Smart Factory Use Case
This workflow implements intelligent monitoring and early warning functions for industrial production workshops. It collects sensor data from the factory in real-time and automatically converts temperature units. When the temperature reaches or exceeds 50°C, the system automatically triggers a warning event and records it in the database to ensure timely response and tracking. This process effectively monitors equipment status, prevents failures caused by abnormal temperatures, and enhances equipment reliability and production safety, making it suitable for smart manufacturing and industrial IoT scenarios.

Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables intelligent monitoring and alerting within industrial production workshops. It collects factory sensor data in real-time, automatically converts temperature units, and evaluates whether temperature thresholds are exceeded to trigger alert events. Alert events are automatically created via the PagerDuty system and recorded in a database, ensuring timely response and traceability of abnormal conditions.
Core Problems Addressed
- Real-time monitoring of factory equipment temperature to detect anomalies (≥50°C);
- Automatic triggering and management of equipment fault events to prevent failures or safety hazards caused by excessive temperature;
- Unified storage of equipment operational data and anomaly event data to facilitate subsequent analysis and decision support.
Application Scenarios
- Intelligent manufacturing factory equipment monitoring;
- Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data acquisition and anomaly alerting;
- Production line equipment status management and maintenance warning.
Main Workflow Steps
- Receive factory sensor data (temperature, equipment runtime, timestamp, etc.) in real-time through an AMQP trigger node;
- Execute a custom function to convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, enriching the data;
- Evaluate whether the temperature reaches or exceeds the 50°C threshold;
- If exceeded, automatically invoke PagerDuty to create an incident and store the incident information in the incident_data database table;
- If not exceeded, skip the anomaly handling process;
- Store equipment sensor data (temperature, equipment name, runtime, timestamp) in the machine_data database table to ensure data integrity.
Involved Systems or Services
- AMQP Message Queue (receiving factory sensor data)
- PagerDuty (automatic incident creation and management)
- CrateDB (storage of industrial data and event data)
- n8n Custom Function Node (temperature data conversion)
Target Users and Value
- Factory automation engineers and operations teams for real-time equipment monitoring and fault alerting;
- Industrial IoT solution providers to assist clients in achieving intelligent manufacturing digital transformation;
- Production managers leveraging data-driven anomaly alerts to enhance equipment reliability and production safety.
Backup Workflows to Git Repository on Gitea
This workflow implements regular backups of automated processes to a designated Gitea Git repository, ensuring secure storage and version management of the workflow. It is automatically triggered every 45 minutes to detect changes in the workflow, updating the repository only when there are content changes to avoid duplicate submissions. The built-in Base64 encoding enhances the security of data transmission, while flexible conditional checks ensure the accuracy of newly added or updated files, making it suitable for users who require private deployment and efficient management of automated processes.
Scheduled Website Status Monitoring and Alert Workflow
This workflow implements scheduled status monitoring for multiple websites, automatically checking website responses every 6 hours and intelligently assessing changes in their operational status. Alerts are sent through multiple channels, such as email and Slack, to ensure that relevant personnel are promptly informed of website downtimes or recoveries. Additionally, the detection results are recorded in real-time in Google Sheets, facilitating subsequent analysis and tracking. This automated monitoring significantly reduces the workload of manual checks, improves operational efficiency, and ensures stable business operations.
Telegram Tron Wallet Blacklist Checker
This workflow automatically queries the blacklist status of USDT wallet addresses on the TRON blockchain through a Telegram bot. Users simply need to send the wallet address, and the system will call the Tronscan API for verification, quickly providing feedback on whether the address is on the blacklist. This process simplifies wallet security checks, helping users avoid transactions with blacklisted addresses, thereby effectively safeguarding their funds. It is suitable for cryptocurrency trading platforms, investors, compliance teams, and more.
LogiGreenTrack — Real-Time Logistics Delivery Tracking Assistant
LogiGreenTrack is a real-time tracking assistant for logistics delivery that interacts with drivers through a Telegram bot, simplifying the collection and management of delivery information. Drivers can easily submit delivery order numbers, GPS locations, and photos of the goods, while the system automatically handles data storage and sharing, enhancing the efficiency of information transmission. This workflow integrates multiple platforms to achieve transparent management of delivery status, helping logistics companies monitor delivery progress in real-time and optimize last-mile delivery management.
n8n Automated Backup Management
This workflow implements automated backup management, capable of regularly backing up current workflow data and synchronizing the backup files to a designated Google Drive folder. It automatically creates and manages backup folders, periodically moving and renaming old backups, while also supporting the cleanup of files that exceed the set retention days, effectively saving storage space. By utilizing batch processing for uploads, it ensures a stable and efficient backup process, making it suitable for both businesses and individual users, thereby enhancing data security and management efficiency.
Create and Update a Channel, and Send a Message on Twist
This workflow can automatically create and update channels on the Twist platform while sending messages with quick navigation buttons to specified users. By automating these operations, it simplifies the channel management and information notification processes, effectively enhancing team communication efficiency and collaboration experience. It is particularly suitable for scenarios such as project initiation, remote collaboration, and document updates, ensuring timely information delivery and preventing omissions and delays. It is ideal for project managers, product teams, and any organization using Twist.
Line Save File to Google Drive and Log File's URL
This workflow automatically receives file messages from LINE, saves the files to a specified folder in Google Drive, and records the file details in Google Sheets. It achieves orderly and secure file management through dynamic classification and file type verification. Additionally, it supports automatic replies to users regarding the upload results, enhancing communication efficiency and user experience. This workflow is suitable for both businesses and individuals to efficiently manage files and maintain upload logs.
Monitoring and Alerting
This workflow implements real-time monitoring and automatic alerting functions. It periodically queries abnormal sensor data from a Postgres database and automatically sends SMS alert notifications, ensuring that information is accurate, timely, and non-repetitive. It is suitable for scenarios such as industrial equipment and server performance, enabling automated monitoring of data thresholds, improving response speed, reducing the risk of human error, and helping enterprises enhance operational efficiency.
