Software Development Services for Advanced Automation
Modern automation demands more than hardware—it requires intelligent, adaptable software that brings systems to life. We offer bespoke software development as a core part of our automation solutions, enabling seamless integration between robotics, vision systems, and production environments. We provide software services for all aspects of machine related software development – from the initial requirements capture and specification through to development, test and acceptance.
Whether you’re deploying a new robotic cell or upgrading an existing process, Loop Technology design and implement robust, scalable software tailored to your exact application.
Areas of Expertise
Custom Automation Software
Every system we build is driven by purpose-built code. From motion control and process sequencing to user interfaces and diagnostics, our software is engineered to match your workflow—not force you to adapt to off-the-shelf limitations.
Software Languages
Loop Technology support a broad range of software languages and operating system support on a variety of processors. These languages include C#, Visual C++, C++, C, Visual Basic and Assembler, Java, VB6 and VBA for PC and Embedded Systems. Ladder Logic and Sequential Flow Charts for PLCs, plus robot programming for KUKA KRC2, KRC4 controllers, Kuka KRC5 ABB IRC5 series controllers, and FANUC R-30iB / R-30iB Plus controllers, including associated programming environments (RAPID, KRL, TP/KAREL) and offline simulation tools.
Vision System Integration
Loop Technology specialise in vision-guided automation, developing software that bridges cameras, lighting, and robotic systems into a cohesive solution. This includes part location, inspection, measurement, and adaptive control strategies for high-precision tasks.
Robot Programming & Control
Loop Technology develop and optimise robot programs for accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency. Whether it’s complex path planning, force control, or multi-robot coordination, our software ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.
System Integration & Communication
Modern automation relies on connectivity. Loop Technology develop software that integrates PLCs, robots, vision systems, and external databases using industrial communication protocols—ensuring your systems operate as a unified whole.
Data, Traceability & Analytics
We build software that captures and structures production data in real time, enabling traceability, performance monitoring, and informed decision-making. From simple logging to fully connected Industry 4.0 systems, Loop Technology will help future-proof your operation.
User Interfaces & Operator Tools
Intuitive interfaces are critical for usability and uptime. We create custom HMIs and operator dashboards that simplify interaction, reduce training requirements, and provide clear system feedback.
Software Products
FibreDRIVE
Offline programming tool to create and export ply configurations for composite pick and place deposition processes.
RoboSTOP
Provides real time modelling of cell components, predicting collisions and stopping motion before damage occurs.
