Overview
FlowFuse commercializes Node-RED for industrial use by providing an enterprise-grade PaaS that can run in the cloud or self-hosted. It centralizes management of many Node-RED instances, adds collaboration, versioning, and security features (RBAC and SSO), and supports remote edge deployment with centralized updates. A built-in DevOps pipeline, an AI Copilot, and a dashboarding tool speed development and UI creation for real-time data. The goal is to help manufacturing, logistics, and other data-heavy sectors bridge IT and OT by connecting devices, ERP systems, and cloud services at scale.
