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.
Â
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
