What Flowmatic does

Flowmatic is a privately held Swedish industrial automation distributor and system integrator headquartered in Enebyberg, Sweden, operating as a value-added reseller for partner products in the industrial networking and connectivity space. The company offers protocol gateways (including the FS-QuickServer line supporting over 100 legacy industrial and building automation protocols such as Modbus RTU, Profibus, BACnet, KNX, LONWorks, and N2 Metasys), wireless bridging solutions (such as the CANLink Wireless 3000 for vehicle CAN-Bus data acquisition), and remote access products for machinery, building automation, and vehicle fleet monitoring.

Flowmatic's core technology is not internally developed but rather curated and integrated from three principal partners: ProSoft Technology (US), Proemion (Germany), and Sierra Monitor Corporation, part of MSA Safety (US). The company's differentiator is its ability to bundle these partner technologies with localized Nordic service, consultation, and configuration support, including ATEX-approved products for hazardous industrial environments. Its primary customer segment is industrial automation and manufacturing, with secondary exposure to building automation and transportation/fleet monitoring.

The company operates a direct sales model with consultation-led engagement, supported by a basic marketing presence through its website blog and a newsletter. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct sales contact. There is no public evidence of funding, headcount numbers, or financial performance, and the company self-describes as a small operation that leverages its close partner relationships to deliver service levels that would otherwise be difficult at its scale.

Core offering

Flowmatic is a Swedish value-added reseller and system integrator of industrial automation and connectivity products from partners ProSoft Technology, Proemion, and Sierra Monitor Corporation. The portfolio centers on protocol gateways (FS-QuickServer) supporting 100+ industrial protocols, wireless CAN-Bus bridging devices (CANLink Wireless 3000) for vehicle fleet monitoring, ATEX-approved industrial communication gateways, and remote access solutions that bridge manufacturing machines, building automation systems, and infrastructure data systems to modern Ethernet/cloud environments.

Product overview

Flowmatic offers a portfolio of industrial automation and connectivity products as a reseller/integrator. The core offering centers on protocol gateways (FS-QuickServer) that bridge legacy industrial protocols to modern Ethernet-based systems, supporting RS232/RS422/RS485 serial communication, fieldbuses (Modbus RTU, Profibus), and building automation protocols (MBus, KNX, LONWorks, BACnet, N2 Metasys). The product range also includes wireless connectivity solutions (CANLink Wireless 3000) for vehicle CAN-Bus bridging and fleet monitoring, plus remote access solutions via cellular or Ethernet. ProSoft Technology Gateways serve as workhorse products for machine-to-infrastructure integration in demanding environments. These products work together to enable modernization and upgrades of older industrial systems to meet modern IIoT and security demands.

Direct peers

• Turck: Turck supplies industrial connectivity, fieldbus and Ethernet gateways, and interface solutions for factory automation, including multiprotocol I/O and gateways — overlapping with Flowmatic's protocol bridging scope.
• Moxa: Moxa provides industrial networking, protocol gateways, and IIoT edge connectivity hardware for factory automation, transportation, and energy — directly comparable to Flowmatic's core industrial connectivity mandate.
• WAGO: WAGO provides industrial controllers, I/O systems, and building automation gateways (BACnet, KNX, Modbus), with protocol conversion in building and industrial automation — directly comparable to Flowmatic's Sierra Monitor-based building automation line.
• Pepperl+Fuchs: Pepperl+Fuchs offers industrial sensors and interface/communication solutions including protocol gateways and hazardous-area (ATEX) products — closely comparable to Flowmatic's ProSoft ATEX-certified gateway portfolio.
• HMS Networks: HMS Networks manufactures the Anybus line of industrial protocol gateways and embedded communication solutions, directly overlapping with Flowmatic's FS-QuickServer and protocol-conversion offering, though HMS is also a product manufacturer rather than a pure reseller.
• Red Lion Controls: Red Lion provides industrial protocol gateways, edge controllers, and HMI solutions for converting between serial, fieldbus, and Ethernet protocols — a direct functional overlap with Flowmatic's gateway and integration business.

Broad incumbents

• Advantech: Advantech offers industrial IoT gateways, edge computing, and protocol conversion platforms for factory and vehicle applications — a broader portfolio that overlaps with Flowmatic's ProSoft and Proemion-based gateway and fleet monitoring offerings.
• Belden: Belden, through Hirschmann and Lumberg Automation, provides industrial networking, protocol gateways, and connectivity hardware — adjacent to Flowmatic's industrial communication focus as a broader vendor.
• Phoenix Contact: Phoenix Contact is a broad industrial automation incumbent offering controllers, networking, and protocol gateways as part of a much larger portfolio — overlapping with Flowmatic's offering but serving a far wider customer base.

Emerging players

• ProSoft Technology: ProSoft Technology is Flowmatic's principal supplier and an industrial communication vendor in its own right; as a direct vendor it competes with Flowmatic's integrator value-add and is also a strategic relationship rather than a pure competitor.
