Our Commitment to
Innovation
Innovation means doing things differently. It requires inspiration and the freedom to explore what’s never been done before. Here, we achieve what you didn’t think was possible, turning problems into advanced technology solutions.
“What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.”
Simon Sinek, British-American author
A Space to Create
Our dedicated team and showcase Innovation Center in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, demonstrate our strong commitment to leading the way. Two additional innovation hubs have been established in Munich, Germany, and Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Our innovation facilities, which cover 30,000 sq ft, provide ample space for collaborative efforts with partners and technology leaders. We actively participate in designing, constructing, and testing our ground-breaking inventions, proofs of concept, and prototypes within these hubs.
Mission
Our Mission in the Innovation Center is simple: to support ATS in achieving the core value drivers by accelerating the transformation of new ideas into cutting-edge products, processes, and services, enabling us to deliver world-leading manufacturing solutions that set the industry standard.
Culture of Innovation
ATS has a strong history of innovation. Not only does each automation project bear the mark of this culture and skill, but it is also demonstrated through our creation of world-leading technology platforms such as SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™, SmartVision™, Symphoni™, and Illuminate™.
Our success is rooted in our people and the ideas that they put forward. We will continue to foster an open culture of respectful listening and dialogue, facilitate opportunities for people to share and develop concepts, and provide safe spaces and time to explore and experiment. We believe that this winning culture will ensure our innovation legacy.

Artificial Intelligence
Problem
The lack of trained operators and the increased complexity of automation has created a skills gap in the industry. To manage labour shortages, many companies are collecting and transferring data to the cloud, but can anyone generate actionable insights from this data to improve overall machine OEE?
Our Solution
ATS has developed the first phase of ML-driven insights for our Illuminate data collection platform. Without manual intervention, this software monitors over 60K data points, learns the normal machine performance and can automatically notify the customer when specific elements of the machine are deviating.
Our Latest Innovations
LED UV Curing
Problem
The introduction of environmental laws prohibiting the use of mercury and establishing targets around ozone elimination has made traditional curing methods unacceptable.
Our Solution
To address this challenge ATS developed and patented a new process using LED technology. Multiple customers and industry bodies validated this process and it will reduce the operating costs of curing equipment by ~23%.
Our Latest Innovations
Syringe Insertion with Symphoni™
Problem
Current high-speed pre-filled syringe insertion machines (>300ppm) rely on numerous tools (20-up) across multiple stations, resulting in complex and resource-intensive operations.
Our Solution
Using Symphoni technology, a revolutionary high-speed manufacturing solution that combines modularity, standardization, speed, versatility, and precision, with digital twin capability. Leveraging innovation, ATS developed a solution that reduced tooling by 90% (4 tools vs. 40). The amount of cycle time dedicated to critical process work increased from 40% to 70%, allowing for downstream quality checks to be directly integrated into the station.
Our Latest Innovations
SuperTrak PHARMA8™
Problem
With most pharmaceutical applications currently relying on synchronous platforms, there is a growing demand for the implementation of linear motion technology in sterile/aseptic and washdown environments.
Our Solution
ATS developed SuperTrak PHARMA8™. The platform is certified for ISO 5, grade A environments. It is VHP and cleaning agent compatible. The design also allows for maintaining laminar airflow at the product while in operation.
Our Latest Innovations
SuperTrak Collaborative™
Problem
There is an increasing market need for collaborative technology that supports low-volume, high-mix production. Can ATS embed this technology into its linear platforms (SuperTrak) and support more flexible, safe and operator-friendly solutions?
Our Solution
ATS has successfully developed the first SIL3 TUV-certified collaborative linear motion platform, SuperTrak Collaborative. This innovative solution is compatible with all G3 systems and can be retrofitted to any existing system.
