Your partner for innovative intralogistics solutions
We are HMI experts, innovative entrepreneurs, technology perfectionists and digital natives. CAPTRON is a modern, medium-sized family business with four decades of experience in the development, production and distribution of sensors for complete sensor systems. With CAPTRON Solutions, we are extending our service portfolio to include individual software development and integration, process consulting (lean management) and project management.
This is a logical transformation step from hardware manufacturer to additional solutions and software service provider. CAPTRON is thus able to provide customers with comprehensive digital solutions from a single source – in which software and hardware are closely linked.
All from one source
CAPTRON offers seamlessly integrated hardware and software solutions for warehouse logistics and is evolving from a hardware manufacturer into a comprehensive solution and software provider.
We are...
Experts in human-machine interaction
We have been decisively influencing human-machine interaction since 1994 with the invention of the capacitive touch button for door opening for buses and trains and the operation of machines and systems.
We have now perfected the capacitive touch button and developed the ideal Pick-by-Light for manual picking.
Ambitious entrepreneurs striving for innovation
We live the startup culture – only with 40 years of experience. We question established systems and constantly strive for improvement. We love the challenge of finding the best solutions for our customers and partners.
"Be curious and creative, question the status quo and look at things from a different angle," is our motto.
Perfectionists in technology and quality
Innovative solutions and high-quality sensors are what sets us apart. For us, quality and state-of-the-art innovations are not just a requirement – we also live it.
Our products are used globally in all weathers and all ambient temperatures – and have been for decades without failures and with minimal maintenance.
Digital natives and IT enthusiasts
As a dedicated team of project and product specialists, software developers, marketers and leaders with a strong affinity for IT, we develop order picking solutions for intralogistics at two locations in Germany and Poland.
We see ourselves as a partner for manufacturing SMEs and offer process consulting and individual software development to accompany our customers to the next level of digitisation.
