In a world where industries are rapidly embracing automation, FLECS and iRobota Pro have joined hands to simplify Industry 4.0 for industrial users. This partnership marks a significant step towards making automation more accessible, user-friendly, and efficient.
FLECS: Automation Made Simple
FLECS (Flexible Edge Computing System) is an open-source platform that makes industrial automation as easy as using apps on a smartphone. Its intuitive web interface allows users to install, manage, and configure automation solutions with ease. FLECS keeps track of versions and ensures seamless updates, ensuring users are always working with the latest and most secure software.
Portenta X8: The Powerhouse of Automation
The Portenta X8 is a powerful System on Module (SOM) that serves as the hardware foundation for FLECS. This industrial-grade SOM comes preloaded with a Linux operating system, making it ready for industrial applications right out of the box. Users can connect the Portenta X8 to their computer via USB and install FLECS with just a single line of code. Once connected, the FLECS UI provides access to a wide range of automation solutions, empowering users to tailor their systems to their specific needs.
Simplified Linux Application Deployment
With FLECS, deploying Linux applications is a breeze. Users can leverage FLECS solutions with just a few commands and clicks, eliminating the complexities often associated with Linux application deployment. This simplified process enables users to quickly integrate and customize automation solutions, saving time and resources.
Portenta X8’s Unmatched Performance
The Portenta X8 is not just a powerful SOM; it’s a powerhouse of performance. Combining two industrial products into one, the Portenta X8 features 9 cores, including NXP i.MX 8M Mini Arm Cortex-A53 quad-core, Cortex-M4, and STMicroelectronics STM32H747 dual-core Cortex-M7. This exceptional processing power, coupled with an extensive ecosystem of open-source hardware, software solutions, Cloud services, and community support, makes the Portenta X8 an ideal platform for industrial automation applications.
Conclusion: Automation Simplified, Industry Transformed
The partnership between FLECS and iRobota Pro is a game-changer for Industry 4.0 automation. FLECS’ user-friendly platform and Portenta X8’s high performance simplify complex automation tasks, making them accessible to a wider range of industrial users. This collaboration empowers industries to embrace automation, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation, ultimately transforming the way we work and produce.
Bonus: Automation is not just about technology; it’s about people. As industries adopt automation, it’s crucial to remember that the human touch remains essential. Automation should augment human capabilities, not replace them. By embracing automation as a tool to empower workers and enhance productivity, we can create a future where humans and machines work together to achieve remarkable things.
