FlowForge's visit to Hannover Messe 2023

"Do you use Node-RED?" This simple question became our favorite conversation opener as ZJ and I attended Hannover Messe, the world's leading industrial trade fair.

To our delight, the answer was almost always "Yes." This allowed us to dive into truly fruitful discussions with Node-RED experts, exploring the latest industry trends, connecting with potential partners, and sharing our vision for the future of Node-RED in the manufacturing sector. During our visit, we had the pleasure of engaging with several vendors, including Bosch Rexroth, Siemens, Wago, Weidmüller, RevolutionPi, and more. It was genuinely inspiring to see the widespread adoption and usage of Node-RED across the entire industry. See also our arcticle about the adoption of Node-RED for PLCs and Gateways.

FlowForge's innovative solutions, such as remote deployment of Node-RED instances, seamless updates, effortless rollbacks, and built-in security, are already addressing many challenges faced by Node-RED users in the industry today. The positive feedback we received at Hannover Messe has bolstered our commitment to making Node-RED more accessible and production-ready for industrial and enterprise scenarios. As we forge ahead, we are eager to collaborate with more partners, learn from industry leaders, and remain at the forefront of Node-RED development. Together, we can build a more connected, efficient, and innovative manufacturing industry. With each new booth we visited and every conversation we had, it became increasingly clear that Node-RED and FlowForge are well on their way to becoming an integral part of the industrial landscape.
