We offer a professional workshop on the low-code tool Node-RED to enable efficient and professional development of production-ready digitization applications. Participants will learn about the editor's customization options through targeted settings and how to optimally structure data flows. The workings of a state machine will also be explained, as well as the development of specialized displays. Finally, participants will gain practical insights into the creation of Node building blocks for easy reuse.

Agenda:

• Introduction to Node-RED

• Node-RED environment and settings: User Folder, Settings, Projects

• Flow structuring: function calls, sub-flow variables, variables, groupings, links and symbols

• State Machine: Networking adapter and OPCUA

• Display: CSS module, free calling of UI elements, multi-user dashboard, SVG, short introduction to Dashboard 2.0

• Node creation: based on subflows, based on JavaScript and HTML, testing the created nodes



Node-RED can be used in production as:

• Middleware for networking systems

• Rules Engine with alarm function

• mobile display for machines

• System for entering process declarations

• Assistance system to support tasks using user and context-specific information

• Basis for the realization of expandable Industry 4.0 applications, e.g. location and order control

• central tool for retrofit, modernfit and IIoT applications
