WEROCK and FLECS announce partnership for flexible automation solutions

KARLSRUHE, Germany - Nov. 13, 2024 - PRLog -- WEROCK Technologies GmbH, an innovative manufacturer of industrial IT solutions, announces a new partnership with FLECS, a Linux-based open marketplace for automation solutions. The aim of the cooperation is to offer flexible and manufacturer-independent solutions for industrial manufacturing, machine and plant engineering.

FLECS offers companies an innovative approach to implementing automation solutions by enabling the installation, management and configuration of apps via a user-friendly web interface. The FLECS Marketplace supports both open-source and closed-source products. The ability to use different solutions from different providers makes it easier to adapt or update systems to meet specific requirements. It is also possible to provide and manage your own solutions via the platform.

The cooperation makes it easier to change or update systems, as companies can gradually replace outdated components without having to make extensive new investments. The FLECS marketplace for industrial automation enables cost and time savings by providing access to proven apps and eliminating the need for in-house development. Ready-made solutions can reduce the time-to-market by up to two years.

Compared to other Linux-based app stores, FLECS offers a targeted focus on automation solutions and industrial applications. The products in the Marketplace are adapted to the needs of production plants. The seamless integration of automation solutions via a central web interface reduces the configuration effort in complex industrial environments.

The Panel PCs from WEROCK are currently available in two compatible hardware series. The Rocksmart RSC600 series, with its slim design and IP65-protected front, is suitable for use in control cabinets and machines. The Rocksmart RSD1000 series offers a fully enclosed stainless steel housing with IP69k protection, designed for high hygienic requirements. Available from a display size of 15" to 32", with many configuration options.

Special features of FLECS integration:

• App updates ensure that systems are always up to date
• Flexible solutions for various industrial applications
• Multi-touch or single-touch control with user-friendly interface

"With WEROCK as a partner, our customers have access to robust, industry-proven panel PCs that work perfectly with the FLECS platform. Thanks to the pre-installed FLECS Core, the customization and configuration process is eliminated, making it much easier to get started with digital production," explains Patric Scholz, Managing Director of FLECS Technologies GmbH.

Markus Nicoleit, CEO of WEROCK Technologies, explains: "By partnering with FLECS, we offer flexible automation solutions that can be used independently of a manufacturer, can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems and enable companies to optimize their production environments efficiently and cost-effectively."
