Matrix Design reports incoming orders for the first half of 2016 increased significantly compared to the prior year, resulting in a record half as demand for automation systems continues to increase. "We are finding more and more manufacturers adopting a continuous improvement mind set to stay competitive and that is leading to more Automation opportunities for us," said Jeff Bennett, Vice President of Sales. "Were also seeing a major transformation in the way end-users perceive automation. In the past, automation projects were heavily scrutinized by management and capital was difficult to come by. Now, management is challenging and pressuring their engineering teams to automate as quickly as possible where it makes sense."

"Were excited to be in the business of helping end-users automate their manufacturing processes," said Patrick Bertsche, President. "Weve geared our operations to handle the continued demand for automation and will continue to develop new talent through our internal training program and continuous improvement initiative."

Robotic machine tending and deburring applications continue to be primary growth drivers. Matrix reports more demand in automated inspection, vision and general material handling applications and expects future growth in those areas. The automotive sector continues to be a strong market for Matrix but aerospace and general industries are showing the highest growth in demand on a percentage basis.

Matrix Design develops, builds and installs robotic automation systems and services to factories worldwide. A FANUC authorized robot integrator (ASI) and an RIA certified robot integrator (CRI), Matrix is a leader in supplying standard and custom robotic material handling systems including machine tending (machine tool loading/unloading), part/tray exchange, inspection, palletizing and robotic deburring systems.
