Simple windows-based operations
   
RoboFlo is constructed with a familiar Windows-based architecture and visual, top-down process flow allowing line personnel and managers alike to easily identify the current state of production so problems can be quickly resolved. RoboFlo has a variety of built-in functions that save programming time. If a change in the program is required, production does not have to endure a lengthy delay while a programmer types new code into the system. With RoboFlo, programmers can simply select a built-in function, set its parameters, and go! Programmers no longer have to adjust to a new computer language syntax, which usually accompanies most robotic control software.

Visual Diagnostics
   
Once a program procedure has been determined, anyone can understand what the program is designed to do. Visual diagnostics aid in quick comprehension of program execution. Procedure buttons are located on the screen in a top-down manner just like they will be executed. Icons assigned to each button clearly show the user what type of action will be performed when execution flow reaches the button. Serving as a further visual aid, green active bars surround the processes that are being executed.

Control Multiple Processes at once
   
Another feature of RoboFlo is multitasking. It is simple to have RoboFlo control multiple processes at once. In this case, green active bars may surround multiple processes simultaneously. A status bar at the bottom of the screen alerts the user to what the state of the program is in - whether it is running, inactive, or waiting on a process to finish. Visually being able to track a program through its entirety can provide many advantages on any manufacturers assembly line.
