Robotic Software and Programming Services
If you have a very specific manufacturing or production process, off-the-shelf software may not cut it. Or, you may need to upgrade existing logic without significantly changing the hardware. No matter the case, Cross Company’s Custom Industrial Programming and Software Services can help. Whether you’re launching a new system, upgrading legacy code, or even building from scratch, our engineers and automation specialists can help.
Custom Application-Based Software Programming
At Cross, we’ve worked with a wide range of customers across dozens of industries to develop custom software and programming solutions that raise quality, reduce risk, and improve efficiency.
When off-the-shelf software can’t get the job done, our experienced automation engineers can design and program systems tailored to your specific process. The result is software that integrates seamlessly with your equipment, optimizes workflow, and maximizes operational efficiency.
From custom truck scale kiosks to multiple fiber blending lines and everything in between, our software engineers work to understand your process and then program a controller to work efficiently for that process.
Whether it’s for robotic programming or PLC programming (eg. FANUC, UR, Doosan, Allen Bradley, or even batch controllers), we can provide the programming support you need either onsite or in our facilities.
PLC programming or pre-loaded drives from Cross Company allow you to make changeovers more quickly and get back up and running faster. We can source, program and validate your drives so they arrive at your facility ready to go.
Examples Of Our Work

Benefits of Industrial Software Programming from Cross
There are many benefits to utilizing custom industrial software programming services from Cross Company Automation. From optimized control to data-driven insights to improved efficiency, our automation software can give your operation the competitive edge it needs to succeed.
Optimized Control
Industrial software programming allows for precise control over your automation systems. This allows operations to optimize performance, efficiency, and accuracy. Fine-tuning controls and logic sequences ensures that your automated systems operate at peak efficiency and deliver consistent results when you need them.
Data-Driven Insights
Automation and industrial software that’s programmed to your specifications is also able to provide actionable, data-driven insights. With real-time monitoring and data acquisition, valuable information can be extracted from collected data. This allows for increased production optimization and greater efficiency.
Improved Efficiency
Our software can help your operation automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and minimize manual intervention. This results in increased efficiency, reduced production errors, greater productivity, and less unplanned downtime. Automation can also run 24/7, boosting output and reducing production cycle times.

Why Custom Industrial Software Matters
Off-the-shelf means compromise. When not directly compatible with your process, it can lead to extra steps, workarounds, middleware, or forced workflows. All of which increase inefficiency
Custom software means full alignment. This includes your process, your hardware, and your goals
You can update without overhaul. Keep your existing investment while modernizing logic and interfaces of legacy systems
Follow industrial software trends. These show that success often depends on software able to control, monitor, and optimize operations across PLCs, HMI/SCADA, and others
Reduce integration headaches. Let Cross handle the details
Cross Programming and Software Support Services
After being in the industrial automation world since the 1950s, we’ve learned a thing or two about best practices for long-term success. And in that time, we’ve refined our process for determining the best solutions and best path for integration and implementation. Our typical process includes
- Process capture and logic definition – The starting point is understanding your production process. That includes throughput, changeovers, fault-modes, data tracking, and interface needs
- Software architecture and programming – Whether it’s for PLCs, industrial PCs, microcontrollers, or even scale controllers, we’re able to write the logic, design the HMI, configure the communication, and ensure integration with other machines or systems
- Integration – From new builds to retrofits, we work directly with you to help upgrade your software without replacing hardware, to integrate systems that weren’t originally designed to talk, and to bring your operation to a cleaner, smarter state
- Data insights – It’s not just about the machines running. It’s about software able to provide tangible value to your operation. This includes utilizing real-time monitoring and data collection to provide actionable insights
