Automation &
Control Software
LabVIEW, PLC, HMI, traceability, and MES/ERP integration — written in-house by the same engineers who build the machine. Software and hardware, one team, fully in sync.
The code runs the machine.
We write both.
The Artemis software team doesn't work separately from the mechanical and electrical teams. Every LabVIEW test sequence and every PLC programme is written by the same engineers who specified the hardware it controls. That integration eliminates the handoff errors that are the most common cause of commissioning delays in automation projects.
Full source code is delivered on every project — commented, documented, and in a format you can maintain. We don't lock clients into a support contract by withholding readable code.
- Full source code in native format — yours to keep and maintain.
- Documented function blocks and VI descriptions — so any engineer can pick it up.
- Recipe management — limit changes without code edits
- Timestamped alarm and error logs — every fault traceable.
- Production counter and OEE data logging — line performance, measured from day one.
What Artemis develops — by category
What every Artemis software project delivers
| Deliverable | Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Full source code | LabVIEW VIs, PLC programme, HMI project — all files in native format | You can maintain, modify, and extend the system without coming back to us — though we hope you will |
| VI / function block documentation | Every non-obvious function documented. VI descriptions completed. Block diagram comments added. | Your team can understand and modify the code 3 years after delivery |
| User manual | Operator guide: startup, operation, alarm response, shutdown. Engineering guide: recipe editing, calibration procedure. | Production operators don't need to call us to run the system |
| Test specification reference | Every limit and parameter in the software cross-referenced to the customer's test specification | Audit-ready. Your quality team can verify limits without reading code. |
| FAT test records | Complete FAT record with all test results, software version, and customer sign-off | Traceability from software version to delivered system performance |
| Software revision control | Versioned releases with changelog. Delivered as tagged release in ZIP archive. | You know exactly what version is running on each machine in the field |
Connecting your machines to your factory systems
OPC-UA Server
Every Artemis system can publish real-time machine data — cycle time, result, alarm state, OEE — as an OPC-UA server. Your MES subscribes directly. No middleware required.
MQTT & REST API
Result push via MQTT broker or REST API POST at end of every test cycle. Compatible with AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, and on-premise brokers. JSON payload, configurable schema.
SQL Database Write
Direct write to MySQL or MSSQL database at end of each cycle. Schema designed with your IT/MES team at project kickoff. Report generation from the database on request.
Barcode & RFID Traceability
Every test cycle linked to a unit serial number via barcode / 2D / RFID scan at station entry. Traceability chain from raw component to shipped unit — one database record per test event.
OEE Dashboard
Real-time OEE calculation per shift and per line. Availability, performance, and quality metrics available on-screen and pushed to plant-level dashboards. Downtime reason codes logged.
Cybersecurity Basics
Role-based access control on all HMIs. Audit trail of all parameter changes, recipe edits, and manual overrides. Firewall-friendly — all outbound communication, no inbound ports required.
The cost of separated
mechanical and software teams
The most common cause of automation project delays is the handoff between the mechanical integrator and the software team. When the machine is built by one company and the software is written by another, commissioning becomes a blame game: "the machine doesn't do what the software expects" — and both teams are right.
At Artemis, the engineer who writes the LabVIEW test sequence is the same engineer who specified the DUT fixture connector pinout. The engineer who writes the PLC conveyor logic is the same engineer who designed the station layout. There is no handoff, because there is one team.
- ✓ Software starts during fabrication — development begins while the machine is still being built, not after it finishes.
- ✓ Integration tested before FAT — the software runs on the actual hardware, never a simulation.
- ✓ FAT record is complete — software version number, all test results, and configuration record captured at sign-off.
- ✓ Source code delivered at SAT — in a format your team can read, modify, and maintain.
Software-only engagements
Artemis also takes software-only projects — where the customer has existing hardware and needs LabVIEW, PLC, or traceability software developed or upgraded. Requirements:
- ✓ Hardware specification and wiring diagrams (provided by customer)
- ✓ Test specification or functional requirement document
- ✓ Access to hardware for development and FAT (at customer facility or ours)
