Customer Stories

Better Service Starts Here

As a Level 4 Fanuc Servicing Integrator, Matrix has the ability to work on any Fanuc robot system for emergency service, spare parts, or reprogramming needs.

I would like to pay particular thanks to Doug Sands at Matrix and his team for the rapid response last night, as well as, the dedication to his service tech. [He] was onsite within 30 min of my call to Doug and stayed with this until we were up and had run 250 pcs. for confirmation of success, which lasted until 1:30am this morning.

– Tier 2 Business Unit Leader

Thank each of you for your excellent support over the past several years. Everyone on your team has been extremely helpful and wonderful to work with.

– Engineering Manager

Working with Matrix Design has been a game-changer for our production line. From the initial free Automation Evaluation through to full deployment, their team identified bottlenecks we didn’t even realize were costing us time. Our cycle times dropped by over 30 % and operator fatigue has nearly vanished. Their responsiveness and industry-agnostic expertise make them a true partner, not just a vendor.

– John R., VP of Operations, Acme Manufacturing

We came to Matrix Design with a complex deburring and machine-tending challenge in our aerospace component shop. Their custom automation solution was delivered ahead of schedule, integrated smoothly with our existing FANUC systems, and immediately improved consistency and quality. What impressed me most was how they listened, built for our unique needs, and stood behind the solution.

– Dave T., Plant Manager, BigRig Gearworks
