Overview
Product Overview
FlexScript Lite v3.1 is a modern, lightweight web-based robot programmer designed for OEMs, system integrators, and automation engineers seeking rapid deployment and seamless interoperability across heterogeneous robotic platforms. As a purpose-built programming software solution, it eliminates local installation overhead by running entirely in secure web browsers—enabling real-time robot control, logic scripting, and diagnostics via standardized HTTP robot API endpoints. Its compact 50MB footprint and built-in robot protocol abstraction layer (supporting UR, Fanuc, KUKA e-Series, and ROS2-compatible controllers) make it ideal for edge-constrained environments and CI/CD-integrated factory automation workflows.
Unlike legacy offline IDEs, FlexScript Lite delivers collaborative, version-aware programming through role-based web interfaces—empowering cross-functional teams to develop, test, and deploy motion sequences without vendor lock-in. The free tier includes full API access, up to 3 connected robots, and unlimited script execution—making it a scalable entry point for smart manufacturing initiatives.
Key Features
- Zero-install, browser-native web-based robot programmer with TLS 1.3-secured HTTPS API
- Unified robot protocol translator supporting Modbus TCP, URScript, KAREL, and ROS2 action servers
- Lightweight architecture (FlexScript Lite core: only 50MB disk footprint)
- RESTful HTTP robot API with Swagger documentation, webhook support, and OAuth2 authentication
- Real-time visualization dashboard with trajectory playback, I/O monitoring, and error logging
- Git-integrated script repository with diff, rollback, and audit trail capabilities
