💡What we do

Learn how FLECS helps machine builders, component makers, operators, and developers create scalable automation solutions with apps and marketplaces.

Making industrial automation scalable, modular and software-driven.

FLECS Technologies is on a mission to change the way automation works. We bring the convenience and flexibility of modern software ecosystems into industrial environments – where real machines, components and processes need to run reliably.

Traditionally, automation systems are locked into proprietary software, vendor-specific platforms and long development cycles. That’s costly, slow, and limits innovation. FLECS solves this by offering a unified platform that turns Linux-based controllers into open, app-capable systems – all managed through a central marketplace and runtime.

Marketplace as a Service – your own App Store for automation

We enable companies to launch their own App Store for industrial use. This isn’t just a listing site – it’s a fully functional, branded, and integrated marketplace environment that runs on your infrastructure, under your control.

Instead of investing years and millions into developing such a system, FLECS delivers:

• A ready-to-use marketplace infrastructure (frontend & backend)

• Secure licensing, deployment, and update management

• White-labeling options to match your brand and customer flow

• Open APIs to integrate with existing systems

This is what we call Marketplace as a Service – a scalable foundation for building digital business models in automation.

Our Customers

FLECS supports four distinct types of customers – each with their own goals and workflows.

Machine Builders

Use FLECS to deploy custom apps, diagnostics tools, and remote services directly on their machines. They select relevant standard apps, add their own software, and deliver it through a private app store to machine operators.

✔ Faster time to market for digital services ✔ Improved machine functionality through software ✔ Lifecycle and update management for all deployed software ✔ New revenue models (subscriptions, digital options)

Component Manufacturers

Combine their hardware with apps that make their components smarter and easier to integrate. With FLECS, they offer value-added services, boost adoption, and position themselves as system providers.

✔ Showcase own components through digital tools ✔ Provide pre-packaged solutions including apps ✔ Use the marketplace to generate visibility and revenue ✔ Expand from "just hardware" to "hardware + digital experience"

Factory Operators

Use FLECS to build software-defined factories. That means app-based automation, secure updates, and scalable management of heterogeneous machines.

✔ Unify software deployment across the plant ✔ Reduce dependency on specific vendors ✔ Increase uptime and agility ✔ Enable less specialized staff to maintain complex systems

App Developers

Publish apps directly to the FLECS Marketplace and reach industrial users at scale. Later, grow into their own branch marketplace with a full ecosystem under their branding.

✔ Fast go-to-market for industrial apps ✔ White-labeled store for own toolchain or vertical solution ✔ Native integration with Linux-based automation hardware ✔ Keep full control over licensing and customer support
