Matex Robotics :: Innovative Robotic Automation Solutions, Particularly for Challenging Industrial Environments

Matex Robotics is a Danish company specializing in innovative robotic automation solutions, particularly for challenging industrial environments. Founded on expertise from its sister company Autofuel (which developed the world’s first ATEX-approved collaborative robotic refueling system for hazardous fuel stations), Matex focuses on delivering safe, reliable, and user-friendly robots that enhance productivity while prioritizing safety and compliance.

The company’s core strength lies in ATEX-certified collaborative robots (cobots) designed for explosive atmospheres (Zones 1 and 2 for gases, and corresponding dust zones). These patented solutions enable automation in high-risk industries such as chemical production, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, distilleries, paint/coating applications, and even ammunition manufacturing. The robots come fully certified by DEKRA, with comprehensive documentation, allowing seamless integration without burdening customers with complex certification processes. This breakthrough originated from practical needs in hazardous fuel retail settings and has been commercially validated over several years.

For non-hazardous areas, Matex offers practical, plug-and-play industrial automation solutions emphasizing simplicity, fast ROI, and minimal customization. Key products include:

• Palletizing systems: Stack boxes/crates up to 2400 mm height on pallets up to 1200×1200 mm, adaptable to various sizes/weights using cobots up to 20 kg payload.
• Machine tending: Compact modular drawer systems (2-9 drawers, up to 12 kg payload) for CNC machines, with dual-side access and easy setup.
• Box folding robots: Automated systems for erecting boxes, configurable to specific production needs for consistent packaging.

Additionally, as the Scandinavian supplier of JAKA Robots (payloads from 1–30 kg), Matex provides versatile collaborative arms suitable for a wide range of tasks, supporting man-machine cooperation with an open ecosystem for vision systems, tools, and sensors.

Matex emphasizes core values of safety, full documentation, reliability, and convenience. Robots are delivered ready-to-use, drawing from fuel industry experience where ease-of-use is critical. The company positions itself as a bridge between premium hazardous-area expertise and cost-efficient standard automation, helping businesses in Scandinavia and beyond improve efficiency in diverse settings.
