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**

Nexas Networks Inc. （Nexas）是一家专注于计算机集成制造的创新型本地公司。自2010年**成立以来，他们在机床连接领域开发了硬件和软件。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。**安大略省实现制造设施数字化的最大效益的一个限制是目前在**运行的数控设备的时代。目前运行的大多数机器都是在每台机器需要一个专门的操作员并且**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。**在大规模采用新技术之前，制造业需要严格的测试和概念验证。Nexas网络公司和麦克马斯特制造研究所（MMRI）正在合作将MMRI开发成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。**该项目将专注于将Nexas硬件集成到MMRI数控机械的现有基础设施中。这将为Nexas技术的测试和开发提供广泛的加工技术、通信要求和传感器数据，同时也将建立一个真正的工业数字化卓越中心。**Nexas Networks Inc. www.nexasnet.com**MMRI .mcmaster.ca**
