Node-RED Manufacturing Architecture

The architecture of a factory's Node-RED infrastructure is a common topic of discussion and inquiry. Fundamentally, my response to such queries unfolds in two parts.

The other part of the question delves into the positioning of FlowFuse and Node-RED within the network infrastructure.
