FlowFuse’s Node-RED version comes with professional support from the Node-RED experts. FlowFuse, who employ the core Node-RED developers, will be your expert partner to address any support issues when running Node-RED applications in a production environment and ensuring any security updates are made available.
Node-RED is a low-code visual development environment that connects data from many different types of services, including industrial sensors, PLCs, enterprise services, and more. Developers create Node-RED applications by dragging and dropping nodes onto a canvas that creates flows of events for the data. In the industrial world, Node-RED is often deployed on PLCs, like ctrlX CORE, to analyze, filter and integrate the data before sending it to the cloud.
Dashboard your data from any source, like MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus
Node-RED is very popular with manufacturing companies because:
- its visual programming environment makes it possible for non-software developers to build real applications.
- a large library of nodes and flows make it trivial to connect different types of analog and digital services, including industrial protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT), databases, weather services, etc.
- Node-RED Dashboard makes it easy to visualize data in dashboards. Unlike other dashboards, Node-RED dashboards can include action and events that respond to the data
FlowFuse adds to Node-RED key features for enterprise deployments
- Enterprise support to handle production issues of Node-RED deployments.
- Custom nodes required for OT deployments that are supported by FlowFuse, including:
- Rexroth PLCs
- Modbus
- MQTT
- Omron PLCs
