FlowFuse Industrial Application Platform

Description

FlowFuse is an industrial application platform designed to streamline the development and deployment of applications across manufacturing sites. It provides a low-code environment that allows teams to build operational workflows that traditional MES, ERP, and SCADA systems struggle to support. With FlowFuse, users can create applications for quality validation, workforce assignment, and production visibility using plain language descriptions, which are then translated into operational logic by FlowFuse Expert, an AI-tuned assistant.

The platform is trusted by over 36,000 users and has been implemented in more than 20 manufacturing sites, offering a 50% reduction in scrap rates and a 10x faster deployment time. FlowFuse enables teams to standardize successful workflows across multiple sites without the need for rebuilding from scratch. It provides a comprehensive solution for connecting shop floor events to enterprise systems, ensuring secure data flow between PLCs, edge devices, and cloud platforms.

FlowFuse supports mature adoption by transforming one-off solutions into centrally governed operational application systems. It offers features like real-time alerts, dynamic operator allocation, and inline inspection, making it a versatile tool for industrial operations. The platform is built on Node-RED, an open-source runtime, and extends its capabilities with deployment, version control, and enterprise security features.

FlowFuse is designed for both brownfield and greenfield environments, allowing seamless integration with existing systems without requiring modifications. It is SOC 2 Type I and II certified, supporting role-based access control, single sign-on, and audit logs. The platform is suitable for teams looking to quickly operationalize AI-assisted work, providing a secure and reusable production layer.
