BFC is built for industrial applications that combine connected devices, local decisions, durable observations, and accessible data.
Read vibration, temperature, or other process values from an IO-Link condition sensor. Apply local thresholds, store the history in the Gateway, and visualize the latest state in Node-RED.
Collect UHF RFID observations at the edge, maintain active tag state, and expose tag reads to authenticated consumers through the Gateway REST API.
Translate process state into clear local feedback with SmartLight devices. Keep the decision at the controller and combine device input, automation rules, and output in one script.
Feed latest BFC values into visual flows with the custom Node-RED node. Build operator views or lightweight integrations with FlowFuse Dashboard components.
Use the interactive Console to explore behavior, then move repeatable logic into Lua lifecycle scripts. Package each experiment independently and observe it through container logs before expanding the application.
BFC is especially useful when a project needs to combine device access, local scripting, persistence, and integration quickly—without implying hard-real-time or safety control.
Reuse commissioning, runtime isolation, data storage, authentication, and dashboard integration across applications. Keep the project-specific value in your devices and automation logic.
