Exhibit 99.8

September 16, 2015

Dear valued Adept customers and partners:

This morning we announced that Adept entered a definitive agreement to be acquired by OMRON, a global leader in the field of automation based on its core sensing and control technology. We are excited about this transaction and for the future of Adept. The uniting of Adept’s intelligent robots and autonomous mobile solutions with OMRON’s strength in the marketplace is a great combination for our employees, customers, suppliers, partners, and stockholders. Adept and OMRON share a similar vision for the future of automation solutions. We believe that OMRON brings tremendous resources, a broad product and solutions portfolio, and a global sales and services reach with scale to accelerate the worldwide adoption of our automation solutions.

Adept will continue to develop our current software-based solutions that allow manufacturers to maximize productivity, safety, flexibility and product quality. As part of OMRON, we will also have access to greater financial and human resources, and be able to combine to create a broader product and solutions portfolio. We expect the transaction to close in late October 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and regulatory approvals. Until the closing, we’ll continue to operate as independent companies. We want to assure you that we are dedicated to providing the same high quality products, service and support that you have come to expect from Adept. We intend to make this transition as smooth as possible and are taking great care to ensure that there is no adverse impact to your operations.

We want to thank everyone who has played a role in Adept’s success over the past 30 years. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to work with you in the future. Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your local sales representative or contact me directly at rob.cain@adept.com

A press release regarding the transaction is also available on the website www.adept.com.

Sincerely,

Rob Cain

President and CEO
