Robotics, Industrial Automation & Monitoring:

Helping modernise and improve systems with electronics and software expertise

Automation for modern industry

Digital automation, monitoring, and cyber security drive growth in the industrial and logistics sectors. Your company needs to embrace these new standards to stay competitive, maintain productivity, and reduce human error in your operations.

We can help you automate your industrial processes by designing and developing sensors, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) products, automated handling equipment, and industrial robotics systems.

Our team has a range of experience in the industrial sector. We have supported multinational companies and some of the fastest-growing robotics businesses with automation processes. In every project we undertake, we bring an understanding of safety-critical system design and compliance.

Accelerate your robotic design and development

Our engineers have years of experience designing custom sensing and control systems. We have the skills to undertake robotics projects including industrial communications, fieldbus, and IIoT.  

The design and development of robotic devices require interdisciplinary expertise. In addition to software, we can support your project in electronics, including battery and high-speed digital design.

We will work with you to understand your goals, priorities and challenges. From there, we can design a plan to support your project, minimise risk and help you hit your targets.

Why work with us?

We’ve worked closely with fast-growing startups and global companies across various industrial sectors. Whether you need robotic design and development or to increase your team's bandwidth, we can support you in developing automated industrial systems that are safe and effective.

Our expertise includes:

Electronic design and software development for robotics and industrial applications

  • Sensors and actuators

  • Motor control

  • Industrial communication busses (EtherCAT, Modbus, PROFINET, CAN bus, CANOpen)

  • Designing to meet quality, safety and communication standards

  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and Machinery Directive certification 

Hilscher Integration Partnership

Hilscher is a leading technology provider for industrial communication. Their unique offering is based on netX processors with interchangeable protocol stacks.

The technology enables fieldbus connection to real-time ethernet systems that can be integrated into your end products with just one Hilscher chip. Some of the supported protocols include PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus, CC-Link and CANopen.  

Ripcord is a UK-based Hilscher Integration Partner, and our engineers have undergone Hilscher-led training. If you need help using Hilscher products as part of your design, our engineers can provide expert guidance.

‘‘Our experience working with Ripcord on PCB designs and prototype manufacturing has been nothing short of exceptional. Despite tight timelines and evolving requirements, the team consistently delivered with professionalism and expertise. We look forward to working with Ripcord again in the future.’’
