Nexfara · Industrial Integration & Control

Turn equipment into connectable assets and systems into one operational flow.

Nexfara is an industrial integration and control service that combines connect, integrate, execute and operate components to fit each project scope while preserving legacy machines, in-house execution systems and external vendor systems.

Nexfara industrial integration and control concept visual

Challenge

Legacy machines, in-house systems and external vendor systems each draw different boundaries for signals, commands, states and responsibilities, making connection and recovery complex. Machine connectivity is fragmented across PLCs, proprietary protocols and vendor interfaces, in-house and vendor execution systems must run side by side, and commands, states, coordinates, units, codes and completion criteria disagree. Field exceptions such as link loss, duplicate commands, missing products and manual recovery must be designed in from the start.

Configuration

Select only the components you need and integrate them to the project scope while keeping the existing operating environment and vendor systems. EdgeOn does not replace Safety PLCs or equipment-specific safety controls.

EdgeOn: standardizes legacy machine signals, states, events and commands (Asset·Tag·State)
Link: system integration through APIs, models, events, commands and Vendor Connectors (Gateway·Model·Router)
Open Execution — ACS Domain / WCS Domain: choose Nexfara or integrate Existing/Vendor systems per project
Orchestrator (optional): coordinates tasks, resources and sequencing across systems
Monitor/Sim: unified monitoring, tracing and alarms with simulation and virtual validation
Project Extension: customer-, machine- and vendor-specific Adapters, Mappings and Workflows

03 · Operating Flow

Machine analysis

Analyze machines, PLC I/O, protocols, business flows and in-house/external systems.

Connect

Convert machine signals, states, events and commands into standard models with EdgeOn.

Integrate

Connect requests, states and results between execution and business systems with Link.

Validate execution

Verify representative normal and exception scenarios against real machines.

Stabilize operations

Establish monitoring, alarms, recovery procedures and change management as the operating baseline.

Reliability rules

End-to-End tracing from raw machine signals to business orders with Correlation IDs
Buffer, Timeout, Retry and Idempotency reliability rules
Alarm and manual-recovery operating procedures
REST · gRPC · DB · MQ · Custom Connector interfaces
Asset · Coordinate · Unit · Code · State semantic mapping
Reusable EdgeOn/Link common models with site differences isolated in Adapters, Mappings and Workflows

Application scenarios

Legacy Machine Retrofit: connect data, events and commands of PLC-based and proprietary machines.
SMT material logistics: combine MES, warehouse and line with in-house and external execution systems per project scope.
Process-linked automation: link machining, inspection, packing, robot and equipment states with work flows.
Equipment and robot integration: connect Vision, Robot, AMR and Vendor Controllers through shared scenarios.

Delivery process

Discovery

Analyze machines, business flows and in-house/external systems.

Machine Interface

Define Tags, Signals, States and Commands and complete Machine I/O approval.

Nexfara PoC

Diagnose and validate the component mix on one machine and a representative scenario.

System Integration

Integrate MES/MCS and execution systems through Connectors.

Field Validation

Validate E2E scenarios including internal and external vendors against FAT/SAT gates.

Stabilization

Stabilize with operations monitoring, failure analysis, handover and change management.

Request a Nexfara feasibility review

Share your target machines and PLC I/O, in-house/external system landscape, representative normal and exception scenarios, and network and deployment environment, and we will shape the adoption and validation plan. Supported protocols, performance, standards, vendors, versions/SKUs and test or contract scope are confirmed after customer-environment and project validation.
