FlowFuse Expert in Practice: From 4,000 Data Points to Actionable Insights
This episode is proudly made possible by FlowFuse. FlowFuse is the industrial application platform that helps operations, maintenance, and IT teams connect any machine, move data between systems, and build applications faster — without replacing the engineers who know the plant best. Built on Node-RED, with the security and governance you need for production environments. Learn more at flowfuse.com.
In part 2 of our 3-part FlowFuse mini-series on Unplugged: An IIoT Podcast, hosts Phil Seboa and Ed Fuentes get practical with Kristopher Sandoval of FlowFuse. We move from “what is the application gap” to “what does closing it actually look like on the shop floor.”
Kristopher walks through real operational use cases — OEE dashboards, shift handover workflows, quality validation, and asset monitoring — leading with the operational problem first, then the working application. We dig into the technical mechanics: how FlowFuse Expert translates a plain-language operational need into Node-RED nodes and flows, the immersive editor improvements in FlowFuse 2.30, and the governance layer (snapshot comparisons, change review, deployment management) that keeps applications production-ready.
The headline: idea-to-working-prototype drops from weeks or months to minutes.
