About LoopCraft

Who is behind it

LoopCraft is made by Marco Hoekstra, a process enthusiast with 20 years of experience in many kinds of processes: chemical, oil and gas, power generation and special gases. I am based in the Netherlands and Denmark.

Why LoopCraft exists

I want to help people build their knowledge of a process plant, and understand it better and faster.

Most people only meet a DCS or SCADA control system, and everything practical about a plant, after their education. That is a shame. Hands-on exposure during education helps enormously, much more than only pictures in a book. There are alternatives, but most of them are too expensive for students and schools.

LoopCraft is my answer: you draw the plant, you run it, and you see what happens.

What we believe

Process thinking should be interactive. People understand a plant best when they can build it, change it and watch it respond. LoopCraft is for students, teachers, trainers, operators and engineers who learn that way.
