The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) industry is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and productivity. The Node-RED IoT Gateway is one of the tools that has proven to be very effective in this regard. The tool provides a range of features that can significantly improve smart efficiency in the OEM industry.
Node-RED is an open source software tool that provides a graphical user interface for connecting various devices, APIs, and services to create IoT applications. It is commonly used in IoT-gateways, an IoT gateway development tool that allows developers to easily connect and manage data flow between IoT devices, cloud services, and other applications.
The role of Node-RED in IoT gateway
IoT gateway acts as a bridge between IoT sensors/actuators and the Internet. It handles all communication between sensors, field devices, and remote connections such as the Internet, applications, or users. In this communication, the IoT gateway collects data locally and then sends it to the cloud system, usually via MQTT or AMQP.
Node-RED plays a central role in this process. It allows developers to create complex IoT workflows and automation rules without requiring advanced programming knowledge. With Node-RED, developers can easily build IoT gateways using open source software and Raspberry Pi.
Node-RED’s Advantages in the OEM Industry
1. Interoperability: IoT gateways simplify the collaboration of many different old and new devices in IoT scenarios. They transmit the collected data to the Internet or a central IoT platform or cloud architecture. Node-RED supports HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket, TCP, and UTP protocols, creating great convenience for communication between devices and cloud servers.
2. Schaalbaarheid: Node-RED provides a web-based visual programming environment by dragging and dropping defined nodes into the workspace and then creating data flows. There are nearly 225,000 modules in Node’s package repository, so you can add any new functionality you like.
3. Efficiency: Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that connects flows using a range of available network nodes in the palette. This results in significant reductions in data volume and associated operating costs.
4. Beveiliging: Only the IoT gateway is accessible through the IP address space, but not all devices or sensors1. This provides the OEM industry with an additional layer of security.
All in all, the Node-RED IoT gateway is a powerful tool that can significantly improve the smart efficiency of the OEM industry. Its ability to easily connect and manage data flows, coupled with scalability and security features, makes it a valuable asset for any OEM looking to improve operations and productivity.
