Connect the systems that run your factory

Is the work order ready?

Bring together ERP demand, WMS material availability, QMS release status, MES production capacity and CMMS machine readiness before production begins.

What is happening on the floor?

Connect production activity with material, equipment, maintenance, schedule and quality context, so operations sees constraints across systems instead of inside departmental silos.

What is affected?

When quality, equipment or material issues appear, trace the affected work orders, WIP, lots, machines and inventory so teams can respond before the impact spreads.

Instead of a single “Released” status, the supervisor sees the constraint that actually matters, and which system owns it.

Reach the systems you have

Native adapters cover NetSuite, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, QuickBooks Online and Monday.com, alongside Generic HTTP/REST and Generic JDBC connectors. If a system exposes a supported API or database, Nexus can bring it into the same governed layer. No purpose-built connector is required for every MES.

Reconcile the vocabularies

ERP’s work_order, MES’s job and QMS’s production_order describe the same thing. UQL presents every source through one model (Bridge, Container, Collection, Field), and pipelines and workspace tables hold the crosswalks that map them.

Answer across sources

Cross-system reports query multiple bridges at once and join the results inside Nexus. Same-source logic is pushed down; cross-system results are combined. A single status field becomes a complete readiness picture.

Live where it counts

Live-federate fast sources at view time. Synchronize slow, rate-limited or expensive sources into the Nexus workspace on a schedule. Two tiers, chosen per source.

Coordinate the response

Pipelines do more than read. They evaluate, apply business rules, query another system, and write back or escalate where the target interface allows, reducing the time from detection to response.

A view for every role

Nexus Sites turn reports, bridges and pipelines into role-specific internal apps, hosted in your deployment and running under the signed-in user’s permissions.

• Part and revision, routing operations
• Material lots and WIP movements
• Machines, assets and operators
• Inspection results, NCRs and rework
• Finished goods, cost and variance

Traceability without consolidation

Nexus pulls each record from the system that owns it and connects them through mappings, reports, pipelines and workspace tables. The work order becomes the spine of the model, and no system’s data moves into a new master.

Live federation

For systems that respond efficiently, Nexus queries them when a report or dashboard loads, so what you see reflects the connected systems at that moment. No separate reporting warehouse is required.

• Which work orders are currently released
• Which machines have maintenance conditions
• Which orders are on quality hold
• Which material lots are available

Synchronized operational workspace

For slower, expensive or rate-limited sources, a scheduled pipeline pulls and normalizes data into the Nexus Postgres workspace, and reports and dashboards query that local copy.

• Recommended for slow or metered APIs
• Normalizes source fields on the way in
• Runs manual, scheduled or externally triggered
• Keeps dashboards fast under load

Production Control Center

Orders running, orders awaiting machine, material shortages, quality holds, downtime, machine readiness and late orders.

Quality Containment Center

Failed inspections, active NCRs, WIP potentially affected, related material lots, machines associated with defects, orders still running and inventory requiring disposition.

Production Impact View

Machines down, PM due, production currently assigned, upcoming orders requiring the asset and estimated affected production.

Factory Operating View

Orders released, running and blocked, schedule attainment, scrap and rework, quality alerts and maintenance constraints.

• Operational visibility
• Cross-system synchronization
• Work-order readiness
• Quality containment
• Production exception management
• Maintenance-aware production planning
• Traceability
• Cross-system workflow orchestration
• Management reporting

Not machine control. Nexus is not a PLC, SCADA or deterministic real-time control platform, and not a safety-critical machine-to-machine transaction bus. It sits one layer above control.

Reliability boundaries. Nexus provides a durable run queue, scheduling, monitoring, audit history, row-count constraints, write-approval workflows and exactly-once cron firing. It does not currently provide automatic run-level retries, a dead-letter queue, native durable step-level recovery, or end-to-end exactly-once execution; those are roadmap or non-guaranteed. Nexus should not be the sole safety-critical transaction bus between machines.
