Image recognition technologies have been widely used in industrial use cases such as surveillance and factory assembly inspection. Since the state-of-the-art production lines have already adopted Node-RED to retrieve sensor data and send them to the cloud database, factory engineers will be able to implement an additional flow using image…

In this article, I will introduce version control of Node-RED flows using the Git integration functionality. This version control functionality is the core of Git integration with Node-RED, as the Git command is used within Node-RED to record version history. …

Node-RED is a great development environment to build Industrial IoT applications without coding. To manage and develop these applications efficiently, Git integration is crucial. As described in the previous article, Git integration has three aspects, switching projects, version control, and flow sharing with other flow developers. This article will focus…

In this article, I will introduce Git integration functionality in Node-RED. Using Raspberry Pi devices or cloud services, many hobby users have quickly been developing their flow by just connecting nodes to realize their idea of IoT systems like home automation or RPA. To utilize these great experiences as flow…

In the world, there are a lot of Node-RED services like FlowForge, Siemens MindSphere, Prescient Devices, and krysp.io. If you’re familiar with the method to deploy software code to the cloud, you can also use PaaS or Web IDE environments to execute the Node-RED flow editor. …

In this article, I will introduce the development method of the Node-RED’s node from the subflow. Subflow is a component block that enables users to reuse flow by the same method as “function” in the general programming language. …

I’m Kazuhito Yokoi at OSS Solution Center in Hitachi, Ltd. In the previous article, I introduced how to use Node-RED Operator on Red Hat OpenShift. In this article, I will explain the procedures to connect the Node-RED environment with the TensorFlow container on the OpenShift. Use case Here, we will…

I’m Kazuhito Yokoi at OSS Solution Center in Hitachi, Ltd. In this article, I will explain how to use Node-RED on OpenShift. Thanks to the OpenShift web console, users can easily deploy the Node-RED environment without command-line operations even if they are beginners. …

In this post, I will explain how to use the “Node generator” which makes it easy to create Node-RED nodes. What is the Node generator? Node generator is a command-line tool that can create custom nodes automatically. This tool provides functionality to generate the code of Node-RED node from Open API…
