🏷️FLECS Subscription Plans
Overview of the FLECS Subscription – plans, features, and how to build your own branded industrial software platform.
Operating and scaling software-defined automation with FLECS
FLECS subscription plans define the operational and commercial framework for running software-defined automation platforms based on FLECS.
They enable companies to launch, operate, and scale industrial software. Including apps, marketplaces, and device interfaces, without building or maintaining the underlying platform infrastructure themselves.
Whether you are a Machine Builder, Component Manufacturer, Plant Operator, App Vendor, or System Integrator, FLECS provides a subscription model aligned with your role, scale, and business requirements.
FLECS delivers the platform foundation and services. You retain ownership, branding, customer access, and responsibility.
