standard transport boxes and onto pallets. The machines are built to integrate into existing production lines without requiring facility redesign, and the company claims customers can be operational within a day of delivery. Witty Machines offers rental and trial options before purchase.
Deployed customers as of 2025 include f&f SA/AG, an egg trading company in the Canton of Lucerne, Ferme Prim'Vert, an egg packing station in France, and Ei AG, a Sursee-based egg packing station. The machines run at these facilities packing products continuously per shift.
The company uses off-the-shelf industrial robot arms combined with their own software to adapt to different product types and standard transport box formats. Their stated philosophy prioritizes mechanical simplicity and reliability over novel technology, describing the target product as a "trusty hammer" that works without constant maintenance attention.
Witty Machines is backed by European investors including Seedcamp, Cocoa, Illusian, Common Magic, and Greens Ventures. The team includes mechatronics, mechanical, and robotics engineers in addition to the two co-founders. Contact email is [email protected]. The company operates under the legal name Witty Machines AG, indicating Swiss AG (Aktiengesellschaft) incorporation.
The company targets food producers in Europe who need simple, reliable automation at the end of production lines, particularly where manual packing represents a labor cost and throughput constraint. Their website is published in English, German, and French, reflecting their European market focus.
