Overview of all features

This section lists all the features of TheFlex that make working in an industrial environment easier. An industrial browser not only lives from the connection of scanners or security functions, but also from the simplification of the operation of websites and apps.

Users should not be restricted by industrial browsers, but should be able to work more effectively and comfortably. This is achieved with many of the features listed here. The following table lists the most important features and links to the corresponding detail pages.
