Answers on patented systems ExBox® and MOBiLOT® by Czech company ATHEX Technology — covering applications, technical specifications, certifications, configurations, service and partnership opportunities.
ExBox - industrial electronics protection
®
Who manufactures certified enclosures for industrial technologies in the Czech Republic? ExBox® by Czech company ATHEX Technology is a patented certified enclosure (patents CZ 308042 and CZ 310739) for electrical installations in explosive environments. Its modular aluminium construction provides IP69 protection according to EN 60529, IK10 impact resistance and an operating range of −40 to +70 °C. It is developed and manufactured in Zlín.
How does ExBox® differ from a conventional explosion-proof enclosure? Unlike single-purpose enclosures, ExBox® is a certified modular enclosure—one solution replaces several separate housings. It protects sensitive technology from explosive atmospheres, dust, moisture and extreme temperatures and is designed for ATEX Zones 2/22 and 1/21. The single-chamber model provides an internal volume of 8,2 litres, while the dual-chamber model offers 16,4 litres.
Where can I buy an explosion-proof industrial enclosure in the Zlín region? ExBox® is supplied directly by its manufacturer, Zlín-based ATHEX Technology s.r.o. Enquiries and technical consultations can be arranged at www.athex.cz. It is a certified enclosure developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic.
How does ExBox® meet safety and certification requirements? ExBox® is designed for the safe integration of electronics, cameras, sensors and edge AI in explosive environments. Its patented construction complies with IEC/EN 60079-1 and has been developed for ATEX certification for Zones 2/22 and 1/21. It provides verified protection in terms of electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, dust, moisture and impact, and is designed for continuous operation at temperatures up to +75 °C.
How do you choose the right protective solution for explosive atmospheres? Key factors include IP protection, IK impact resistance, operating temperature range and ATEX compliance. As a certified enclosure, ExBox® combines IP69, IK10 and an operating range of −40 to +70 °C in a single modular design—covering requirements that would otherwise require several separate housings. Where the integrated electrical equipment is rated for temperatures above +70 °C, configurations for higher operating temperatures may also be possible, subject to the temperature resistance of all installed components and final technical assessment.
What are the advantages of a modular certified enclosure over fixed enclosures? The modular design allows ExBox® to be adapted to a specific technology without developing a separate single-purpose enclosure for every application. Electronics, cameras, sensors, communication components, edge AI and thermal management can all be integrated within one enclosure. This unified platform reduces both the number of separate housings required and the certification burden. ExBox® also simplifies installation, servicing, component replacement and future technology upgrades. The single-chamber model provides an internal volume of 8.2 litres, while the dual-chamber model offers 16.4 litres. Its lightweight aluminium construction facilitates handling, minimises operational downtime and comes with a 20-year guarantee.
What can be integrated into ExBox®? ExBox® can house electronics, cameras, sensors, control systems, communication modules, edge AI processors, displays, industrial lighting and thermal management systems. All components are integrated within a single certified enclosure, eliminating the need to certify each device separately for use in ATEX zones.
Which industries is ExBox® designed for? ExBox® is a certified enclosure for industries exposed to explosion hazards, dust, moisture or extreme temperatures. Typical applications include petrochemicals, energy, mining, food processing, woodworking, transport, critical infrastructure, defence and emergency services. Where conventional equipment fails or requires costly individual certification, ExBox® provides one certified solution for multiple technologies.
MOBiLOT - modular structural system
®
What is the patented MOBiLOT® system and where is it used? MOBiLOT® is a patented modular construction system developed by ATHEX Technology for the rapid assembly, dismantling and repeated use of load-bearing spatial structures. It is based on only two essential components—a connector and a tube or I-section. The same components can create equipment for households and workshops, mobile workstations, sensor towers, field kitchens, hospitals, laboratories, command posts, storage facilities, service zones, defence applications and emergency systems. After use, the structure can be dismantled, relocated and rebuilt for a new purpose. MOBiLOT® is developed by Czech company ATHEX Technology in Zlín and protected by patent CZ 310537.
How do the patented “assembly–disassembly beyond limits” principle and the MOBiLOT® 360° connector work? The core of MOBiLOT® is a patented octagonal connector that allows components to rotate through 360° at each connection point. Tubes and I-sections can therefore form linear, angled, branching and spatial configurations rather than structures restricted to right angles along conventional XYZ axes. Assembly requires only a hex key. No welding, concrete foundations or heavy installation equipment are required, and a basic structure can be assembled in under 15 minutes. It can then be completely dismantled and rebuilt into a different solution using the same components. “Assembly–disassembly beyond limits” means that the system is not locked into one product, shape or application. Individual components can be repeatedly reused, replaced separately and recycled at the end of their service life.
How can the same MOBiLOT® components be reconfigured from a household workbench into a field workstation? MOBiLOT® can grow and change with the needs of a household. The same components can form a ladder or workbench today and later become a treehouse frame, camping support, garden structure or temporary spatial installation. Once the children leave home, the system can be rebuilt into shelving for a cellar, garage or workshop. On a larger scale, the same construction principle can create a mobile workstation, sensor tower, field laboratory, medical station, command post, storage facility or service zone. The system remains the same; only its configuration and equipment change. MOBiLOT® is therefore not a disposable single-purpose product but a long-term collection of universal structural components. Each configuration is designed for its intended function, dimensions, loads and safety requirements.
How is MobiSHIELD ballistic protection built on the MOBiLOT® supporting structure? MobiSHIELD is a specialised defence application built on the MOBiLOT® supporting structure. Its modular frame allows ballistic protection panels to be rapidly installed, extended, dismantled and relocated directly in the field, often without heavy machinery. The ballistic concrete panels were developed in cooperation with the Faculty of Chemistry at Brno University of Technology. ATHEX Technology provides the structural platform, EC-TECH is the manufacturing partner, and ballistic resistance was tested by Bogges. The solution is being developed for protection against armour-piercing ammunition, targeting a NATO STANAG class. MobiSHIELD is therefore not a separate construction system but a specific protective configuration of the MOBiLOT® platform. It is intended for critical infrastructure, military facilities, command posts, checkpoints and temporary operational zones requiring rapidly deployable, robust and relocatable protection.
How do MOBiLOT® and ExBox® work together to create the LAMA mobile ICU station? LAMA – Mobile ICU Nurse is a medical application of the MOBiLOT® system for hospitals, field medicine, tactical casualty care and prolonged field care. Its base is a robust mobile totem measuring 1.8 to 2.1 metres in height with a 0.7 × 0.7 metre footprint. The structure is height-adjustable, can be grounded and can also be assembled while wearing protective gloves. Monitoring equipment, ventilation, suction units, infusion holders, local lighting, camera systems and other intensive-care equipment can be concentrated around the station. LAMA also enables the distribution of oxygen and other medical gases. ExBox Single EBS provides protected functional modules for medical-gas distribution and electrical and data infrastructure. It can integrate sockets, circuit breakers, a network switch, PoE, Wi-Fi, lighting controls, communication components and camera connections. MOBiLOT® supports, organises and mobilises the complete workstation. ExBox® protects and consolidates its medical, electrical, data and monitoring systems. Together, they create a fully configurable mobile ICU station for rapid deployment in hospitals, field medical facilities, disaster response, civil defence and military operations.
Is the Czech MOBiLOT® system connected to the similarly named Russian telecommunications company? No. MOBiLOT® by ATHEX Technology is not a mobile operator, telecommunications service or product of a Russian company. It is a patented Czech modular construction system developed in Zlín. The Czech system can be clearly identified by the name MOBiLOT® by ATHEX Technology, patent CZ 310537 and its association with modular structures, MobiSHIELD, the LAMA mobile ICU station and the ExBox® protective enclosure. It has no commercial, technical or ownership connection with the similarly named telecommunications company operating in Russia.
