Hardware integration
The industrial browser TheFlex represents a bridge for the opened websites, web apps and Fiori apps, via which the hardware of the device can be accessed. For this purpose, TheFlex provides functions that can be called up by the developers of the websites and apps. The following table provides an overview of the most important hardware connections.
| hardware or sensor | Description |
|---|---|
| NFC | Provides the ability to read and write NFC tags or send and receive data to and from other NFC-enabled devices. |
| Vibration | Enables or disables the vibration of the device. |
| Camera | Offers the possibility to open the camera and take a picture. |

Note
Integration with the various hardware is made possible via browser interfaces. This allows developers of websites or apps to integrate these functions. More information on the integration can be found in the corresponding developer articles:
