+
+Manufacturing teams using FlowFuse are running industrial applications at scale — across plants, teams, and environments. As that scale grows, so do the expectations: faster deployments, tighter security, smarter tooling.
+
+Today we're announcing updates to our Enterprise tier that reflect where our customers are headed and the kind of platform they need to get there.
+
+**FlowFuse Enterprise now includes Certified Nodes and AI Insights.**

+
+## What's new in Enterprise
+
+### Certified Nodes
+
+One of the most consistent questions we hear from IT and security teams evaluating FlowFuse is: "Is FlowFuse secure and compliant enough for production?"
+
+Certified Nodes are our answer. Every node in the catalogue has been security-scanned, battle-tested, and comes with a clear support owner, along with enterprise level response times. That means your team gets the flexibility of the Node-RED ecosystem with the accountability that enterprise production environments demand.
+
+This isn't just a compliance checkbox. It's the foundation for **trusting your infrastructure** with the dependencies — and for IT and Operations to standardize on FlowFuse with confidence across sites.
+
+### AI Insights
+
+Building and iterating on flows takes time — time your team doesn't always have. AI Insights brings AI-assisted solution building directly into FlowFuse, reducing the effort required to go from idea to production.
+
+Whether you're onboarding a new site, adapting an existing flow, or troubleshooting a process, AI Insights helps your team do more with less — and get to value faster.
+
+Our goal is simple: **the first week of value should come faster than ever before.**
+
+## Built around three things that matter at scale
+
+These additions aren't standalone features — they reflect a deliberate focus on the three capabilities manufacturing enterprises need as they move from pilot to production to fleet.
+
+### Operational Scaling
+
+Deploy and manage Node-RED reliably across sites, teams, and environments — without the configuration drift and version inconsistency that comes with growth.
+
+### System Agility
+
+Build, iterate, and adapt faster with AI-assisted tooling. Certified Nodes and AI Insights together mean your team spends less time on asset modeling and more time on outcomes.
+
+### Event-Driven Data Bridge
+
+Connect your systems with operational responsiveness — not just bulk data collection. FlowFuse is built for the workflow-centric, event-driven logic that manufacturing operations actually run on.
+
+## What this means for your team
+
+FlowFuse has always been built on Node-RED — but Enterprise customers need more than a great open-source foundation. They need a platform they can stake production operations on.
+
+Certified Nodes and AI Insights are the next step in making FlowFuse that platform: more accountable, more capable, and faster to value than ever.
