Development of a Wireless Interconnected Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility

Nexas Networks Inc.(Nexas)是一家专注于计算机集成制造的创新本土公司。自2010年成立以来，他们已经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(数控)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好处的一个限制是目前正在**运行的数控设备的时代。目前正在运行的大多数机器都是在这样一个时代设计的：每台机器都需要一名专门的操作员，**执行一次单独的操作。Nexas开发的技术可以使几乎任何**由数控设备组成的制造设施实现现代化。**制造业是一个在大规模采用新技术之前需要严格的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开发成**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技术的更强有力的测试和开发提供**广泛的加工技术、通信要求和传感器数据，同时还将在工业数字化方面建立一个真正的卓越中心。**Nexas网络公司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**
