• Comment: Although you have correctly declared a WP:COI, note that it also states "COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence and risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and companies being promoted. Editors with a COI are sometimes unaware of whether or how much it has influenced their editing." Greenman (talk) 19:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Coreflux is an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform that focuses on facilitating the integration of devices, machines, and systems in industrial settings:[1].

Components edit

The following are identified as key components[2]

  • User Management: mechanisms for controlling user access and permissions, providing administrators with tools to manage user roles and access rights.
  • Bridges Between Data Hubs: connectivity between different data hubs through MQTT brokers, enabling data exchange across multiple hubs.
  • Unified Namespace for MQTT: unified namespace for MQTT to streamline the organization and accessibility of MQTT topics.
  • Tags, Orchestration, and Models: tools for managing, tagging, orchestrating, and modeling IoT devices and workflows.

The platform lists connectors for devices across multiple specific protocols or manufacturers. The underlying architecture is described as being based on a micro-service pattern in order to be scalable, by accommodating a number of devices ranging from a few to several thousand. It includes security features that focus on protecting data and devices connected to the platform, including encrypted communication channels and authentication mechanisms, namely the use of Certificates and TLS Encryption, as well as Auth mechanisms for topic-level access control.[2]

Real-time data processing capabilities are emphasized as a means to facilitate immediate communication and decision-making, while the employment of a modular design is described as providing customization to answer specific industrial needs. According to media sources, Coreflux has case studies in multiple industries, such as Industry 4.0[3], Machine Manufacturing [4], and Facility Management[5]

Architecture edit

The underlying MQTT Broker is a central component for real-time data management and communication, acting as the tool's message broker. At its core is MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT), a lightweight messaging protocol widely used in IoT applications. Coreflux is a Data Hub and Pipeline, based on MQTT 3.1.1 and 5.0, designed to handle vast amounts of data from various sources: connectors, orchestrators, or model generators[1].

Assets contain a proprietary domain-specific language, called Flux DSL, for designing event-driven workflows and orchestrating complex IoT scenarios[2]. This language is currently described as being in Beta stage.
