Manufacturing sites standardized from a single platform without rebuilding
Industrial innovation is accelerating. Execution is not.
Teams can access data and build applications faster than ever. But the operational logic that drives throughput, quality, and response still lives in custom code, isolated scripts, and one-off solutions that don't scale.
Every solution starts from scratch
Operational logic stays local. The same problem gets solved differently at every site, by every team, every time.
Your core systems don't cover everything
MES, ERP, and SCADA solve standard problems well. The workflows in the gaps — quality gates, shift handovers, custom validation — fall back to custom code and manual workarounds.
What works on one line won't scale to fifty
A working solution on one machine requires rebuilding from scratch for the next site. There is no system to standardize, deploy, and govern what works

The missing operational layer
FlowFuse is the industrial application platform that sits between your systems and your operations
Whether you're extending an existing system, standardizing a proven solution across sites, or connecting OT and IT data flows — FlowFuse gives your team the platform to build once and run everywhere.
Low-code development with FlowFuse Expert
Build operational workflows your core systems can't
Create the operational applications that MES, ERP, and SCADA platforms struggle to support natively — from quality validation and workforce assignment to shift handovers and production visibility. Describe what you need in plain language and FlowFuse Expert generates the starting logic directly in your workspace.
Device Agent and DevOps Pipelines
Standardize proven workflows across every site
Turn a successful workflow on one machine or line into a repeatable operational standard across plants. Roll out updates with version control, staged deployments, and centrally managed industrial devices. No more rebuilding from scratch for every site, or leaving improvements siloed in one location.
Flow-based IT/OT connectivity
Connect shop floor events to enterprise systems
Move production events, work orders, alarms, and operational data securely between PLCs, edge devices, MES, ERP, cloud platforms, and operator interfaces — without brittle point-to-point integrations or exposing inbound firewall ports.
What mature adoption looks like
From one-off solutions to an operational application system
These are not use cases — these are production applications running across the business. Built once, governed centrally, deployed across every site.
Operational Application System
Production Monitoring
OEE tracking across lines, shifts, and plants.
Continuous Improvement
Digital CI workflow from suggestion to closure.
Workforce Assignment
Dynamic operator allocation using training, ergonomics, and demand data.
Shop Floor Communication
Real-time alerts, escalation, and cross-site coordination.
Quality Validation
Inline inspection and QA checks outside the core system.
Track & Trace
Part, component, and batch traceability across the plant.
Equipment Monitoring
PLC and device health monitoring across controller types.
Operational Data Pipelines
Structured controller data flows, diagnostics, and routing.
System Diagnostics
Error tracking and root cause analysis across deployed applications.
Every problem solved becomes a reusable application
That's how a small team manages operations across dozens of sites — without rebuilding from scratch every time.

"Without FlowFuse, I would be able to support maybe one production unit, but that's it. […] It's not just about connecting machines - it's about creating the foundation that makes everything else possible"
Felix Reck, IT Application Manager, Walter
"FlowFuse's enterprise features complement our broader platform strategy, helping us scale automation and streamline deployments across complex manufacturing environments."
Sevan Petrosian, Senior Application Engineer, Arch Systems
"FlowFuse removes concerns about scalability and reliability. It also makes it a lot easier for us to complete security audits for our customers."
Alan Yeung, CTO, Power Workplace
"FlowFuse has helped us take our Node-RED from proof-of-concept through to a reliable, scalable solution for the future."

AI in industrial operations
AI makes building faster. FlowFuse makes it operational.
AI accelerates the build
FlowFuse Expert, our industrial-tuned AI assistant, lets your team describe what they need in plain language — and generates flows, data transformations, and dashboard logic. No waiting on scarce developers.
FlowFuse governs the result
Speed without governance creates new debt. FlowFuse provides the production layer where AI-assisted work becomes visible, versioned, secure, and reusable — across the enterprise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Node-RED is the open-source runtime FlowFuse is built on — it's how you build the logic. FlowFuse adds everything after the build: deployment across sites, version control, team access management, and enterprise security. You can use FlowFuse without prior Node-RED experience.
No. FlowFuse Expert, our AI-assisted development tool, lets your team describe what they need in plain language and generates the logic. Your team can build without a steep learning curve.
Yes — FlowFuse is designed for brownfield environments. It connects to and extends your existing MES, ERP, SCADA, PLCs, and other systems without replacing them or requiring modifications to core platforms.
FlowFuse is SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certified. It supports RBAC, SSO, audit logs, and air-gapped self-hosted deployments for environments with strict network isolation requirements.
Most teams are operational within days. FlowFuse is designed to start with a single use case and expand — not require a multi-month implementation before delivering value.
