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，他们开发了机床连接领域的硬件和软件。这种硬件和**软件的组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。**目前 CNC 设备的时代是安大略省实现制造设施数字化最大效益的一个限制。 **手术。目前运行的大多数机器都是在设计时每台机器都需要专门的操作员并**执行单一操作。 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。**该项目将重点关注将 Nexas 硬件集成到 MMRI CNC 机械的现有基础设施中。这将为**Nexas 技术进行更强大的测试和开发提供**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**
