OUR HISTORY
"It's time to fundamentally change the point of motion and redefine it for the digital age. For more growth and to bring the future of robotics closer every day."
Start-up myths usually begin in a garage. For Synapticon, it was an attic in the Swabian Alb. This is where electrical engineer Martin Schwarz, mechanical engineer Nikolai Ensslen and computer scientist Andrija Feher discovered tremendous potential - the combination of electronics, mechanics and software.
Synapticon was founded in 2012 and spent the first few years focusing on compact embedded computers to accelerate AI software, the first cloud-based embedded development environment and an innovative electronic module kit for robot developers. At that time, Synapticon financed itself with engineering services.
The move to Filderstadt near Stuttgart and the establishment of a branch in Silicon Valley in 2016 marked the strategic realignment: away from services and towards products. From then on, the focus was on the area with the greatest demand and innovation potential - industry and motion control.
Since then, Synapticon has been passionately developing advanced technologies for the point of motion, taking the development and manufacture of its customers' products to the next level. In 2018, the SOMANET Node series was the first product premiered, followed in 2019 by the SOMANET Circulo product series.
The company is headquartered in Schönaich, Baden-Württemberg, with additional branches in Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Belgrade.

Our team
OUR DNA
We are technology enthusiasts coming together from all over the world, at home in the most diverse forms of engineering and management. With a lot of creativity and extraordinary technological courage, we want nothing less than to outwit physics. We fuel innovation and progress in robotics and automation. Anything is possible.
It was "The Traitorous Eight" who inspired us to found Synapticon. Eight engineers left their former employer in 1957 to set in motion the unparalleled technological development of recent decades. Without them, there would be no integrated circuits, no microprocessors, no Apple - and no Synapticon.

NOT SOUND,
NOT SMOKE
Somanet was inspired by the somatosensory nervous system, which is responsible for stimulus perception and muscle control. Motion Control maps the complexity of our motor cortex, the movement control system of our brain. Finally, Synapticon (Greek synapse = connecting and Latin con = together) stands for the connection between the analog and the virtual world, the dynamic whole, the Integrated Motion.
Sustainability requires mindfulness. For employees who invest their passion in Synapticon. For customers who invest their trust in our products. And for investors who invest their money in our innovative strength. In the best sense of economic sustainability, we are committed to generating sustainable value for everyone involved.
