Setup assistant in FLEXIMATE HMI: Smart automation without programming effort

August 26, 2025

Production automation faces major challenges today: increasing product diversity, changing order sizes, and a growing shortage of skilled workers. Companies need solutions that are not only flexible and efficient, but also easy to use—without requiring in-depth programming knowledge. This is exactly where the setup assistent in the HMI of the FLEXIMATE Robotic Workstation comes in.

How the setup assitent works

The setup assistent guides users step by step through the cobot’s teaching process. Everything is done intuitively via the graphical user interface – no coding required:

Guided process configuration: From pick-and-place to quality checks to material feeding – every task can be set visually.
Step mode: The program can be checked slowly using the actual travel distances.
Independent learning of new tasks: Adjustments to new products or workpieces can be set up quickly without the need for a software developer to intervene.
Reduced setup times: Processes can be set up and put into production more quickly, which significantly increases production efficiency.

Why HMI design is crucial today

A well-designed human-machine interface (HMI) is more than just a control panel. It has a direct impact on:

Employee acceptance: Intuitive operation makes it easier to use and increases motivation.
Efficiency and process reliability: Setup errors are minimized and processes run more smoothly.
Flexibility: Changes in production can be implemented quickly and reliably.

Modern web-based HMIs, such as INOSOFT’s VisiWin 7 Web UI, support precisely these requirements. They combine user-friendliness with open architecture, allowing individual customizations to be implemented easily – all without in-depth programming knowledge.

Collaboration with INOSOFT: Maximum flexibility

The partnership with INOSOFT GmbH makes it possible to equip the FLEXIMATE Robotic Workstation with a powerful web interface. Users benefit from:

Intuitive, browser-based operation
Open platform for individual customizations
Integration into existing production environments

This makes teaching the cobot not only faster and easier, but also future-proof and scalable.

Conclusion: Smart automation starts with the HMI

The setup assistent in the HMI shows that automation does not have to be complicated. Intuitive operation, guided processes, and a no-coding approach make FLEXIMATE a solution that combines efficiency, flexibility, and user-friendliness. For automation engineers, testing engineers, and automation project managers, this means more time for optimizing your processes and less time for complex software configuration.
