But if you want to turn this into a professional IoT solution, there isn’t a good way to do so… well, not until now. This makes Node-RED an easy option to quickly collect, process and send data elsewhere. Node-RED is a great tool to stitch a data flow together. You can then use an AWS node to send this data to the AWS cloud.
For example, you can create a flow with a MODBUS node reading industrial data from a PLC or you can use the MQTT broker node to collect data from sensors. Node-RED has a vibrant community of contributors that share ready-to-use nodes and flows for IoT data collection, processing and integration. We will show you how to turn a Node-RED flow into a complete IoT solution with a web-based user interface, dashboards, rules, notifications and data storage. It is a visual, flow-based development environment that allows you to drag and drop nodes that process data and stitch them together. Node-RED is a popular open source IoT software that was originally developed by IBM.
