About Kinetica
Building sovereign automation capability from Australasia.
Who we are
Kinetica Systems Pty Ltd is an R&D-driven manufacturer developing deployable robotic automation for industrial packing and palletising. We design, build, and deploy from Australia and New Zealand — with our motion control stack, embedded firmware, machine vision, and AI-assisted toolpath planning all developed in-house.
We exist because traditional automation doesn’t work for operations that need to flex. Fixed lines are expensive, slow to install, and painful to change. Labour is scarce and getting scarcer. The gap between what factories need and what integrators deliver is widening. We’re building into that gap.
What we believe
Automation should be deployed like capacity, not installed like infrastructure. It should be fast to commission, easy to retarget, and priced on output. The factory of the future isn’t a greenfield smart factory — it’s the existing shed with better tools in it.
We believe the next generation of manufacturing capability should be built in Australasia, not imported. Sovereign control over production technology matters — for resilience, for jobs, and for the ability to compete on the global stage.

Where we are
Kinetica Systems is incorporated in Australia (NSW) with operations spanning AU and NZ. Our near-term focus is seasonal packing and palletising operations across New Zealand, with expansion into Australia and the Velox Newcastle advanced manufacturing hub on the roadmap.
Technology
Full-stack in-house: motion control (Foundry.Node), embedded firmware (Nexus), machine vision, AI-assisted toolpath planning, cloud telemetry, and operator UI. Built on .NET, C, Vulkan, and STM32.
Backed by
Pre-seed stage. Supported by IGP (Industry Growth Programme) grant applications, strategic advisors, and early commercial partnerships in NZ food and beverage processing.
