ROS-Industrial: open-source software in industrial robotics

A couple years ago Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) released an open-source software package which brings industrial robotics into ROS (Robot Operating System). The stack, as is called a ROS collection of packages, is named ROS-Industrial and is distributed under the BSD license, which basically means that it can be used freely in proprietary (commercial) softwares.
