Industrial automation manufacturer and Internet of Things application toolset provider Opto 22 has launched the Node-RED development environment running on the groov Box industrial appliance, significantly decreasing IIoT application development time and complexity.

Opto 22’s groov is a zero-programming, Web-based way to build, deploy, and view effective, scalable operator interfaces and system dashboards to monitor and control systems and equipment using mobile devices and other computer-based systems. Node-RED makes it easier to prototype, develop, and deploy applications for connecting physical assets to cloud applications and IT systems.

With the addition of the Node-RED development environment, groov is a uniquely suitable toolset for IIoT application developers, says Matt Newton, Director of Technical Marketing at Opto 22. groov fuses together an industrially rugged hardware platform, data visualization for mobile and web clients, robust industrial automation protocol support including Modbus/TCP and OPC UA, and advanced data flow processing. Add these to its ability to connect multiple data sources including devices, databases, and third-party APIs (application program interfaces), and groov becomes a single, cohesive, cost-effective, and powerful platform for nearly any IIoT or edge computing application.
