About

Our Philosophy

We believe manufacturers should own their automation data, not rent access to it.

Industrial automation is plagued by vendor lock-in: proprietary file formats, closed ecosystems, expensive licensing. We're building the alternative.

Square Wave Systems is a small, focused software studio based on the Gold Coast, Australia. We combine deep domain expertise in industrial automation with modern software engineering — open standards, version control, and tools that work with your workflow, not against it.

  • No Vendor Lock-in

    Open standards, open formats. Your projects live in Git, not proprietary binaries. You can leave anytime and take everything with you.

  • Modern Tools

    VS Code, Git, CI/CD — the same tools 73% of developers already use. Not legacy IDEs and vendor-specific platforms.

  • Niche Focus

    We solve specific automation problems exceptionally well. We don't try to be SCADA or an ERP.
