Using Node-Red to Visualize Dairy Production Data via Modbus

The dairy industry is under consideration, namely the possibility of collecting data from sensors of the technological process of whipping cream into butter to assess the quality of the finished product. In today’s conditions of general digitalization and the Industry 4.0 strategy, the industrial sector is gradually integrating industrial IoT trends that combine automation, big data, IoT, Cloud. In this work, we will try to make it clear how easy it is to store, analyze and visualize data from certain industrial systems with the help of innovative IT developments using the advantages of the Node-RED inter-face. At industrial plants, the set of data on technological parameters is avail-able only to the equipment operator through the HMI. The integration of Node-RED with the cloud application Google Sheet (spreadsheet) is shown for storing data in the cloud, analyzing and visualizing data of technological parameters. Node-RED, along with the Modbus and Dashboard modules, can easily create a web dashboard that can be shared via a web link and viewed in any web browser on the network.
