Systems Integration
Connecting Your Existing Systems
As businesses grow, it's common for machinery, software and business systems to come from different suppliers and operate independently. This often leads to duplicate data entry, disconnected information and manual processes that reduce efficiency and limit visibility.
We create systems integration solutions that connect existing equipment, business systems and third-party software. Every project is different, which is why we tailor each integration to suit your equipment, software and business requirements.
Integration projects often extend beyond software to include machine control, robotics and machine vision systems. These technologies work together to create fully connected automation solutions tailored to your business.

Machine & Business System Integration
Modern manufacturing relies on information flowing between machines, production equipment and business systems. Motion Design integration solutions connect equipment and databases with systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), reporting platforms and other business software.
By reducing manual data entry, eliminating duplicate handling and improving the flow of information, our integration solutions help businesses improve efficiency, increase data accuracy and make better use of the information they already have. Our integration solutions enable machines and business systems to exchange data, allowing information to flow seamlessly throughout your business. Every integration is customised for your equipment, software and business requirements.
We can integrate systems such as:
- Machine to ERP
- Machine to MES
- Machine to LIMS
- Machine to SQL servers / databases
- LIMS to reporting platforms
- Legacy database integration
- API development and third-party software integration
- Cloud-based systems
Legacy Systems Integration
Modernising your business doesn't always mean replacing existing equipment. We deliver integration solutions that connect legacy machines and systems with modern business software, reporting platforms and new technologies, allowing businesses to modernise without replacing everything they already have.
Whether extending the life of existing equipment, integrating older production lines, connecting legacy databases or modernising existing software, we develop practical integration solutions that support Industry 4.0 initiatives and digital transformation while building on your existing investment.
Legacy integration may include:
- Legacy machines and production equipment
- Existing PLCs and control systems
- Legacy databases
- Business software and reporting platforms
- Third-party systems

Integrating Machine Vision
Machine vision uses cameras and intelligent software to inspect, identify, measure and guide automated processes without manual intervention. When integrated with your wider automation and business systems, machine vision becomes a valuable source of production and quality information. Our machine vision specialists design and develop vision software to suit your application that integrates with PLCs, robotics, production equipment and business systems, allowing inspection results, identification data and quality information to become part of your wider manufacturing process.
Vision system integration may include:
- Integration with PLCs and machine control
- Vision-guided robotics
- Machine vision data capture
- Barcode, QR code and OCR integration
- Quality inspection reporting
- Integration with MES, ERP and reporting systems

Robot Integration
Industrial robots can operate as standalone systems with limited smart connectivity to the wider production environment. We develop robot software and integration solutions that control robotic systems while connecting them with PLCs, machine vision, production equipment and business systems. By integrating robots into your wider automation environment, production information, recipes, machine status and quality data can move automatically between connected systems.
