About Drico
Drico is an engineering company based in Switzerland, specialized in the development of customized drive and motion control systems. Since 2025, the company has operated under the name Drico and is the successor of Acuitas AG; the team comprises key former Acuitas employees with many years of industry experience. The range of services covers the entire development process from drive train design and system architecture through mechanical design, power electronics, motor control and embedded software to system integration, commissioning and lifecycle support. In addition, Drico offers testing and validation, precision calibration, sensor integration and sensor fusion (gyroscopes, accelerometers, encoders, GNSS) as well as support, maintenance, upgrades and modernization of existing Acuitas systems. The standard product portfolio includes single-, dual- and three-axis motion simulators for the calibration of motion sensors (e.g. INS), a compact 2-axis motion simulator for MEMS sensors and a pan-&-tilt drive for precision camera platforms. Customer industries include automotive, defense, consumer electronics and mining, as well as applications such as video tracking and drone protection.
