Course Description

Node-Red is a flow-based development tool for visual programming using a pallet of nodes with built-in functionality that can be connected to other nodes for design applications.

This course provides basic knowledge of Node-Red and its application and teaches you how to use dashboard nodes to visualise data retrieved from a machine and the state-of-the-art training equipment Modular Production System will be used.

Course Duration: 24 hours
