Take Digital Transformation From Pilot to Every Plant

Show Results at Every Plant, Not Just the Pilot Site
Operations wants results it can see. IT wants it governed. And leadership keeps asking why the pilot hasn't reached the other plants. Here's what changes with FlowFuse:
Adoption
A standard plants choose to use
Plants take it up because it fixes problems they already track, so adoption doesn't depend on a mandate from the center.
Speed
The next plant starts from what's proven
Each new site starts from the version that already works, so a rollout is a deployment, not another project.
Value
Results the business can compare
Every site reports the same measures the same way, so you can show what the program delivered, plant by plant.
Control
A program that stays governed as it grows
More plants can join without the program drifting, because who builds, who deploys and what changed are always on record.
What FlowFuse Adds to Your Digital Transformation Program
The data foundation, plant applications and rollout control that turn one successful pilot into a network-wide standard.
One Data Foundation Across Plants
Every machine and system, connected and structured the same way.
Old and new equipment, MES, ERP and SCADA connected at every site without ripping anything out, with the data shaped the same way so it's ready for analytics and AI.
- Siemens, Allen-Bradley, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT and 5,000+ other integrations
- Consistent naming and structure, so data from every plant compares
- Plant data delivered to your data lake, cloud or AI tools
Build the Use Cases Plants Ask For
Applications your core systems don't cover.
OEE, downtime, quality and energy applications, built by your team or the plants' own engineers rather than added to a vendor's backlog.
- Blueprints for common plant use cases to start from
- The same KPIs calculated the same way at every site
- An AI assistant that drafts flows and dashboards for engineers to review
Roll Out Without Rebuilding
Prove it once, deploy it to every plant.
A proven application is promoted through stages and deployed to a group of sites, with each plant's differences held in its own settings.
- Development, test and production stages
- Deployment by site, region or line
- Version history and rollback for every application
Run the Program From One Place
Every site, every version and every change in one view.
One platform that IT and the plants both work in. Your central team sees what's running where, who changed it and when, and decides who can build and deploy.
- Role-based access and single sign-on
- An audit log of every change
- Remote updates, without site visits
Your Team Sets the Standard. We Help You Scale It.
We work alongside your central team from the first use case, and stay with you as it reaches every plant.
Finding the first use case
Our engineers help you pick a first use case with a clear result and an owner at the plant, shape the business case behind it, then build it with your team.
A small team for many plants
Your central team sets the standard and the guardrails, and we help train people at each site to work within them, so a team of a few can support many plants.
Never locked in
FlowFuse is built on open-source Node-RED. Everything you build belongs to you, and your team can change it without waiting on us.
