What it does

A web-based SCADA and HMI tool for drawing process screens and dashboards connected to PLCs and devices over Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT and Siemens S7.

An Apache industrial IoT toolbox for connecting sources like OPC UA and S7, building streaming pipelines in a graphical editor and exploring time-series data on dashboards.

Watch out

Fine for monitoring and light control, but it lacks the redundancy and certification that safety-critical sites expect.

Runs as several services on Docker or Kubernetes and needs care to operate; still below 1.0.
