Development of a Wireless Interconnected Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility

Nexas Networks Inc.（Nexas）在一家专注于计算机集成制造的创新型本地公司工作。自2010年 ** 成立以来，他们开发了机床连接领域的硬件和软件。这种硬件和 ** 软件的结合能够将现有的计算机控制（CNC）制造设备带入高科技数字时代。安大略实现制造设施数字化的最大效益的一个限制是目前运行的CNC设备的年龄。目前运行的大多数机器都是在每台机器都需要一个专门的操作员和 ** 执行单一操作的时候设计的。Nexas开发的技术可以实现几乎任何 ** 由CNC设备组成的制造设施的现代化。**制造业是一个在大规模采用新技术之前需要进行严格测试和概念验证的行业。** Nexas Networks Inc和麦克马斯特制造研究所（MMRI）正在合作，将MMRI发展成为一个供应商中立的试验场，用于开发和展示制造技术和能力的数字革命。该项目的重点是将Nexas硬件集成到MMRI CNC机械的现有基础设施中。这将提供广泛的加工技术、通信要求和传感器数据，以便对Nexas技术进行更强大的测试和开发，同时还将建立一个真正的工业数字化卓越中心。Nexas Networks Inc. www.nexasnet.com MMRI mmri.mcmaster.ca **

Nexas Networks Inc. (Nexas) in an innovative local company focused on Computer Integrated Manufacturing. Since forming in**2010, they have developed hardware and software in the area of machine tool connectivity. This combination of hardware and**software is capable of bringing existing computer controlled (CNC) manufacturing equipment into a high-tech digital age.**A limitation to Ontario realizing the maximum benefits of manufacturing facility digitization is the age of CNC equipment currently in**operation. Most machines currently in operation were designed in a time where each machine required a dedicated operator and**performed a singular operation. Nexas has developed technology that can allow for the modernization of virtually any**manufacturing facility that is comprised of CNC equipment.**Manufacturing is an industry that requires rigorous testing and proof of concept before adopting new technologies on a large scale.**Nexas Networks Inc and the McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI) are collaborating to develop the MMRI into a**vendor neutral proving ground for the development and showcasing of a digital revolution in manufacturing techniques and**capabilities.**This project will focus on integrating Nexas hardware into the existing infrastructure of MMRI CNC machinery. This will provide a**wide range of machining techniques, communication requirements, and sensor data for more robust testing and development of**Nexas technologies, while also establishing a true centre of excellence in industrial digitization.**Nexas Networks Inc. www.nexasnet.com**MMRI mmri.mcmaster.ca**
