Realizing Machine Possibilities

Our ability to push machine potential hinges on three key factors. Inspirations are the opportunities we see coming down the pike. Methodology is how we creatively approach our work. Collaborations are the results of partnerships with fellow revolutionaries.

New Machine Concept

If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably had a new machine idea rattling around in a mental drawer for a while now. At Loupe, those ideas are what get us out of bed in the morning — which is why we’ve developed a process to give them some proper attention. We call it New Machine Concept.

Methodology

Ship in Six

When it comes to product development, it’s no secret that the only certainty is uncertainty, and change the only constant. Rather than shying away from this fundamental truth, in our years working in automation we’ve found a way to embrace it. We call it Ship in Six.
