An essential tool for Node-RED in IIoT applications
What do you like best about the product?
I'm using FlowFuse to manage distributed Node-RED instances in an industrial IoT setup. What I really like is the ability to keep track of flow versions, deploy changes in a controlled way, and have full audit logs of who did what. The fact that it's open source is a big plus. Together with Node-RED, FlowFuse feels like a Swiss Army knife for IIoT. Lightweight, flexible, and extremely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, there’s not much I dislike. If I had to mention something, it would be that getting started with some of the more advanced features might require a bit of a learning curve—especially if you're new to managing multiple Node-RED instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using FlowFuse to connect industrial machines with existing systems like ERP and MES. It also helps me automate processes across different machines by linking them together through Node-RED. With FlowFuse, I can manage everything centrally, keep track of changes, and roll out updates reliably—even across multiple locations. That saves time and avoids chaos in production environments.
