About Automatrics Limited

Automatrics Limited was established in 2006 by Richard Taylor, who identified a significant performance gap in the security tracking markets. The stolen vehicle theft recovery rates were in decline, criminals were defeating existing approved tracking systems due to equipment functionality stagnation. Criminals were clearly exploiting a lack of vehicle security development, providing them with a decreased risk of vehicle theft detection, resulting in a significant growth in vehicle crime.

High-risk vehicles, including valuable cars, scooters, motorcycles, as well as non-registered plant, agricultural, and towed vehicles, clearly required improved security solutions. Thatcham Research’s UK tracking standards did not adequately address these vulnerabilities, leading Richard to introduce a newly developed, multilayered theft-combating technology specifically engineered to resist criminal interference.

Recognising the need for a 24/7 boots-on-the-ground approach to stolen vehicle recovery, Automatrics tailored its services to support the growing number of vehicle theft victims. The company’s flexible and dedicated approach enabled it to respond effectively to evolving theft trends while overcoming criminal anti-tracking tactics, ensuring protection for both individual consumers and businesses against increasingly targeted theft attacks.

Automatrics leveraged multiple location technologies to develop a theft recovery tracking system that was virtually undetectable and resistant to removal. This innovation led to the creation of Automatrics MTrack, the first-ever battery-powered tracker to be Thatcham-certified for insurance use. With no visible wires or antennas, the device could locate vehicles hidden from GPS signals by combining secret radio frequency beaconing, mobile cell location, and GPS technology within a small, resilient enclosure.

Thanks to this pioneering technology, Automatrics became the first company to offer insurance-approved vehicle tracking systems directly to end users, allowing authorised owners to perform a covert self-installation virtually anywhere in any vehicle. The company continues to set industry-leading theft recovery performance standards and remains proactive in advancing security solutions.

Innovation & Media Recognition

Automatrics’ system performance has been widely recognised, with real-world operational video footage showcasing its capabilities on YouTube. This “seeing is believing” approach to marketing has resonated with customers, and the Automatrics MTrack YouTube channel has gained significant popularity, earning the company the YouTube Silver Award for surpassing 100,000 subscribers.

Systems are certified Police Preferred “Secured By Design” (SBD) and have received prestigious innovation and support awards from both the Combined Industry Theft Solutions (CITS) group and the International Association of Auto Theft Investigators (IAATI).

Due to consistent, reliable, and successful tracking capabilities, Automatrics has been selected to conduct undercover operational tracking projects with major media organisations, including Greenpeace, Watchdog, Which?, Panorama, and Channel 5. More recently, the company has been filming with the BBC for a new theft-tracking series, featuring in over 12 episodes.

Our Mission

To lead the fight against modern vehicle theft with the world’s most advanced and dependable tracking systems.

The market for factory-fitted vehicle trackers is increasingly vulnerable. Manufacturer partnerships often expose device types, fitting methods, and operational behaviours making trackers easier to locate and disable.

Rigid insurance standards (from Thatcham Research, Sold Secure, etc.) have further restricted innovation by favouring GPS-only systems, solutions that are now predictable, limited, and prone to defeat by criminals.

At Automatrics, we don’t compromise on security. We develop bespoke, multi-layered tracking solutions that combine GPS, RF, and cellular technologies adapting to covert installation challenges, signal interference, and network changeovers.

Built in Britain and backed by over 18 years of experience, our systems are of the highest quality, engineered to deliver the Ultimate Security Protection. From our partner developers and hardware engineers to our live in-house theft recovery experts, we provide 24/7 five-star support that works globally for every application and threat.

Our Vision

To keep vehicle tracking covert, effective, and future-ready, while expanding globally through trusted local partnerships.

We’re actively scaling our technologies across theft recovery, fleet tracking, and plug-and-go GPS with the launch of:

The Automatrics MTrack Advanced theft recovery range
Our new OBD 4G plug-and-play GPS trackers
Robust wired fleet tracking solutions

Our products are built to the highest in-house specifications, featuring high-grade components, magnetic fitment options, covert casing, and secure fallback technologies. From self-fit standalone units to professional fleet systems, we’re committed to delivering maximum resilience and reliability even under signal-blocking, spoofing, or jamming attacks.

Our Values

We stand for dedication, dependability, and doing what’s right for every customer, every time.

Every customer, whether fleet operator or individual deserves the same commitment, urgency, and care.
We prioritise quality over quantity, with people and property protection at the core of our mission.
We support our clients, staff, and partners by fostering a safe, respectful, and professional environment.
We go further. Beyond installation, we monitor system health, assist customers 24/7, and in the event of theft deploy experts on the ground to guide law enforcement and recover stolen vehicles.
