Why FlowFuse
FlowFuse is the easiest, fastest, most sustainable way to build and operate applications that help you optimize industrial processes.
From pilot to production, innovation in industry starts with the right foundation. Node-RED, pioneered by our own CTO Nick O’Leary, empowers thousands to connect data, automate, and build ideas rapidly.
FlowFuse takes that power further—enabling secure, governed, and AI-accelerated scale for your most critical operations.
Ready to move beyond the prototype?
"My Node-RED flows are no longer side projects – they run real operations."
"I need security, access control, and versioning I can trust."
"I am tired of managing scattered Node-RED instances manually."
"I wish I had an AI copilot that actually understands my Node-RED flows."
From Pilot to Production
Supercharge your Node-RED experience
FlowFuse and Node-RED form a seamless continuum: start with the creativity and agility of Node-RED, and scale with enterprise-ready security, audit trails, versioning, and AI Copilot tools FlowFuse offers.
