What is Edge Software?

The Factory Runtime for Closing the Loop

Flexxbotics Edge Software, called FlexxEdge, is the runtime layer that is installed in the factory on lines and workcells near machines to capture protocol-level data, process real-time events, and enable closed-loop automation.

What Edge Software Does

From Data Capture to Controlled Action

Unlike production monitoring systems, Flexxbotics Edge Software collects greater detail, normalizes data and adds process context at the source, and supports controlled feedback responses with human-in-the-loop oversight.

Where It Fits

Works With Existing Factory Controls

Flexxbotics Edge Software does not replace deterministic control in PLCs or machine controllers. It works with those systems to collect real-time data and coordinate workflows.

The Difference

Beyond IIoT Data Collection and SCADA Monitoring

01

Runs Near Production

Deploys in lines and workcells across the plant.

02

Captures More Detail

Ingests all signals, variables, states, and events from every asset and device no matter what type.

03

Adds Real Production Context

Structures data so humans understand it, machines can read it, and AI can use it.

04

Detects & Supports Action

Recognizes drift, deviations, and anomalies and supports controlled actions when enabled.

05

Records Everything

Provides digital thread traceability for control, troubleshooting, and regulatory compliance.

01

Runs Near Production

We're particularly impressed with Flexxbotics compatibility across all makes and models of machines in our factory.
