MATE exoskeleton has been designed to improve work quality in an efficient and highly ergonomic manner by providing consistent and advanced movement assistance during prolonged overhead, as well as daily tasks. MATE is fully able to replicate any movement of the shoulder while adhering to the body like a "second skin". Developed in conjunction with IUVO and ÖSSUR, MATE is the first available product of a series of wearable technologies being commercialized by Comau.

Comau's Agile AGVs fully express its open automation design approach. Modular, scalable and completely re-configurable, the AGVs feature best in class payload to size ratio. Due to these characteristics, they can significantly facilitate core operations including just-in-time and just-in-sequence production, as well as optimized logistic flows inside the factory, improved warehouse management, and better overall production efficiency. The AGVs play a key role in the development of a new operating platform imposed by Industry 4.0. Comau AGVs can increase overall plant safety thanks to advanced security features, including an integrated laser scanner that stops them upon detection of an obstacle along their routes.
