RL MATUS is a manufacturers representative firm of industrial automation equipment and software. The companies we represent are marketshare leaders who turned to us as their outsourced Sales and Application Engineering team. We are responsible for commercial and technical support of our principals' customers and channel partners across our territory. Customers in the manufacturing sector interested in implementing Industry 4.0 initiatives look to RL MATUS as a valued resource and provider of automation solutions. The lines we represent, our educational and professional backgrounds and our 50+ year history in this market allow us to be experts in many areas of automation. Our job is to help customers select technologies that produce an ROI which quickly justifies the material and implementation costs of their automation projects. We help our customers… automate manual processes via robotics (collaborative robots) make motion happen with servos or AC motors, drives, actuation, gearing and structural framing establish remote access, monitoring, visualization and control of machines and processes on the plant floor collect, convert, visualize, transform, analyze and model data from machines on the factory floor (IIoT) turn that data into predictive, proactive, actionable insights that increase quality and throughput while reducing unplanned downtime and scrap Yes, we get paid to sell by our principals, so by definition we’re “salesmen.” But individually and as a company we’re so much more. While we all earned our engineering degrees, our path to industrial automation took many turns, including automation sales upon graduating, working as engineers at manufacturing plants or leading OEM R&D teams. But at the end of the day we have over 275 years of combined industrial automation experience and we use that knowledge to advance US-based manufacturing.
