    AppStudio is a no-code software tool for users of all experience levels to quickly create customized robotic user interfaces. With features including a collaborative cloud-based library to share application templates, AppStudio can reduce setup times by up to 80%.

    It's compatible with all ABB robots on the OmniCore controller platform. After installing the software, users can repurpose a previously used setup or select from a cloud-based library of templates, models, modules, and examples enabling them to select options in 20 languages. Alternatively, customized interfaces can be created to fit any device and application, including the OmniCore FlexPendant, tablets, and mobile phones.

    AppStudio is available as a free download from ABB's website.

    AppStudio also supports customers migrating from the IRC5 controller to the OmniCore platform, taking only minutes to rebuild interfaces.

    With drag-and-drop functionality, AppStudio offers a simplified configuration where users can add icons, dropdown menus, buttons, and other functions to tailor the interface to their needs. It also supports more advanced users, who can build custom interface elements using a JavaScript-based component kit, enabling a high degree of customization. Once developed, these elements can be shared with other users for collaboration.

    Once an interface has been created, it can be deployed to the ABB robot or a digital twin in ABB's RobotStudio programming tool. Through this connection, the robot can be programmed to carry out specific commands, such as performing an action or opening a gripper.
