FUXA review
Open-source SCADA/HMI with browser-based editing, industrial protocols and a built-in historian.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
FUXA provides tools for building SCADA/HMI projects, dashboards and process visualizations, with a browser-based editor and visualization client. It is aimed at solo users and small or mid-market teams that want an open-source option for industrial systems. The open-source edition has no runtime license requirement, and projects can connect to industrial devices and data sources using protocols such as Modbus, Siemens S7, OPC UA, BACnet IP, MQTT and Ethernet/IP. Browser-based access makes it a fit for teams that want to author and view projects without centering the workflow on a single desktop application.
Its feature set reaches beyond visualization: FUXA includes a data historian (DAQ), alarm setup and alarm history. It also supports integrations with SQLite, InfluxDB, ODBC and Redis. Deployment options include self-hosted on-premises use, Docker, and standalone desktop packages for Windows, macOS and Linux. That combination may suit teams that want to control deployment and connect a visualization project to supported industrial protocols and data stores. Buyers should account for managing the self-hosted environment as part of adopting it.
The open-source edition is the starting point, while FUXA Pro adds white-label branding, additional resources and templates, user and script event logging, and unlimited installations. The published plan information does not establish a Pro price here, so buyers should check with the vendor before budgeting for those additions. Support is community-based, which may not fit teams that require a stated vendor support channel. Choose FUXA if browser-based editing, open-source access, protocol breadth and included historian and alarm functions align with your deployment needs; consider an alternative if vendor support is a priority or self-hosting is unsuitable.
