Robot Controllers & Software

.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?

Robot controllers and software cover the hardware and programs that operate industrial and collaborative robots, from controller units to offline programming and simulation software. The suppliers below manufacture or distribute robot controllers and related software for European manufacturing and system integration.

What Robot Controllers & Software suppliers provide

Suppliers in this category manufacture or distribute robot controller hardware and the software used to program, simulate, and manage robots, including offline programming tools, path simulation, and fleet or cell management software. Their core competence lies in the control and programming layer specific to robots, as distinct from the general PLC and HMI systems covered under automation systems and control. Many suppliers also provide integration support, software licensing, and training. In the pre-selection phase, compare which robot brands, programming languages, and software platforms each supplier supports, and whether their software integrates with your existing control environment.

Relevant standards

Robot controllers and their safety-related functions are assessed against ISO 10218-1 and ISO 10218-2, with safety-related control parts commonly referencing ISO 13849-1. Industrial cybersecurity for networked robot controllers and software is addressed under IEC 62443.

Frequently asked questions

What is offline programming software used for?
Offline programming software lets engineers program and simulate a robot’s motion path on a computer before running it on the physical robot, reducing production downtime during setup changes.
