ABOUT ATC INNOVATIONS
ENGINEERING TURN KEY AUTOMATION SINCE 2009
ATC Innovations delivers complete automation and machine building solutions for the industrial and automotive sectors. The company operates from a 3000m² mechanical, electrical and machine building facility in Rosslyn Pretoria, where our in house engineering teams, manufacturing divisions and assembly areas work together to develop, build and test every system under one roof.
We design and develop turn key automation systems for many industries with a strong focus on materials handling systems. Our work ranges from simple stand alone units to large integrated production systems. Each project is supported by our mechanical design, software design and electrical design teams who work closely with our fabrication and installation teams to deliver systems that perform reliably in real production environments.
Our facility includes full metal fabrication capability, a CNC machine shop and dedicated electrical and control panel manufacturing. With this integrated approach, our teams manage the entire process from concept and design through manufacturing, assembly, testing and on site installation, supplying machines and handling systems built for continuous operation in demanding industrial and automotive settings.

Our Journey
ATC Innovations began its journey in 2009 with a commitment to developing reliable automation solutions tailored to the needs of industrial and automotive operations. The company started with a small team and a clear focus on building systems that could support real production environments. As demand grew, we expanded our capabilities and continued strengthening our engineering depth and manufacturing capacity.
Over the years, this growth allowed us to take on increasingly complex projects, moving from early custom machines to advanced materials handling lines and complete automated cells. Each stage of our development was shaped by continuous improvement, investment in technical skills and the consistent delivery of systems that met the performance standards required by large production facilities.
Today, ATC Innovations supports major plants and industrial operations across the country, building long term relationships by supplying production ready systems designed for durability, consistency and dependable real world performance.
We identified a strong need in the market for machines and materials handling systems designed specifically for each customer’s operational requirements. Every project is developed uniquely for the client’s product handling and assembly processes, ensuring the system matches their workflow from start to finish. Our systems are built to a world class standard, backed by a two year warranty and controlled through our ISO certified processes.
Years Of Experience
TURNKEY SOLUTIONS
Providing Quality Services Through
Design Engineering
ATC Consulting provides mechanical design and development through SolidWorks 3D, creating full three dimensional models, detailed component designs and complete manufacturing drawings. Each design is supported by structured project management to guide the full manufacturing process and ensure every stage is delivered with accuracy.
We provide electrical design and development using E-Plan and PC WIN I/O Draw Tool, producing clear control layouts and complete documentation for each system. This combined mechanical and electrical capability ensures that every project is designed with precision and ready for seamless production.
Software Design & Development
Mechanical Manufacturing and Fabrication
ATC Innovations handles complete mechanical manufacturing and assembling for automation and machine systems. Our facility supports full steel fabrication through laser cutting, plasma cutting and waterjet cutting, allowing us to produce accurate components for a wide range of applications. We manage all metal welding processes including Mig welding, Tig welding, Arc welding and CO2 gas welding to ensure strong and consistent structural integrity for every build.
We also provide a full range of surface treatment options such as QD paint, powder coating, electro plating and anodizing. This allows each project to be finished to the required durability, appearance and operational standard. With these combined capabilities, ATC Innovations delivers production ready components and assemblies that support reliable performance in demanding industrial and automotive environments.
Focused Expertise for Every Build.

WORKING PROCESS
THE PROCESS BEHIND EVERY SYSTEM WE BUILD
Our project process is built on clear communication, practical collaboration and strong in house capability. Every system moves through a structured path from early concept to detailed engineering, full manufacturing and final commissioning. This keeps the project running smoothly and gives you consistent results on site. After installation, we continue to support you with maintenance, upgrades and additions to keep the system performing as your operation grows.
Consultation and Concept
Every project begins with a consultation to understand the product, workflow and operational requirements. Our team then develops the initial concept using SolidWorks 3D and electrical planning tools to outline the proposed system layout and control structure.
Engineering and Manufacturing
Once the concept is approved, we complete the full mechanical, electrical and software design. All components and assemblies are manufactured in house through CNC machining, steel fabrication, welding and surface finishing. Control panels and electrical systems are built and prepared for full integration.
Assembly, Installation and Commissioning
The system is assembled and tested in our Rosslyn facility to confirm performance and reliability. We then install the system on site, complete all PLC programming and communication setup, and carry out final commissioning to ensure stable and continuous operation on the production line.
